Not a bad place I've ate here lots of times for lunch my favorite is there cornbeef

They makes subs that are out of this world! Definitely best subs I've ever had, take the back seat Jimmy Johns.

First and last time eating here. I ordered from Door Dash, and I can't believe I paid so much for two subs with stale, hard bread. No onions on my tuna sandwich. It was just bland. The cheese was shedded and barely stayed on the sandwich. Gave the wrong chips. What a hot mess. So irritated. Don't do it. read more

http://www.davescosmicsubs.com/Atlanta.html Groovy lit'le sub shack in Emory Village. A bit more pricy than most chain sub places, but worth it on occasion as the ingredients are so much more fresh.. Good quality bread, too! read more

Amazing! Great sandwich and good customer service! Try the Crazy Dave. For vegetarians I recommend the Garden Burger, it is excellent.

Tucked away into the far corners of emory village, Dave's cosmic subs is a hidden gem that you'd be amiss not to try. If the rock posters from a decade ago plastered all over the walls or the red peppers adorning the outdoor dining tables do not pique your interest then let the food blow you out of the water - these subs really hit the spot and they really are a bang for your buck (size portions are more than enough for a hearty meal and left overs). This place is eclectic and delicious - and if you're thinking of going to the jimmy johns down the street - don't Dave's is better. read more

Great selection of subs and salads. Has a great hippie vibe and fast turn around. I had a chicken cordon bleu which was pretty good. They only have outdoor covered seating so if it is in the middle of the summer or cold out I would plan on doing pick up. This place is close to Emory and definitely geared around the college students. read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The special sauce is amazing! If you are looking for a solid sandwich, Dave's is the spot

Went today for the first time. I can't say enough about how fantastic this place is. I am sure the fact the weather has warmed up makes the seating area far better, but forget about that. The sandwiches my son and I had were the best subs I have ever had in Atlanta, and I have lived here over 30 years. Get Dave's Cosmic Sauce on your sandwich. It's amazing. They take a good little while to make the sandwiches, but that's because they are works of art. Be patient. Amazing. Also, the owner was there, and he couldn't have been nicer. I drove all the way over from Brookhaven, and I will be making the pilgrimage back very soon! Yummm! read more

The boy has tried to get me to eat here for months. We happened to drive by it this afternoon and decided to stop for lunch. I got the Grateful Dave (turkey, avocado, sprouts, & mayo) & he got the World Famous. There was a line when we got there, but they had ours ready in 15 minutes or less I'd say. Plus, it was a nice day, so I didn't mind soaking up some 65 degree weather in January. The guy working the counter was efficient & friendly. I was happy with mine. It was a good size, reasonably priced, and tasty. I think I still like Jimmy John's a little bit better, though. It pains me to say that as I, too, prefer to support local business. If I'm in the area & want a sub, I know where to go. read more

I was out on Sunday and looking for a place to get a quick bite for lunch. I tried to stop in the Panera in Emory Village for a sandwich. I quickly found that there wasn't an available parking space and ended up across the street at Cosmic Daves. I've passed this place a number of times and commented on it (in a somewhat joking manner) to my girlfriend when leaving Rise N Dine. This is definitely a prime example of why you don't judge a "book by its cover." First off, I walked in (still a little unsure of whether or not I had made a wise decision) and there is an old hippy-ish dude behind the counter that I can only assume is "Cosmic Dave." I don't know what his last name is, but he looks like Dustin Hoffman's brother, so we'll just assume he's "Cosmic" Dave Hoffman. Thinking that there's no way the Hoffman family would serve a subpar lunch, and knowing that I was starving and didn't want to leave to go to another place, I put in my order. I had the Turkey Dave. It was fantastic! The bread was delicious, toppings were fresh, and it wasn't over seasoned. The also have Zapp's potato chips, which I happen to enjoy quite a bit, but haven't had in a while. I definitely recommend stopping by for a sub if you're in the area. read more

I love Dave's! I spent the summer in Atlanta and it was right across from my apartment so I ate there quite a few times. I tried: -The Original Dave's Cosmic Sub -The Crazy Dave -Dave's Best Meatball Ever -Brownie -Chili This place rocks! They usually take a little bit to make the sandwiches (especially when there is a line, which there usually is) so call ahead for fast service! Make sure you get the brownie. It is sooooo amazing. I recommend all of those sandwiches because none of them disappointed. However, I do not recommend the chili. It was kind of gummy and unflavorful. But the sandwiches rock so that makes up for it. read more

AMAZING SANDWICHES. Love them. SAdly the customer service isn't the best. Found myself there with them closed over an hour early two nights in a row with no notice of any kind. Walked in the first night and was rudely apologized to because he "cleaned up early." It was 7:49. Went the following night after having called in an order and pulled up to them closed. At 7:30. I walked in and picked up my sandwich that I called in but then watched the person walk in after me get turned away so it's clear that this person is too lazy to do his job and stay open until the time posted. Had this drafted for a few months and have come back only to have the same issue again. Now I'm hangry and won't be giving this business anymore of my time. Pretty unfortunate. Third times the charm. Still closing early with no warning. Update your ducking hours please thanks. read more

Amazing American sub with corned beef! Definitely one of most memorable sandwich experiences. We pick up these subs and go to the park For a picnic and savor every bite! read more

Wow. Great subs and you MUST try the Red Cream Soda; a fountain drink they carry. The staff are absolutely eager for you to enjoy your food. I had the #1 (Dave's original, I think) and the "Hey Dave" (#17 I think) and both rocked. Yes, that's right, I went twice on my first time through there. The "Hey Dave" was one of their more "Out there" sandwiches, but entirely pleases the taste buds. http://www.davescosmicsubsatl.com/ read more

Reviewing as a vegetarian who doesn't like mushrooms and is picky about veggies...I just wish they had a meat substitute option (like beyond meat or tofu) and/or fries read more

I'm not even going to waste your time to say anything else but come here and you will not regret it. These sandwiches are made with greasy slime ball love like I'm blown away. The bread, meat, veggies, cheese CRAY AY AY AZZZZZZ. Seriously best sandwich spot in atl. It's crazy Its a hole in the wall spot and not some flared up place but whoever owns this shit i love you and your cook read more

I got the number 27 and added cheese. The bread was old and flaky and tasted stale. The lettuce smelled like it had been left open in the refrigerator. There was no mayonnaise or sauce or hot pepper sauce like it says on the menu. There was also no avocado and no alfalfa sprouts. This was a complete fail. Unfortunately I got it to go. The place wasn't busy and I can't imagine how somebody could make such a colossal mess of an order. Sorry about the review, but it's the truth. Please do better as I like to support local biz. read more

Really good subs. But just ordered two meatball subs and it's been twenty minutes and I still don't have my food. No one was in front of me when i ordered and I'm not sure why it takes 20+ minutes to make a sandwich. and they handed someone a meatball sub who came in after me. Still waiting... 25 minutes for 2 subs read more

The BEST sub in Atlanta. The sauce they use is freaking delicious. I wish they had more locations in Atlanta! Prices are decent - $7 for a regular, 6" sub and $12 for a large. read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - The #8 Crazy Dave - my favorite! - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I now know why it is cosmic. There are řegular subs that everyone has. And then there are cosmic ones. Dave's Famous Bleu is incredible. I had it for lunch 4 hours ago and I'm still over the moon. read more

If you are looking for a delicious sandwich and nothing more, you really can't beat Dave's Cosmic Subs. The subs here are incredible - the ingredients seem fresh, the bread is delicious, there is a great variety of sandwich options, and their cosmic sauce is addicting. The Original is by far the best sub I have had in Atlanta (if not ever). I would also recommend Dave's for fabulous chocolate chip cookies. If you are looking for a sandwich place with great service and ambiance this should probably not be your first choice. The staff is pretty apathetic about customer service and making these subs in any kind of timely matter. It is definitely a "chill" atmosphere, which is fine if you are willing to be patient and do not expect any special accommodations for your sandwich needs. The only seating is in an enclosed patio - so I wouldn't plan to eat at the restaurant if the weather is at all nasty. read more

I've been going to Dave's for years. Love their sandwiches. However, we had an unfortunate experience last week. We ordered through Uber Eats to Emory hospital (at work) for lunch. When our food came, we realized it was the incorrect order. We received 2 sandwiches instead of the 6 we ordered. We called to try to have it corrected and were told we had to contact Uber Eats. We could not get ahold of Uber Eats. I understand that the refund needed to come from Uber Eats since that is who we paid, but Dave's was not apologetic at all, admitted THEY gave Uber the wrong order, and did nothing to help resolve the issue. I even asked if they could expedite a new order to us if we reordered and was not told yes. I spoke to Marsha. Very disappointed. We will be ordering from somewhere else next time. read more

ooo-ee. Me likey. This is a great sub shop. The first ting to know is that it's possibly the best sandwich bread in Atlanta. I mean, COME ON. Really nice crust - not the chewy crap you generally find in the South. The bread itself is delicate but substantial enough to hold a sandwich - not the thin, dry, and airy crap you usually get around here. And, it's got FLAVOR. I mean, what the hell is wrong with Atlantans that they can't make a reasonable sandwich bread. I can't say enough about this bread. The sandwich options are pretty good. I usually go for tuna (they do the annoying Southern thing of defaulting to extra mayo on tuna salad, but they'll stop it if you ask). The service is reasonably quick. As long as the weather's not too bad, the outdoor seating is nice. And, a fairly good price. Sandwich, chips, drink about $8. (Like one of the recent reviewers, I was surprised I had not yet reviewed this place, as I work nearby - at Emory - and go pretty often. read more

For a while I would run by Emory Village because I lived nearby. Dave' Cosmic Subs had always torqued my interest. My only bummer is the price. If you were looking to pay 9$ for a hoagie, then you are in luck. read more

How have I not reviewed this place yet?? I spent many of my college days grabbing lunch or dinner here. It's situated near the end of the village, past CVS, and is easily overlooked. However, once you've tried a cosmic sub it's pretty easy to walk right past the other restaurants as you make your way to Dave's. The staff is always fun and helpful if you can't make up your mind. The seating is limited, but the environment is great if you can grab a seat. It is limited, but I haven't had a chance getting seating since so many people get their food to go or hurry off quickly after eating. As for sandwiches, they are fantastic. All sandwiches are served on their tasty hoagie bread (except the reuben - a hidden gem), which is crunchy and chewy. I have had a range of sandwiches, from cold to toasted, from mild to spicy, and I can assure you that you can't go wrong. My personal favorites are the Far Out, the Original, the Crazy Dave, and the Reuben. Skip over the restaurants that you can find elsewhere, and make your way down to Dave's to have a one-of-a-kind sub! read more

Delicious! My boyfriend and I found Dave's on yelp and just wanted something easy and fast after hiking Stone Mountain. Dave's hit the spot and was super quick and tasted so wonderful! I had Dave's crazy sub (hot), my boyfriend had Dave's original sub (cold) -- both fantastic. We will definitely be making a trip back even for just the subs read more

This place is pretty cool. I've only been once, but enjoyed it. The garden burger really hit the spot! They have at least three veggie options that sound delicious so I'm sure I'll be back. I think I saw something about chocolate-dipped cheesecake. How enticing! read more

Dave's has a psychedelic and hippy's 70's feel to it. They have good subs. Their large subs are rather large. I eat more than most people, and their large filled me up. Would I go out of my way for a sub there? Probably not, but I would go there again. read more

Best subs in the atl. Needed a place to lift my spirits up while my son was at the hospital. Love the yellow submarine painting.

Regular meatball sub was really tasty. Big portion, I love to eat but I imagine the large would have been overkill for one person. Friendly service. read more

I live in the area and have been a customer for a long time. This place has really gone down hill since it changed ownership. The new owner is rude and really does not care about customer service. I went to the restaurant for the last time recently. I walked in and started to place my order with the young man behind the register. Before I could finish placing my order the owner from the kitchen looks at me and rudely asks, "where's your mask?" I told him I did not know a mask was required as most of the restaurant is open air, and most places in the Atlanta area are not requiring people to wear masks. At that point he says, "get out". I asked him if it was ok to finish placing my order and I will just go wait outside until the order is finished. "No, leave!" Now, this is his restaurant so it is his rules, but he does not have to act like an a-hole when enforcing the rules, and to make it worse, he was not even wearing his mask correctly. He had his mask pulled down below his nose. Thankfully, there is a Jimmy Johns within 50 feet from him so I walked out of his establishment and ordered a meal from Jimmy Johns. I will never go back to this restaurant again until ownership changes. Good riddance. read more

The food might be good. I don't know. I ordered through grubhub. I had the email confirmation and Money drafted from my account. When we went to pick up the order they didn't have the order. The staff was rude and acted if I was at fault. I called grubhub, who had to call the restaurant and discovered the restaurant's system was at fault. My money was then refunded from grubhub. I will continue to use grubhub for their quick resolution. I was annoyed that with an email confirmation from grubhub the restaurant wouldn't even consider that there might be a problem on their end. It was a situation that was unnecessarily handled poorly. read more

An Atlanta native for twenty one years, and today was my first time. It won't be my last, though it may be the last time I get a sandwich from anywhere else as long as Dave's is open. Seriously, just come get a sandwich here. With over thirty pre-made choices (not counting substitutions), there's something for everyone. Easily among the best in Atlanta. read more

I love these one offs in cities filled with chain fast food places. I was overwhelmed with the selection. I had the incredible Dave. It was very good! The decor is really cool- nothing fancy but quite memorable. I give Dave's the highest ratings for quality, selection and taste! Why can subway make a sandwich this good? read more

Every time I want a sandwich, I want it to be a Dave's Cosmic Sub. Always, always great BREAD! My personal favorite is 13 - The Turkey Dave because turkey and banana peppers are a yummy combo when paired with the bread. read more

Subs are 4/5 but staff is always closing down early. Posted hours say open until 8pm on weekdays but lights are off and doors are locked most days by 7:30 plus they do not answer the phone after 7. Haven't been able to eat here in months due to the inconsistencies. Better get here early if you want a sub for dinner! read more

While I like the food here, and it's of fairly decent value, this business is doing little to nothing to be accommodating during Covid. We've been going here for years, but their "curbside pickup" still requires you to go in, and they don't even offer payment over the phone as an option (nor did they say online possible). I even called to inquire about this, and the guy who answered was rude and inflexible. Having been inside the place multiple times, I don't trust their ventilation to be up to par. If they aim to stay in business, I hope they make more of an effort to be accommodating and polite to potential customers. Sorry, but after this interaction, we won't be going back. read more

Not really sure how his place got such high reviews, consistently... Underwhelmed is an understatement. Flat out bad is more accurate. Cool hole in the wall place, good location, good parking. But as far as food quality, it's severely lacking. Bread was borderline stale, meat was cheap quality that you can see and taste. The ingredients used were lower quantity then a subway sub. But at least at subway you can get a $5 footlong, here it's $12 for the same size sub. You barely get any meat on the sub to boot. Wouldn't recommend to a friend. Won't be returning. read more

First time visit this afternoon for lunch... as I perused the menu and remembering the glowing remarks on Yelp for the hot subs, I went with the "Hey Dave," picked up a bag of jalapeno chips and went on my merry way. When I returned to my office, I unwrapped a very good sandwich. The Hey Dave features roast beef, horseradish, swiss, home made cole slaw, and banana peppers on rye. The roast beef was lean, very tender, and quite delicious and the cole slaw was very good - not too runny and not overpowering. The flavors balanced well, but for my taste I would have liked a little stronger horseradish. The rye was very good, just "tough enough" to hold up and not chewy. Another plus is that with everything going on with this sandiwch and after a 5-10 minute walk to my office, the bread was not soggy. I'm glad I got the jalapeno chips because they gave the spiciness I was looking for. They weren't busy at all and plenty of seating was available. However, this is also due to the fact that the semester is over. I would go back and another good sandwich would officially make me a "fan" as 4 stars would indicate. read more
