    I'm going to go against the grain on this sandwich joint located off the campus of Emory. It was really pretty meh for me. Parking is nearby, but could offer challenge. I caught them off peak and parked by the door. I ordered a meatball sub and found out their soda machine was broke, no ice, no bottle drinks. Not even water. The staff was meh. Seating is only outside under an awning, no heat. Also it had been raining and was 50% flooded Order was out in around 10 minutes and was good. So that saved the review. I maybe return. I think they have better days.

    A bus driver told me about this place last week. So i came back. I had ..." The Big Dave. Let me some it up in 3 words SPICY!!!!! I Looked over and Jesus was crying. I said its that good huh. He said no my eye is itching and i can't scratch it,i I do im gonna get hot pepper in my eyes MESSY!!!! Yep not exactly the kind sandwitch you wanna try if your wearing a 3 piece suit. Had to keep sliding my meat back onto the bread GOOD!!!!! But despite all that very good. Im gonna come back and trying more sandwitches. I will give them prompts for having free wifi,thats always a plus. The seating is out doors. But they seem to atleast be running fans witch made it tolerable. I wanted to try a chocolate chip brownie,but they were out. I cant wait to come back and try more things. Prices seem to be hit or miss in my opinion. That meaning some things seemed reasonable,while others seemed outrages. My meal for what i had seemed fair,around $18.

    Tried their "signature" Original Dave Cosmic Sub and it was just okay. Nothing offensive, but nothing memorable either. Honestly felt like something I could throw together from Publix for cheaper and probably better. This spot definitely caters to the college crowd of nearby Emory: quick, semi-cheap, and gives off strong "hangover meal" vibes. If you're nearby and hungry, it'll do the job. But if you're expecting something next-level or worth a detour this may not be the place. The person taking my order was helpful and the sub came out in a reasonable amount of time so no issues there. That said, I can see the appeal if you're in the area and want something fast without breaking the bank.

    Dave's is seriously the best sandwich spot in town. Humble little place in Emory Village where you order at the counter and can sit outside on their patio. They have a large menu of subs, and everything comes with their "cosmic sauce," which is SO good. My favorites are the Far Out Chicken Sub and the Chicken Parm Sandwich -- both are packed with flavor and just hit the spot every time. The service can be a little slow, but it's always worth the wait. If you're into sandwiches, you've got to check this place out!

    Dave's is the BEST! The food is always soooooo delicious and well priced and made with quality ingredients. It's got a super cool vibe to it with a big chalkboard wall you can draw on while you wait for your order. We come back again and again and our faves are the Grateful Dave and the Vegetarian Meatball subs.

My sister and I split the Gaucho and the Yellowfin Tuna Melt (~$20 each). Pricey for sandwiches, but the quality is there. The Gaucho is packed with meat, almost too much, so the combo with chips helps balance things out. The Tuna Melt was the clear winner, Calabrian chilies with the tuna salad was a great call, though the bread-to-filling ratio could use some work. Overall, both sandwiches are delicious but could use some ratio tweaking. I'll be back to work through the rest of their rotating menu.

After many, many months (okay, years at this point), I returned. Unfortunately, I had the same experience with my order. I ordered the Hot Italian. It was warm, and that's all this sandwich delivered. The porchetta was dry, chewy and bland. It was so bad that I didn't eat it all. And the pepperoni and soppressata didn't add any spice to the sandwich. This is the first time I have ever been disappointed in soppressata! I thought the pepperoni mayo would add some kick as well and maybe it would have if there had been more than a half-tablespoon of it. And the bread was not fresh! I could have cried over this. The cost is outrageous for this kind of quality. On the upside, the service remains top tier and the space is still welcoming. But I won't be back. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

I would've liked a bit more seasoning on the overall dish but it was still satisfying. Our waiter was super attentive and checked on us periodically to ensure we were good and even gifted us with a scoop of strawberry gelato which was super sweet of him. This is truly a neighborhood gem and I really enjoyed my time here. I'd definitely come back here based off the service and taste of the food alone.

It's adjacent to a parking deck and small. Very cozy, though! The menu is simple and it was a one-man show that day (other staff had left due to closing). LOVED IT!

My favorite is the ATL chick which is juicy fried chicken breast tossed in buffalo sauce and... ANNNND... lemon pepper. Cmon. We're in ATL. What other way is there?! Then it has ranch drizzled on top and dressed how you want... lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle. Even the bread is yummy. The sweet potato fries are crispy and airy and go great with the comeback sauce which is whatever smoky heavenly concoction they came up with as a sauce. Listen if you're in downtown Decatur... Do yourself a favor and get here! There is street parking available and you can pay by app or at the meter. It's about $2 for an hour. They also serve salads, other sandwiches, and breakfast. Small collection of beer, wine, and cocktails.

    WHO DAT in Atlanta!…read more As a lifelong New Orleans Saints fan living in the Atlanta area, I genuinely appreciate finding an official Saints bar that actually pairs the game-day atmosphere with New Orleans-style food. The Po'Boy Shop in Decatur does exactly that. I had visited before and tried a few different po'boys to go, and they were great, but this time I decided to stay and watch the Saints game. That completely changed the experience for me. The atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for--Saints fans, good energy, football on the TVs, New Orleans food, and a crowd that was actually invested in the game. It felt like a legitimate gathering spot for the Who Dat Nation rather than simply a restaurant that happens to show football. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the restaurant was clean and comfortable, and once again, the po'boys delivered. It's hard to beat watching the Saints with other fans while eating a good New Orleans-style po'boy hundreds of miles away from Louisiana. What I appreciate most is that The Po'Boy Shop gives Saints fans around Atlanta a place that actually feels like our spot on game day. Win or lose, that kind of atmosphere makes watching the game more enjoyable. Good food. Great staff. Great atmosphere. And plenty of Saints energy. I'll absolutely be back--especially on game days--and highly recommend The Po'Boy Shop to anyone looking for New Orleans-style food or fellow Saints fans searching for a home away from the Dome in the Atlanta area.
