This is the original classic Dave's location.  It is in a little mini house off Main Street in Downtown Chagrin Falls.   This location is totally GROOVY.  I would not plan to dine in, this location is too loud and too small to accommodate more than a few people.  When I do go here, I carry out and eat near the Chagrin Falls.  It's a great view with a great sandwich.   I usually order the Turkey Dave, although any sub they have is delicious.  Dave's does not have a bad sub.  Also, don't forget the dirty chips to accompany your sub.  They have excellent brownies and cookies.  However, this location does not have beer and fries like the Solon location.   The staff is friendly, and will occasionally address me as,  "dude."  It is so funny to me at my age.  I was never a "dude" even when "dude" was in fashion.  Either way, they stay true to being groovy.    Hands down this is the best sub in Chagrin Falls.   Plan an afternoon lunch to enjoy the surroundings. read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs are so good but I rate them a 4 because they aren't the best in the world.but they still have really good service. But you guys should go to Dave's Cosmic Subs!!!!!!!! read more

This is the home of the mediocre sub. People like it in town because it is somewhat eclectic with the psychedelic paint job and rock memorabilia. For the price, you're really getting ripped off. Let's take a closer look. First, Dave himself is a complete jerk. He loves himself more than just about anybody I have ever met. Check out their website if you don't believe me- it's all about him. If he is working in the shop, you should just turn around and go somewhere else. He once got into an argument with me over whether I ordered unsalted or salted chips for my take out order. He actually started yelling at me about it- then when he read the order and it said SALTED chips, he started to scream (and I mean scream) at his staff. Get a life, Dave. The bread these subs are made on is ridiculous, in a bad way. It's got good flavor, but you will regret it later when your mouth is torn to shreds. The ingredients used to be top notch, but it seems as though Dave has moved to some less expensive stuff these days. Alesci's in Solon has better sub sauce than Dave's Cosmic Sauce- so does Grum's (even the crappy one one miles road.) All-in-all, for the money there are a lot of other places you can go in town and get a good sandwich. No need to burn your hard earned cash by giving it to an a-wad like Dave. read more

I tried this place recently for lunch and was blown away. The prices are a little higher than say Subway or McDonald's, but the price is well worth what you get. The sub had so much flavor and was so big I couldn't finish it. The owner, Dave, is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the different flavors he puts together. The one thing that was difficult was I was on my lunch break and he was incredibly talkative so it ate up a lot of my break just talking about what he does. It's well worth listening to and hearing the different things he has to say, I just wouldn't go if you're on a time-crunch, but again, the conversation was well worth having! I will definitely be going back to try the other creations! read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Disclaimer: this is the only Dave's I've been to. I know nothing of the franchise locations. Fuck the haters, man. This is the first, the famed, the fantastic Dave's Cosmic Subs and I won't hear a word against it. I've been eating here since I was young and I've had 9 or 10 things from their menu over and over again. I've never had anything bad from them. Dave's Sauce is an awesome, tangy Caesar-dressing-y condiment that goes pretty well on anything. The bread is crunchy, tasty, and a lot to manage, but it's worth it. The decor is crazy psychedelic and a great break from the Puritanical, stuffy lifestyle of the rest of Chagrin Falls (I'm allowed to say that, it's my hometown). It's Basically a classic rock cathedral in there-- collectible concert posters, painted ceiling. Recommend: Turkey Dave, Grateful Dave, Haight-Ashbury Don't trust anyone; go try it yourself. These are the best subs in Cleveland. Their pickles are pretty good too. read more

First time here. I eat a lot of subs and this was at best mediocre, although all the glowing reviews say otherwise. Ordered a Dave's cosmic sub original. Meat seemed cheap (not high quality boars head etc), bread was crispy not soft and, served cold.cosmic sauce is just a creamy Italian dressing with a bunch of cheap meat and bland mozzarella shoved on top . Nothing special at all. I'm all for supporting small shops with good product but honestly i can get way better Italian sub at GetGo. read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs is an iconic restaurant in downtown Chagrin Falls and they serve the best sub sandwiches in the Cleveland area as far as I'm concerned. The bread is fresh baked, the ingredients are tasty and of high quality, and the pickles are to die for (just don't ask for extras or where Dave's buys them, it's a 'secret'). My only complaints would be that they do not accept credit cards and that the line can be a bit long. Oh, and Dave himself isn't exactly the most pleasant bloke in the world, but he's never thrown me out or given me trouble. Just feign interest in his hair-metal band and/or be an attractive female and you'll do just fine with Dave. read more

As far as subs go, there is nothing better than Dave's. I've been going here since I was eight years old and I always try to keep too much time from passing before going again. For me, heaven is in the form of a Dave's All American (roast beef, cheddar and jack cheese, thousand island dressing with tomato and lettuce) heated in the oven until the cheese gets a little crispy on the edges. Wow. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Anyways, if you've never been to the little store by the falls, you are in for an experience. Dave has plastered every wall with memorabilia from his hippy days and the stereo always has some great classic rock playing. Dave is usually behind the counter, harassing customers and yelling at people who try and pay with credit cards, try to mix and match sandwiches, etc. He can be kind of abusive, and he isn't too shy about his prices, but he knows how to make a sandwich. If you are in Chagrin Falls (the other locations just aren't as good) and are looking for a fantastic sub, this is the place to go. A Chagrin Falls tradition that makes us unique and delicious! read more

Best subs on town. Hands down. Fresh bread with a soft middle. I'm obsessed with their pickles! I bought a jar just to take home. They have some unique flavors of chips and soda pop. They also have party trays. Perfect for parties or when you just don't feel like cooking. read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - New sandwich! - Sandwiches Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

The subs are fantastic. I get the original sub and always make sure to grab a bottle of Dave's Cosmic Sauce since it tastes good on just about anything. We purposely took a detour to stop here for lunch on our way home to Michigan and the whole time we were hoping that Dave wasn't going to be there. We encountered him before when we had family in Chagrin years ago. Luckily this time around his happy, cheerful, and welcoming employees were running the shop instead. Stay away Dave, it's better for business. Send your cute associate up to Ann Arbor to open up his own shop. Go green :) read more

I ordered the #1 sub, and it was disappointing. First of all it was cold. I don't know if they offer hot subs, but I wasn't given the option. The pepperoni would have really tasted better toasted. read more

My grandson and I rode our bikes into town for a treat at Dave's. It did not disappoint. My sub #13, turkey, provolone, tomato, lettuce, banana peppers and Dave's Cosmic Sauce was fresh, the bread was crusty outside and soft inside and all in all the sub was very tasty. The service was quick and polite. If you want a great sun in the Chagrin area, Dave's is the place to go. read more

Check your order before leaving. I placed an order to be picked up. I ordered a cheese steak sub, minus the veggies and added bacon. I picked it up and rushed on to work, only to notice that the bacon that I requested and paid for was not added. This is the second time this happened. I contacted them only to speak to a young man claiming to be the lead person in charge at the moment. Who told me to bring the sandwich back, (I am at work) and then said did you take a picture, NO! I ate the sandwich I was at work and that was my lunch. I guess I will not be going back to this establishment in the future. IF YOU GO, CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU LEAVE. read more

The atmosphere is different for sure...Cosmic Dave...I get it now :) Sandwiches have two choices for bread...white or wheat....it is sooo yummy too. Love the special "dave sauce" still trying to figure out just what it was. He has it bottled so you can take it home and add it to your sandwiches too :) Turkey Dave & Dave's Club were both very yummy sandwich choices for us. read more

The Original Dave's Cosmic Sub was excellent! I loved the amount of garlic and sauce and the italian bread was SO dense and SO yummy! GARLIC HEAVEN. I have a sensitive stomach and didn't have any issues and will be back. Even though I'm tiny, I wish I had ordered 2 subs as one sub was amazing but not enough food for me! My husband ordered Dave's Famous Reuben and there was enough corned beef on this sandwich to feed both of us after I finished my sub, also excellent taste. The vanilla creme soda tasted amazing, yes it does have preservatives though so just nice as a treat. The brownie was good, not very cake-like but extremely soft and almost underbake moisture, tons of chocolate and rich in flavor with icing top, great if you're in the mood for soft with lots of sugar and chocolate. The dirty potato chips are good kettle cooked potatoes, we tried funky fusion style and they were okay, but I'll try something different next time. As a very personal preference I would LOVE the online ordering option to add roast beef to a sub or to add garlic to other sandwiches because on a typical day I'm looking for the cosmic sub build, but I always want roast beef. I'll be back! read more

I loved this place. I had a roast beef sub with yummy horseradish sauce. My wife really enjoyed hers as well (the #2, I cant remember what it was called). Plus the Dude behind the counter was super nice and personable. And I got to tell my LA-raised 7 year old about the James Gang... read more

We're baaack! Stopped in for a quick to-go between activities and after church today. Co-owner, Camerin, was behind the counter being her typical helpful, friendly and gracious self and Eddie was fielding orders in the kitchen. My wife had her standard Dave's Tasty Bacon (can't get her to branch out but she knows a winner when she tastes one) and I went with #17 Dave's Best Meatball Sub Ever. Both were great and the sauces really make these subs stand out along with in-house baked breads. Outstanding and without peer. read more

Good subs. Large sub sandwiches with fresh deli meat and heaping of toppings. Beware large is acutally 2 normal sized subs. Bread is nice and crusty. Convenient consistent if not healthy fast meal option. read more

One of my favorite sub shops. I never leave disappointed. Their sauce they put on the Dave's Original is amazing and the bread is the perfect texture. read more

My daughter came into get a sub for the first time and immediately was sick; throwing up. Clearly food poisoning. I called the store and spoke with the manager to bring the issue to her attention, to prevent anyone else from getting sick from their food. She completely denied the possibility of it being the store's fault and did not even apologize. Poor customer service. Will not be returning. read more

I truly do enjoy the subs here, however I think that they're a bit pricey. To get dinner for my fiance and I, I will get a full sub for myself, a half sub for her, and a bag of chips for each of us. This usually comes out to around $23 which I feel is not unreasonable, but still a little pricey for a quick dinner. The subs still are very good though. If I am able eat mine right away, I will go for the Dave's Cordon Bleu which is served hot, and does not keep as well if I have to drive home after. Otherwise I'll usually go for the Incredible Dave, a chicken sub, or the Dave's World Famous, which has roast beef and chicken. My fiance normally likes the Turkey Dave. Have your napkins ready as these subs have a hearty portion of ingredients and are slathered in Dave's sauce, which is always tasty, but can become a bit messy. I'm also a fan of how most of the subs include banana peppers, a personal favorite addition to subs. Overall I like the suns here, I come on occasion when it is convenient for me, but I would come here more often if the subs were a bit more reasonably priced. read more

The original location. Little cramped. Food was very good. Portions were decent. Bread was fresh and crunchy. Wish there was a little more parking. read more

This place is stupid good. It's the Original Dave's and it's right by the Falls making it a staple if you're in the area. My sub is literally ready by the time I'm done paying (unless it's ridiculously busy) & it's the best sub I've ever had every time. The Dave's Cosmic Sauce is so fire too. Must have. read more

This is a curious little place with really excellent subs. Dave's Cosmic Subs has been franchised to several other locations around town, but the original Dave's is in Chargin Falls, where I go sometimes for lunch. You could say that this place has a "1960's/70's hippie rock theme", but that would be doing it a cruel injustice. This little shack feels more like an indie record store than a restaurant. It's an explosion of old rock paraphernalia and concert posters, including some glorious old concert photos of the founder Dave himself, in full rock regalia at the microphone in front of dozens, and perhaps even hundreds, of rabid fans. (If there existed any pictures of me in tight white spandex pants circa 1978, they would have been destroyed in a small fire a long time ago. Dave chose to display them at his restaurant. We clearly have different opinions about the aesthetic properties of spandex.) Dave himself is usually present at the Chargin Falls store during lunch hours, brooding behind the counter. He is something of a character. You can just sense his rock 'n' roll frontman ego and charisma still quietly at work. He can be very friendly, or he can be a total wise-ass. (Whatever...it's his store...he can do what he wants.) I'm not sure what kind of musical talent he was, but Dave certainly has a talent for making some damn fine subs, with high-end ingredients, creative sauces, and these wonderfully hard and crusty sub rolls. The service is lightning fast. There's not much room to eat here except for a pair of cramped, graffiti-riddled seating areas, so plan on taking your sub to go. read more

Went there again this year and it was just as good as last year. Same great small town and same great subs. Again, it's not Laspada's, but its solid good eats. read more

If you are ever in the Chagrin Falls area, this place is a MUST to go visit. I've always been a big fan of their subs. I always get Dave's Best Meatball ever or the Pizza sub. It's definitely something you won't experience anywhere else. Staff is super cool. Always go there when I visit home. read more

The sandwiches are super overrated... Also if you like to see what a person looks like on lsd and being hit on by all their staff visit here... Overpriced too read more

Really enjoy the vibe and the food. They even bottle their own sodas in a variety of flavors.

Well all right then those of you who are "down" on Dave. We appreciate Dave (and the sandwiches). Every single time, bar none, we have been greeted by Dave - complete customer service, great sandwiches. If you don't love them, fine, they are unique, not Subway nor Jimmy John's - which we also like, by the way. But if you want a Dave's Cosmic Sub, it's a complete experience. The Chagrin Falls store is pure fun and atmosphere, Dave is a genuine human being, and we as customers have been recognized and enjoyed some great conversation with Dave. (A jerk??? I don't think so. A big personality, OK.) A nice guy? for sure. ) He goes out of his way for anyone. We like the sandwiches, we like Dave, we like the shop. Go try it yourselves. Yum. read more

Anytime I'm in Ohio I stop by for a Crazy Dave, its spicy and delicious, though I must say, i miss the old peppers on the sandwich

Excellent sub shop with reasonable prices. I had the Dave's Far Out Chicken and it was one of the best subs I've ever had, and I'm fat so I've had a lot of subs. read more

this is the worst sub eating experience i have ever had in my entire life i ordered the tuna melt with lots of extras through doordash i did not get my extra tuna cucumbers cheeses and the toasted sub roll was too hard the avocado was not ripe and rock hard i decided to give a local concept a shot and it was sh%t read more

I had an 8 inch meatball sub. 3 large meatballs toasted with sauce and cheese. It was sloppy but good. My Boyfriend had a Dave's original 16 inch sub which had pepperoni, salami, and prosciutto along with veggies and Dave's sauce. He enjoyed his sub. With a medium soda the bill came to 19.50$. There are only 3 tables for eating in and no public bathrooms to wash your hands . read more

Wow what a place! I normally don't get excited over sub places, and there are the run of the mill places you can find in any mall with nothing special food such as you get at the large chains. I have come to expect that from sub shops. Prior to going to Dave's my favorite sub place in Cleveland was Grums. When I get back to the Cleveland area if I am going to a sub place I usually go to Grums. Both Dave's and Grums are great however there is no seating in Grums and the location is on Coventry. I was in Chagrin falls and wanted a quick inexpensive lunch so I went into Dave's Cosmic Subs. When you walk in the decor takes you back to the 60's with rock posters everywhere. However that's not why you go there, you go there for the food and I can honestly say it was outstanding. The bread is what makes their subs special and they make their own daily. You also will find sandwiches you won't find on any other menu. I am a vegetarian and there were quite a few selections. Their customer service is outstanding! The people at the counter were friendly and would give you suggestions if you needed it. Next time I am back in the Cleveland area I definitely will be back read more

Best Subs around and under new ownership. Same great subs. New owner is a nice guy, I promise he wont yell at you which should prove refreshing for some. Check them out! read more

mmmm love the garden burger sub. great options for vegetarians and meat eaters. great place for fast casual eating.

Delicious subs! Hot, crispy bread that resembles more of a true baguette than something from a grocery store. I had my first sub from Dave's in 2002, and I can honestly say that the quality is consistent. Anything you get is good. The only thing that could be improved- the kid working the register was clueless. read more

I live in Chicago and visit Cleveland two or three times a year. I used to get a Dave's sub at least once a week when I lived in Cleveland. I always get the same thing: Dave's Far Out Chicken, the #4. The best sandwich made by anyone ever. My mouth is watering thinking about it. I want a Dave's in Chicago! read more

Worst of all Dave's locations...Very slow and your order won't be correct. Such a shame...we love Dave's but we cannot figure out why this location cannot get its act together. read more

From out of town and only been once. The service was great and the atmosphere is cool, if you like psychedelic/rock theme. The ingredients were fresh and bread was ok. The issue I had was the shredded cheese on the sandwiches, very odd. I guess being from New England I'm not use to that! Locals love this place and I'm going to try it again. The spot in Chagrin Falls is small and you probably won't get a seat. However, they have shops all over so I'm sure the other spots a bigger if your with a group. I recommend trying Dave's! read more
