I stumbled upon Dave's when I made a trip to Chagrin Falls to visit another eatery. I ended up getting the Dave's Cordon Bleu and some root beer. The bread was the best part of this sandwich. It was crusty, but not too hard...I don't know if I can adequately describe the bread, but I really loved it. The sandwich itself was good, but there was a bit too much sauce on it. But I would go back and try another sub. read more

That'll teach me to order lobster bisque at a sub place. I was in town this past weekend for a variety of engagements, and wanted to get the superb lobster corn chowder at Lemon Falls. Unfortunately I arrived in town late--a few minutes after 6pm. Lemon Falls closed at 6pm on Saturday. So sucks to be me, but to get some food prior to attending a Norwex party was my objective, so onward soldiering for the chow went me. And cheap. I should add that I was seeking inexpensive food that fateful night. Well, cheap for Chagrin Falls anyway. So to Dave's Subs I went. I usually get the Haight-Ashbury. But something caught my attention Saturday night--a "lobster bisque" advert on the back board. My goodness--lobster bisque at a sub place? Sacre bleu! I figured I'd ask for a slurp to verify its decency before investing. Alas though, I was told no samples. I asked where the bisque was procured. Sorry we can't tell you. All we can say is someone makes it for us. Hmmm. Who could this elusive someone be? It was past six and I wanted to eat and run, so I figured, heck Michelle, let's give it a shot. I wasn't impressed. The bisque was okay certainly. But also certainly nothing to write home about. Won't make this mistake again. Next time I'm at Dave's, it's back to one of the classics that this place does so well. read more

Walked in to a pretty cool atmosphere; I like the Rock/Pop Memorabilia & loud (but conversation-friendly volume) rock music playing. Staff was nice & friendly. Menu easy to read. Told them not to toast my sub, but they did. 2 POINTS: First: Always go back or send it back if it's not right. I didn't, thinking, they'd have to make a whole new sub; Got to remember what I want is the MOST IMPORTANT. Second: Subs are without a doubt, better with soft bread; easier on your mouth, plus the sub ingredients are better contained within the sandwich. The bite pressure on a crispy bun presses the sauces/ ingredients outward, making a messy situation, where a softer, untoasted bun keeps the good stuff where you want - in your sandwich. Good thing for Dave's Cosmic Subs downtown Chagrin Falls is not a dining market in which many chain restaurants are allowed to compete. Every time I've eaten in CF, reflecting on my experiences at a similar-level chain restaurant convinces me to eat somewhere else, then enjoy the river, sunshine, etc. The only positive distinction that could be made in this regard is if the individual, CF restaurants presented exclusively organic ingredients, since most larger dining retailers use Gordon Food Service (preservatives ). MAIN POINT: a Subway in downtown Chagrin Falls would be great; they have specials, a little cheaper, great breakfasts. No rock cool rock music, but that's an ok trade off for a sub that tastes at least as good as Dave's, for less money. One more option for Chagrin Falls Sandwich Diners is the Moroccan buffet, sandwich shop in the park. Awesome sandwiches there. If I had to do it again, I would've purchased a sub to go at the Pepper Pike Subway, taken it to Chagrin Falls read more

I Want My Dave's Cosmic Subs!!! Sounds familiar to "I want my MTV?" Well, it should and will, once you've looked through the peak hole in the wildly, psychedelic painted front door, with its small peak hole, where you first see the face of The Beatles, John Lennon, painted on the side of the Coke cooler. So you open that door, hearing the rhythmic beat of Retro Rock and Roll and you don't know what to do first? You're so hungry, but your eyes travel over the paintings on the ceiling of Rock legends and totally feel you're in The Zone. Now, walk up to that counter and look at the wall of fame! The mouth-watering menu of Dave's Cosmic Subs!!! Whether you like your Sub loaded with meat or your tastes look to simpler pleasures and prefer Vegetarian or Vegan, Dave's Cosmic Subs is here for you! Have a sweet tooth? Dave's Cosmic Subs has that covered too!!! Brownies? They've got 'em!!! Chocolate Chip Cookies??? Yep! They've got those too! You're at your destination, so look no more and you'll soon be saying, "I Want My Dave's Cosmic Sub!" read more

See all

Nice sunrise. We went there for the waterfall and found Dave's. Considering that I had no idea it was here it was great. Had the Sloppy. And it was as advertised. Would defiantly go back if we were in the area. read more

They were charging more than the menu price because "the new sign wasn't in yet". Who reprograms the computer with different prices than what was clearly on the wall. Thefranchise owner seemed irritated when this brought to his attention. read more

WARNING(this could be you):Ordered via phone call. When I arrived on time to pick up my sub, they took 15 different orders before making my subs, after taking my name. It took them over 50 minutes to make my subs after my drive in and after the employees acknowledge that I was waiting in line before the other customers. Didn't think it was that hard to toast bread, meat and cheese; In reasonable amount of time. After getting my food i realized they had rushed and the food tasted cold. I hope all the other customers who got quick hot meals were happy, I certainly wasn't. This isn't what Dave's used to be. Unhappy to admit that I won't be back! read more

Whenever I have out of town guests I always bring them to Dave's Cosmic Subs and it never fails to be an instant hit. They go home and rave about it, and tell others about it. They cannot wait to come back. Except this one time on 4.21.18. Whoever was talking orders at the Chagrin store around 2:30 pm is ruining your brand. She ignored us for a few minutes while taking a phone order, which I totally get and am fine with. Afterwards, she seemed to have other matters to attend to which confused me. There was no one else in line.Then, she seemed to realize we were there and took our order. In the middle of the order, and a whispered conversation with someone in the kitchen, she said "we're out of..." but then stopped and continued her secret conversation with...? I assumed all was well but then when I got home and ate the sandwich, I realized whatever they were "out of" must have been important, because it tasted awful. What the heck? I have her a tip too because I didn't want to be a jerk but she really gave awful customer service and clearly doesn't care about your company. Maybe she'll be a rocket scientist some day but for now your might want to stick her in the back spreading mayo. Thank goodness I didn't bring business colleagues there that day, what an embarrassment that would have been. I get that everyone has an off day but... read more

I used to absolutely love the Dave's peace out steak sandwich.... However since they changed the way it's made using different meat it is horrible. There has been several complaints concerning this change with no resolution on the part of the company.. I miss that sandwich and hope that Dave's consider changing it back to the original peace out steak that was loved by many!! read more

Have been coming here for years. Love the atmosphere. Everyone there is hard working and kind. The sandwiches never disappoint. The bread is always crispy, the meat is fresh cut, the fixings fresh and if course Dave's delicious sauce. My son from New York and daughter and her boyfriend from France, whenever in town, always have Dave's Cosmic Subs as a must eat before returning home. It's a small building but that's part of the charm. read more

Great sub spot for Ohio and is different from all the rest. Their original Daves and meatball are my favorite but so many other great options! read more

A staple of Chagrin Falls, and where every high school kid in the area goes. The subs are excellent- Dave's special sauce makes them so. maybe a little too much cheese, but who cares, take it off. they are GOOD. I make a point to stop by every time I'm in town. read more

My oh my, if I didnt have a yelp account before I would have opened one just to post this review. The star meter above just rocketed up and exploded for this place. I worked in Cleveland last week (I live/work in Columbus but was helping out of town). 1st time in Cleveland, and damnit this is by far the best sub I have ever had. I had the number 8 recommended by daves son who was working, the crazy dave which had Prosciutto, Capicola, peppers and other goodness....toasty bread....it all went together so well and tasted the way a sub should! This has ruined me for all other sub places as they won't live up to what I had here. My only complaint is thers really no seating....two small tables and a small longer table along the wall with one chair because it looks like its more for ads and fliers, luckily I was able to stay because when I take lunch I like to sit and relax. Other then that, Thanks guys for the best sub ive ever had and hope one day you make it to Columbus (one can hope anyway). read more

Absolutely my favorite sub shop of all times. My order is always correct and delicious. Though staffed by what appear to be high school kids, they do a great job. read more

Service is horrible here!!!!! Sad because their subs are pretty darn good.

My husband and I were visiting family in Chargin Falls and much to our surprise we stumbled upon a tie-dye painted store front in this tiny "Americana" town. Being that we live near SF, we were drawn to it like a moth to the light. Dave was pleasant (I'm not sure why others have called him a jerk...) and we chatted about the Bay Area. I ordered the San Fran sub and it was AMAZING. My hubby ordered the Rueben and said it was one of the best he's had. It was interesting to find a little piece of Berkeley in the middle of Cleveland, but was a welcomed find! We'll definitely be back! read more

The sandwiches are great, and the atmosphere is unique (in a good way.) But i asked for my sandwich without horseradish sauce and Dave turned into a total jerk, like he took it personally, anyway the food is great, but if Dave is there don't say the wrong thing... read more

Dave's is amazing! I am a vegetarian and I always get the veg out. It's is so satisfying. My husband is a meat eater and always changes it up. He especially loves the meatball sub. In general, we love Daves-it never disappoints! read more

Always fresh, delicious and filling. Grums in Cleveland Heights had always been my favorite but Dave's has them tied.

Dave's Cosmic Subs is great., ..Dave is a nice guy.... Who ever wrote other wise is a Jerk themselves . You have the best bread and sauce I have ever had.!!!!!!!.I always get the Garden Burger and my kids love the Turkey Dave's .............Keep up the great Job , It's clear that those other 2 posts where done by a jealous competitor , because Dave's beats them all read more

Not sure why people like the subs here. Ive gone a few times thinking it was just that sandwich or experience that was mediocre but each time its the same thing. Even "mediocre" but be giving them too much credit. If you're looking for the taste of a Daves cosmic sub for what they are actually worth go get one of the pre-made ones you can buy in the cooler of a gas station. read more
