Dave's Cosmic %hit Subs... Where do you want me to start? We're in town for the CBUS Blue Jackets and Door Dashed this bull %hit to our ABnB. To start, we ordered at 6:27, our Door Dasher picked up the food at 6:36, but it wasn't delivered until 8:57... Completely unacceptable. Granted the extremely late delivery wasn't the restaurant's fault (necessarily)... However, because they use Door Dash for delivery, they're ultimately responsible by proxy. Add in that the delivery driver spoke no English, tried to kick our English Staffy who ran out whilst smiling to say "hi" (if you know anything about Staffy's, you know they love people and don't have a mean bone in their body), our food was cold because it was delivered 1.5 hours late, and I was about to lose my flipping mind. Now onto the food... These were quite honestly some of the worst subs we've ever had. Subway is miles ahead of this hot garbage, and it's not remotely close. The food was $50 for two puny half filled subs, inedible coleslaw (absolutely disgusting), a pickle, and a GF cookie (that was not delivered). Now onto the really bad part... Within 30 minutes of eating this trash, both my wife and I had to run for the toilet (I'll leave it at that). Bottom line... Screw this place. PS - If I ever run into Cosmic Dave, he's going to get a piece of my mind for charging people $ for this crap. read more

My inaugural experience with Dave's was through DoorDash, and as someone who is both gluten-free AND enjoys ordering subs via delivery, I'm fairly used to crumbly, wet bread with but a memory of once being toasted. On that note, Dave's Cosmic Subs was a pleasant surprise. I found their gluten free bread superior to that of Jersey Mikes and their toppings reminiscent of an actual deli rather than a Walmart aisle. For all that a DoorDash-ordered, toasted sub on gluten free bread has going against it, this hit the mark. read more

Tried The Grateful Dave (turkey with alfalfa sprouts and avocado) and The Original Dave (Italian sub). Worth the stop! Their Dave's sauce is interesting - very vinegar forward but it works. I really liked it! Employee was super hospitable and made sure we were satisfied with our order. I would recommend trying it out if you haven't. read more

Always a delicious meal with incredibly generous portion sizes. A great local business!

Tried the buffalo chicken, Italian and the pasta salad for delivery. I'll be honest, the sammies were ok but not my favorite sub sandwiches that I've had. I have been waiting for a bit to try this spot and when I finally did I wasn't blown away. They were tasty but nothing incredibly special. There wasn't anything specific that I can point to as far as the order being subpar, it just really wasn't anything to write home about for me. I wouldn't discourage anyone from ordering from here, but I'm not sure that I'll do so again. read more

Worth braving the craziness of campus for a sub! This was my first visit so I went with the popular #1 Original, served hot (their version of an Italian). It was delicious! Great sauce, flavors, and bread--I will be back! read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - #1 Original - Sandwiches Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

The food was good, the service was fast , and the environment was good too overall 10/10 I do recommend .

This is one of the worst sandwiches I've ever had from a sandwich restaurant. It was dry (even with the side of sauce), stale, and had ingredients that did not look or taste fresh. I am very forgiving with fast food and most restaurants, but I could not finish this sandwich which says a lot. read more

Dave's cosmos subs started in Chagrin Falls, a suburb of Cleveland. Now it's a franchise and has locations all over Ohio but also some unexpected states like CA and VT. The Columbus location is on High St, right on Ohio State's campus. I can see why they expanded so quickly... the subs are delicious with sooo many protein options, and also offers flexibility if you have dietary restrictions like subbing in gluten free bread and lettuce wraps. I can't choose between these two subs -- the peace steak and the sloppy daves. Did splitsys with the husband and loved both. My biggest regret is not buying a bottle of cosmic sauce but will next time!! read more

I had the opportunity to grab sub today. However I didn't have the most pleasant experience like the guest before me. I wasn't greeted in the same happy and helpful manner as the guest before me. I felt uncomfortable to say the least. read more

This is your prototypical college deli shop. There is tons of cool, throwback decor on the walls and they definitely have some hippie vibes -- from the logo to the colors. The menu style reminds me of an old walk up shop. I tried #4, titled "Dave's Far Out Chicken" which is a toasted sandwich of chicken, cheese, onions, hot peppers, hot sauce and Dave's cosmic sauce. The cosmic sauce is an Italian based dressing. The sandwich was good, but nothing super special. The bread was over toasted and way too crunchy that it took away from the sandwich. Overall, cool spot, but the sandwich was a bit of a disappointment. read more

Kept hearing about this place, never made it over since it's a bit out of my way. But a friend from up north suggested it, and with the kids mostly gone for summer we checked it out. Big menu board. Pretty much any kind of sub you might want. We all got different things, and everyone's was good. I got a meatball since it got such good reviews, and a Super Dave (pastrami, corned beef, etc.) Both were excellent. Great bread. Tasty, tender meat on the one, perfect meatballs on the other. Great sauces and veggies. And they have their own root beer (I'm a root beer nerd.) Assorted pop, er, soda, flavors, actually. Contract brewed so pretty generic, but good enough. I'm glad we went and will be back. Super service, great food. Maybe a little expensive, but well worth it. read more

This place is great. Posters from concerts line the walls and the vibe is what you want from a college town sub shop. Food is fresh made for you and the chips are right at the counter to choose from. Once you order you can get your drinks and refills. Service is with a smile. Place your order in advance for take out or just eat it there. read more

I used to love this place. Went to other locations probably 100 times in my life. However, this place is going downhill fast. No longer include a pickle spear w their subs. Seriously???? read more

Location: N High Street, Columbus Ohio Website: https://www.davescosmicsubs.com/ Menu: see website Hours: see website Parking: street parking, paid and paid parking lots within 1-2 blocks Service: excellent Thrilled to try this (new to me) location of the best sub shop in Ohio. Dave's Cosmic Subs succeeds with this storefront in the heart of OSU campus, creating the most amazing sandwiches anywhere. The only shift here is all sandwiches are available in one size. Don't fret - the sandwich is an 8" sandwich, very substantial and a great meal whether you are vegetarian, eat only chicken, want a hot sub, or the best cold sandwich you may ever have. I trialed my favorite sandwich - the #1, 'the original': Pepperoni, Genoa Salami, Prosciutto, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Sliced Banana Peppers, Onions, Fresh Garlic, Herbs, Provolone Cheese, smothered with Dave's Cosmic Sauce. Outstanding. I will admit I prefer it cold. Your call. You are welcome. The best sandwich you can buy for under $10. This beauty is $7.99. Magical. Can't make it there? Delivery via DoorDash or Uber Eats available. read more

Tried the original Italian sub and fries. The sub was good but it was a little too vinegary for my liking. I actually enjoyed it much more the next morning heated up.

Decided to stop into Dave's Cosmic subs today on N High Street! One of my old coworkers from a prior job is one of the owners of the location so I decided to stop in and support their business! I decided on the #29 Dave's Peace Steak, and let me tell you...it was delicious!:) Very good flavor combinations, perfect temperature, 11/10! Happy I stopped in and will be back soon to try a different sub! read more

First time to Dave's and I really enjoyed it! We got our subs to go and the service was top notch. Super friendly folks and great soundtrack playing. Menu is pretty big! Got a San Fran (turkey, slaw, hot sauce and a bunch of other good things) on very good bread. I was too hungry to snap a photo of the sub (oops) but I got some photos of the walls which I loved! The only thing I was lukewarm on were the pickles. Not my jam. Not bad, but not the best I've ever had. Overall and I'm happily looking forward to trying other subs on the menu! read more

Besides pizza, donuts, hotdogs, cookies, and fries, I love a good meatball sub. I have had some pretty decent ones around the city, but this one, by far, really blew me away. I ventured down to the campus area just to take a walk around with the 3-year-old and decided to check out Dave's Cosmic Subs. I decided to get the meatball sub. Let me just say this thing was freaking amazing. I was so upset at the fact that nobody ever told me about this place. I wished I knew about this spot long before now. The meatball sub that they have here have a lot of things going on. The cheeses, the garlic, the marinara sauce, this special Dave Cosmic Sauce that they put on it, everything made for an incredible combination of flavors. The tenderness of the meatballs was out of this world. read more

It was one of those days that I just NEEDED a good Italian sub. After a peruse on Yelp I realized that Dave's is now on OSU campus. I haven't had it in a long time but figured it would still be pretty good. Just an FYI- parking around OSU campus is a real challenge. You may be lucky and get a spot on high st. or you may have to park far away. I am glad that I took the challenge and got a sub. First off the shop is cute, I liked the design and they had Bob Ross painting videos on. The person helping me was super friendly and offered some suggestions on the sub. I went with the Big Dave and the Original Dave as well as an order of fries. We shared the two subs between 3 people and were definitely satisfied. We got the dressing on the side and it was absolutely amazing. I would have that dressing with everything. The subs were great, quality bread and meat. I enjoyed the Big Dave more but the original was tasty. The fries did not travel very well and if you heat them up they get too dry/crispy. I wouldn't get them unless I was eating right away. I will absolutely be back for more, they have some of the best subs in Columbus. read more

I visited this sandwich shop for lunch today and it was amazing. The staff was super friendly, and the shop was very clean. I ordered the corn beef sandwich (added Swiss and mustard) it's tasty, but the pickle is not good (sadly), and it almost hit the floor when I open the sandwich. In hindsight, I should have let it fall. I will be returning, but not for pickles. read more

This place was pretty solid. My wife and I got the Italian sub and we liked it. We didn't get it to eat as soon as possible, but to reheat at a later time. We will definitely be back to try again. We seen they had fries, but we can't reheat fries so we passed for next time. The menu is pretty packed so you'll have plenty to choose from. read more

I came to CBus for a conference and researched nearby places to eat beforehand, for whatever reason this place didn't pop up. BUT I spied it from across the street and knew I had to try it - tiny college places are my jam (Bagel and Deli by Miami is another fav of mine). I am overjoyed I tried it. The cosmic sauce is a creamy Italian dressing and it's incredible - they have it for sale in bottles and I had to buy two. The sun itself was great bc it had a nice amount of meat on it and the bread was great (much bigger than Penn Station) and most importantly, the meats and cheese were warm and the lettuce and tomato were left cold (who wants warm lettuce - NOT me). And did I mention the sauce?! Additionally, they sell Zapps chips which are also fantastic. I felt service was on par with a made to order type place but could see it getting backed up if it was packed. Plus they were friendly as all get out. I didn't get a cookie but man did I want to - they're big and look super fresh. I hope this place keeps making students and visitors happy for decades to come. read more

Dave's is a new sub joint on High Street that serves up a large variety of fresh subs. Their restaurant is small, but comfortable, with plenty of music-inspired memorabilia decorating the walls. I ordered the San Fran sub, which consisted of turkey and Capicola, topped with vegetables and coleslaw and drenched with Dave's sauce. The meat was decent and the homemade Italian bread was really excellent: crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce was peppery and vineagry, but not overpowering on the acidity. The sub was served with cheddar cheese, which wasn't really in line with its Italian inspiration, but nothing's perfect. The prices were moderate and service was fast and friendly. read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - Dave's San Fran sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I've ordered here a couple times now - once on Grubhub and now once in person - and I personally think it's a unique experience but not quite worth ordering delivery. The subs are good but not great, but the restaurant itself makes me want to revisit. Although this is a franchise, the personality of the interior makes it feel like a smaller business. It's brightly colored with music decor all around and has a variety of seating options. My experience with service was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive to my questions but pretty slow both times. The menu is vast, including multiple vegetarian options. I've tried a tuna sub (can't remember which one), the Crazy Dave Sub, and Dave's Peace Steak Sub. I would recommend all but the last one; maybe it was just my sub, but it was packed with meat with too little topping and sauce, and the meat itself wasn't seasoned, only the top. It was also cut so finely that it was very soft and textured, in a way that I didn't like personally. The famous Cosmic Sauce is good, sort of like a thin ranch sauce but you'd have to try it yourself to understand the flavor. The bread is also always fresh and toasted to perfection. Overall, I'd recommend a dine-in experience for some unique subs and decor, but not if you're wanting something quick. read more

Ok... like I know it's brand new and I even waited a little while to write my review to see how I felt about it.. This is probably the most flavorful sub I've have ever truly had. The bread is really high quality and it's just so damn good. The Cajun fries?? Totally worth getting.. probably the regular fries as well. You get a great amount and they are sooo good. It's not just a "sub shop". You really should try it if you're by campus. It is far superior to dibella and of course subway and Jimmy Johns... and the price is extremely comparable. So. Good! Oh, and it's interesting. You won't enter another sub shop that looks like this one and vibes like this one. Yum! I have a new shop to go to when I am craving it! read more

These are the type of sandwiches that make you sit and think about how great whatever you're chewing is.

So my friends and I try to eat one meatball sub after a night out drinking before we start drinking again. This meatball sub has to be the best meatball sub ever. I was getting flashbacks to my childhood in every bite. I've had many meatball subs in my day, but this sub has changed the game for me. When we walked in the woman greeted us fairly. We already knew what we were gonna get but we wanted to act like we we're looking at the menu anyways. She let us browse for a bit and we then decided to dive in. We ordered 3 small meatballs subs one at a time. The service took about 12 minutes and 38 seconds but 8 minutes and 16 seconds to eat . (I was really hungry) we then walked out onto high street knowing we had just tackled what was The Dave's Cosmic Subs meatball sub. We went onto have the best night of our lives. Nobody knew what we had just done but we were happy. read more
