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

asked for no cheese as I am dairy free and i open it up to a pile of cheese. 3/4 of the sandwich was lettuce and dressing. maybe 2 pieces of meat. i have tried 5 items on this menu and it sucks. as a sub lover I do disappointed in this place every time. oh also $14 for 6 inches of crap. do not go. go to subway. read more

From Philly and this location surpassed my expectations. I recommend if you're from out-of-town or just have mad munchies.

Hands down my favorite sub shop. Can't go wrong with anything there. My usual go to is the Turkey Dave but if I feel like treating myself, the meatball sub really hits the spot. The staff has always been very friendly, professional and prompt with my order every time I've visited. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out! read more

Unfortunately disappointing :( I will say in the times of COVID, we did not get to experience the facility that everyone says is super cool, but the quality and taste of the food was a bit of a let down...especially since so many people on YELP raved about this place. We ordered two subs: the Original Dave's Cosmic Sub and Dave's Club. The Club was so saturated with Dave's Cosmic sauce (creamy Italian) that the entire sub tasted like I was eating bread with Italian dressing. Maybe, it's best to order it on the side (?). The Cosmic (Italian) actually had very little dressing on it and just tasted like many other Italian subs. There's not much more I can say honestly. This was a venture to a new sub place since there are so many, and we were unfortunately disappointed. I wouldn't deter anyone from trying this place, but it didn't stand up to some of our normal go-tos for subs. read more

Always friendly with great customer service and food! Luv their subs and their fries - like fair fries!!

horrible, steak sandwich was dry, pizza sub was gross even the pickles were nasty coasty for disappointment, never again !

No matter what you choose from Dave's cosmic subs you won't be disappointed!! They are amazing and have friendly and quick service. We typically get the original Dave's cosmic sub and the big Dave. So much food and full of all the flavors you want. This past time we tried the meatball sub and wow delicious!! When we order we get the sauce on the side (get extra :)) and the hot peppers on the side and get the Italian subs cold that way it's nice and fresh after we get home and pop it in the toaster oven for a hot sec. Overall experience each time is amazing and can't wait to try again. We ate so fast forgot to take pictures haha but trust me it's amazing!! read more

Where so I start. Went around 230pm for a late lunch and there was plenty of street parking. Walked inside and was greeted by the staff. There was plenty of choices of sandwiches to choose from. You can also get hot or cold. I got the sub (forgot the name of it but it was delicious) and got it hot. It had such a great crunch to it and the melt cheese was an added plus. My husband got the reuban sandwich also got and that did not disappoint either. Both sandwich was both stuffed with filling. I also got the chili cheese fries and yum it made me crave it again. Will come back again. read more

I was waiting to try Dave's Cosmic Subs since it got to Columbus. Small limited seating, but the subs were fantastic. I got the Original Dave's Cosmic (Italian) Sub and I have it "Hot" and it was excellent with the Dave's Cosmic sauce (creamy Italian), but I will get it on wheat next time. I enjoyed Dirty kettle cooked BBQ chips and had a Diet Coke too. They also do catering to business with white, wheat, and gluten free bread. It is a rock and roll atmosphere with paying tribute to Belkin Productions on their wall. The staff was very friendly too and gave me another pickle because I dropped it on the floor. The pickle is a surprise in the sub area, not inside. I will go back to Dave's Cosmic Subs and would love to few more locations in Columbus with a parking lot. read more

My husband and I decided to stop in while traveling around the area. We had once planned to try it up in Oberlin but our plans fell through, so I was pumped when I saw they opened a location in Columbus! There is a LOT to choose from. I ended up getting a club. Very tasty. Sub was toasted. It comes wrapped ip with a pickle. The pickle is very fresh, I wished it had more dill flavor. The cosmic sauce on the subs is amazing. Honestly I'd put it on everything! And definitely add the Cajun fries with your sandwich. The perfect spice and flavor. The food might be a little more expensive than some other sub sandwich companies, but you are definitely getting better flavor and fresher tasting food. My husband got an Italian and his only complaint was he should have asked for it warned, we just weren't aware that was an option at the time. We'll be back! read more

Great customer service and fries for 2! Delicious turkey sandwich! Love the classic rock theme and music, nice vibe. We were in town visiting and will certainly be back. read more

Service was good, was not impressed with the food by any means. I would not recommend it to a friend.

I was not very impressed, the meat seemed very processed and the sub overall just wasn't very good.

The subs are good, the vibes are good, the pop is good. We caught it on a slow day. The workers were super welcoming and cracking jokes with us. My girlfriend is a vegetarian and she approves of their veggie options. Plan on returning! read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - root beer, Dave's Veg Out Sub, The Tuna Dave Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place is a hidden gem; I stumbled upon it one time when I was coming home from class one day. I was really hungry and ever since then I swear to god I come here like twice a week. I would honestly be skinny if it wasn't for Dave's Cosmic Subs but I can't help it they're just too good read more

Italian is great. I really liked whatever dressing/sauce they put on it. Their bread is like crunchy/hard on the outside, but soft on the inside. I loved it. I ordered delivery. Sub wasn't hot when I got it but I'd love to give this place another go and do pick up or dine in. They had a HUGE menu, which is awesome. Definitely not healthy, but I enjoyed this place a lot. Everyone needs a greasy sub every once in awhile. read more

A pretty mediocre sandwich place that is overrated due to its location. Sandwiches are affordable but nothing special. Fries are pretty greasy and soggy by the time you have it taken out and open at your house. Maybe I tried the wrong thing on the menu but I was not blown away by their Italian sub. read more

I ordered Dave's for a large group of groomsmen getting ready at a downtown hotel this weekend, after we realized at the last minute that a certain sub place with "freaky fast" delivery doesn't deliver in downtown Columbus on weekends. They got the large varied order completely correct, the subs were great, and they got to us in under 40 minutes. Thanks for coming through Dave's! read more

Ordered my food and was expecting a bit of a wait- went to check on the order and they had not even made it and didn't even know I had ordered after 30 minutes. Very disappointed. Usual I have a great time at Dave's but this was ridiculous I had to leave with no food to be able to get to my class on time. Do better. read more

Yum!!! Theres a new sub shop in town. DAVE'S Cosmic Subs did not disappoint. Everything was so fresh and that special sauce is no joke. I had never had Dave's before. They have other locations in Ohio but this was my 1st take. When I walked in I got a great welcome. One of the employees came out and helped me run through the menu. They were extremely friendly and great at letting me know what I might like. I went with the original. It's a traditional Italian but it tastes a lot better than any other I've had. They have tons of options, and you can chose hot or cold. They have some signature sodas and a few desserts. Theres also fries. They were doing a chili cheese feature while I was there. They looked delicious, I'll definitely order next time I'm in. Overall this place is absolutely delicious and as long as the staff stays friendly I think they'll do great on campus! Welcome to OSU Dave's Cosmic Subs! read more

Had the Original and I am a fan! The bread is out of this world, (trying to be funny). Good meats and the sauce was tasty. Quick and nice looking place inside. read more

Good party trays. Tried to order a couple of days in advance for a party and they asked me to call back on the day i needed it.

i recently went here for the first time despite how often i pass it and i was really surprised!! the inside is very cool and clean and the staff is super nice. but above that the sandwiches are great! i got a #4 because i like spicy things and it delivered a good amount of heat and was still so yummy. the bread is very crispy and the brownies are also delightful! i think this place might become a regular sandwich spot for me! read more

the dictionary definition of meatball sub is defined as "The meatball sandwich is a common sandwich that is a part of several cuisines, including Italian-American cuisine and American cuisine." but what this definition missing is that Dave's cosmic subs has perfected this meaty cuisine. The day was Aug 18th 2023 I recall the weather being particularly fair that warm summer day. Me and two friends were needing to prepare our bodies for a night of revelry and decided Dave's cosmic subs would be the place to do it. It took mere moments to decide what we would be consuming but we made the decision making progress last for what we thought hours long. The lady at the register asked us one by one what we were ordering today and one by one we all said "meatball sub". The service was impeccable and all of us were waiting mouths watering for the delectable treat. Finally the waiting was over and we all began to dig in I cannot put this feeling of bliss into words but just know Dave's cosmic subs must Have the most premier sauces and meats and the most culinary experienced chefs in the sandwhich making business. After the best meal of my life me and my associates left the building walking past the numerous strangers who had no idea what we just experienced. Dave I will be coming for you. read more

The sub was alright. Just a couple of things, first not all the subs are hot. Wish their signage indicated which were hot and which were not, so when I asked for my sub to be warned up they inadvertantly over cooked the bread because the bread had been toasted, just not the sub. They should also indicate which subs come with "Dave's special sauce" and say what that sauce is, so then when they don't tell you and you ask them to remake the sub they expect you to pay for the remake. Little place, not a big chain but remakes are something you have to deal with when you don't provide all the information. The music is too loud if you're dining in, probably why we were dining alone. The best thing I can say about our experience was they don't skimp on the meat or the fries, and I still feel like we paid too much. read more

Amazing subs at a decent price. Customer service is great and they keep the line moving quick

The young lady who took my order was very helpful. This was my first visit and to her advice on the Italian, hot. Want to go back for certain. read more

Meatball sub was great and the price was fair for the size of the sub. Fries seemed to be priced high but the portion was generous! Reminds me of the fries at Five Guys. It's kind of a smaller space so you might have to get takeout since there's only like 4 tables inside. read more

My first time at Dave's and it is now my fav sub shop! Had the Big Dave,plenty of meat,good veggies and the sauce is wonderful. I'll be back to try more subs. Guy at the register was friendly also. read more

I wanted a sandwich and had their garden veggie burger for 8.99. It was good but felt it was overcharged. Didn't get that much for my money.

I literally never leave a bad review endless it's lasting. But wow what a horrible establishment. I paid 8.49$ for a sandwich and asked for no veggies. They charged me full price for 1/3 of a sandwich..the sandwich was less than a 6 in from subway for Almost 9 dollars. When I called back and called to Chris he started harassing me because I didn't want veggies? I'm sorry why does youre opinion on my taste in food matter when I feel Ive been ripped off? I liked Dave's before this experience and will NEVER return. I will be pushing a charge back through since the employee wanted to give me absolutely no help whatsoever. Save your money and go to a mom and pop shop who actually care about what they do. Also Chris ,I've been to many Dave's subs shops and never got this ripped off nor have I dealt with such an attitude.I called back to talk to the owner and was met with even more of an attitude. I have allergies that change per season and didn't want to risk a flare up ,but that apperantly wasn't cool to our buddy Chris here. He then proceeded to insult my fiance and told he r not order food for me again? What a joke man. Thanks for ruining Dave's for me. read more

Love love love ......will definitely be back! Called to place an order the staff was amazing and informative, picked up the order and that was an easy delightful experience! Got home and the food was everything I imagined read more

Ordered it via Uber Eats. Soo yummy. The bread is crusty on the outside & soft and the inside. Loved the veggie options - finally a sandwich place with more than just onions, lettuce and tomato for vegetarians! They don't skimp on the meats and their pricing is on the low side for the quality and quantity. Will def be ordering from here often! read more

Don't get me wrong--I love the subs at Dave's and was thrilled they opened in Columbus--but they must have hired all new people in the months since they opened and yelpers first wrote reviews because they are SO. SLOW. I go there for lunch at least once a week and it takes forever. Wish they had better seating, too. Four 4-top tables are not adequate. Most of the time there are only 4 people eating in the restaurant, but because of the way it's set up, there's nowhere to sit unless you want to ask a stranger to share their unnecessarily large table. If you work at OSU and are looking to get out of the office for lunch, plan on maybe having to get your sub to go and eating at your desk or the union because there's nowhere to sit. Also plan on spending a good 20 minutes waiting for your sub to be made. read more

Basic subs are small for $7.00 but the quality is unsurpassed. Upsize to the $10 offering. DELICIOUS! Clean and friendly place. Give it a try. read more

Best subs around! Put subway/firehouse and jimmys Johns to shame. So so good 10/5 starts

I promise you it's the best sub place you'll ever have!!! Dave's has the most unique sub flavor that I've ever experienced. The service can take a little longer than most sub places but it is well worth the wait! I would be aware that the high street location has limited seating but the Ohio Union across the street typically has plenty of open seating. If you like subs do yourself a favor and try Daves. It's a reasonable price for a ton of flavor and I cannot wait to come back! read more

The sandwiches themselves are alright (the bread is the best part). The service is not great as the workers are untrained and unprofessional and somewhat rude. read more

This is the best sub place I've ever visited. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly- quick. I ordered a cold sub and it came out within less than a minute. Name a place with better service than that? It's impossible. Not to mention, I took one bite of this sub and understood what "cosmic" meant. The. sauce. on. these. subs. is. ~magical~. You will not regret stopping into this groovy joint for a delicious bite to eat, whether you go to OSU or are visiting campus. Also--the theme and music are so fun! I can't say enough about this place, they just made it such a good experience for me. Thanks Dave's on High :) read more
