Grease and salt overload. I love good cheesesteak but this one is gross. You have in this area much better choices. Jimmy Johns is great. Melt is tasty Even Denny's is better I rarely am picky but even with mayo I threw this garbage away. Avoid! read more

I'm sorry, but I was not impressed with DiBella's subs. Yes it is beautiful inside, yes the staff is very nice and very attentive. When you are a sub shop and your subs really aren't all that great, you have a problem. I mean, you walk in and someone grabs you right away and gets your order. They go through this big process with like 50 people behind the counter all grilling and making subs, and you pay and stand on the side. Someone finally walks out with your sub like a nurse bringing you your newborn child. So you gently unwrap this sub, take a big bite, and you get a mouth full of disappointment. Look, I might be harsh with this review, but when you talk big you'd better back it up. This was definitely not the "best sub I ever had" and I even didn't enjoy the bread. It's still a great place, but for my money I will go elsewhere for subs. Taste buds are funny things, and mine just didn't enjoy this place. read more

What can I say, I am a sucker for a place that has the option of Everything bread! With that being said I absolutely love the subs here. My favorite is the Philly Cheesesteak on of course everything bread. The Dagwood and Godfather are also delicious. Sure it's a little pricier than other places but their subs taste a whole lot better than other places! The only unfortunate part is that there are only 2 locations near the Cleveland area (womp womp). read more

HUGE sandwiches! This place is pretty busy on a weekday for lunch. It sits in between Melt and Panera as a middle-of-the-road option when you're not looking to pig out (ahem, Melt) and Panera seems too boring. The meat seemed fresh and the sandwiches were perfectly fine, but I didn't think it was anything amazing. I did try both their white chocolate macadamia nut cookie as well as the chocolate chip cookie, and was pretty impressed with both. read more

The veggie sub here is better than most and a better value. You have three bread options and choice of many fresh veggies. You can also get hot sauce instead of oil to keep it oil-free. Service is fast and friendly. read more

So...for a sandwich place the food is good. But this place is horribly inefficient. Here is why: food takes a while to prepare. Combine that with, when you go to pay, they ask you what you ordered. Really? Next time just to be a smart ass I am going to tell the cashier I ordered a kid's water, no ice. I wish they would find a way to be more efficient and track their orders better. If Potbelly, Jimmy John's and Subway can do it, so can Di Bella's... read more

I came here for lunch at about 1:30. Very friendly staff and had very good patience with my huge order. They acted in a way as if "it always happens" and done a very good job. The manager Eric was very nice to myself and the customer's behind me. Definetely coming here more often ! read more

waited 45 min online for food and another 45 at the place. they had no idea what they were doing.

The only problem I have is that the customer is over-charged for the sandwich. The bread is great and everything else that goes on the sandwich. But there is NOT enough meat on the sandwich. No WAy NEAR enough meat for the price of the sub. Yes u can pay more for extra meat, but you should not have to. Bread to meat ratio is ridiculous. When you have to look for the meat on your sub that cost almost $10. then there is a problem. You decide... I did. I agree with other posters... THEY SKIMP! read more

Ok this is my second time back here and I can easily say that this place has one of the best Subs. I recommend the spicy chicken if u like your sub juicy with a little bit of heat. read more

By all means your lucky you got That! Was so hungry for the godfather sandwich which is my all time fave. So I brag to my buddy what a great place this is,,boy was he let down I ordered the godfather like I have so many times and my buddy a Philly cheesesteak.also a couple salads..i said to the young lady cashing us out is that our order ( she was in la la land)she said no,that lady is wrapping yours up now she hand is the bag an we took the 20 min.ride home.we get back to my place and as sure as God made green apples it happens. Our order is jacked up! my sandwich was a turkeyclub with so much mustard on it it looked like it was bleeding profusely and my buddy with the Philly chs.stk was so greasy that you could have wrung it out. Disgusting! When I called about my order the mgr.kept calling me hun and sweety.nothing worse then being upset ANd someone old enough to be your daughter is disrespectfully calling you hun and sweety! I asked if they can just make me another tomorrow and she said no its policy. If you can't come that day ,we have to mail you a coupon..just one day? Is that asking to Much? I hate coupons! Well I'll take my 30 min trip to the one in solon,. At least they are respectful and always have my order right..but I will say the African American guy was awsome and efficient and had class . You saved it with two stars ! Won't go back.....ever read more

Amazing food, TERRIBLE service. I've gone to multiple locations and understand that it takes a little longer to grill and/or bake the subs but I've waited as long as 25 minutes at this one. I've tried calling ahead but this doesn't help much because I'm usually put on hold and the order is often wrong on pickup (if it's ready at all). I don't understand why they don't have online ordering yet. read more

Great sub place. The godfather on the everything bread is my go to sub. The others sound really good as well but have not ventured out. I just enjoy the godfather too much. They need more sub shops in northeast Ohio like Dibellas. Great service, fresh ingredients, and large sandwiches. read more

Food is great... All Dibellas are. The service at this particular one is horrible, however. Everyone mills around like they have no idea and it takes forever to get your food. Every single time. read more

It's good but not good for you. You get certain ones packed w various meats and while they taste great you realize you just ate a salt lick when you are really thirsty hours later. The portions are large though. I haven't had anything bad here. And surprisingly their cookies are insanely good. The only issue I've run into is the service, waited a while after they took my order and forgot to place it. Knew something was wrong when 5 people after me had theirs first. They obviously then made it and mistakes happen but it is slightly rude not to offer even a complimentary pop or such that cost you all of 12 cents as a business. Also, I don't like philly anything so while people enjoy those a lot here I've had them and well I still don't like phillys. I can't call it bad resulting as it is probably what you are looking for then if you like that kind of sandwich haha read more

This place is a great lunch option. The bread is the reason I come. Love the steak sandwich on everything bread. The meatball is also very good. Prices are fair. My vegetarian coworker got a veggie sub that was loaded with cheese and roasted vegetables. She loved it. I def recommend. read more

Very underrated!! I love DiBella's.. only thing is that it's not consistent and doesn't always taste the same. The everything bread sometimes barely has any seasoning on it. read more

Good subs with a generous portion of meats. The sandwiches are huge no matter which size you choose. The Italian bread is good; make sure to get the oil dressing. Way better than Sub-par Way. read more

Amazing subs!!! Get the small unless you have a huge appetite. They are very large. Another option is to share a large with someone. Trust me...you won't go hungry. The meats and cheeses are top quality. And the special oil sauce is a must! read more

Spend your $10 and 1000 calories elsewhere. Subs are boring and service is questionable, even for counter service.

Delicious subs and very friendly staff! I am in here once a week at least and would suggest the meatball, godfather, or Philly subs. This place is clean, efficient, and staff is always smiling and pleasant. Please keep up the great work. read more

I was in Independence for a job fair as I'm moving back to Cleveland soon, and after I was finished about 1 PM I was totally famished and in the mood for a nice lunch. I checked Yelp and saw that DiBella's had good reviews and was just down the road so I gave it a try. That was a great idea! There was virtually no wait and I ordered a medium Godfather. After I saw it being made, I was worried that it was going to be too much to handle because it was huge. The large looks like it's made with a whole loaf of bread. It made a subway sub look like a hot dog by comparison. The bread was fresh made and it had plenty of genoa salami, capicolla and spicy ham. It was the best sub I've had since I was in the Navy in Newport RI where the "grinders" are the real deal. The sandwich was so good I killed it! I can't wait to go there again the next time I'm in the area. read more

All I can say is ok, something is missing in each and everything I looked at ordering. The bread was just alright I had the everything. The corned beef was ok, the Swiss cheese was strong and over all it would have been better with cole slaw or sauerkraut but neither was offered. Hoping for better, pretty much your average chain sub shop read more

This place is amazing!!! Meatball sub, mozzarella and marinara... Add sweet pepper and onion... This rocks! Too bad they don't serve beer

Great subs, but takes a little bit long to prepare. Maybe speed up the process a little bit or train the employees better? Regardless Im alwsys happy eating here and I'll be back!! read more

"Best sub you ever had" is printed on the wrapper and wow they were not kidding! The first time I tried their subs was at a lunch meeting we had at work a few weeks ago. They won me over from that 1 quarter of a sub and giant 1/2 pickle. Stopped by tonight after work and was thrilled that there was no line. We got a cheesesteak sub on everything bread and a roastbeef sub on everything bread plus 1 whole pickle to split. The bread is so fresh even for 6:30pm. We ordered 2 small sandwiches and split between us. I think I really enjoyed the cheesesteak a little bit more, but maybe because it was warm and juicy on such a cold CLE night. The price was beyond fair considering we are both completely full. I cannot imagine eating a large sub in one sitting. Staff was super friendly! So glad we had that meeting and discovered this place! We will definitely be here more often! read more

Clean Restaurant! Nice staff! Great food! Very Reasonably priced! Staff was friendly, but they run through the options so fast, it was a little hard to follow! But the girls working were in a great mood and very patient with me, Thanks Ladies!!! read more

First time @ dibella's and was it a good one! Got the large dibella's cheesesteak wow! The bread is way better than anticipated. Puts subway, jimmy johns, Quiznos and penn station all to shame! The meat was plentiful and complemented with a fair amount of condiments. If I had a complaint it would be there isn't a location in Akron. Only a 20 min drive from my job so will be back...probably as soon as tomorrow! read more

Terrible customer service. Drove 15 minutes after ordering pick up to be told they "discontinued" their roast beef. Not only is that not true, but you could have called!!! read more

Aesthetically, DiBella's harkens back to a bygone era. One that is, as you might expect, totally idealized. The walls are all adorned with drawings of smiling sandwich artists of yesteryear. Clad in clean white smocks and caps, and passing their handiwork rolled in white butcher's paper to chaste coeds in tartan and knee socks, these men look like they wandered out of a Norman Rockwell painting, or a sleepy town in a Stephen King novel before the ghouls come slithering out of the sewer grates. Nostalgia like this is a tricky thing for a restaurant to pull off. Oftentimes, it makes our teeth ache, or our eyes involuntarily fling back in our sockets like gems in a polisher gone haywire. DiBella's manages to strike a balance, however. Their romanticized photos (here's a Ward Cleaver facsimile slipping in with a bag of subs as Mom, Junior, Little Sis, and Scraps arrive to welcome him!), their tile flooring, their kind and cheerful staff all match up pretty well. Sure, the gigantic subs for sale might feed the Cleavers for a week, but it's important to keep up with modern go-for-bloat appetites, one supposes. And gee, are these suckers ever tasty. And easy on the pocketbook, to boot! Laden with half a garden of veggies on a seeded sub roll, a build your own sans meat is a mere $6.75. Vegetarians would do well to get a Classic, as grilling all the soft stuff like tomatoes and cukes leaves the finished product a tad on the squishy side. Go to DiBella's soon as you can for luncheon or Sunday supper. Shut off your Cheever brain at the door, and prepare for a nostalgic overload twinned with a familiar sense of 21st century gustatory indulgence. read more

I went to DeBella's for the first time today. It took a while to get my sub but once I did I was happy! It was a was a darn good sandwich! I'll go back again soon! read more

I ordered 3 sandwiches for takeout today through Yelp/Grub Hub. All 3 sandwiches were made incorrectly. It took me 5 minutes to fill out the order on my phone, because you have to specify everything on each sandwich, so was very disappointed to get incorrectly made sandwiches. Not just being nit picky, I mean one was not even the correct meat, the double meat we ordered was the wrong sandwich and the bun was wrong on the other. Unfortunately, didn't have any time left on lunch break to go back to exchange them and complain. It's a shame, because what they gave us wasn't too bad. If I ever go back I will only order from the store so I can see my sandwich getting made correctly. read more

Great location, classic decor, wonderful home made sub rolls. The meats should be much better at these prices. The roast beef in the french dip was overly processed and nearly impossible to chew. The "100% ALL WHITE Albacore tuna" resulted in serious indigestion for two in our party. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE these subs! Godfather is amazing on Everything bread! PLEASE open a location in the North-West Cleveland area!!! :) :) read more

So, after further consideration I've downgraded my rating. Great subs....still. But, it seems as if they try to make paying as difficult as possible. I've gone there several times in the past two weeks and it has taken between 5 and 8 minutes just to pay....this is after you wait 5, 10 or more minutes before you get your sub. Not sure what the problem is. All I know is that, I have a limited time for lunch and don't want to spend much time standing in line. My fellow diners agreed. Needless to say, I can go across the street (potbelly subs), down the street (gourmonds), or up the street (heavenly ham) for a sub, without the wait. read more

I went there thinking it was good...and the prices are very high for their product. Spent a lot of money on a to go order and I didn't have much in my sandwich. The chicken hardly covered the sandwich. Not much was put on in sauce or toppings. All I tasted was bread. read more

Love this place. Been here many times. Me and my husband had tried several subs and all were great. I couldn't believe how huge the sandwiches were any size! Very much worth the money and I have recommend this place to everyone I know! read more

Hands down, this sub shop, though a chain, puts its competition (Jimmy John's) to shame. Huge sandwiches for the money. I ordered the Small Dagwood and it was packed with meat and looked a good 8 inches long. I like Jimmy John's also, but their small, skinny sandwiches are a lousy value in comparison at the same (or even higher) price. I am amazed JJ's is packed while this place was almost empty--I guess that is the power of JJ's marketing! I also liked the fact that because the subs take a bit of time to make (mine was grilled), you get a number and a server will bring it out to you. I will be back. read more

At my job, I am responsible at times for ordering food for various events. For the last event I coordinated I called multiple sub places for a catering order to include Dave's Cosmic subs and Jimmy Johns but they either didn't deliver to my area or in the case of Jimmy Johns just seemed completely ignorant that I didn't feel comfortable placing my order there. I also like Brennan's Catering in Cleveland but find them to be a tad pricey. So I called Dibella's as I had in the past and they are awesome. They quickly helped me estimate how much food I needed and made the whole order process quick and easy. I even called them the day of to add to my order and it was no problem. They are very professional and knowledgeable and by now are familiar with my company. The food arrived 15 minutes early and the delivery person helped us set up. He was really friendly. We ordered a variety of subs and the meats and bread were so fresh and delicious! We also got chips, cookies and bottles of soda with our order along with condiments, utensils and paper goods at a rather affordable price. I was (as I always am) very pleased with Dibela's - no complaints whatsoever! read more
