Among the local sub chains I have always preferred DiBella's, I think they make a far superior product. The Warrensville Heights location on Richmond is pretty typical; the stores feel more roomy and a bit more upscale then the other chains. There is plenty of seating, lots of warm wood and it just feels like they actually want you to stay and enjoy your food. On this trip I used the online ordering system which was easy and provided all of the options you could want to customize your sub. I ordered a Medium Tuna Sub on the Multigrain Bread with almost all of the veggies. The sub was ready for me to pick up, so I got in and out quickly. The Medim Sub is big enough so that I got 2 meals out of it. DiBella's bread is very good, great texture and chew, with a good flavor. The Tuna is high quality and not overly wet, plus they put a generous portion in the sub. DiBella's offers more topping options including various sweet and/or hot peppers, spinach, and mushrooms. I really appreciate being able to compliment the tuna with some crunchy and spicy items. DiBella's offers high quality subs and other items, prices are a bit higher than other chains, however you are getting better food and bigger portions. DiBella's feels more like a very good sub shop rather than a chain restaurant. If you are looking for a really good sub give them a try. read more

DiBella's Subs - Medium Tuna Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Warrensville Heights, Ohio

It's been years since I've had a sub from this place. I was in town and decided to stop in. The restaurant was empty and I was greeted right away. I asked the cashier what was his favorites. The cheesesteak was one that he mentioned so I decided to go with that. The cheesesteak was a great choice and the serving was plentiful. However, the sandwich could have used more mayo and cheese. It had very little cheese for what I expected in a cheesesteak and the taste was good but definitely could have been better. read more

The worst Chicken Philly I have ever tasted was purchased at the Warrensville Hts. location yesterday evening. Dried out sliced chicken breast with no seasoning whatsoever! Just horrible! A total waste of my $17. read more

I I never write bad reviews. But today I got the worst service the worst prepared sandwich, the ugliest looking presentation of food that ever had from Cabell. I have been there with develops for 30 years or so and I've always look forward to the sandwiches when I got home, it was one layer of meat, it wasn't the right layer. It had spicy meat when I did not order the spicy sandwich. There was one layer of lettuce there was no cheese to speak up. And downtown that should've been full and overflowing. I would give it less than one star. read more

DiBella's Subs - This is 1/3 of the DiBella's sandwich high off this afternoon. - Sandwiches Near Me - Warrensville Heights, Ohio

Attitude of waitstaff marginal. Food-prep area not clean. Grill: leftover food in the trough, countertop greasy. Staff seemed not to care about my concerns about cleanliness. read more

Huge huge huge shout out to mgr Tanya; my order from another location was not filled correctly and her location was closest to my current location so I went there and she was extremely gracious, pleasant and so accommodating to fix the error and give me the new sandwich at no cost. All her employees were upbeat, polite and very customer focused. I will be back and highly recommend this location! read more

Awesome service! Got me out of a jam with their catering. I called just a few hours before I needed lunch for an office meeting and they delivered it on time and were super friendly! Food was great. Everyone liked the sandwiches and they brought everything we needed like condiments and stuff. read more

Ordered a sub (in person) and had them confirm what they were putting on it. Got back to work and it was covered with mayo, which I did not order (and does not agree with me). Had to throw it away. When I called to let them know, it took seven minutes to get a manager and then they told me it was so busy and they were sorry ... I was the only one in the restaurant when I ordered it! Poor service with my (non) meal and poor service after. read more

Need to grab a quick bite between my son's soccer game and this place was a mistake. The girl taking orders want friendly at all. I'm not sure if she messed up our orders or the guy making them. I got the Buffalo chicken with Bleu cheese but there wasn't any hot sauce or Bleu cheese on it and my son got a ham and roast beef sub and it was covered in the hot Buffalo sauce that should have been on mine. The only reason I gave them 2 stars is because the check out lady was at least nice and apologized about the mix up. Nothing was remade. She gave me a a plastic cup of hot sauce and Bleu cheese. I also had banana pepper on mine. There might have been 2 and my sub was supposed to be hot and was slightly warm. Their cups say best sub you will ever have. Even subway is better read more

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had, if it wasn't for GrubHub. Everything would have been perfect. I recommend DiBella's highly!

Came in for the first time as we traveled from out of state... First and foremost the employees and food are great! Very kind employees, fast, delicious subs. Reason for my review is the environment and directly to the franchise itself... You have a full staff of African American employees, they all are kind and efficient and enjoy each other. Then You look at the walls and every single wall is filled with really cool looking pictures from the 60's of people enjoying the subs brought home to their families... so what's the problem? Every single picture on the wall are of WHITE families!! TONS of pictures and they are ALL only white families enjoying your food...How incredibly insulting to your full staff of black hard working employees to have to look around every day and see their company posts happy white American families only as the American dream on the walls of the establishment they work at every single day. I wanted to leave but the kindness of the employees kept us. I'm white and I felt very uncomfortable, and obligated to speak up. Do better for your employees. Times have changed for F sake. Have some consideration for others outside your white world... 5 stars for food and employees Zero stars for the owner/franchise. Get some pictures up on your walls that support the hard working employees you currently have. read more

subs are awesome let me start there. I would give 1 star if subs were not good. 1 star b/c if you try to use the app or order online, you will purchase elsewhere. I tried to order online for 2 days (catering order), then called in and the employee asked me to download the app and try that; failed 3 times. I hope they can take my order over the phone today or I have to order elsewhere. read more

absolutely horrendous. Placed an order with a young lady. Same young lady made the wrong sandwich and I was the only person in the store so she wasn't confused. Ordered a turkey club salad no bacon, wet lettuce soggy all over. No black olives just a huge pile of turkey and a few tomatoes. Brandon the manager was getting high with his girlfriend in the parking lot had the whole lot smelling like weed so of course he couldn't oversee his employees just argue with his girlfriend whe his associates making wrong food. Will never ever return to this location read more

Normally I rave about DiBella's subs, but their meatball sub was pretty bad for the two times I have ordered it The sauce tastes kind of burned along with not much flavor. The meatballs were kind of dry and falling apart. I only have this a 3 star, because I love DiBella's and nice portion sizes. I probably won't order it again unless a new recipe is released. Sorry for gross pic, but I just had to review with a pic. I didn't even finish the sandwich. read more

DiBella's Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Warrensville Heights, Ohio

I really like DiBella's, the bread can take the sandwich much higher. The staff always say hello and are good at their job. I've been here many times food prepared just as asked. I've eaten inside and placed orders using the app both done to perfection. Keep up the great work! read more

Yup, got to love the made to order, hot subs. Even their cold cut subs are pretty good. Their bread is all fresh and large. So you do need to be careful, because a medium is a large sandwich. So my approach is to get a medium, then take all of the contents of one of the halfs and put it into the other. Wastes bread I know, so save it to snack on if you like. The restaurant is old school and and only has booths. The booths can only hold 4 adults, so not great for larger groups. The sandwiches are made to order, so at lunch you could end up waiting in line. Worth it if you have the time. read more

Best sub chain around. The bread is always fresh and excellent, as are the toppings. plenty of choices to choose from. good value and an easy online ordering platform. the warrensville location always gets our order correct. read more

I just got a Dibella meatball sub. This comes with cheese and tomato sauce. Unfortunately, somebody with neither taste nor brains put MUSTARD on top of the tomato sauce. If I hadn't had it ubered to me, I'd have taken it back. I will NEVER order from this DiBella's again! read more

The freshest food I've had in many years even the bread . Fast service. Will definitely order from them again. read more

DiBella's, Jimmy John's, Penn Station, Quizno's, then Subway. For chains specializing in the sub sandwich, I rank in that very order. DiBella's though, clearly stands above the rest. The inside of DiBella's is much nicer than all the other sub shops. Coffered tin ceilings, Norman Rockwell-esque art and vintage soda shop detailing makes it seem like you're stepping into a time warp and into a much simpler time. Besides decor, I think what sets them apart from the others is their bread. A fresh loaf, baked on site that's hearty enough to support toppings, firm enough to not end up floppy and soggy like Subway's bread, yet not too crusty where it would chip a tooth like the competitors toasted variety. The method in which customers are attended to is different from other sandwich shops. Instead of getting into a single file line and each customer being waited on one at a time, there are multiple sub makers with individual stations. When I visited this location, I counted 4 or 5 customers being tended to at once. Choose your sub persuasion, choose whether hot or cold, the sauce and your personal sandwich artist will hook you up. Can't wait to tell others about this place! Finally a decent locale for lunch that's not too far away from where I work. Inexpensive, great service, clean, fast and damn good. read more

DiBella's Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Warrensville Heights, Ohio

I worked up to courage to give Dibella's another try after my previous disaster of a sandwich on a prior visit. I followed my own advice and kept it simple. Small cold turkey sub on everything bread. Loved it.The bread is so fresh and chewy. Veggies are fresh and the turkey was plentiful. For a sub shop it gets 4 stars, just be careful what you order. ie Avoid the Dagwood and avoid the hot sandwiches if it involves cold cuts. It's quick and cheap (especially if you have someone to share a sandwich with). It's comparable to Jimmy Johns with better bread and bigger sandwiches. read more

This is usually a great place for subs tonight however it seems like they lost their bearings. Not super busy just a handful of customers, but they are going slow...making people wait in the order line and checkout line. It took me over 5 minutes to get someone to cash me out. I have been here for 13 minutes and my wife still does not have her sub yet. Besides all this the subs are super, and the bread is awesome...I'm going to chalk the bad service tonight to an off night. Ok it's now 22 minutes and my wife does not have her sub, the 5 people who came in afterwards are gone and out the door with their food. I do need to give kudos to the young manager, he did a great job getting things back on track before the wheels feel off read more

It's been a very long time since I been here and todays visit was A1. The entire crew was friendly, efficiently and moved with a sense of purpose. Great energy here and awesome sandwiches. The bread and cookies tasted great too! I might come back more often to pick up some of these delicious mini cookies. THEY ARE GOOD! There aren't many better chocolate chip cookies out there. Shout out to the person who baked them. They were perfect. Big ups to the great folks managing this place. We see you read more

Went here for the first time today and all I can think is, wow I was missing out. DiBella's subs are so good and the atmosphere makes it even better! They have the option to create your own sub and you can choose unlimited toppings to go on it. All their toppings are very high quality as well as the meat they use. I got the chicken and it was delicious and was made to order, not cold cut. I got a warm sandwich in the small size, and was only able to eat half of it!! For 9 dollars, you can get a huge (size small) sub with chips and a drink to go along with it. Such a good deal and they are very friendly and quick to make your order! I will be returning for sure. read more

Stopped in to DiBella's with wife, mom, and son yesterday for a quick Valentine's Day lunch. I ordered a medium Philly Cheesesteak, my son got a turkey and cheese, my mom ordered a Godfather, and my wife ordered a Buffalo chicken sandwich. We paid, grabbed our chips and drinks, and then sat down with our numbers so the waitresses could see them. They build your sammich and then hunt around the restaurant looking for your number. When they see your number they give you the sammich and you can begin your indulgence. DiBella's subs are larger than most sub shops because they give you almost twice the bread as other sub shops. I'm really not a fan of all the bread, but it is fresh baked and very tasty. I ordered my cheesesteak on 'everthing' bread, which had a great taste. The quality of the steak used on the sandwich was very good. I tasted the meat by itself and it had a good texture and a great taste. The rest of the sandwich was delicious. I loved it. It was almost too big to eat at one sitting. The large sandwiches - don't even go there and less you want to share one amongst two or three people. I tasted my wife's Buffalo chicken and it was also delicious. My mom gave me a bite of her Godfather and that was really tasty too. My son's small turkey sub was too much for him to polish off, but he made every attempt. Excellent subs! read more

Great subs, as usual. Easy online ordering and easy in person ordering. They have the food area blocked off, so you order basically at the entrance, and go nowhere need the prep station. Our g-dfather sub was great! read more

Best subs ever. Everything is fresh and looks like the ad pictures. Only place to go. Great value for the price.

While I won't subscribe to the "best sub" line that others are tossing around, DiBella's makes a pretty decent sandwich. Vastly superior to most of the chains, that's for sure. I got the hot corned beef - made the mistake of getting a large which was ENTIRELY too large - on everything bread. Being a huge fan of everything bagels this was a great choice. The meat was of good quality and everything tasted fresh and delicious. I wasn't really crazy with the decor of the place so I ended up taking it home to eat. That said, I'll go back. read more

I absolutely Love Love Love Dibella's sandwiches and their cookies. I love their sandwiches hot and cold and it's always a special treat to add the chocolate chip cookies with walnuts to my order.

Also The staff at the Harvard Park location is awesome!! read more

The staff at the DiBella's restaurant was friendly and the service was exellent. I'd go there again.

I'm in love with these subs! I get the Veggie with everything except olives. It was like a party in my mouth! The small had to be at least 7". I almost couldn't finish, but pushed on because it was so delicious. Take a minute and join Club Bread. I received a small sub for free. This would likely become my sub establishment of choice if it were closer to home. Great food and great service. read more

I said I wouldn't give a chain 5 stars unless it's really great. Well, Dibella's is really great! I love sandwiches. I'm not sure who doesn't - but I am obsessed with them and they have become one of my many pregnancy cravings. I NEED SANDWICHES! Especially subs. Anyway, this place was like a classier, more "authentic" looking version of Jimmy John's, with a larger selection of breads and types of sandwiches. They have a large menu of hot sandwiches too, which I'm not sure Jimmy John's does. Even though it is a chain, it doesn't exactly feel that way. I just had my usual turkey with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and cheese, but there's something about the special dressing they use, or the combination of mayo and mustard, that gives it something different. Plus the bread is just awesome. I had wheat, I think, but it was really dark and tasted like pumpernickel. Amazing. They also have sides like potato salad and pickles. And these amazing chocolate-chip cookies. Ok, I'm making myself hungry for a sandwich now and it's only 10:20. Just try Dibella's next time you want a really GOOD sandwich. read more

Subs were excellent and everyone was extremely friendly. Would definitely order from them again!!
