I've tried to love it 3 times over 15 years and it's good, but I wouldn't go out of my way. All 3 visits were different locations. The staff at this specific location were very fun and friendly. To be fair to Dave's, I had the same thing all 3 times. I know they have a huge following, so I'm going to assume that maybe other items are great. Thumbs up on the toasted bun, but that shouldn't be the most notable component. The brownie was great.

Ordered ahead and the lady on the phone got it in one take, and the order was correct which for today's food experience is incredible. She even delayed it 10min for me so it would be ready right when I got there. Earned her tip.

Ordered 2 sandwich trays for pick up at 11:30 AM on Sunday, 10/22/23 for a family function. The sandwiches were a huge hit and they tasted awesome as always. Everything tasted fresh. I was lucky to get one before they disappeared. Every one asked where I got them. These party trays were also priced perfectly. To the person who took my order and the people who handled my pickup, THANK YOU.

All of the negative reviews confuse me. I moved to the area about 2 years ago. I’ve ordered Dave’s about 10 times. Never had a bad experience. My go to’s are the San Fran (because I like the slaw) and Crazy Dave (because it’s spicy). But I’ve tried many others; the original, sloppy, blt, etc. all very good. Also can never go wrong with a chip to go with the sandy. I’ve had plenty of bad experiences at local food shops, this ain’t one of em’?
2 stars because it was fast. First timer here. When I got home, I had to add meat and mayo. Cashier wasn't very nice either. Not going back.

Used to be my favorite place for a sub but it’s clear the sandwich makers are giving up. Now the food is just a sad reminder of good times past. Ingredients are still good but you probably get more food in federal prison

Is this location going out of business? They are nonresponsive by phone from 6pm till close @ what I assume is 730pm, that time is unclear though as the website lists the close time @ 9pm and Google has 730 listed. That point is sort of irrelevant because you can't seem to place an order after from 6 on. I haven't tried any times before 6 because work doesn't end for me until 6. Not a good way to run a deli shop in a very competitive market .

Literally the WORST place to get Dave's Cosmic Subs. I grew up eating from the original shop and I keep trying to give this location a chance just because of how much I love Dave's. this location gets worse with each attempt. Call me crazy for trying them probably 25 times in the last 5 years. Everything from hair in the subs (multiple times) to completely dry "Sloppy Dave's". WHERE IS THE DAVE'S SUB SAUCE?!?! I am embarrassed for you Lakewood location, you don't deserve to be named Dave's Cosmic Subs.

Excellent sandwich and staff. I pop in about once a week for lunch, and have finally settled on a favorite. The Hey Dave with extra meat and horseradish. Sandwich is always made timely and with love! Always delicious! Today I asked the tall skinny kid in back to recommend a sandwich for my daughter and he suggested the Turkey Dave and it did NOT disappoint!The whole staff is great to deal with, and they definitely do a better job than that place a couple of blocks away where they're nice but always seem to forget my horseradish sauce.Keep up the great work, guys!
