Dave's Cosmic Subs is an icon in North East Ohio. I have friends around the country, and I shake my head when I hear them talking about how much they like Jimmy Johns. Dave's is on an entirely different level.
The Kent location is not a disappointment - everything I expect from Dave's. I usually order takeout and now delivery - through the local startup Local Munchies which is a middleman delivery service which allows normal restaurants to offer online delivery orders to customers, which I love.
Subs can be a bit messy -- but they're worth it. They use great crusty baguettes for the subs. Meats are high quality, vegetables are fresh, and they have great unique condiments. There is no better sandwich in Kent. Forget Subway. Forget Jimmy Johns. Forget Mr. Hero.
