Our subs are a unique combination of ingredients and flavors, which differentiates us from our competitors. However, our Dave's Cosmic Sauce is what truly makes us special.

All of our subs are served on Italian (vegan), whole wheat, gluten free, or rye bread baked fresh in our ovens throughout the day.
