by Mauronic
I have tried a lot of sandwich shops and I don't know of a better one in LA. You can't go wrong at Dave's.
- Pros: Top quality, super-friendly service, low prices
- Cons: Would like to see more variety in the specials

Best Sandwiches and WONDERFUL people. HANGOVER CURE!
by shanecasting
It's a small place but you won't find a friendlier bunch of folks and their sandwiches are phenomenal. I'm not a real sandwich lover, but they've changed me. My fave is the french dip. I'm not a big roast beef person so they make it for me with their roast turkey. It comes on a perfectly soft french roll, provolone cheese, horseradish mayo (ask for extra cuz it's divine), and the meat is soaked in au jus first before being placed on the roll. Dave also makes a mean pulled pork sandwich that he makes at home, using sometimes Maker's Mark in his sauce. The man knows his sandwiches, and if you ask him, he'll tell you about his philosophies on 'em. I'm also a huge fan of his chili...I try to go during the year when he has the chili dog in season...sooooooo yummy! I always order for my office and they are CONSTANTLY requesting that I go by Dave's to bring it in for them. One of our guys is a vegetarian so the veggie wrap seems to make him very happy. Another thing...it's the best hangover cure I've found. A french dip sammy with a smoothie (for a hangover, I suggest the everything nice smoothie...it's jam packed with great ingredients). I stumbled in there one "morning after" and walked out feeling 95% better...it was a miracle. Thank you, DAVE and company!
- Pros: Friendly service, Phenomenal sandwiches & smoothies...OOH and malts! Hangover cures!
- Cons: Small, but that's not really a con.

Lacks cleanliness
by no2yes
I've heard so much about this place, that I just had to try it. My first impression when I came in was "what a dump!". there was lettuce and trimmings all over the floor and counters. there were three people fixing sandwiches, cutting ingredients and charging ... all of them doing everything, so I'm not sure the hygiene was there. I kept an open mind and ordered a tuna salad sandwich. It was average at best. I was upset at myself for not leaving the place when I noticed how dirty it was. I now wonder what happens behind closed doors. It's up to you if you decide to try it, but I would not recommend this place to anyone. To be fair, I must say that the people working were very nice and friendly ... I wish I'd been looking to make friends instead of a good sandwich!
- Pros: Friendly people
- Cons: Dirty place, questionable hygiene
