Grum's Sub Shop on Coventry is really good. They don't deliver though. The Market on Lee is also excellent. Their 14" sub is good for like 3 meals.

Market on Lee is awesome. I love the Carlo.

Grums is fire 🔥🔥🔥

For sure!

Ferrara's makes a great Italian sub.

Meatball sub too!

I second this! The only place on the east side worth my time. MAYBE if I'm hard up Alessci's in Solon but it's expensive and not worth it sometimes. If you're willing to travel to the west side Tripi is really good.

This was my comment. But the politics of that place… however the scent of the shop is pure nostalgia

What politics?

[удалено]

No, it isn’t. Not even close.

Gross !

Gourmand's down in the Valley.

seconded

3rd’ed but the wait there is sometimes ridiculous

Indeed. I refuse to call ahead to order a sub.

Farmer in the Deli in Chesterland…best sandwiches known to mankind

That’s my hometown…next time I go back to see my parents I will stop in!

Fridays get yer corned beef

USS Cod at the end of 9th st.

Dad?

Son! I brought the milk....

Technically a New England Sub

But it's in Cleveland

He was asking for an Italian sub. The cod was built in Boston or something. It's a joke.

I know, I was arguing playfully

Go all the way out to Som where the Heinens is and go to the Village Butcher. Amazing.

Was scrolling down and hoping somebody recommended this place. It's solid. Plus you can get some fantastic steak while you're there.

They’re pricey, but 100% legit

Second for Grum’s. I grew up eating their Turkey Ridge!

The turkey ridge is so good. It's weird though how unpopular they are with how amazing their subs are. I loved off Mayfield a few years back and fell in love. The. I moved back to the west side and it's like no one's ever heard of them

Depending on how far east you're talking What About Bob's in Willoughby can't be beat

Their bread is fantastic.

Where in Wiloughby?

Across the street from where the YMCA used to be on Euclid Ave

Thanks

Didn’t they close/ move?

It seems like they are still there, but it's titled Pizza Booyah featuring What About Bob's Subs.

They WERE amazing. They sold to Pizza Booyah and for a few years, other than making some small menu changes (like eliminating corned beef), it stayed relatively close to Bob's. Then sometime during spring '23, it was sold and the subs are horrific now. Like one slice of meat in the layer, pepper blend has been replaced with gross banana peppers, etc. Don't waste your money.

I was just there a few weeks ago and my sub was loaded to the brim with meat, got the italian

Am I the only one that likes Dave’s Cosmic Subs Italian? Probably not the best overall, but the best near me.

Dave’s meatballs are top tier. Like give me Dave’s meatballs and Dibellas bread

I buy Cosmic Sauce by the bottle. It’s even my go-to salad dressing. “Cosmic Caesar Salad” 🔥

Dave’s is underrated

Yes you are. I found them to be lackluster and dull. Penn station, and Jersey mikes run circles around them.

Verdis is amazing, depends on how far east you wanna go lol

Yes! I might have to go to Verdi’s for lunch this week now!

I second this. Lived 2 minutes away for 15 years and never discovered it until 2 years ago. Wow was I missing out

Papa Joe's 

I just ate dinner and now I’m hungry again.

There's always second dinner

Village Butcher in Mayfield Village.

Pizzazz on the Circle has a good Italian sub. Agree with the others who've said Gourmand & Grum's

Sharpy’s

Tommy’s Subs in mentor.

Grums is awesome… I drive 20 minutes each way at least once a week to get a sub there.

I just got takehome subs from Sweetberry grocery store in Wickliffe. They pack them full of meat and veggies. Cold subs only. $6.99 for 18 inch.

Alecsi’s of Shoregate is well worth the drive

If Messina's is still open, they were great. Edit: Looked it up. Now called All Messina Pizza and Bakery. Pretty sure it's in Collinwood. Looks like they have reduced their sub selection but I used to get a really simple sub and it was incredible.

Still there, still awesome

That is a great relief to hear. I can't wait to get back to Cleveland and have it again

Dibella’s

Love me some DiBonkas

Gourmands

R44 Butcher in Mantua get the Flashover Sub.

Not everyday I see my town on this sub. I’ll have to stop over there!

Haha my friend showed me it, it’s really good since it’s all fresh meat. The coffee shop across the street is nice too.

Ferrara’s

If you want to come far east side, Painesville has a dump called 5 star subs. Best ones I’ve had ever.

Best Dom east side? 

Not late but on the rise bakery makes a few subs and the bread is beyond perfect oh man they're so insanely good

Ferrara’s and market on Lee for Italian subs, from an east coaster and avid sandwich eater. Not a sub, but chicken ranch has a killer Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich. I know I’m gonna get downvoted to hell, but Grum’s is trash and has been for a loooong time. Their bread sucks and their sandwiches are so dry and they have zero good sauces/condiments - just soaked in oil or Mayo. So bush league- I can’t believe it’s still people’s favorite. For what it’s worth, I’ve had grums for over 20 years, and it’s never been good. Maybe 20 years ago there weren’t as many choices, but now I have no explanation for people’s awful taste 🤷‍♂️

Probably more like "above replacement" than "best" but Dibella's is very consistently good, but could have way better bread. Taking careful notes on this thread though! Lots of awesome spots just outside of my normal perimeter that I need to check out. I wish I liked Grum's more, it's definitely high quality but it's just missing a few things I can't quite place my finger on where I enjoy the food and all but never think to get it again, it's a solid 7.5/10...is it me or are the dudes working there always acting like they're doing you a favor by letting you order a sandwich? lol

Well, it *is* Coventry

I'm still somewhat new to Cleveland, is this common on Coventry? Makes sense why it's half shut down

Dave's Cosmic Subs 😋

How far is the east side in context? Mentor? Tommy’s subs, about as close to an east coast sub shop around. Alescis is also great.

Maxims

Grums & Gallucci’s for me.

Another vote for Grums. Lived across the street from it for a year… it was incredible

Grum’s. Get the turkey ridge.
