Best subs in the world!!! Just opened

While in town on business, it's hard to find decent, non-chain places to eat. Although, I do make exceptions for subs... as the Subway/Togo/Jimmy John's offer standard food (but not greasy fast-food). Anyway, I was actually on my way to Jimmy John's after a long day of meetings... as I drove by a new strip mall, I noticed the Panera, but then saw a big sign for DiBella's. Did a quick Yelp search and decided I'd eat here instead.... which was a great choice! I ordered the large Dagwood on the sesame bread... they were out of the multi-grain, but it was 8:30pm at the time... so no worries there. Service was great and the sandwich was done in no time. The sandwich was one of the best I've had in some time too. The only ding on a perfect 5 star review was the person who was working the register that night. No hello... just stated the total, acted like I was imposing, or shouldn't be there. After ringing it up and taking my payment, I said "Thanks" and she just stared at me until I finally turned away to leave. It's a minor point, but a little customer service goes a long way. That aside, I wouldn't let that minor thing stop you from trying this place out.

We found this place pretty confusing. We came in on a Saturday afternoon around 3:00 and it took a very long time to be waited on. There were several people working making sandwiches and one kept apologizing to us (we're guessing for the wait) but we still weren't clear where to order even though we were the only ones in line. Once they were ready to help us it went pretty quickly. The bread is the best part about the sandwiches- the sesame bread is amazing. They put a lot of meat on the sandwiches which is nice. The medium size is generous/huge- neither my husband or I could finish our sandwich. The restaurant is nice inside- pretty big- with jazz music playing. Overall, it was OK- kind of confusing and frustrating service with a long wait, great bread, pretty good sandwiches.

Great sandwiches and awesome decor and ambiance. Makes you feel like you are in the 50's. That being said, during lunch it can turn into mayhem as the line is out the door and nobody knows exactly what to do. Fortunately, the folks that raise their hands and yell at you keep the line moving. It takes a while for them to make your sandwiches so I recommend that you take a seat and enjoy yourself, it can take a while.

The only problem I have is that the customer is over-charged for the sandwich. The bread is great and everything else that goes on the sandwich. But there is NOT enough meat on the sandwich. No WAy NEAR enough meat for the price of the sub. Yes u can pay more for extra meat, but you should not have to. Bread to meat ratio is ridiculous. When you have to look for the meat on your sub that cost almost $10. then there is a problem. You decide... I did. I agree with other posters... THEY SKIMP!
(3)Stacey S.
Amazing subs!!! Get the small unless you have a huge appetite. They are very large. Another option is to share a large with someone. Trust me...you won't go hungry. The meats and cheeses are top quality. And the special oil sauce is a must!
(5)Kristian B.
Clean Restaurant! Nice staff! Great food! Very Reasonably priced! Staff was friendly, but they run through the options so fast, it was a little hard to follow! But the girls working were in a great mood and very patient with me, Thanks Ladies!!!

HUGE sandwiches! This place is pretty busy on a weekday for lunch. It sits in between Melt and Panera as a middle-of-the-road option when you're not looking to pig out (ahem, Melt) and Panera seems too boring. The meat seemed fresh and the sandwiches were perfectly fine, but I didn't think it was anything amazing. I did try both their white chocolate macadamia nut cookie as well as the chocolate chip cookie, and was pretty impressed with both.
(3)Shellie D.
Sandwiches were geeat, I got the philly cheese steak and my wife got the Godfather which looks even better.
(5)Brian C.
Delicious subs and very friendly staff! I am in here once a week at least and would suggest the meatball, godfather, or Philly subs. This place is clean, efficient, and staff is always smiling and pleasant. Please keep up the great work.
(5)Missy R.
Love this place. Been here many times. Me and my husband had tried several subs and all were great. I couldn't believe how huge the sandwiches were any size! Very much worth the money and I have recommend this place to everyone I know!
(5)Noah P.
They are ok. I prefer other restaurants like the swensons, though! Try a galley boy and maybe the fries.
(3)John P.
I came here for lunch at about 1:30. Very friendly staff and had very good patience with my huge order. They acted in a way as if "it always happens" and done a very good job. The manager Eric was very nice to myself and the customer's behind me. Definetely coming here more often !
(5)Mike S.
Great sub place. The godfather on the everything bread is my go to sub. The others sound really good as well but have not ventured out. I just enjoy the godfather too much. They need more sub shops in northeast Ohio like Dibellas. Great service, fresh ingredients, and large sandwiches.
(4)David R.
Food is great... All Dibellas are. The service at this particular one is horrible, however. Everyone mills around like they have no idea and it takes forever to get your food. Every single time.
(2)Peri E.
Ok this is my second time back here and I can easily say that this place has one of the best Subs. I recommend the spicy chicken if u like your sub juicy with a little bit of heat.

"Best sub you ever had" is printed on the wrapper and wow they were not kidding! The first time I tried their subs was at a lunch meeting we had at work a few weeks ago. They won me over from that 1 quarter of a sub and giant 1/2 pickle. Stopped by tonight after work and was thrilled that there was no line. We got a cheesesteak sub on everything bread and a roastbeef sub on everything bread plus 1 whole pickle to split. The bread is so fresh even for 6:30pm. We ordered 2 small sandwiches and split between us. I think I really enjoyed the cheesesteak a little bit more, but maybe because it was warm and juicy on such a cold CLE night. The price was beyond fair considering we are both completely full. I cannot imagine eating a large sub in one sitting. Staff was super friendly! So glad we had that meeting and discovered this place! We will definitely be here more often!

I was in Independence to meet some recruiters, so I figured I'd stop in for lunch after hearing my buddy tell me how good their sammiches are. The line was pretty long, but it seemed to move fairly quickly. The lady who took my order was very nice and was efficient. I had a small Godfather on multigrain. The bread was hearty and fresh. Lots of meat in the sammich and plenty of seasoning for a zesty flavor! It was delicious and filling. I'm glad I didn't get a larger one or I would've been on a food coma. I'm never out in that part of town, but would go back if I was! DRoe, you were right!

Spend your $10 and 1000 calories elsewhere. Subs are boring and service is questionable, even for counter service.

5/31/2013 Ewwww! She made my sub on the wash rag!
(1)Diann K.
All I can say is ok, something is missing in each and everything I looked at ordering. The bread was just alright I had the everything. The corned beef was ok, the Swiss cheese was strong and over all it would have been better with cole slaw or sauerkraut but neither was offered. Hoping for better, pretty much your average chain sub shop
(1)Brent S.
It's good but not good for you. You get certain ones packed w various meats and while they taste great you realize you just ate a salt lick when you are really thirsty hours later. The portions are large though. I haven't had anything bad here. And surprisingly their cookies are insanely good. The only issue I've run into is the service, waited a while after they took my order and forgot to place it. Knew something was wrong when 5 people after me had theirs first. They obviously then made it and mistakes happen but it is slightly rude not to offer even a complimentary pop or such that cost you all of 12 cents as a business. Also, I don't like philly anything so while people enjoy those a lot here I've had them and well I still don't like phillys. I can't call it bad resulting as it is probably what you are looking for then if you like that kind of sandwich haha

So. I do P90x and I work up quite an appetite. i was jonesing for cold cuts and fresh bread and I didn't want to take a shower when I got home from wherever I would go so Giant Eagle was out of the question (fleas? lice? who's to say) and I went to this place and got a great big sandwich. There was no line which -insert pithy intellectual reference here- meant I had to order on the fly. I panicked and went with the 'Old Fashioned' on sesame seed which was a good call considering. I loaded up on everything and micromanaged the assembly by instructing the girl with an impressive off-the-cuff colloquialism: "don't be shy with that mayo, Missy." She got the message and it was prepared to my liking. It being my sandwich. I got swiss cheese and lettuce. It was the best sub I have ever eaten. Ever. The sesame bun is so good and the rest of it was glorious. I will never eat at Subway again. Subway, it turns out, is nasty. Who knew? Here's how I did it: I went home and shooed the animals and then I poured my souvenir Swenson's glass with the chip half full with Aberlour cask strength single malt scotch ( I won a bottle of batch 39 off of my buddy who lives in Medina) and went bite, glug, bite, glug until my head was swimming and I was just wolfing at that sandwich. It only cost maybe eight bucks for this two pound monster sandwich. I miss it. I couldn't come up with a good quote on good sandwiches but let's pretend I did and it is really clever and it makes me look smart: " quote goes here."

Ok, I gotta be frank. Everyone knows I LOVE MY DiBella's. But this location loses a star because I kinda got the feeling that they skimp on quality for the sake of efficiency. I went in at CRAZYTIME. AKA lunch hour. The line was Chipotle-style in length. They had a pretty good system of the sandwich makers waving and a manager escorting those in line to the nearest worker. Very assembly line. That's fine. But for some reason, the bread didn't taste as fresh, the ingredients not as plentiful. That's sad. Maybe it was just a fluke. And really, who am I to complain? I got my sandwich fairly quickly and I ate it just as quickly. It tasted fine. But ... it wasn't up to DiBella's standards. Which is five stars all the way. I'll visit again soon; maybe they're still working out their kinks. I'll try to go at an off-time and see if there's any difference. By the way, I hate this parking lot. I always park in the back, but even that was a madhouse yesterday. Oh well. All the business dudes in Independence have to eat somewhere, and I suppose this new development is as good a place as any.

As far as sub sandwiches go, Dibella's is about as good as it gets! I saw that today was the opening day and decided to give it a shot due to restaurants seriously lacking in this area. The ordering process was a bit chaotic and disorganized but once I figured out what I was going to order, I was not at all disappointed. As a newbie mistake, I ordered a large cheese steak (which ended up being enough food to feed a small village). I am 5'11' and 240 lbs and half of this sub put me to the point of bursting. While $12 seemed a bit expensive for my meal, I quickly changed my opinion on the matter when I realized that it would feed me for at least 2 meals. Besides being massive, the sandwich was also amazingly delicious. It can't even be compared with the likes of Subway, Jimmy John's, or Quiznos. They are simply nothing alike and Dibella's is a million times superior to those places. The bread is what makes all the difference. It is soft and dense on the inside but slightly firm and crunchy on the outside. I was blown away by my first experience here and it certainly won't be my last.

So, after further consideration I've downgraded my rating. Great subs....still. But, it seems as if they try to make paying as difficult as possible. I've gone there several times in the past two weeks and it has taken between 5 and 8 minutes just to pay....this is after you wait 5, 10 or more minutes before you get your sub. Not sure what the problem is. All I know is that, I have a limited time for lunch and don't want to spend much time standing in line. My fellow diners agreed. Needless to say, I can go across the street (potbelly subs), down the street (gourmonds), or up the street (heavenly ham) for a sub, without the wait.
(2)Mike P.
I was in Independence for a job fair as I'm moving back to Cleveland soon, and after I was finished about 1 PM I was totally famished and in the mood for a nice lunch. I checked Yelp and saw that DiBella's had good reviews and was just down the road so I gave it a try. That was a great idea! There was virtually no wait and I ordered a medium Godfather. After I saw it being made, I was worried that it was going to be too much to handle because it was huge. The large looks like it's made with a whole loaf of bread. It made a subway sub look like a hot dog by comparison. The bread was fresh made and it had plenty of genoa salami, capicolla and spicy ham. It was the best sub I've had since I was in the Navy in Newport RI where the "grinders" are the real deal. The sandwich was so good I killed it! I can't wait to go there again the next time I'm in the area.

I usually don't review chains. Stopped here for a quick bite between work and other obligations. I ordered the veggie which was bread, cheese, lettuce, and lots of peppers. I could've had onions and tomatoes, but raw onions and tomatoes and I don't hang out. The other veg option was cheese, which looked like the veggie with more cheese. They have other lunch meat options too but I didn't see anything too amazing. The bread was good but there was a lot of it. I chose the everything and it felt like I was eating a bagel with lettuce and peppers. The prices were average for a sub place. Ordering was Subway style and they were a little under staffed. We waited too long to order and then too long to pay. Staff was friendly enough, there just wasn't enough of them. I've had better subs at Penn Station.
(2)Ellen S.
I was really excited to try this place because of all the glowing reviews. But I was a little disappointed. It was really busy but I was taken care of quickly. The decor was nostalgic and comfortable. Staff was friendly. I got a french dip and a cookie to eat in. Before I get into the quality of the food, I'll mention the portions. They are huge portions for your money! I got the smallest size sandwich they had and I could hardly finish it. The cookie was good, tasted store bought (which isn't really a bad thing!) And the sandwich was just ok. Nothing particularly special. Au jus? Kind of bland. I felt like I could have gone to Arby's and gotten something similar. (Dare I say, better?) I'll give this place another try and get something else later. But I will say its a nice change of pace from Subway.
