I heard several people raving about Big Dave's so I decided to try the SoDo location. I've had Dave's before but at the Kia center at one of the stands and it did not impress me at all. When you walk into the SoDo location you immediately walk straight into the counter. The worker who took my order was extremely nice and helpful. The dining room is really small with limited seating. It was really busy when I got there but by the time I got my food a table opened up. I ordered 2 classic Dave subs, fries, chicken and cheesesteak egg rolls. I got the smallest sub and it was stuffed with cheesesteak. The sub was just ok to me, when eating it all I mainly could taste was the toppings. I felt like it was lacking flavor in the actual steak. The egg rolls tasted great and the sauce it came with was good as well. The fries just tasted like regular fries. If I do return I'll probably just get the egg rolls and fries.

This was my first time having Big Dave's Cheesesteak, and i can guarantee that it won't be my last! Me and my wife waited about 10 minutes max before our food was ready. Staff was friendly, and there was also plenty of seating.

Big Dave's Cheesesteak 2nd Orlando location has officially opened in SODO & it's GOOD! The service was quick , it took about 15 mins to get my order . I did order to go . The ambiance was chill , they have seating to eat in and a TV to watch while you eat . The customer service was great and the young lady at the register was very helpful . Check them out & let me know what you think. #1 -Dave's way Beef Cheesesteak (Reg) -Salmon Cheesesteak w/provolone cheese (Reg) -1 Chicken & 1 Salmon egg-roll ( comes with dipping sauce) -Water Ice -Banana Pudding

If you love cheesesteaks, this is a must try! 3 meat options ( beef, chicken or salmon ) with 3 sub size options. You can make it a meal with fries and drink as well. Tried the regular Philly and the chicken cheesesteak = 10/10 for sure! Side of crinkle fries and a drink were supper filling. Great selections and they have a sitting area inside . Definitely worth coming to Sodo for sure ! Service was amazing

Chicken Philly Big Dave's Way
Los H.

The restaurant is located in a storefront. It seems relatively new. The inside was clean and looked freshly painted. The order counter was steps from the entrance. The employees at the counter greeted customers promptly when they entered. They were very hospitable. I chose the Regular (9") Chicken Philly Big Dave's Way (toppings and 3 types of cheese). The sandwich was piping hot when it came out. It had a very generous portion of chicken. And the cheese.... cheese overload and I loved it. I'm not a cheesesteak connoisseur so take the next comment with a grain of salt. The sandwich was good but it didn't have the special "something". I also don't know what the going rate for a 9" cheesesteak is. This one seemed to be on the pricey side. Dining room tip. If you're going to use the high tops in the back the seating is tight. You may need to stand. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. I'd go back.

Being a huge lover of Philly Cheesesteaks, I had been wanting to try this spot. Many of my friends who know how much I love them and have actually tried my Phillies I make at home, told to come try this place as well. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. I love the concept and the ambiance. Service was fairly quick as well. I just felt it was a bit too greasy for my liking and I feel the meat lacked a little bit of flavor. The bread also had a bit of a density to it, typically the bread gets either toasted or put on the griddle to soften and warm it up a bit. My wife and I may come back to try the Philly fries and hopefully this was a one time not so good experience.

Beef Cheesesteak combo

We walked by this place walking towards Target and decided to stop in. The lady in the front was very welcoming and explained their menu to me very well. I decided to go with something simple just a basic beef cheesesteak with American cheese onions. I went with the classic size which is 9 inch, which was perfect for me. I definitely will come back again.

Farmers Punch

I enjoyed my visit to Big Dave's Cheesesteaks. Everyone was very welcoming with their "Welcome in" greeting. Arely, the server, was very helpful with the menu and making sure I had everything I needed during my visit. She introduced me to the machine hand washer. It was pretty cool. I ordered the Big Dave's original Cheesesteak, fries and drink. The Cheesesteak was perfect. It wasn't too oily. The wrapping paper helped hold the Cheesesteak together in the wrapper and prevented it from being messy. The fries were nice and hot. You can never go wrong with Crinkle Cut fries. The Farmers Punch is addictive. I had to refill my cup at least 2 times before leaving. With the music playing, it's definitely a vibe.

#1 combo

Walk up to the counter to order. They call you when your order is ready. Try to find a place to sit. 3 four tops and 3 hi tops squeezed together. No breathing room so I suggest you get your order to go although then it won't be as delicious and delicious it was. Amaroso rolls and cheez whiz and all the right stuff. Go for the cheesesteaks not the ambiance.

Finally got around to Big Dave's and it's FANTASTIC! Clean and well lit dining room with a family friendly atmosphere. The cheesesteak was seasoned to perfection! The fries were hot and crispy. The staff was polite and attentive. Can't wait to go back!

Fries and wiz
Jen D.

The staff are all very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant is very clean and even has an automatic hand washer. I have never seen one before, but it was perfect because this cheesesteak can get a little messy. The good ones usually are. The fries were perfectly crispy and dusted with their seasoning. I will definitely be back!

I came in not expecting much more than a quick bite, but the experience at Daniel's Cheesesteaks…read moreended up being surprisingly memorable. Before I even got my food, I had a great interaction with Mercedes at the counter. She was genuinely friendly, easy to talk to, and didn't rush the moment, which set a really positive tone right away. I ordered a cheesesteak with everything on it, and when it came out, it was clear they don't cut corners here. The sandwich was fully loaded from one end to the other, with finely chopped steak that was juicy and well seasoned. The cheese was melted throughout instead of just sitting on top, so every bite had that same balanced flavor. Even with all the toppings, nothing felt overwhelming, and the bread held everything together without falling apart. It also came with fries, which were hot and crispy, and I paired everything with a peach Crush. That combination worked really well, especially with how rich the cheesesteak was. Between the quality of the food and the customer service, this is an easy recommendation. If you are craving a cheesesteak and want something that actually feels worth it, this spot is a solid choice. The ambience was just simple. It gave a mom and pop shop vibe, I love it.

Daniel's Cheesesteak House - Winter Garden, FL Just when I…read morethought Orlando-area cheesesteaks were doomed to be sad, touristy imitations, Daniel's showed up and restored my faith in humanity. This is the real deal: thin-sliced ribeye chopped on the griddle with perfect browning, Cooper Sharp melting like it's supposed to, fresh Amaroso rolls flown in from Philly that actually have the right chew and crust. Place is small, family-run local business. If you grew up in the Philly burbs or just know what a proper cheesesteak is supposed to taste like, do yourself a favor and get over to Winter Garden. Easily the best cheesesteak in Central Florida, full stop. Already planning my next trip. TL;DR: South Jersey/Philly expats, your search is over. Go. Now. Bring napkins.

When I looked at the address and closing time, they were closing at 8 and we would be arriving at 7:40 so I didn't want to make them make us a sandwich so late right before closing but the craving was so bad that we just decided to go. We got there at 7:40 and were greeted so lovingly by Ava (the owners sister). I began to apologize for being so late and making them do more work and that's when the owner (Jack) walked in and mentioned how it was not a problem and reassured me that if they had to serve me at 8pm then they would. They made the atmosphere so delightful and it allowed for the food to be that much better. Not only were the Philly's PHENOMENAL!!!!! But the service was absolutely incredible 10/10! We already can't wait to come back and bring our friends to try them out and meet them. Side note: IT IS SUUUUUUUPER CLEAN! It does not look like your typical sub spot where it's more run down and dinghy. They keep it cleaner than most of our homes to be honest lol I truly felt taken care of not just with the food but with the quality of service! 10/10 Philly Bros!

My Italian grandparents would take me to the market every weekend and we'd buy cannolis and deli meat and Italian cheeses to prep for different Italian dishes. My friend and I split the eggplant Parmesan sandwich. The sandwich was huge! It was definitely too much for just one of us so we decided to split it. It was served hot and had the perfect amount of sauce and eggplant and cheese. My friend told me that I had to try this pistachio cream cake and it was so flavorful and creamy and delicious!

The steak sandwich is my favorite; it has the perfect amount of spice and zest. Bread holds up nicely without becoming soggy from the steak. Rotating soups, sandwiches, and deli items are also available. Associates kindly ask upon entering if it's your first time so they can give you the run-down. Parking can be a challenge at times, and the interior can feel tight and overwhelming if there's a crowd of guests waiting. Stasio's is a great addition to the city as we don't have too many bodega style delis around. I forgot I'm in Florida when I'm here.

Everything about this…read moreplace was phenomenal (aside from their tiny parking lot).The parking is a little tricky but well worth trying to get a spot because the food is delicious here. Tiny hole in the wall but once you're inside there is a very nice amount of seating, both tables and a barstool area to sit at. I placed an order and proceeded to sit at the bar area and wait for my food. Once it came out (super fast despite how many people were there), I understood why the sandwiches here are a little on the pricier side. The Ya-Mon which is jerk chicken, sweet plantains, pork rinds, jalapeno pesto, mango jam, gouda, jerk lime mayo, was heavenly. All the flavors blended in perfectly and the bread was so soft. The lime mayo was outstanding! It was about $16 and we'll worth every penny. The staff was super friendly and got everything cooked and sent out to each table very quickly. I will say if you come here during peak times, be ready to take the order to eat in your car or somewhere else because the tables filled up insanely fast while I was here!

The sandwiches are really creative and actually taste good which says a lot - I feel like most places with this style over-do it. Kind of reminds me of New York City bodega subs but with a twist. Beer selection is solid too, plenty of options to pair with whatever sandwich you may get. Makes for a good sit down lunch with a beer. I do wish their patio had more coverage though, great little outside seating area but often the sun is beating down on you and that sucks.

These two factors meant I couldn't pass up an opportunity to come here. Ambiance was a little sport bar, a little dive, a little Philly, I think this was an Eagles bar. It was nice, comfy. TV's were everywhere, seating was everywhere. I think this would be a great place to come watch some NFL games. Service was very nice. We had a very friendly server. And the food came out very timely. Speaking of food, I definitely think this was the best Cavo's Philly Cheesesteak (Thinly sliced ribeye, sauteed onions, & white American cheese on a fresh baked hoagie roll) I've ever had. The hoagie roll was so soft, it held up so well to the wet ingredients inside, and the way the roll was cut was just perfect. I loved everything about this sandwich. We also had the French Bread Pizza (Fresh baked seeded roll split in half and topped with house pizza sauce, grande mozz, pecorino romano, and fresh basil (add pepperoni)). Very crispy bread, very cheesy cheese, and pepperoni that was packed with flavor. This was a lot of fun. I was super excited for the Pigs in a Blanket (All beef hot dogs wrapped in puff pastry served with chipotle ketchup & Bavarian sweet mustard). Very crispy, very legit hot dogs within, and wow, that ketchup was actually amazing. Eating this watching football would be a dream. Everything we ate with a side of Curly Fries. Also good.
