Big Dave's Cheesesteaks is an Atlanta-based fast-casual chain founded in 2014 by Derrick Hayes, a West Philadelphia native.

Sandwiches come in 6", 9", and 18" sizes with beef, chicken, salmon, or veggie options. Hayes named the restaurant after his late father David. The chain ranked #4 on Fast Casual's 2026 Top 100 Movers and Shakers list and operates across Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida.

"Dave's Way" is the restaurant's signature fully-loaded build -- the sandwich comes with all three cheeses (White American, Provolone, and Cheese Whiz) plus onions, mushrooms, sweet peppers, and banana peppers. It's named in tribute to founder Derrick Hayes' late father David, who inspired the restaurant. The Dave's Way Beef starts at $12.99 for a 6", $20.99 for a 9", and $34.99 for an 18". Chicken and salmon Dave's Way builds are also available.

Yes. Big Dave's Cheesesteaks serves hand-chopped halal beef, chicken, and salmon. All cheesesteak proteins are halal-certified. The use of halal meat has been a defining feature of the brand since its founding. For specific halal certification details at your location, contact the restaurant directly.

Big Dave's uses Amoroso's rolls -- the Philadelphia-made bread used by many of the city's legendary cheesesteak shops. Amoroso Baking Company has been baking rolls in Philadelphia since 1904, and the soft, slightly chewy rolls are widely considered a key part of an authentic Philly cheesesteak. Sizes available are 6", 9", and 18".

Big Dave's Cheesesteaks was founded by Derrick Hayes, a West Philadelphia native who relocated to Atlanta. Hayes started the business in 2014 as "Dave's Philly Water Ice" inside a 700-square-foot Shell gas station in Dunwoody, Georgia -- a tribute to his late father David, who passed away from lung cancer in 2009. Philadelphia actress Eve visited the Dunwoody location and helped spread awareness of the brand. Hayes has grown Big Dave's into a multi-location Southeast chain and a nationally recognized fast-casual brand, ranking #4 on Fast Casual's 2026 Top 100 Movers and Shakers list. Hayes is also noted for becoming the first majority Black-owned operator to crack the top 10 of that list.

Big Dave's Cheesesteaks operates locations across the Southeast United States, including multiple locations in metro Atlanta, Georgia (Doraville, Forest Park, Lawrenceville), plus locations in Charlotte, NC; Columbia, SC; and Orlando, FL. The chain also has a permanent location inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
