    Ordered delivery and thought it was good! We tried the Dave's way and the classic. I thought the meat was nice and tender! It had great flavor with all the fixings to it! Also ordered fries that were cooked to a great consistency! Definitely would order from them again when craving a cheesesteak

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Stasio's is absolutely worth checking out if you're looking for an authentic Italian deli…read moreexperience. From the moment we walked in, the staff at the front entrance was incredibly welcoming and even took the time to show us around the market. The ambience feels like a neighborhood Italian shop, with shelves lined with imported products from Italy that make it fun to browse while you wait. It's a small, casual space that feels authentic rather than overly polished. We ordered the Italian sub with sun-dried tomatoes instead of the standard toppings, along with the chicken cutlet sandwich with vodka sauce. Both sandwiches had excellent flavor and tasted fresh. The sun-dried tomatoes were a great addition to the Italian, although I do think it could have used a little more meat. Considering the price, I expected it to be a bit more generously filled. The chicken cutlet sandwich was delicious overall, but the cutlet itself was a little dry. I asked for extra sauce, and initially the employee seemed reluctant and tried to charge me for it. After I showed him how dry the sandwich was, he gave me the sauce, which made a huge difference and brought the sandwich together. That interaction was really my only service-related critique. Overall, the quality of the ingredients is excellent, the sandwiches are satisfying, and the market has a unique charm you don't find at most sandwich shops. While it's definitely on the pricier side, the authentic atmosphere and quality make it a place I'd happily come back to. I'd love to work my way through more of the menu on future visits.

    After a 10 mile hike at Orlando Wetlands, I was ready to eat. I'd read about Stasio's on some…read more"best sandwich" lists and decided it was time to try it out. I will be going there after every Saturday hike forever more. The lists did not lie. Stasio's delivered the best sandwiches I have had in Florida. Walking in, I must have looked confused because I heard a knowing voice ask if it was my first time in. I admitted that it was and a delightful employee walked over to me to show me around. Stasio's has a deli counter, a coffee counter, and several shelves with Italian foods. I quickly learned that sandwiches are ordered at the deli and brought out to the waiting area when ready. Coffee is ordered at a cash register and the coffee is poured or prepared after purchase. Any prepared foods, together with sandwiches and fresh bread, are paid for at one of two registers. Despite the crowd -- and it was crazy busy -- everything was remarkably efficient and the staff showed no sign of stress. I ordered an Egg and Pepper sandwich and a Caprese Sandwich. Bread is made onsite and it was as fresh and delicious. (I ordered a loaf of Semolina/Italian bread and brought it home, where it was eaten within a few hours. At $4.99 for a loaf, it is an amazing value and a great treat!). Both the egg and pepper and the Caprese were prepared simply and to perfection. Fresh ingredients pack a lot of flavor and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Amazingly, I don't think Stasio's adds any fats to their sandwiches -- The egg in the egg and pepper, and the mozzarella in the Caprese do all the work. There are seats at a bar along the front window and a few tables outside, but I chose to eat in my car. At a peak time (like Noon on a Saturday), there was not a lot of available seating but it did seem that chairs opened up fairly quickly. After a 10 mile hike, I just did not think it was fair to anyone who might be seated next to me to have to sit next to me! No photos but others have shared enough that you can picture the experience!

First, the staff deserves credit--their energy and kindness were 10/10. The person I interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The food itself was good, but I was disappointed that my order was made incorrectly. I specifically asked for only tomatoes and pickles on my burger, but it came with cheese and a sauce. Luckily, I was planning to eat just the patty, so I was able to rinse it off, but if I had intended to eat it as a regular burger, it would have completely ruined the meal as the bun was covered in the sauce. My sub was excellent, and I appreciated the staff's sauce recommendations. However, I was surprised that the homemade sauce came with a $1.10 charge for each side of sauce--that feels pretty excessive. To make matters worse, I didn't even receive one of the sauces I paid for. I understand they are homemade but it is a 1.5 oz container... My biggest disappointment, though, was the chips. It may sound minor, but when a meal is priced and advertised as a complete meal, you'd expect a reasonable portion. The "side" of chips was literally about seven whole chips' worth, mostly crushed into pieces. It was especially disappointing when compared to the portion of fries. Overall, the food has a lot of potential, and the staff was fantastic, but the incorrect order, extra sauce charges, missing sauce, and tiny chip portion really took away from the experience. My advice: upgrade the chips so you actually get a side, double-check your order before you leave (even if there's no one else in there) , and be aware that the sauces cost extra.

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).

I originally ordered sausage, egg, and cheese, but then I saw the bacon, egg, and cheese and asked whether I could switch it. The gentleman behind the counter said they could do both, then asked whether I wanted to add a hash brown too. Obviously, I said yes. He told me they would make basically anything I wanted as long as they had the ingredients, and I absolutely loved that energy. The sandwich was huge, super cheesy, messy in the best way, and packed with sausage, bacon, egg, and a crispy hash brown. It was a very generous portion and completely worth the price.
