Big Dave's Cheesesteaks

"Big Dave’s is one of the best places in the city to grab a cheesesteak, and their Forsyth Street location is only four blocks from State Farm Arena (and there are stalls in Mercedes Benz Stadium, too). You could conceivably eat a three-cheese-topped Dave’s Way cheesesteak and fries and still walk to the venue. But then again, we’re talking about a sandwich that’s liberally piled with cheese, delicious ribeye, onions, mushrooms, and peppers. Are you really going to walk? Should you opt for something lighter, salmon egg rolls make sense. With an order of these gently fried bites, some fries, and the chili dipping sauce, we’re always satisfied and a little more buoyant for the walk down Decatur Street." - demarco williams, juli horsford, nina reeder

"Owned by Atlanta restaurateur Derrick Hayes, Big Dave’s on Forsyth Street serves up messy and meaty cheesesteaks on its menu. Try the Dave’s Way beef or salmon cheesesteak stuffed with three types of cheese, sweet peppers and banana peppers, mushrooms, and onions. Make sure to order the cheesesteak egg rolls here, too." - Eater Staff

"When our Cheese Whiz craving hits peak levels, we head downtown to Big Dave's flagship location (there's also one inside Mercedes Benz) to get our fix. There are protein options like chicken and salmon, but we usually do the original beef and order it “Dave’s Way.” That gets you onions, mushrooms, green peppers, and sweet banana peppers all melded together with american cheese, provolone, and of course Cheez Whiz. The long Amoroso’s roll hailing from Philly takes it over the edge. " - juli horsford

"Big Dave’s continues to dominate Atlanta’s cheesesteak scene, serving up messy and meaty cheesesteaks on the menu. For something a bit more compact and portable, order the hand-rolled egg rolls stuffed with gooey cheese, onions, and a choice of beef, chicken, or salmon." - Beth McKibben
