Derrick Hayes, a West Philadelphia native, serves as Founder and CEO of the company and continues to successfully intertwine authentic traditional Philadelphia cuisine and family-like atmosphere into the fabric of the restaurant. Patrons rave about popular menu items like beef, chicken, and salmon cheesesteak egg rolls and also praise Big Dave’s modern take on the Philadelphia classic with entrees like the “Dave’s Way” Cheesesteak.
