COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks owners, Kiara and Marc Brown, are bringing “A Taste of Philly” to Columbia with authentic ingredients including original Amoroso rolls, quality steak and Cooper sharp cheese.

They opened in Columbia and plan to expand to Greenville and across South Carolina, while also growing the menu with staples like egg rolls plus limited-time offers.

Located in a college town, Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks offers a 10% student discount with ID and hearty cheesesteaks pitched as a memorable tailgate alternative to wings and burgers.

The Browns say they want every bite to be a flavor explosion of pure happiness and joy.
