    Some kind of processed cheese was placed on the roll, not mixed with the steak
    Gina Marie S.

    Found this spot on #Yelp as I'm out in Garner, say 45-minutes away. A Taste of Philly 4 U had good reviews (and directions on how to locate them in a lil strip center). As a South Jersey girl, I'd love to find a Philly cheesesteak that tastes like home. I've been looking. Well, I'm still looking. Was greeted warmly by Ms. T, who provided excellent service. Decent menu choices. Despite being known for their cheesesteak, it did not meet my expectations. Steak didn't taste high quality, processed cheese was stuck to the roll and not mixed in, and grease dripped all over the second plate I was offered after it pooled into the wax paper in the serving basket. Pepsi products I think I'm good; I'll check out some other places on my travels.

    Love this place, the food, the owner, and the new male worker. A bit hard to find but worth the time to find it.

    I really played peek a boo with this restaurant but I finally found it! Haha. So keep following the GPS so you too can get literally have the best cheesesteak you've ever tried. I always feel a little anxious going into a new place but man these people are so welcoming. I felt like a regular within 5 mins of being inside. I got a 8" cheesesteak and y'all it's the sweet peppers and that meat that's so dag um good. They will soon be having a breakfast bar to my understanding which sounds amazing and I will definitely be back to try that.

    This food truck puts out some amazing Philly sandwiches. The sweet young lady who helped us with our order was even able to accommodate with a custom veggie cheesesteak! The chicken Philly was really tasty and the half-size sandwich is huge.

    Best Philly in garner! Love love love this place

    Been wanting to check out these guys for awhile but could never catch their truck close to me…read more Today I hit it up on my lunch hour and after looking over the menu i went with the classic philly. I havent been to Philadelphia for awhile but this was definitely in the ball park of a legit Cheesesteak and one of the best ive had. Some purists might not say its authentic, but it had the right roll, wit wiz and it was delicious so that works for me. The "Philly" had plenty of meat and wasnt too greasy that would have made it fall apart. Kings is doing a great service to the community by making these available to the triangle so you need to go do your part and eat one right now.

    Not my favorite cheese steak and certainly not freshly shaved ribeye, but a nice food truck. When…read morewe questioned the owners about their cheese steak they claimed to be all Philly and more but what we discovered was not all Philly. Sadly the bread of choice was not my favorite amoroso and the whiz was really runny. Now don't get me wrong the sub was still delicious but just not worthy to claim the title authentic. For me to be authentic one must have the right bread, the right thickness of cheese whiz, fresh cut vegetables and the freshly shaved rib eye beef. The problem was none of this was right. Their veggies were canned mushrooms cut peppers and onion. The meat was frozen probably Philly steak or steakums. Finally the sauce was just way off. One could possibly drink the fat off of their sub. Certainly not the best and would only try this again out of desperation.

Over the past 3 weeks, I've noticed a steady decline in service and food quality. Please note I've ordered from here 8-10 times in that span, with dining in 3 times and Door Dashing 5-7 times. I can go back to my receipts but I made this place my go-to. One of the days I walked in to order and the guy flatly told me all subs were toasted when I asked if I could get mine toasted. Seemed a little uncalled for with the tone. The last visit onsite, the presentation from my first time (sub is spread open when served) had gotten worse. The tomatoes were noticeably smaller. My last door dash order from yesterday, I had a blonde hair in my sub. I do not have hair and it wouldn't be blonde, if so. It was mixed in as well. I threw the rest of my sub away. This is actually the second business on this strip I've found hair in my food. I don't complain, I just don't eat there anymore. But the fact I can notice a difference in service and food quality within 3 weeks is INSANE. At this point, I do not recommend this place.

    A friend suggested that I try Cloos', and what great advice that turned out to be. Cloos' brings…read morethe feel of Northern short-order stands, grills, and diners to the NC State area. I had lunch there on Thursday--and liked it so much that I went back again on Friday. Two days in a row. One word of caution: this is a true short-order grill. Everything is freshly made to order, and they are often very busy. You will not get your food as quickly as you would at a fast-food place like McDonald's or Wendy's. If you are in a big hurry, head west on Western Boulevard to McDonald's, Bojangles, Wendy's, or Cook Out--all places I patronize--but they are not the same type of venue. Cloos' Coney Island is a hot dog and classic American comfort food restaurant that has been operating in Raleigh since 1988, with strong ties to the NC State student community and local residents. According to their own signage and social pages, they proudly market themselves as "An Original Detroit Hot Dog Stand, Est. 1988." The restaurant is decorated like a classic diner or luncheonette. White tile gives a clean, bright feel, paired with black checkerboard accents. The décor is reminiscent of original White Castle, White Diamond, and Waffle House locations. There's even a Sopranos-themed pinball machine. Seating includes a lunch counter with round revolving stools and 1950s-style dinette tables and chairs. On Thursday, I ordered a Coney Dog and French fries. With the exception of the Chicago Dog, their hot dogs are 90 percent beef, with the remainder pork products. The Coney Dog is their specialty, served on a steamed bun with chili, mustard, and onions--try it; you'll love it. The fries are excellent--thin, string-style fries like McDonald's used to make years ago. My friend had the Chicago Dog, a Vienna all-beef frank customized with Carolina flair, adding slaw atop their Coney Dog toppings. They have a soda fountain with Coke products, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and both sweet and unsweet tea. As a fun detail, there's a Coca-Cola CLASSIC sign near the fountain--perfectly fitting for a place established in the late '80s. Because they offer both tea and lemonade, they list Arnold Palmers (sweet or unsweet) on the menu. They also offer bottled water and a selection of domestic and premium bottled beers. On Friday, I went alone, sat at the counter, and ordered the Philly Cheesesteak--listed on their menu as one of their signature items, and now I know why. I chose steak with green peppers and onions and added mushrooms for a small extra charge. I don't care for mustard (a Midwest thing) or mayonnaise (a Southern thing) on my cheesesteaks. When I worked in Philadelphia and ate at Pat's and the street carts, I always had ketchup on the bun. At Cloos', I dipped both my cheesesteak and fries into genuine Heinz ketchup from glass bottles--outstanding. I liked the fries so much the day before that I ordered another small order. Growing up in New Jersey, a root beer with a cheesesteak just felt right--even though I rarely drink soda. Some pairings are simply meant to be. The staff are great--nice, patient, and constantly engaging with customers. There's an ongoing conversation about everything, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy their work, their coworkers, and their customers. If you're expecting service with a deep Southern accent, this might not be the place--but the warmth and authenticity more than make up for it. Needless to say, I plan to go back. Two five-star experiences, back-to-back.

    This spot has been open since 1988, and I've been coming, off and on, since the early 90's.

Went to all 4 on this trip! Like the other 3, this spot is showing its age and the service tends to be a bit out of the "fast food" range, but they still put out some solid burgers, hot dogs, and FFs. My favorites are the Chicago Dog, the Carolina Cheeseburger, the Kraut Dog, and their Fries! I also like that you can get a beer.
