We celebrated a coworkers birthday with cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks from Carl's today. Absolutely delicious and fabulous food. We ordered it over the phone and picked up for lunch. The food was ready on time and hot. Every sandwich was labeled for easy designation of who got what. And a special Happy Birthday message on the guest of honors cheesesteak. We added our own candle on it, LOL. Thank you for making our day. We will recommend Carl's Corner to everyone we meet. Try it out! You'll be glad you did. read more

Carl's Corner - We split a full size cheese steak. - Delis Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

I loved Carls Corner for years and have turned many friends on to them, but not anymore. I was recently there with a friend. I ordered a full size hoagie, drink, and small cheese fry. The cheese on the fries was watered down. The hoagie was mostly bread. Less than half the meat they used to put in it, and it was just under $28. For that price I'll go to a restaurant. Top dollar pricing for bargain basement food. Such a disappointment. This used to be the go to place for hoagies. read more

So I was told so many times that this spot is THE spot to grab a cheesesteak. Naturally I had to make my way in and give it a shot. I loved the old time feel of the place and the old school style menu's and everything...this is usually a sign of really solid food to come. Unfortunately those two didn't equate here. Not bad, not what everyone said it was going to be. Honestly this just ended up being similar to a pizza shop cheesesteak. The meat was alright but pretty dry, definitely could have used more cheese. The rolls were okay...reminded me of frozen amoroso rolls you get from a broadliner like US Foods. I think people partially love these because they're quite large and partially due to nostalgia from it being a spot they've eaten their whole lives. Certainly wouldn't say it sucked, but it was only okay. I may give them another shot sometime, but it was slow the day I went and plenty of people working so I can't imagine a scenario where I go back and get one so much better. read more

Food is always great, cheese fries are always phenomenal.. when I first came here and got the chicken cheesesteak, i was not aware that it would have marinara sauce so It kind of scared me, lol.. but it was really good. They also have nice dog treats to buy at the front and they definitely take their time making your food properly! Service good and ambience is relaxing never too busy during dinner read more

Came back here again while passing through town, and it was even better than the first time! The hot peppers on the pepper steak is the way to go. Everything was ready when I came to pick up. 10/10. Love this place and wish I could bring it home with me. read more

We have ordered several times since the new owners took over. Sadly, we have noticed consistent decrease of consisting and quality. Orders are incorrect, today ordered a large pierogi and received 2. The fries have changed, and pickles on the cheesesteak are very thick, ordered extra and may have received 3 on a jumbo. It's extremely disappointing as it was stressed customers wouldn't see change. Ive called each time to bring the disappointment directly to the workers/managers, but driving back 20min to get the right amount of pierogi's isn't worth the gas. Just wish there was pride remaining in making sure the customer gets exactly what they order and checking the order to ensure that is the case. read more

Never ate there until my husband ordered our dinner, and was very impressed with the food, I got a cheese steak which I loved, and was made right and my husband an Italian sub which he also enjoyed! We'll be ordering again. read more

A solid 3! Was really looking to get a cheesesteak in PA and here for college softball playoffs. This was highly recommended by another family from Jersey that know this town pretty well. Street parking In a residential location and it's in a converted house. Small but decent. Really nice staff that was overstaffed by far for late lunch in my opinion but they were really characters and it was fun to watch them and get a feel for the people of this town! We ordered regular cheesesteak sandwiches and a fry to split. Why would you put pickles on a cheesesteak?? I opted for not. Wife got the pickles and red sauce. All come with grilled onions too! I liked it but the wife said I make better cheese steaks. Was pretty good though. I'd eat there again but not seek it out next time. read more

Carl's Corner used to be a decent cheese steak in the Lehigh Valley but now with the change of meat this happens to be the WORST cheese steak I've EVER had. please go back to the original meet. read more

Love this place. Food is amazing. Great vibes and great service. Every sandwich I've had from here has been fire, even just a simple tuna sub. Highly recommend. read more

Great service, and always consistent. A very good example of a Lehigh Valley cheesesteak. Not the best cheesesteak in the land in my opinion, yet still good and consistent. The Italian hoagie is a wonderful value. A large plus a soda for under $13 is a remarkable value! read more

We ordered about $50,00 worth of food to be delivered at 6:00 in the evening. It was right on time. The food was left outside our front door, which was a surprise. The best surprise was that it was a container of spaghetti with sauce. Not what we ordered. I called them and they did not even care they could not do any thing about it. We will never again order anything from there again. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED read more

Great bread, great veggies, and good meat. Carl's Corner has about 6 booths to sit in first come, first serve. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is only counter service, but they have a large menu. I loved the large selection of A-Treat 20 oz. bottles and the food menu. I got a cheesesteak hoagie with mayo and oil and vinegar. Yum! read more

Visiting from out of town and wanted to try something local with coworkers. This place did not disappoint. We all got the Philly cheesesteak which for this part of town means topped with marina and pickles. It was awesome! We also did the onion rings and curly fries. The whole thing rocked. The staff was super friendly. read more

Cheesesteaks were fairly standard as far as Lehigh Valley Cheesesteaks go. I would have liked more cheese and have it distributed throughout the sandwich. I feel like it was only on the bottom of the cheesesteak. If I'm in the Moravian College area it's not a bad place to grab a CS, but it's not a cheesesteak destination like SMP Mini Mart in Whitehall for example. read more

Food really good! I've heard tons of ppl rave about it so we gave it a try. Delivery was timely & near and delivery guy was so so nice and polite. I had a wrap and my husband had a hoagie and we had fries... all were really good! read more

got a cheesesteak and it was so good loaded with lots of meat and great cheese also it was given to me very quick so the service is very good too read more

Excellent chopped steak sandwich. Fresh and hearty roll, lots of steak meat and delicious hot peppers and red sauce. Very good prices too. Nostalgic looking place, I suspect a renovation is in their future and us locals will miss the dates yet charming decor. Enjoy an A-Treat with your sandwich or hoagie. read more

Looks like they are open - I was afraid they were closing the doors!! Always have delicious meals from there - subs and cheesesteaks. Kids love their wraps. read more

I haven't been here in awhile, the food was great and the quality is consistent. The best part of the experience was listening to the lady answering the phones for to-go orders. Not sure of her name, however her voice and manners were the most genuine pleasant voice I've ever heard answering busy phones. read more

Very good, quick and easy food, anytime of day. A local favorite spot with friendly staff.

Hi, I've been coming to Carl's corner for the last 10 years, sadly the quality of the food lately has been horrible! Today was probably the last time I'll ever order from this place again, the prices have increased basically on everything , and the food that I ordered today put me over the edge!!! The fries were so saturated with grease they were not even edible, I'm not sure if it's the new owners trying to save a buck but the food is not the same, bring back the Carl's corner where the food was good and enjoyable! read more

Decent steak and hoagie / sub place. VERY reasonable. NO FRILLS. It's great for a quick bite and you'll have a few bucks left over in your pocket. They're pretty quick too. They do make steaks "Lehigh Valley" style if you will and put tomato sauce and pickles on them, which is fine. If you like the Philly style more and want prov or wiz, you might have to ask as I haven't seen that there, but they might. When I get a sub / steak I do really measure a lot by the bread, and they typically have a nice soft and crusty roll. One guy I go with asks for extra Mayo because he loves the taste (I suspect it's extra heavy mayo)...but kids enjoy everything here too. Nothing is over spiced or too salty. It's mild tasting. It's worth a stop for sure and you'll be satisfied. read more

Fantastic chicken cheesesteak. Very popular so call ahead if you can. Mozzarella sticks were ok and the pierogis are Mrs Ts so probably not worth it since you can get hem yourself at the grocery for cheaper. read more

Probably the worst roll ever on my Turkey hoagie. Fries were cold. Just threw it all in the trash. Bunch of goofballs working there too. Plenty of other options in town. read more

Was looking for a place for cheesesteaks in my area, Carls came up with 4.7 stars and pretty great reviews. I got a regular cheesesteak and pirogies. The roll was great, soft, fresh and held all the juices without getting soggy. The cheesesteak was good, could've used more sauce. The only thing is the regular fries were incredibly bland. Would definitely go back though read more

Holy crap! What a great choice! I found this place while walking the neighborhood. Super super friendly and gracious. Busy on a Saturday at 5 30, but they KNOW how to keep it moving. The food is good. I only "like" cheesesteaks in general, so I'm no expert, but the bread was crunchy and the toppings were perfect. Fries were golden and crispy. And the staff....again...how refreshing to give my money to pleasant friendly people!!! read more

Very horrible service! First off I asked if they remembered me and they laughed rudely in my face claiming "they don't remember anyone." Second, they got my order completely wrong. I asked for just extra cheese and meat on my cheesesteak, they put sauce, pickles, and onions on my cheesesteak without even asking if that was okay. I would never come back to this place again. read more

I had the perogies, cheesesteak, curly fries and all were delicious. Amazing hospitality and great food. I definitely recommend if your in the area. read more

First time customer. This place is amazing. Stopped in and got the cheesesteak sub, got the whole because I didn't know the sizes. This sub was a monster, I had to push myself to eat half. It was delish!! The ladies were all nice, and the cook he was quiet but man he can cook some great food. read more

Okay, so this was my first real deal east coast cheesesteak (unless you count the one I got from Wawa - which I now know sucked). So I decided it was time to complete my girl scouts official PA badge. I've been to the Wawa, I'm officially a Yuengling fan, I love the special dark pretzels, now I needed a real cheesesteak. My husband and I wandered into Carl's around 3 pm on a Saturday. Almost every booth was occupied, a little surprising since it was such an awkward time. We placed our order with the friendly clerk behind the meat case. Saturday was a good day for a giant cheesesteak with pickled peppers, a regular sweet Italian sausage sub, and an order of regular curly fries. Our order was called out by the clerk and my husband walked to the "pick up" sign and paid for and received our order. I'm not gonna lie, I loved it. The cheesesteak automatically comes with marinara sauce as well as pickles... Next time I'll skip on doubling up pickled items on my sandwich. The cheesesteak does not have cheese whiz, to my delight, but hey - I was willing to do the full deal. The cheese is probably a mozzarella or possibly a provolone. The bread is perfect! I was worried my sandwich would fall apart or have soggy bread, it absolutely didn't. My husband also really enjoyed the cheesesteak, but liked the Italian sausage sandwich more! Note: the fried onions in this place are not deep fried, think non-breaded pan-fried. So, I'm not a huge fan on the interior nor the way the sandwiches looked... But neither of those things will stop me from eating here again. Guilt is probably the only thing stopping me from eating lunch here every single day. Carl's looks like a regular hangout for Moravian College students, about 50% of the customers were sporting Moravian shirts. read more

Carls Corner, one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite to eat. make a great sandwich and you can't beat the board special! Staff is always nice and on their game. If you're a regular they know what you want and how you want it . If you have never tried them, give them a shot. I don't think you will be disappointed. Cheeseburger sub and pierogi's or a chicken cheese steak. Guaranteed to bring you back read more

Love Carl's Corner! Food's always good! Staff thanked me for what I do (was in work scrubs for local ER). An gave me a discount as a bonus. Thanks for taking care of your customers! read more

Since my initial review I've eaten here a few more times and overall things definitely get an A+ for consistency. The fries have been good, the cheese has been more prevalent while the roll is still the star of the show. The only two things that keep this place from being a five star review for me are that number one the parking around the place is atrocious and number two a lot of times they tell you 10 minutes only to take closer to 15-20 if they are busy and there really is nowhere to wait as the inside is normally very busy. read more

This is one of my favorite steak shops! The steaks are somewhat reminiscent of j's steaks and subs but soooo much better! Try the curly fries and the pirogies, so crispy!!! I wish they had more value pricing on the menu tho bring back a mix or match 3 for $20 steak/sub that would be awesome! read more

This is without a doubt, the best cheesesteak in the valley. They always have a lot of staff on duty and everyone is friendly. It's a bit of a small dining area but in my opinion, it adds to the charm. Fantastic everything. A++ read more

Wow, wow, wow. Today our EMS crew stopped here for lunch. This has to be, by far, the best place we've eaten and just can not beat the prices. The food was made fresh, in front of us, the fries are amazing, the service is fast and the people there are friendly. Even the other patrons are absolutely friendly. This will be put at the top of a short list for places to go for lunch. Also, even though it seemed busy, we were in and out in 10 minutes. I can't wait to go back and try something new! read more

Very good hoagie. Decent amount of meat. Bread was excellent. Prices were competitive. And service was great.
