Then the original owner died and the owner's son took it over. The sandwiches got smaller and smaller with less and less meat, and the quality went downhill. This used to be one of our top 5 takeout meals, and it got so bad that we quit going here 2 or 3 years ago. We were 20+ year customers, but the sandwiches got so small and so expensive (they kept making the sandwiches smaller and smaller and raising the prices) we just couldn't justify it any longer. Such a sad story. I don't recommend, in fact I recommend you find a better place that gives you good value in addition to good food.

I'm going to be upfront about my bias here. I love a Philly cheesesteak, I travel through this area…read morea lot for work, and at this point I intentionally book hotels near Manassas specifically so I can end up at Philadelphia Tavern. That's not an exaggeration. It factors into where I stay. My order basically never changes. Cheesesteak, fries, a beer, and a bourbon or an Irish whiskey depending on the mood. I've had it enough times now that I'd notice if anything slipped, and it hasn't. The vibe is a big part of why I keep coming back. It's never so packed that you can't hear yourself, and there's a clear crew of regulars who are obviously here all the time. That's usually a good sign about a place, and it is here. But the food is the reason. It's to die for. I'll keep coming back as many times as humanly possible whenever work puts me in the area.

The lady who took my order was very nice and had suggestions for my meal.

The sandwich was filled to the bring I had the regular old cheesesteak, but it was seasoned well and I will return to this spot.

Looks like I hadn't gotten to reviewing Charleys, but I would've updated the 4 I would've had with…read more2-star here. I've reviewed almost every other restaurant in my local Corridor Marketplace. I've had three 3-stars here: Burger King, Bob Evan's, & Catherine's, 3 mixed bag reviews. This will mark my only truly negative Yelp review here (except China Express got 2-stars mainly because I consider it to be subpar Chinese food). My girlfriend & I were pissed at Charleys yesterday. My girlfriend & I have visited multiple times & been a few times on my own. We used to think this was a good option. We even had eaten here 2 weeks earlier on Sunday, July 26. We had a 25% off deal we were going to use on Sunday, August 10. We had a noon movie and arrived at opening time of 11 AM. First of all when we walked in, it was extremely hot in there. I know they just opened, but they should've gotten the A/C going as soon as the 1st person walked in to prep. I mentioned it to the cashier, and she said it'll cool off, but not in a reassuring way. Before we put the 25% discount in, the subtotal was $17.77 for the large chicken cheesesteak sub combo we would've split, over $18 with the tax. I said the menu shows it's $15.77. She rudely said it's the tax. I said no it's the menu shows $15.77 pointing at the menu. I said you aren't honoring the price listed on the menu, and we are walking out. We had the 25% off, but it's the principle of them not honoring the listed price on the menu. So, we ended up going to Shake Shack by AMC Columbia before our movie as we had a free chicken sandwich deal there, which was delicious. So, it'll be a long time before I'll consider going back to Charleys here in Anne Arundel County. Maybe I'll consider at Columbia Mall before or after a movie in the future or other location, but I don't generally like going to places that are near my home as I like going to places that aren't near my home like Shake Shack or Bibibop at Columbia Mall. But this is a situation where I might actually more consider a different Charleys location as I'm boycotting my local location for the timebeing. They lost potentially $100+ in future business from me; perhaps after enough time has passed a year or two, I'll maybe consider giving my Maryland City location another chance. Further, Howard County got the tax dollar from me on Sunday over my own AA County as a result of Charleys rude cashier.

If service was better at this place then it may possibly be a prime location to visit more often…read morefor food. So, I went here to get a quick bite after running a few errands. I usually would not out for something a little more healthy but I said, "hey why not." I considered it an option cause I don't mind the wings, thus my reasoning. I stopped here and grabbed Cajun wings and fries with a bottle of water. The food was decent so that's not really my complaint. It's more of the customer service, they are pretty fast but it's like a rush. I received my food to go so it wasn't a thing of me sitting there. But due to them rushing me they didn't accommodate or ask if I wanted condiments. I had no napkins in the bag and I received no ketchup or sauce for my wings. So with the closing of this yelp review essay, the food is hot, fast but the customer service struggles. Hope this helps others, please emphasize that you want napkins and condiments before you leave. The space is clean also, in case you just wanted to know.. Have a great day! DG

TRY THEIR STEAK & CHEESE!…read more * Price: Most of their main entrées range from $10-$15. I got the Steak & Cheese Sub combo, which comes with fries and a drink, for $14. * Food: I ordered the Steak & Cheese Sub combo and devoured every bite. I added every topping they had (except mushrooms and tomatoes), and the cheese was perfectly melted and extra cheesy. The meat was juicy, and the bread stayed crisp. Their baklava was also great! * Cleanliness/Setting: You can tell the place is very community-oriented and family-owned, with all the different posters and flyers up. The interior is casual and chill. * Service: I met the owner's son, George Jr., and he was great! It was my first time here, and the service was very hospitable. He checked in to make sure everything was great and gave some recommendations.

I was looking for somewhere new to try in the area and came across this place on Yelp. You can…read moredefinitely tell it's a spot for locals - so much Mason gear and rapport between the staff and customers. They even had newspapers for you to read at your table. It's in a shopping center where there is plenty of parking. Inside was clean and spacious. My boyfriend and I ended up ordering George's Special: Steak & Cheese Philly Style w/fries and the Cajun Chicken Cheese Steak w/fries. Both were good and filling. I prefer the Steak and Cheese over the Cajun Chicken though as I didn't get as much Cajun as I was hoping for. I loved how crispy the fries were and amused by the length of some - you could do battle with some of them! It's a charming place serving great value. I wouldn't mind revisiting them.

It's a simple order, grab your food, and go spot, so there are no tables or seating. It was clean inside, though. Food: 5 stars. This is probably the best cheesesteak in this area of Maryland. The meat was actually seasoned and still juicy, and you can see that in my photos. It was piled onto a toasted roll with grilled onions, and the Cooper Sharp cheese brought up the rear and took the flavor to the next level. Every bite was flavorful. If I'm ever in the area again, I'm coming back.
