Worst cheesesteak ever! Been to Philadelphia many times they would be ashamed of the name here! It was so bad you didn't taste the meat just the mushrooms! A true cheesesteak sandwich has an amoroso roll and loaded with meat! This was tasteless! Wasted money! read more

Charleys Cheesesteaks - SMALL CHICKEN CALIFORNIA, SMALL CHICKEN PHILLY - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Escondido, California

For a food court spot, Charley's absolutely delivered! I had the classic steak Philly cheesesteak with everything, and honestly? It was so good. The bread was fresh, the shaved steak was flavorful, and the veggies were perfectly cooked, not soggy, not raw, just right. Every bite felt like way more than you'd expect from a mall stand. My partner got the buffalo wings and said they were cooked just right and had a solid kick from the buffalo sauce without being overwhelming. And the fries? So fresh. They're thicker than your standard fast food fries (but not chunky potato wedges), and they hit the spot. The ranch was cold, creamy, and--yes--very ranchy in the best way. This is definitely going to be a go-to for us when we're at the mall. Quick, delicious, and totally satisfying. read more

Got a #2 combo Cheesesteak was good. Cheese on the fries were a bit sad. Strawberry lemonade with fresh strawberries was good, on the sweet side (refill for $1 or free if you get regular lemonade) Skip the $2 boneless wings add on. Service was very good. (I was the only one in line on a Saturday night, maybe the price is a bit steep compared to the other food options which were quite packed) read more

I love how friendly this place is. The cashier is always kind & even recognizes repeat customers. The sandwiches are soooo delicious & hit the spot. read more

Don't think I will be coming back to this place again. The combo is tiny. Even with paying extra for old school steak sandwich, the meat on there is very limited. Very small amount of fries too. It's not worth the money in my opinion. Service is okay, nothing to comment about. I went back and asked and confirm if this is the right amount of meat, they said yes. No actions after, but I wasn't expecting any actions either. read more

I'm giving one star because of the deceptive menu. The small cheesesteak I ordered was listed on the menu as $9.36, but when the cashier rang me up it was $11.27 - practically $2 more! The cashier said there was no way to alter the amount the machine required. Obviously, the price on the menu needs to be exactly the same as what's charged. Even if the difference is $0.15 off that's not acceptable, but a whole $2 is pretty ridiculous. read more

The food was great but that's expected of cheesecake. Ambiance is always good too but the service here was atrocious! We came here for a quick happy hour and it was not busy at all. Literally more staff than people. We waited forever to order then when you needed anything or a refill, you had to wait 10-15 minutes for the group of employees that were all at the side of the bar just chatting having fun, cracking jokes. It was very annoying. Some people are in a rush and got things to do. What kind of manager on duty allows this behavior to have 4-5 employees all standing next to the bar and laughing and joking about while customers are waiting for their refills and check. We decided we did not want dessert and just to leave because of this bad service. I still left a standard 15% tip even though it was unnecessary. Won't be coming back to this location. At one point 5 employees were just chilling. But I took a pic of the main 3 that decided to not take their shifts seriously and to just chit chat at work all day. read more

The website made everything look awesome! Unfortunately, what you actually get is disappointment. Not being able to tell which sub is buffalo chicken (opposed to steak) tells me they were made very poorly. I saw one drop of buffalo sauce. They didn't add ranch as requested. Fiesta fries didn't have cheese. Didn't even get the plain fries we ordered, or the cheese sauce sides. Or napkins. Or a straw for the drink. In summary: 3/3 subs were wrong to some extent and sad looking. Missing fries. Bad experience. read more

Charleys Cheesesteaks - Saddest buffalo chicken ever. One piece of chicken (near center) has slight amount of buffalo sauce. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Escondido, California

I ordered the Veggie Delight, almost all shredded lettuce insted of the extra veggies. I sent feedback to the company, but no response. I didn't ask for or expect anything except acknowledgment that they would take my feedback seriously, but no response at all. Too many other options to ever consider them again. read more

They skipped my order and did 8 orders before mine. I waited for at least 30 minutes. I understand that the service industry is hard, especially because I work in it currently and have had my worst day ever just yesterday. I was still polite but it's frustrating that this happened to me the day after that horrid work day for me. I admit the food is good, and I don't fully blame the workers. It didn't come up on the screen for them apparently. But I did have to tell them twice about my skipped order before they started it. read more

Charleys Cheesesteaks - CHICKEN PHILLY - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Escondido, California

I get Charley's nearly every week on Wednesdays, since I always visit the mall on Wednesdays. I made it a "tradition" of sorts. After a while, however, I would go to order my food (anytime between 12-2), and for maybe a whole month, whenever I went to the food court, there was no one working around. I'd wait for a few minutes, and not one person would come out the back. That was really disappointing, and I was super frustrated, especially since there was no sign up explaining what was going on. However, a little while ago they started back up, and they've been better than ever. Not exactly anything to especially applaud, but nowadays, that's all you need: a restaurant doing its job, and doing it well. There have been a few occasions where the staff has particularly impressed me, just in their demeanor and sweetness. But I really recommend Charley's. I eat here VERY often, and since that month of not knowing what was going on, I've had good experiences all around. read more

I had high hopes for this place, and it failed me. One area where they definitely excel is their customer service, but the food is sub-par. As a Domino's employee who makes philly steaks as a side dish, I was eager to try a philly steak from a "real" philly steak place, but I was unimpressed. For me, a "real" philly place should not rely on additional toppings like banana peppers or pickles or mayo to taste good, but in my opinion it's only worth eating with the banana peppers. Also mushrooms were lacking. The chicken sandwich sample was amazing, but that's not their main dish. read more

Charleys Cheesesteaks - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Escondido, California

We were walking around the food court trying to decide what to eat and this friendly guy asked if we'd like a sample of one of their chicken subs (#2 can't remember the name). It was really tasty so we decided to eat here. I ordered the #8 which was a steak philly with grilled onions, jalapeños, and white American cheese. The sandwiches come in 3 sizes small, regular, large (I think) I had a regular (see picture). If you do a combo you get the choice to upgrade to cheese fries or plain and you get a medium drink. Choices are regular, strawberry or blueberry lemonade, soda or iced tea. The staff was very friendly, food was exactly as ordered; hot, fresh and FAST! They also asked if I'd like mayo, lettuce and tomato on it. We made a good choice selecting this place to eat today. Highly recommend. read more

Orders take forever and then they get it wrong, you would think since all the workers are on their phones all the time they could at least get an order right every once and a while??? read more

I went there today thinking it was going to be the great sandwich I usually have in the Temecula mall location, but when I got my sandwich I noticed there were no pickles no green peppers barely any onions! I asked the girl named Jessica ans she responded with an attitude and said we only put tomatoes and lettuce on it unless you ask? excuse me but if the mente says it comes with grilled bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, pickles, lettuce and tomatoes, why do I need to ask? This is the stupidest response I ever heard! Instead of apologizing for the inconvenience of not doing her job she gives a very poor excuse that would make the customer more upset!! The sandwich was cold and over not warm and tasty like they make in temecula location. She also said they all do things different! I'm like why would they do things different if this is a franchise. The food is not cheap and it's poorly made at this location just be aware. I will not eat here again. I don't mi d paying for good food but don't like it when restaurants try to skimp on food and their service. read more

MAKE SURE YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!! Went to this place for lunch yesterday, and ordered the Chicken Philly sandwich they had on special. Chicken Philly comes with chicken, cheese, mushrooms, green pepper and onion. When my sandwich was served, it had only chicken, cheese and onion. I asked why the other ingredients weren't on the sandwich, and was told, "We're out of'em." Excuse me? When I placed my order, the person behind the register didn't bother to tell me they were out of some of the ingredients for the sandwich I wanted. Had they done so, I would have changed my order - or gone elsewhere to get something different. So I took the finished sandwich back to the register to let the person know there needed to be some adjustment on the price, to reflect the missing ingredients - or they needed to refund the meal completely, and they could keep the sandwich. The guy said, "Would you like us to re-make it for you?" And I said, "You don't have all the ingredients, so why would I want it re-made the same way I'm complaining about now?" Then he apologized and offered me a coupon for a free sandwich the next time I came in. Absolutely NO concern or interest in the fact that I'd just been charged for something I hadn't gotten - and they shouldn't have offered for sale, if they didn't have everything needed to make it. Nor was I told at the time I ordered, that they were out of key ingredients. At that point, I insisted my order be refunded immediately - and they could keep the sandwich. The guy behind the counter, grudgingly refunded my money. Unbelievable! They would have gladly charged me full price for a meal that they KNEW was incomplete - and didn't think the customer would notice - or if the customer DID notice, wouldn't have the nerve to complain or question it. Seriously? My complaint was NOT about the food. It was about the DECEPTION. When I place an order for something, I expect to get what I ordered. If it's not available the way it's advertised, I expect to be told - NOT charged for something I wasn't getting, in the hope I wouldn't notice! There was absolutely NO concept that what they'd done, was wrong. I WILL NOT BE BACK! read more

Not bad. I had a regular Philly cheesesteak which tasted fine. Good amount of meat, veggies tasted fresh and bread was soft with a nice toasty exterior. A little bit on the pricey side though. I paid about $12 for the sandwich, fries and drink. Counters were a little messy but service was friendly. Wouldn't exactly be my first choice in this food court but I would eat here again. read more

What a RIP off! I took the photo before I touched it, still on counter. I told the young man that it was absurd to think they could charge $10 for that sandwich. My husband joked and said they should buy a smaller roll. I won't be going back. Not worth the money, and bland read more

Charleys Cheesesteaks - Terrible philly steak - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Escondido, California

The lady who prepared my food has bad attitude. Very Poor Customer Service. At the cashier, I told the guy that id like my food with no vegetables, just purely meat, bread & whatever sauce they will put on the sandwich. I paid $18+..when i was at the food preparation section, I asked the 2 girls if the food they're preparing was for me, they put already vegetables on the bread, but still cooking the steak. I told them if that was my order, I dont like vegetables. maybe the guy cashier forgot to take down notes on my order..when I told the 2 ladies they have to take out the lettuce/tomatoes, the one lady showed bad attitude already..What the heck? Why should you show bad attitude to customer whose helping you of your sale that night? Aren't you happy you can save lettuce and tomatoes? Didn't hear any apologies from them. Continue Showing she's not happy taking out the vegetables on the bread until she finished packing my food. No thank you, no nothing! If she's not happy with her job, she shouldn't be there. If she's tired with her job, then she should quit. Be aware of this kind of poor customer service. read more

HORRIBLE!!!! Don't waste your money. Too pricey for the quality. And MISLEADING ADVERTISING Fries are the worse I've ever tasted. read more

Definitely never eating here again. The bread was gross, soft, and wet. Ruined my whole day. The ultimate fries weren't as good as I thought they'd be and the portion was small. Super false advertising too. None of the pictures look like the sandwich they give you. read more

I was very sad with this place... Cheese steak sandwich was ok but the service really Sucked... The guy didn't cut the sandwich as he pulled apart... the cheese was not put on the sandwich but melted on the wrapper.... the sandwich was thrown half in the box and half out as the stuffing fell out .. the guy looked so unhappy and very rude I will not recommended this place at all even though is has great rating on Google... don't go and save urself from the terrible service and just ok sandwich. read more

love to eat here, came in & they were visibly understaffed but they were very apologetic, they were very kind & tried to get everyones orders out quickly (: read more

Not that good. Didn't have good peices or enough lettuce. Just ok nit good or the best I've had. Maybe the speed overtook caring to make my food because it just seemed thrown together. The customer service wasn't good at all. The guy taking our order was a bit rude when all I asked was what was the difference between regular and gourmet. Not coming back. read more

Honestly the only positive thing about this place was their strawberry lemonade, their sampler, & the sample itself. They should have that young kid that hands out the sample as their cashier OR get him to a fine dining restaurant instead as a host/waiter...his customer service skills are incredible and the best I've ever experienced from an employee anywhere, especially fast food. Other than that I must say I wasn't to impressed with The Pepperoni Steak I ordered, just a bit too greasy for my liking...the fries are rather tasty but a lil' too salty...don't know if I would go back to eat there, perhaps another lemonade in the future. read more

3 stars for the sandwich being decent. Customer service terrible!. I ordered a chicken buffalo and I get a regular chicken.

Young man handing out samples was very nice. read more

Bootleg Philly cheesesteak and expensive. I guess ok if ur starving. I ordered the classic Philly .

Costumer service, not the best. Bacon "3"cheese and steak was horrible. If i would of known the sandwich was this plain and no damn flavor what so ever, i should've just gone to a gas station and purchased a sandwich there. read more

Hi I came to this place last week and I ordered a combo and I think I ordered from the manager Ahmad or something... He was very rude and I ordered cheese fries with my combo and I got like 10 fries and like 2 squirts of cheese sauce I was very un happy for my first time there as a customer. and when I asked him for more cheese sauce he laughed at me! and I seen that everybody has to wear a hat but him and he has hair to that's not good either. I will never go back there ever! And I asked where was there tip jar and he said they can't have one and I asked him why can't they I see they are working very hard they deserve one! Not happy with this place at all. read more
