We don't use much anymore, but I couldn't quite place it not really spicy just there. they use the standard jalapeños for spice, which I would think a specialty shop like this would've had you know spicy peppers. looks like it would be a good place if you had a party to have a little area for you guests. Going in if it's your first time might be a little confusing because there's a tacos shop right there and that looks like where you would go in Giorgino's door is a solid gray that you would think would be like a back door or maybe an old school speakeasy so it's blink and end up in the taco shop. For one person, I was shy of $30 I guess I would've expected more in the way of the actual food either more flavor it would be more sandwich. More fries, more flare in the actual dish.

I was craving fries and happened to be nearby, so I decided to give this place a try since I love…read moretheir fries at Petco Park! I thought I'd just get the fries since cheesesteaks seem to be their specialty, and I don't eat beef. But I decided to try their Chicken Ranch sandwich. The sandwich was better than I expected. I was picturing the basic grilled chicken sandwich--a piece of grilled chicken on a hamburger bun. Instead, it was loaded with tender, flavorful chicken, bacon, white American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and ranch. Totally messy to eat, but in the best possible way! And the Cheez Whiz fries were exactly what I was craving. They definitely hit the spot. Customer service was excellent too! So glad I stopped in!

After a six-hour tattoo session, I had earned two things: a cheesesteak and absolutely no judgment…read moreabout the amount of food I was about to eat. Being from Philly, I take my cheesesteaks very seriously. Probably more seriously than a reasonable adult should. So when I finally tried Gaglione Bros. in San Diego, I went in hopeful. First, the good stuff. The staff was wonderful, genuinely friendly, the place was clean, and there were plenty of options. They even had Amoroso rolls and fresh-shaved prime rib. On paper, we were speaking my language. But whenever I try a new "Philly cheesesteak" place, I order my first steak plain. No cheese, no onions, no peppers, no hiding behind toppings. If you want to call yourself a Philly steak shop, the steak and bread should be able to stand on their own. Unfortunately, this one didn't. The meat was heavily salted and peppered, surprisingly dry, and every couple of bites I was pulling out pieces of fat. And nothing makes you question your dining choices quite like discreetly removing a piece of steak from your mouth in public. For me, a great cheesesteak has balance. The meat should be tender and juicy, with enough seasoning to bring out the beef rather than overpower it. There should be a little richness from the griddle, the steak juices, and everything cooking around it. Then you add the onions, mushrooms, peppers, cheese or whatever your particular Philly allegiance demands. This steak just didn't have that softness or heart. It honestly reminded me more of the tourist cheesesteak experience in Philly. And my fellow Philadelphians know exactly what I mean when I say that. A real Philly cheesesteak isn't complicated food, but that's precisely why every part matters. The bread matters. The meat matters. The griddle matters. And somehow, when someone really knows how to make one, you can taste the heart in it. Would I try Gaglione Bros. again? Probably not for the cheesesteak. The people were great and the place itself left a good impression, but the steak didn't. Mostly, the experience just left this Philly girl Jonesing for a long weekend back home, a walk down South Street, and a cheesesteak from that place. If you're from Philly, you already know which one I mean.

Sure, it's a little on the pricier side, but I don't mind paying more if the quality of the food and ingredients matches the price. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The food had a strange rotten-egg type of smell, lacked flavor, and overall just wasn't what I was expecting based on all the hype. Fast forward a couple of hours after eating, I got home, tried to go to sleep, and ended up feeling extremely sick with what seemed like food poisoning. For $50 for a pizza and cheesesteak, I expected fresh, quality ingredients and a much better experience. Definitely disappointing and unfortunately not somewhere I'd come back to.

We arrived before the lunch rush, placed our orders and waited less than 30 minutes before our sandwiches were ready. I didn't eat breakfast and was already full, half sandwich in, but needed to finish because I didn't want leftovers (I had a long drive home). My co-worker on the other hand stated he could order an another cheesesteak sandwich. The place was small and cozy the seating area had a backyard feel. I even made a comment to my co-worker that there were apartments on the other side of the restaurant fence and who ever lived there could hop over and grab a cheesesteak or pizza. I will be back to try the pizza.

Came for the wings on a Monday night. I wasn't impressed pulling up. And had an even more…read morepessimistic feeling when I saw that their kitchen was a food truck, which in my opinion are great for sandwiches and fries. I was blown away at just how great these wings are. Compared to the rest of San Diego. Definitely one of the better ones I've had. And it's only 1.50 on Mondays if you order in. I ordered 15 wings. They come in orders of 5 meaning, you get to pick one sauce for every five wings. No mixing and matching if it's not in multiples of five. So if you order 8, you only get to pick one sauce. Order 10, you can pick two sauces. I went with the sweet Thai chili sauce, an oaksteak dry rub and a spicy habanero. Those were my favorites in that order. The habanero wasn't really that spicy. The dry rub was great for about five, anymore than that and I feel like it would have gotten too salty for me. It was a super slow Monday. About 7 people were in there and they were all at the bar. Seems to me they were locals. Me and my homie were at the back table chilling, chatting and watching tv. They also had a pool table available which was free, at least on Mondays they are free. They have karaoke on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We had a few beers. About 12 on tap and a full bar available. They also have other food available to eat such as cheesesteaks, burgers and other finger food and salads etc. they have happy hour deals for 11 bucks. Different days have different deals. Same goes for the drinks. Parking was minimum. It's in a small corner plaza and shares it with 4 other businesses. Maybe like 15 spots inside the park plaza. Plenty of street parking on the side streets.

Please note they are a tad greasy and again, large. So don't come in for just a snack! The meat on both were the superstars. They also are a full butchery (they even have a subscription box!). So there are meats in the case and marinated options galore. We came for breakfast but left with some chicken and red meat options for dinner this week. It's a tad expensive for both sandwiches and the meats but all in all seem right for the quality. Service was also fast and friendly. Very knowledgeable and ready to help. We got street parking but there's also a small lot it's attached to. There's some counter seating outside you can eat at once you order. Would def recommend!

All you naysayers saying "fillers... premade...", just look to your right when you order - you'll see a fridge full of WHOLE roasts, wrapped and ready to be made. * Owner is regularly working the shop and you can tell he loves what he does. Super friendly and patient to walk you through the menu. * That French dip is a MUST try. Crispy sesame bun outside, cheesy and meaty inside. I'll be dreaming about it. * Biggest surprise - those fries! Best curly fries in SD hands down. It is what it is: * Yes, it's pricey. $20ish a sandwich. But weighing it all out, you get what you pay for. You're going to pay $4 less for a little sub down the street with an EIGHTH of the meat (and that stuff down the street isn't home made). * No inside seating. 4ish tables out front available to sit and eat at. * This is best fresh, for sure. Don't expect a good reheat experience. The bad: * Parking sucks. It PB so it's all paid parking. * Restrooms are not close. Verdict: * Phenomenal premium sandwiches that are worth every penny if you understand New England Roast Beef. He's doing it better than most on the east coast.
