    Classic Philly (Half) Combo
    James M.

    I've never had the opportunity to spy or sample a cheese steak in its native habitat of Philadelphia before but I must imagine that they are quite a bit different than this because the offerings here at Cheese Steak Shop are... pretty mediocre. The meat and cheese itself, pretty important ingredients one would imagine in a "cheese steak", were rather bland and underseasoned. The hot & sweet peppers offered a bit more flavor, but they were haphazardly thrown on top of the sandwich, easily falling off with every attempted bite. I appreciate that they let you subsitute curly fries in place of regular fries for no additional cost, but the curly fries themselves were also underseasoned and they've taken the criminal but all too common step of charging for dipping sauce so if you want to enjoy your curly fries with ranch (the only right way to do so) except to be charged an extra dollar for the pleasure. The restaurant interior was clean and there was a surprising amount of seating for the small area, but sadly the food quality just doesn't warrant a repeat visit anytime soon.

    Quick service, hot food, and a chill vibe. I was craving a sandwich while on a walk and decided to stop here! Curly fries were great, I asked for onions on the cheesesteak, but I think the girl taking my order mistook that for no onions, but it was tasty either way! I took it to go and ate the other half as leftovers

    Really great cheesesteaks! Generous amount of meat in the sandwich and large portion of fries. There was a perfect cheese to steak ratio and the bread was very delicious. The curly fries were my favorite, as they were nice and crispy, but the steak fries were also good. The staff at this location were also very friendly and the service was very fast. I would highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for a cheesesteak!

    10/10 give me 14 of them right now. This cheesesteak I had right before going to Philly set the bar high. This is the best cheesesteak I've had in my life. The meat is tender but the cheese is melted in it so nicely. The meat is also super thin. The peppers give a nice acidity, spice and sweetness all at once somehow. There is a good amount of seating indoors but the plaza also has some tables outside. The service was quick and very friendly. I will say this sandwich was on the more pricey side (around ~$17 after tax and tip). However, definitely worth it if you are having the craving.

    Suppose to be garlic fries, so dry and no flavor.

    Spent $45+ and was disappointed when you don't get what ordered. While checking my order I noticed our garlic steak fries didn't have any garlic on it so I asked them about it and he took it back tossed it in a metal container and gave it back to me. Great, I thought until we got home. It's the same fries as he originally gave it to me, no garlic oil, no flavor. Bag it came in was dry as can be. What was he tossing?!? Not garlic fries.

    I forgot how bomb dot com this place was! My coworkers wanted to eat out and one of them kept talking about how we should eat her. I knew the portion sizes her are kinda big so I went with a half sandwich for mine. Ordered the western cheesesteak with peppers. I loved how the bread was nice to chew, and that it was toasted. I also loved how there was just so much flavor in each bite and that everything was made to order so you know you'll be eating a hot fresh Sando. The cashier was laughing at my coworkers for roasting me over my decision to want a chicken sandwich, but hey, I stuck with the cheesesteak and I don't regret it.

It has been almost ten years since my last visit here, so I figured I'd give this review an update after my latest visit. The Good: * Large shared parking lot in a strip mall * Friendly service * Outdoor dog-friendly seating * Housemade bread is terrific * The beef itself is so simple, but so delicious as you can really taste the wood-fired oven in the beef. * They make their own root beer and it's available in bottles and even on draught! They also sell root beer floats, if you're so inclined. * If it's your first time, get the OG French Dip with the jus. So simple, but so good. If you're a big eater, like myself, be sure to add a few extra ounces of meat on your sammy, for a nominal cost, of course. *Their horseradish will definitely clear your sinuses! I love it, but if you're sensitive to that, then be forewarned. * Onion Rings are very good, and slightly better than their fries imo. The Meh: * Honestly, with such great branding, I'm surprised they're just starting to venture out into the franchisee market, as they'll be officially opening a second location on S Bascom Ave by Valley Med. * A little pricey but they serve up a delicious quality product. The Ugly: * The location is kind of small and seats maybe fifteen to twenty people inside and out. Conclusion: Meat eaters need only apply.

Came with chips. We also ordered a side of bacon and cheddar fries. I thought they were stale, sadly. Like they were made from old fries and then cheese added or created as held until ready. There is a large outdoor patio that looks dog friendly. I think we should try this place again.

    First time ordering here. It's located in the same center with El Toritos, Safeway, Giorgio's,…read moreJamba juice, Peets Coffee, Nothing Bundt Cakes and the former Red Lobster. The Cheesesteak Shop is a bit harder to find but it's on the side of Crumbl Cookies and EriksDeliCafe, facing Milpitas Blvd. The center is on the corner of Calaveras and Milpitas Blvd. Restaurant was clean. Friendly staff with a smile. I ordered a Motown, which is with mushrooms. I requested grilled onions and sweet peppers on the side. Also, they offer lots of other reiterations of a cheesesteak sandwich such as: pizza, shredded pork, barbecue, vegetarian, even chicken if you do not prefer beef. So there's something for everyone. Vegetarians can enjoy the vegetarian version along with the sides of onion rings, steak fries, tater tots, sweet potato fries, and they even have salads. The half size sandwich consisted of thin, tender beef, grilled onions, sweet peppers with American cheese. Upon unwrapping the meat amount poked out of the soft bread. The bread was soggy on the inside in the best way. Personally I love sandwiches (includimg burgers) that are moistened with natural au jus (beef juices :) Tater tots were plentiful but a bit over salted. just like fries, try to eat when it's fresh from the fryer. Since it was over salted, I'll ask for no or light salt next timd. I would recommend this place and next time I'll order a large size bc I can save the rest for later, as well as no or lightly salted.

    It is just ok in every way. I got a king sized Western steak sandwich and some steak fries with the…read more"guylic" seasoning and both were fine. First; the fry seasoning was pretty decent (maybe a tad too salty) but the fries itself were too soggy. The quality of the meat in the sandwich was average (couldn't really taste the bacon) but it was too oily as well. The hot peppers that I customized with definitely had a kick so there's a plus there. It's not the worst thing in the world, but also not sure I would go here again considering it's not super cheap either.
