    New School Cheesesteak!
    Dave L.

    This is the spot for a cheesesteak if you are in Northern Jersey. My son and I were in today, we are from Long Island. Yeah they have the OG cheese wiz, but it's the "new school" cheesesteak with the cooper sharp white that makes it! Great meat, great roll, just a mouthful of amazing. Hats off Christo! This spot is a winner!

    Christo's Wake and Steak 1290 Broad St. Bloomfield, NJ 07003 Cheesesteak Talk about getting the best of both worlds. In addition to costing less than the average cheesesteak, the taste was phenomenal. The fresh seeded bread was soft and doughy. The ribeye cut meat was tender and juicy. #christoswakeandsteak #cheesesteaks #cheesesteaksandwich #njcheesesteaks

    had the pleasure to come back with 2 work place associates. I called our order ahead since we were coming from 40mins away on a weekday lunch. We shared the chopped cheese, old school, alnee school, corn nuggets and fries. They were able to accommodate our request to cut the subs in 3rds. The guy who is running the front is very nice. Either you're a regular or first timer. He made you felt comfortable being there. When we arrived he had already arranged two small tables together for us to dine in. But, it was not necessary. We ended up sharing 1 square table so an older couple could also dine on a table. This place is definitely a treat yourself place of you're in the mood for a great cheesesteak. I introduced Cooper sharp to my amigo and they really liked the mouth feel and tang. the old school with the wiz still hits. I really liked the chopped cheese. the lettuce and tomato gives it a crispy bite with the richness of the coopersharp and big Mac sauce.

    I just wanted normal lunch but I left with the sleeps and a game changing cheesesteak experience, on my birthday of all days. I had the New School and from first bite I had that moment when the food influencer walks away from the camera out of pure bliss or Jordan throws his glasses at the wall. It was so good I had no business having this for a normal lunch meal. This is one of those I traveled for over an hour to eat here or special cheat meal meals. To top things off the service was very nice and friendly. They were rocking out to jazz which didn't fit but at the same time was perfect. There's only three or four tables in there so don't plan on eating this there, instead take it to brookdale park and strap in for the ride. What a perfect birthday meal, thanks guys!

    Old school cheesesteak

    I got a recommendation for this from Reddit, but it's as solid as a cheesesteak as you're going to get outside of Philly. I don't judge anyone for going with the "new school" option, but I had to go old school with cheese whiz, cheesesteak, and onions. I didn't love having to order from a machine (I get it when there's a line but no one else was in the store). There are tables to dine in or wait, and it didn't take too long to get the sandwich. The cheesesteak appeared a little small at first (compared to like a sub sandwich), but it was so packed with meat and cheese I was super full by the time I was finished. It was a perfect balance of ingredients and packed in tightly so that nothing slipped out and got too messy. I came in around 11ish, and someone after me wanted eggs, but they said breakfast was over and the grill would be too hot with other orders to make it, so if you want breakfast late or lunch early, be aware that might not be an option. Otherwise, this is a great tasty and quick lunch spot. Plenty of free street parking available.

    New school, add long hots

    Solid cheesesteak. Very generous on the fillings! Roll left something to be desired, needed some more chew. Place is no frills, super friendly staff and very steady stream of customers. Oh and definitely get an order of cheese fries, wit whiz!

    Cheesesteaks are delicious and filling! Definitely messy so grab extra napkins! The meat is well seasoned and flavorful. The bread is fresh and soft. The cheese is really good and they're not shy with it. Service was fast and friendly.

    I feel a little embarrassed that I've lived in New York City for nearly all my life and waited until now to have my first chopped cheese sandwich. When the algorithm started pelting my social media feed with salivating images of Christo's offerings, I figured it was time to rectify things. If you've seen any pictures of these sandwiches, you already know there's no way it could taste bad. My husband got the New School, which comes with soft, seeded loaves that are absolutely loaded with a hot, gooey blend of beef, onions, and Cooper sharp American. While delectable, I actually preferred the chopped cheese sandwich, which also comes with cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and ketchup. I'm as happy with beef and cheese as the next red-blooded American, but I felt the extra veg and tangy condiments helped offset the sheer volume of cheesy beef that are stuffed into these sandwiches. While the standard orders are incredible, there's a decent level of customizability here. Not a fan of Cooper cheese? Sub it out for whiz, provolone, Swiss, or habanero jack. Not a ground beef person? Get chicken, steak, or even a veg medley instead. If it's too early in the day for chopped cheese sandwiches, they even serve up egg + meat breakfast sandwiches. In short, there's something here for everyone. Inside, there's a decent amount of tables and chairs, but with all the hype surrounding this spot it can be hard to find a seat, especially around mealtimes.

    North Shore

    Been circling this place for years but since I live an hour plus away never went. Finally was about 30 mins away so made a detour. We went for two things. The North Shore and the new school. We got there right before it closed. Didn't realize it closed so early on a Saturday. In any event they had no problem making us the food and letting us in there. The north shore comes with gloves. It was very good. I would def get again. The new school was a top 3 cheesesteak in the state. Right amount of food. Fries were very good as well. The people were awesome. The food was really good. Wish we lived closer to go more often.

    Here's the deal. What's not to love about a no frills...Tiny spot on a strip of stores on broad street. Chalk board menu (or u can use QR code). Cooper sharp cheese and quality rib eye. Would def come back and try the roast beef

    Cheesesteaks aren't really that hard to find. Most local pizza shops sell them. You can find them at sub shops and delis. Most diners and burger places have them. Despite this I've yet to find a really good cheesesteak anywhere north of Camden. That is until now. Christo's Wake and Steak in Bloomfield does pretty much one thing and that's cheesesteaks, and they're seriously good. The menu is filled with various varieties of beef and chicken cheesesteaks, but it fundamentally comes down to one question: are you "New School" or "Old School"? Old School is what you'd get in Philly. Right down to the Cheez Wiz. New School ditches the Cheese Wiz for Cooper Sharp, a kind of sharp, American cheese that is known for melting well. That's what I got. It comes with fried onions and that's it. You can get mushrooms and long hot peppers and a few other things, but it doesn't need any of that. The only other thing it needs is great bread, and the bread here is great. It stands up to the cheesesteaks. It's soft but doesn't sog out. The service is very friendly but be patient these sandwiches take some time to make. Also, don't plan on eating in. There are only a couple of tables. The parking situation is on the challenging side, but what true cheesesteak lover is going to let tough parking get in their way. Christo's is worth it!

    Finally got to experience the hype. I tried two different cheese steaks; New School Cooper sharp American, Steak, Onions Pairs well with: Deftones "Back to School" & provolone & onions. I must say well worth the trip and wait.

    I actually saw this place on Instagram and had to give it a try. Stopped on here on a Saturday and it was pretty busy. Was told up front the wait would be 45 minutes. In ordered and ran some errands and at exactly 45 minutes my order was ready. I decided on the chop cheese sandwich. It was very good and was a nice sized sandwich. The roll of as very good as well. Service was good. Be aware that if you come in on a Saturday it's gonna be busy. People after me were told over an hour wait. Get here early on busy days. I will be back to try the cheesesteak for sure.

    Every bite of the New school cheesesteak sandwich was like a little sliver of heaven.

    Do they deliver?

    They do not... And they sell out fast. They're open until 3pm and I got there at 1:45 and was lucky enough to get the last batch. By 2pm they were sold out. Possibly delivery via UberEats, etc.
