    Cheesesteak
    Josh H.

    Cosmo's Cheesesteaks can be found in Scranton, PA and their hours of operation are 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM. They specialize in cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks. They also offer subs, wing bites, and hand cut fries and sides. I had the opportunity to check this place out last month because I had a bowling tournament nearby. The food was good and counter service was friendly. I ordered a cheesesteak and an order of their house fries. The steak could have used more cheese, but other than that it was pretty good. The fries were delicious. They were cooked and salted perfectly. Cosmo's has indoor/outdoor seating. Takeout and delivery are both available. Cheesesteak - 7.7 House Fries - 8.1 Food - 7.9 Service - 8.1 Value - 8.1 Restaurant score - 80

    Best cheesesteak I've ever had. Better than the ones in Philly like geno's, etc. Can't miss!

    This is as close to the real deal in Scranton. They send for the Amarosa bread in Philly. That is the secret to a great cheesesteak. You can put the cheese of choice on it. Very south Philly.

    *IMPORTANT TO NOTE FOR NEWCOMERS/TOURISTS : as of 5/15/23 when I went, it seems this place is takeout only? There is seating inside but it was closed off, just tables outside if the weather is nice. There is an order window outside or you can go inside to a counter to place your order to-go . There is a spacious parking lot to the left of the building.* I've lived in Scranton my whole life and I've never been here until last Monday around 7-8pm. There was one couple at a table outside just waiting for their food, and we went inside to place our order and take it home. There was one girl working, no one else inside waiting. We took a menu from the counter, decided on two sandwiches and fries to split, and went outside to wait. From the moment we parked the car, to the moment the friendly cashier came outside with our bagged-up food was only 15 minutes. That's awesome! I'm sorry for all other reviews on this page that say their order took forever, that wasn't our experience at all. After getting home to unpack and eat, we were happy to see how huge these Large sandwiches are and how huge the portion of fries were! Everything tasted amazing! The meat wasn't dry, sure there could have been more Wiz cheese, but the delicious bread made up for it. The fries were perfectly cooked and hot, the sauce was bomb, the bleu cheese was salty but not too much. My fiance ordered a sandwich that came with chicken bites on it, so I took one to try, that was great too. Not too much breading, plenty of meat. Only thing I would change would be to add more sauce, but that's just my preference. Would I return? 1000% YES. I haven't stopping thinking of our order since and I want to try more options. I hate myself for not coming here sooner!

    My food was awesome. I had a large cheesesteak with wiz, onions, mushrooms, and marinara. I also had disco fries. I devoured it all. The order took a long time to get. Also, there is no indoor seating. What the hell? It's soooo cold. People are sitting at the tables, shivering.

    Amazing cheesesteaks!!! They operate through a window now and they have a menu posted on that menu with a menu stand for the specials. You order at the window and wait perhaps 10-15 minutes depending on what you got. They have an outdoor dining area where they set aside tables in the shade. I went in the summer, and the shade was very nice to wait in while the food was being prepared. The menu has so many good sounding choices. I definitely want to try more cheesesteaks and their fries. We got two cheesesteaks (one had French fries and was on the special menu but I forgot the name of it and Phat Sranton). Maybe it was the fact that they had to be made for take out, but we thought the bread was too soggy from the juices. I wish there were more fries or were crispier in my cheesesteak. I like how the Phat Sranton had a little kick to it though.

    The food was really good and the prices were fine, but the service was meh. Just gonna leave it there.

    The meal deal with salt and vinegar fries. Totally worth it!

    Came from out of state and wanted to try legit cheesesteaks from Pennsylvania. These were super fresh and very good. I got the meal deal and it was a ton of food. Salt and vinegar fries were very good and the service was super friendly. Totally recommend!

    Very dry, not great quality meat.

    It's very very rare that we write a negative review, but unfortunately this one is totally deserved. I've had a lot of cheesesteaks in my life, and this for sure was the driest one I've ever had. The steak was dry itself, the cheese was minimal, it wasn't seasoned well...really I could keep going too but I don't want to tear this place down. I'm hoping they just had a really bad day, but this was easily one of the worst cheesesteaks I've ever had.

    As close to a Philly Cheesesteak as you're going to get in NEPA. Delish. The only place we'll go if we want a cheesesteak and we're up here.

    Certainly not the best cheesesteak I ever had. Staff was very nice. It's more of a takeout place.

The format was unusual in that it appeared to be a carry out place- but with a dining room attached. You order & pay- then go sit and wait for your meal to be served. The dining room is more comfortable than a typical pizza place with a family warmth. Our crew ordered chicken soup, burgers, pizza and a sub to go for out basketball player. We selected their "Old Forge" style pizza- iconic to the region. It didn't disappoint. The crust was light & crispy, the sauce in the sweet side and the blend of cheeses (including American cheese which is the hallmark, I'm told, of the style). It was delicious. I am a pizza 'freak'. I've enjoyed pizza from iconic restaurants in Naples, Rome, Chicago, New York, California, Detroit and now...Scranton! The burger people praised their 8oz. Burgers. The diner that enjoyed chicken soup (an accomplished cook) had high praise for the home made flavor and textures. When you add that we were treated like family members of this family owned establishment, our experience was exceptional. My only "complaints" are that: the check was far less than expected and (more of an opportunity than a complaint) I would have spent $$ for a nice red wine to complement my meal.
