Cosmo's recently opened up in the old Granito building on Moosic St. Cosmo has done a great job updating the building, particularly the signage. I wish I could be as enthusiastic about the hoagies. On the plus side they are a good size and you have the option to have them made with Whiz (Cheese Whiz). I wasn't thrilled with the quality of the meat. It was a little chewy and left a funny aftertaste. The fries were fantastic. The staff was extremely friendly. I'll definitely give Cosmo's another shot. read more

Cosmo's - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Speaking as a Philadelphian, I NEVER order a cheesesteak ANYWHERE except Philadelphia or South Jersey, because it is inevitably terrible. Cosmo's does it right. Their secret? 1. The proper bread. Amoroso's. 2. The proper meat. The reason most cheesesteaks are so bad is that this is an unusual cut of meat, and it's hard to find outside of Philadelphia. (If you visit Philly places like Jim's they have a special machine that slices it). Cosmo's has found a local source that has the goods. Prices are low, service fast, and (don't believe the hype) the owner is a really nice guy (who just happens to like to go home after the shop is closed. Go figure.) AND... if you somehow have room after your meal, there's a Krispy Kreme across the street. Go. read more

Unsanitary, disappointing food. I had such high hopes for this place. My mom and I had just came from visiting Harrisburg where we had an amazing cheesesteak experience so we were craving another one. We knew better than expecting something identical but we were still looking for a good steak sandwich. The place was a decent size. It's within an office building with a small private parking lot to the side. There were absolutely no other customers in there when we arrived around 11am on a Sunday, but this was around the time they opened. We began by ordering their four cheese cheesesteak with a side of homemade cheese fries (we were in a cheesy mood I guess). We had never been in here before so looking at their menu was a first. In a box to the lower right of the cheesesteaks were toppings, which we didn't see, so we forgot to mention we wanted peppers and onions. You would think the cashier would have asked if we wanted any toppings while we were ordering but we ended up going back to the counter after noticing our mistake. Most toppings were not included. Just mayo. So you had to pay an extra $.50 per topping for an already $8.00 sandwich. It didn't take too long for our food to be served, about 5 minutes, and it looked great. Although, biting into it, we were disappointed. It lacked flavor. I needed to add ketchup to mine it was so boring. The bread was strange, almost baguette like due to its chewiness, which did not go well with the cheesesteak at all. There wasn't a lot of meat either. I know we ordered the four cheese, but the cheese to meet ratio was almost double and not in the "my sandwich is overflowing with goodness!" kind of way. It wasn't overflowing at all... The fries were pretty good; home-cut and slathered with cheese sauce. It wasn't anything amazing but they were decent. As my mom and I were sitting there eating our food I noticed something on my mom's food. "Mom, I think there's a hair on your plate". She looked down and reached to pull it off when she noticed it was attached to her sandwich! She started to pull... A long brown hair was slowly pulled from the bread of her sandwich (and neither of our hair colors are brown!!). She thought she got it all so she tried to put the idea behind her and keep eating but after another few bites, she saw another one mixed into the meat and cheese! Both of us put our sandwiches down with a loss of appetite. I mean we did end up splitting a large one, so who knows what was in mine... I ended up walking to the counter to inform them. I didn't want another one nor was I looking for compensation, but I just wanted them to know. Maybe someone should wear a hair net back there? The woman ended up refunding the cheesesteak to my credit card which I give them props for (hence the two stars). I didn't ask them too, but I am glad they did something in the end. We were pretty grossed out. Overall, we were very disappointed. The place itself was pretty gross. My mom went into the bathroom and said it was disgusting and they had just opened for the day! No excuses there. We hope no one has an experience like ours. It really killed our appetite. Even if the hair in our food didn't happen, we probably wouldn't go back (and I probably would have given them 3 stars instead). There are much better cheesesteaks out there and for better prices! I would not recommend this place. read more

Cosmo's delicious made-to-order cheesesteaks make for quite a hefty meal - almost more food than you can finish in one sitting. I also recommend their Volcano Fries - they make a wonderful compliment to any cheesesteak! Despite outward appearances, the inside of Cosmo's is rather small and seating is limited. Consider takeout as a viable option during the mid-day lunch rush. read more

I like this place, the staff is friendly and the food is good, too. It fills a niche in the downtown area of Scranton, kind of a well done burger and fries joint. (Except, obviously, they specialize in cheese steaks) The fries are pretty good, they're fresh-made boardwalk fries. The cheese steaks are good, too. Maybe not the best I've ever had, but as good as anything I've had in Scranton. It is in a recently renovated building and has a good atmosphere. A pleasant alternative to a fast food chain...that still does fast food. read more

Prices went up, quality and portion size dropped. Not going back.

Amazing!! We had the rodeo cheesesteaks, the signature cheesesteak fries and the volcano chicken sandwich and all was so good. Service is great and food was bomb. Deff recommend it and then you can get dessert across the street at Krispy Kreme! read more

This place is seriously simple but the food is by taste.. Bar none. We were here for the usual weekend gallivant and we stumbled on to this place.. From the looks of the outside, it looks as if it would be a filled place but I remember being the Summer and Scranton, being a College town.. It was a bit barren. Now onto the food.. They had an extensive choice of Cheese Steaks and Chicken cheese Steaks. I wanted something a bit different from the normal steak and ordered one of their specials.. The Mozzarella Bomb - Steak, Mozz cheese, Marinara Sauce, and cheese sticks, topped with oregano and romano cheese. with and addition to cheese sticks and cheese fries.. 10 mins and bang.. The food was out served by a cute waitress tableside.. Perfectly cooked steak, more than you'd think of.. Cheese fries were crispy with real cheese, and the cheese sticks.. All I can say is Yum!!! Worth the trip every time. Perfect on low price and rich on taste and quality read more

Decent cheesesteaks, but the service could be quicker and the pricing more reasonable. I find it ridiculous that Cosmo's charges extra for the toppings, especially since they're so miserly in the application. Parking at this location can be a headache. read more

Delicious! I recently moved to Scranton from Orlando and went to Philly looking for a good cheesesteak and to be honest Cosmos was way better than the three places we went to in Philly! The meat was nice and tender, plenty of options for toppings, bread is soft but can hold up, cheese is creamy! The chicken cheesesteak is awesome too! read more

We were in town for a business meeting and stopped for lunch. Great sandwiches and cheese fries.

My husbands' delivery company make a delivery to the owner last week and he told the guys to order anything they wanted for lunch on the house. :) Just wanted to let you know my husband said it was the BEST cheesesteak and fries he has ever had! (And we live outside of Philadelphia) He can't wait to have a another delivery in the area so he can stop in again (and this time bring back some for the whole family)! read more

I don't know where to begin....this place has the best cheesesteaks I have ever had. Having lived in the Philly area for some time, I can assure you that this place serves them up better than any of the Philly "greats." I could go on and on about how spectacular every aspect of this place is, but I'd hate to be typing for several hours. Hands down best cheesesteak you will ever have. read more

Well....philly it aint....Rolls are great, steak is dry.... Oh welll.....ok to visit..clean and friendly.

I went here while visiting the University of Scranton. I had the Rodeo Cheesesteak and it was by far the most interesting yet fantastic cheesesteak I've ever had. The service was good too. The food came out quickly and the server was very friendly. Overall it was a fantastic little joint. read more

Cosmo's - The Rodeo Cheesesteak. It was really good. The ranch and barbecue sauce combo made it! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Chicken cheesesteaks are always really good, great fresh Amoroso rolls. It's worth it to get the full size sandwich, I can only finish half and save the rest for later (usually the same day because they're so good). read more

I am a cheesesteak lover and I heard from 2 people you have to try Cosmo's..After 4 months I finally got one. I have had better. scale of 1 to 10 I would say 6 and my best rating would be an 8. got to leave room for perfection. I was told they get their bread from Philly daily. I worked in a bakery and that was a 3 day old bread. The meat was overcooked and crisped on all the edges to the point of being burnt.I must have gotten there at a slow time and given what they had on the grill for 20 minutes. The kicker was the meat was so dry it soaked the cheese up .I tasted it but it was not something you stoop over to eat or you would get it on yourself. Take my opinion with a grain of salt as I am a cheesesteak lover. Like I said many people told me it's a must and I get the feeling they may have gotten fresh bread and went at a busy time where things were not on the grill for 20 minutes. read more

Certainly one of the best cheesesteaks i have ever had. Really kind and friendly service. Whenever i am in Scranton i will come back. read more

Cheese steaks are by far one of the best I've had around here while visiting. The girl taking the order could be a little bit more greeting, she doesn't seem to wanna be there. The atmosphere is ok, could use so tvs around the place. read more

I like this place a lot. Next best thing to being in Phillie. Staff is super nice to us and the kids.

Great staff . Cosmo is super friendly but his cheesesteaks are fatty and grizzly . If you can get past pulling grizzle out of your mount they are pretty good . Plenty of steak . So stick with the chicken cheesesteak much better. read more

As the advertisement said, the cheese steak and cheese fries are pretty good. These 2 is the necessities every time.

Awesome cheesesteaks and the crunchy fries are awesome. Also nice touch putting a bottle of malt vinegar on the table, it's so good on the fries! read more

This place used to be really go when they first opened but then they changed cheese and I think the meat is different but its still ok. I'm kind of over it, I used to go a few times a month but not anymore. The bread is still excellent and they have great fries. There's never a line. Parking is somewhat difficult to maneuver. read more

Holy deliciousness. I haven't had a cheesesteak this good since NH at Nadeaus subs (NH's state sandwich is from Nadeaus). The takeout process was wonderfully easy. My sub was not soggy and was still blazing hot by the time I got home. So delicious. It looks like they use fresh mushrooms which is unusual for this area and it makes a difference. The only reason they got 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish there was a little more to it. Still plenty substantial but it was so good that at the end I really wished I had more. Great job Cosmos. read more

Cosmos has the best cheesesteaks this far from Philly. Inspired by the Pat's and Geno's of south Philly, Cosmo's does a fine job of representing the Philly cheesesteak community in Scranton. read more

Very Good! 3 cheese Cheesesteak! Volcano Fries after reading reviews.. All Very Good! Best Cheesesteak I've had in Scranton.

I just visited Cosmos today with my family ... The place was clean.. But as far as the cheesesteak .. It wasn't anything to rave about. It was okay... But nothing out of this world . The girl at the counter was nice... But very sloppy .. Her hair was long and all over the place...( doesn't look good when working with food ) . My son got chicken and fries... Nothing great... And our cheese fries were lame. Over all... I have had better ... I don't recommend this place to anyone . read more

Food is ok. Prices are high. Restaurant is clean and I'm a little OCD but the picture frames are all crooked lol other than that not so bad if your willing to pay for an ok hoagie read more

Ordered a traditional cheesesteak sans bun bc I'm doing no carb and was pleased with my meal. Quick and hot

We went here one Time. Pretty good cheesesteaks but my favorite were the cheese fries. My fiancé really liked his sandwich but it was just a little to meaty for me but that's just me. read more

Pretty great chicken cheesesteak, awesome fries, awesome white birch beer,open late. Best part is the homemade AMERICAN CHEESE SAUCE!

I had the Super Volcano fries and They were delicious. It's probably a cardinal sin not to order a cheese steak from here but I needed something quick and a little lighter. I will be going back and I'm sure my review will go from 4 to 5 stars. read more
