The food was mostly good the only complaint was the meat was somewhat tough yet the flavor was good.

the entrance to the restaurant

It is located inside a small plaza next to a small grocery store. So, there are some parking spots. I don't need to park on the street. We had A4 and A8. Both are good. Not salty, decent amount of meat. We will come back when we crave a cheese steak. I called to order and pick it up, but even Grubhub said I could not order pick up anymore. The food is ready and warm when I arrive.

Classic and deluxe

Really good cheesesteaks here. I got the classic and tasted like a classic. I also got a deluxe which was good. I liked the tomatoes.

Delicious Philly steaks, I'll start with that! If that's all we had and the order was correct it would be 5 stars. Got there at 11:45 on a Friday and got very busy after we ordered. Food came out in a reasonable time but my wife ordered peppers and cheese and ended up with peppers and onions. Somehow I ended up mushrooms and peppers but no onions. We also ordered the garlic fries and they were cold but yet still crunchy and flavorful at least. We will be back for sure!

We're at a Philly native approved Philly cheesesteak place. The food is incredible! There was a cute kid working the register & everyone was really nice! Definitely check it out!

Garlic Fries

Being a PA native in WA, one of the things I missed most was a good cheesesteak. Erwin's has been my favorite so far and never disappoints. The bread is firm enough to hold the weight of the steak, onions, peppers and cheese but soft enough to easily bite into. They have plenty of options to choose from but I like the classic best. It's not whiz, but it satisfies! (Just realized that they may have whiz based on the menu on Yelp!) For a side, I either choose the garlic fries or the onion rings. These are not health food options but they are good for cravings! Service is always great, several tables to eat inside after ordering at the counter.

Onion Mushroom Pepper Cheese Steak
Mike C.

What a great place to swing by especially if you're heading to a game at Funko Field nearby. I got the mushroom, onion, pepper cheese steak and the flavors were amazing! Tender and thinly sliced steak topped with creamy melted cheese (it's hot!) served in a soft and warm roll. What also stood out about this small shop was the cleanliness - from the tables and chairs to the floor to the bathrooms, all spotless! I received such warm hospitality from who I would presume was Erwin himself, I am absolutely recommending this place and would obviously come back.

Front counter with menu
Paul K.

Excellent cheesesteak and very crispy fries. The fries were almost like they were double fried. Awesome! I got the most popular cheesesteak on the menu which has tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, chopped green bell pepper, white American cheese, and of course seasoned ribeye. Absolutely delicious! I forgot to order the daily special which includes a drink but Erwin was cool about it and gave me a Coke anyways. Erwin runs the counter very efficiently and is very friendly. The food is great and reasonably priced. You can't go wrong with a cheesesteak here when in the area. Great job Erwin!

Tres' House of Cheesesteaks - Pepper steak

Tres' House of Cheesesteaks

I've been wanting to try Tres' House of Cheesesteaks for quite some time. Why did I wait so long??…read moreIt's sooo good! We ordered the Pepper to share and it was an appropriate amount of meat, cheese and peppers placed in a toasty bun. We also ordered a side of tots, which were outstandingly crispy. Tres' is located inside the Lamplighter Public House. We placed our order at the bar and our order was brought out to us. Bonus: We went down to Shilshole to enjoy our cheesesteak and tots while watching the sunset. Good food and views!

Forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry, but this place definitely hit the spot…read more Ordered the Tre's Caliente Cheesesteak Sandwich and the Fried Zucchini Sticks. The sandwich was great. Hot, fresh, flavorful (quite spicy - but I like it), moist, and large - about enough for 2 people. Packed with meat, cheese. onions, and peppers. I'd order here often if I lived in Seattle. The zucchini fries however were not good, especially for $12. Very bready, the slices of zucchini were too skinny, and portion size was kind of small. It was only good because it was hot and fried. But the zucchini itself had a strange flavor..kind of fishy? I would not recommend these, maybe just stick to fries but everything else was good. Sandwich - 5/5 Zucchini Fries - 2/5 I ordered online, which was fairly simple, and you pick up from a side door of the building to the kitchen in the parking lot (left side), you do not have to go inside. Pick-up service was friendly. Overall excellent sandwiches!

Calozzi's Cheesesteak is hands down the best cheesesteak that I have tried in this area. I'm sure…read moreit's better in PA, but for Washington State, it is truly delicious. You order at the window on North side of the shop and pickup at the window on the South side of the shop. There used to be limited indoor seating but that is no more. There are, however, a couple of outdoor picnic tables which is better than nothing. Definitely a take out place. I had the original with Cheese Wiz. They double wrap the sandwich in foil and butcher paper and if you include the paper bag it comes in, you have a triple wrapped mound of yumminess! The steak is chopped finely and the Wiz is oozing all over the sandwich. They cook it to order so it is piping hot when you open it and it smells wonderful. The bun surrounds the contents pretty well but as with this type of sandwich it can get messy quickly. Definitely use caution. Always a crowd here and everyone looks happy with anticipation of the arrival of their coveted cheesesteak (especially me!). Give this place a try and you won't be sorry.

This has to be the best cheesesteak I have tried in Seattle. I would rate this place a 4.3/5. You…read morewalk up to a window to order and then you wait outside for them to call your number. The ambiance is just quick and easy to go food. Make sure to get their secret item menu! We got their Big Ben. The cheesesteak was not only humongous, but it was packed full of flavor. Every bite was super cheesy and meaty. It was absolutely delicious. I could only eat half of it and save the other half for the next day. Honestly, it tasted better when you toast it in the air fryer to get that crispy bun. Otherwise the buns were soggy. Highly recommend trying this place!

Philly Ya Belly - Pizza Cheesesteak

Philly Ya Belly

I was born and raised in Philadelphia, so I've had my fair share of cheesesteaks over the years…read more After trying Philly Ya Belly, I can honestly say they're doing it right. The sandwich was delicious, and you can tell they focus on the details that matter. For a great cheesesteak, it all starts with high-quality bread, and they absolutely nailed that. The roll was fresh, soft, and held everything together perfectly. Combine that with well-seasoned meat and the right balance of ingredients, and it makes for a fantastic sandwich. If you're craving an authentic, well-made cheesesteak, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

tl;dr - soft bread, delicious philly cheesesteak, clean and friendly…read more They do take a little while to make the sandwiches but they are always piping hot and fresh. I love a classic cheesesteak so my typical order is the Philly Cheesesteak with onion, pepper, and mushroom. Belly Buster - The staff said it's about 2 oz more meat. I've seen some comments that there's no really a difference between belly buster and regular, but after having over a dozen of these I will say that it may not look different, but it's noticeable while eating. There's much less bread feeling every mouthful with the belly buster and tastes a bit more salty and flavorful. Philly Cheesesteak w/ onion, pepper, mushroom - Bread is soft and warm. Steak with onion, pepper, and mushroom is piping hot with cheese melted on top. Garlic Fries - Crispy and well seasoned with a moderate amount of garlic Fried jalapenos - You get 3, they're great if you love jalapenos. I have a reasonable spicy tolerance, but i thought they were a bit too spicy by themselves. Maybe adding them into the sandwich would be better. This location is open pretty late. My old complaint is that they aren't open in Sundays. The place is always really clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Pardon My Cheesesteak - "Cheesesteak"

This was the most disappointing cheesesteak I've ever had. I saw this place listed on Uber Eats but…read moredecided to order directly from their site so they wouldn't have to pay for fees, but now I realize that's also some consumer protection I don't have because I ordered direct. I am on a meat based diet and will sometimes have a cheesesteak as a cheat where I'll eat the meat and cheese with a fork. I love a classic cheesesteak with whiz and ordered a cheesesteak with cheese sauce and extra sauce on the side. Once you order, pick up instructions mention the kitchen is inside the IHOP on Broadway, so you find out it's a ghost kitchen after committing money. I've heard various things about ghost kitchens, some being great and others being pretty terrible. This one is just bad. I picked up my order and decided to check the bag in the car, there was no side of cheese sauce in the bag and there was also no cheese sauce on the cheesesteak. I had to go back in to request them. I'm not even sure how to describe the meat, it's basically two formed patties, like the normal sliced beef you would expect was formed in molds of some kind, there were slices of cheese that were melted, it was a dry sandwich. Even adding the cheese sauce didn't save it. It's nothing like whiz, not even like nacho cheese, it's some sad watery cheese sauce. After a couple bites I gave up and threw everything back in the bag. This was an absolute waste of time and $16. This is a lesson learned, if trying something new for the first time, order on an app where the consumer has some protection in case what you get is inedible. This is going in the trash and I have to figure out a plan b for dinner.

I order from here all the time. Probably $200+ in orders, maybe more. If you order on uber eats,…read moreand pay their extra charge for $2 to get cheese sauce, you will not receive it 75% of the time. It's starting to piss me off. Even when you request in the order notes that you want it either on the side or on the sand which, it's never there on either. It's clear that they do not care. About to stop ordering from this place.

There wasn't much of a variety which was a bummer but I went with the basic cheese to try out. They heated the pizza and it came out hot. Overall, the pizza was good.

Since then, a Georgian couple, I think they are Georgian, has taken over. I was in the mood for a Philly cheesesteak in addition to trying something different. After my perusing of the menu I knew what was going to be my pick for the evening. I live in Everett and this place is just right down the freeway, which is a short jaunt considering it is the Boeing freeway and it's not a bad drive at all. After pulling up, i headed inside and it wasn't crowed at all. I did a quick look over on the menu and glanced at the available slices and was greeted warmly by the husband. I knew what I wanted but it was going to be a split order. I let him know that I was going to eat in first and then order to go afterwards and he was welcomed to it. I first ordered a slice, the meat lovers or pepperoni and sausage. And Caesar salad. The salad was a regular portion but they have a larger as well. The slice was decent. The majority of pizza parlors throw slices back in the oven for a quick reheat and this was no different. Great crisp, not too greasy and the bite was good. My favorite local spot is Brooklyn brothers but this was not too far behind. The salad was good. Classic romaine, chopped to bite-sized pieces, excellent mouth size and the dressing was on point. Croutons, which were plentiful, and I enjoy that, rounded out with a good amount of shredded Parmesan. It wasn't the best but when you have a good caesar salad it's damn near good enough. After my first palate cleanse, i went to place my to go order. A Philly cheesesteak and their kachapuri. The cheesesteak was simple, just meat and cheese, which is my personal standard. The kachapuri was their pizza dough, a mix of cheeses and Georgian cheeses and an egg yolk, that was added father it was cooked. It was accompanied by a slab of butter. The cheesesteak was delicious. It was meaty and cheesy lol. The dough was soft and absorbed all the drippings of the meat and cheese and each bite was perfect. There an always better cheesesteaks and some are standards but this one set a great mark compared to my poach offerings, even the ones that cheesesteak in their namesake. I was happy. After I wolfed down the first half, I saved the rest for the next day and dove into the Kachapuri. This was my first time having this dish and it was a great choice. Be warned that this is a heavy dish and very rich. I had to spread it out over the next few days but each reheat was great and never did it decrease in flavor or quality. The flavor is extremely piquant. Savory, creamy and the addition of the yolk and butter just brings it to another level. Again, it is heavy and should be paired with something lite, salad, vegetables, a tame meat or subtle fish but if eaten on its own, good enough. Check them out and if you're curious, go for the cheesesteak and if you're in the mood add the kachapuri. You wont regret it.
