Great sandwiches and great flavors!…read more My friend and I were able to share the bulgogi sandwich and two fries and we were quite full after and had some leftovers too! We shared the bulgogi sandwich which was super flavorful and just cheesy enough. I would suggest sharing a sandwich if you can because it was quite heavy. I think I may have gotten sick of how heavy it was if I finished a whole sandwich. The sides we got were also very good! I would really suggest the garlic fries There is a lot of seating inside but my friend and I did not stay. It reminded me of a fast casual place. Overall a good sandwich spot !

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!

None of this other stuff. Get the supersize of plain and ask them to double well done and you'll be golden! Roll is good bread and although about half the length you get in Philly it's very respectable. If they wrapped the cheesesteak on blank newsprint that would cap it off. But, I bring my own for the full experience. I hope they start carrying Butterscotch Krimpets and soft pretzels, then I'll be home. Give it a try...

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.

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.

I had the A1 Philly Cheesesteak, which was super flavorful and filling. The price wasn't over the top, and the customer service was excellent, with the Store Manager's young son at the front counter. It really felt like a proper Mom & Pop hole-in-the-wall restaurant, exactly the type of place I look for when I visit different cities. read more
