Is it the best cheesesteak I have ever had? No. Is it the best cheesesteak in New York? Maybe. Is it a good cheesesteak? Yes. At $16, this is not a cheap cheesesteak, or steak, for short. It is not really a Philly Cheesesteak, but rather a cheesesteak with a New York spin on it. The cheese is a sharp white American (appropriate choice), and the roll is a house made roll. They do not use Amoroso rolls here. Fine. Do it your way. I respect that. This steak shop started getting credibility during the Knicks run in the NBA Finals, and it shows in their clips playing in the restaurant. Once you take a bite, you will see all the flavors coming together as one. I am appreciative they do not let you put onions in the steak if you do not want them. This is a stark contrast from Danny & Coop's, who make you take it or leave it as is. I dock points for the expensive and lousy milkshake I ordered. It is bland and small, and left me incredibly frustrated after drinking it. I also feel while the steak is good, it is quite small considering the $16 price for a large. The fact they do not offer free water to guests is also insulting. Forcing customers to buy water is unnecessary. On hot days, you need to be more generous, especially when dealing with a highly salty sandwich like this one. No pretending here, this steak is a contender, much like the Knicks they endorse. read more

G's Cheesesteaks - Cheesesteak with just steak and cheese. Nothing else. Easy peasy. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - New York, New York

I had heard about Gs before their posts regarding The Knicks making it to the playoffs ... I wasn't able to "cash in" on their free cheesesteak back then, but had a chance to try them recently at their Alphabet City location. Menu is filled with several different cheesesteak options, sides etc. I had the Cooper Sharp which was good... I love cooper sharp cheese but that is all I could taste. Meat was nicely cooked and served on a roll that they make in house. Friendly staff. Definitely a good option and $10 is reasonable for their medium ($17 for large). The only other cheesesteak I've had recently was a year ago at Danny & Coops which only offers one size. They have plans to continue opening, so keep them on your radar... they may pop up in a neighborhood near you. read more

This is a five star cheesesteak but consistency is an issue lately. I order frequently, two at a time, truffle whiz, add mushrooms, seeded roll. This is a $45 order and what makes this complete is that seeded roll, this is now four or five cheesesteaks without the sesame roll and I've gotta tell you, it's awfully disappointing. This bread taste two weeks old, thick, stale, and in the garbage pale. Imagine wasting almost fifty friggen dollars on cheesesteaks? Has something changed? Suppliers? Management? Anything?? Huge upset read more

Came for the Persian cheesesteak event and was severely disappointed. Firstly, it was a baby cheesesteak -- a 4 biter. Secondly, it just felt like a normal cheesesteak with parsley on it. Was much different than what they were advertising it to be. Maybe they gave up on trying by dinner time for the event? Idk. Whatever it was though, it was just mid. read more

What makes a Knicks NBA quarter finals series sweep over the Philadelphia 76ers even sweeter? Why, free cheesestakes wouldn't hurt. The owner of G's Cheesesteaks made a very generous offer, free cheesestake sandwiches to New Yorkers following the Knicks' sweep. Watching the game on tv, I would hear the commentator mentioning local promotions for basketball fans in Philadelphia cheering for missed free throws, translating to free fried chicken. Well, New York fans received the offer of free cheesesteaks. I don't dare call these "Philly" cheesesteaks. We hear enough claims of New York Pizza coming from some unlikely places. The lines were long but moved along briskly once the doors opened today at 11am. It has been decades since I last had a cheesesteak while in Philly. Working from faint memories, this cheesesteak compares favorably. Nice steak slices with cheese and onions. None of that Cheez Wiz here, this is New Yawk! I am one happy Knicks fan. read more

This spot has excellent Cheesesteaks! I've gone there twice in the last week and it's great - really consistent. I ordered the Chicken Classic both times and it's killer! Delicious Baked Bread that's crunchy outside, soft inside, lots of Chicken cooked fresh and Cooper Cheddar, Wiz & Fried Onions. The first time I got seeded bread & the 2nd time I got plain - both are excellent and baked fresh daily until they run out. It's a hefty sandwich that is 2 full meals for me easily. Only "kind of" downside is that it takes 10 minutes or so b/c they make everything fresh. Cost is a little under $20 if you pay cash (3.5% more for credit cards). They have tons of variations & you can customize everything as well. Nice clean, bright store with fun NYC vibes. Overall an excellent sandwich which rivals the Classic Philadelphia ones but here in NYC! read more

So glad they finally opened one in the East Village, because the only location in NYC is in Staten Island. I love Philly cheese steak & I am no expert on them but this is my take on G's cheesesteak. Everyone thinks a good Philly cheesesteak starts with the meat, but I think it starts with the bread first. Their bread is made and baked daily which is always a major plus. If they have sesame I'd go for that because it adds just the right amount of texture and a subtle nutty flavor that takes the whole sandwich to another level. The steak was chopped perfectly--tender, juicy, and packed into every bite. Not cheap with the meat, & each bite was meaty. The Cooper Cheese was the real MVP: creamy, rich, and melted into the meat like it was born to be there. I like to keep it simple, no wiz cheese or any additional toppings. The only thing I would say (maybe it's an option) is that it got too salty (for my taste buds), so maybe next time I'll ask if they can skip the salt on the meat, since the cooper cheese itself is salty enough. You're thinking the food is too salty and you still give it 5 stars? Yes, I think it's still worth the 5 stars! read more

The most delicious cheese steak new location. Madison square garden. Soft opening perfection. The carmelized onions. Ooey gooey provolone cheese. The freshly baked sesame bread. It works. 2nd time there read more

First time visit, went to the counter, sorry we ran out of bread...it was in the early afternoon.....was instructed to come back in 30 minutes. Ok to help a new business , I came back 30 minutes later. Then the new new wait began, the sandwich finally arrives 20+ minutes later, the bread is not oven fresh, it's stale and nearly non edible, the sandwich had no flavor, oddly enough. Even after adding my own Maldon salt, it still had no flavor. And I ordered it with lettuce and tomatoes, and they had no tomatoes and never informed me just sent it out with lettuce.. sandwich was as dry as an old boot. Sorry I tried to love G's but it was like bad chain food not a yummy local spot. read more

G's Cheesesteaks - Stale bread fell apart - disappointing - Cheesesteaks Near Me - New York, New York

I was here with a friend a few months ago where we shared a couple other excellent cheesesteaks. I'm not exactly sure the reason why this place hasn't gotten the press some of the other cheesesteak places but they should definitely get it eventually as the quality is great, the portion sizes are more than large enough to justify the price point, and they have enough variety in the menu even for a place that specializes in cheesesteaks. The people in front were friendly as well. As there were two of us, we decided to split two and take home whenever was left. The former, which was my choice under G's Best, was the Prime Rib Steak with portobello, brown gravy, marsala sauce, and melted provolone for $17.99 making it I believe the priciest of the cheesesteak options. We got it with cooper sharp instead as I heavily prefer cheddar over provolone and it was excellent. The steak was thick but tender and the mushrooms added some texture. The marsala was solid with more flavor coming from the brown gravy and the mixture of brown gravy and cheddar was delicious though I think it would also work quite well with provolone also. This was excellent and I would order it again. The other person went with the Truffle Wiz Wit with fried onions, cherry pepper mayo, cooper sharp, and black truffle wiz on a seeded roll for $16.99. I was happy that the truffle flavor was present but not overpowering as I usually dislike most products made with truffle oil for this reason. This instead had a good balance with a light flavor of truffle along with the richer cheese flavor, mayo, and onions. This was also very tasty with the steak again having good texture though I preferred mine slightly. This was an excellent cheesesteak place and miles better than most others I've had before. I would probably get the onion marmalade steak next time or go back with the portobello but most of the option sound great. Go here before there's lines as there definitely should be. read more

Absolutely amazing cheesesteak! I got the classic which came piping hot completely smothered in cheese. I love that they cooked the steak with the cheese because it all melts perfectly together. The bread also held up well and didn't get all soggy. These are definitely on par with the cheesesteaks found in Philly, just a little more expensive because it's New York. There are also plenty of tables inside with a clean bathroom and quick service! read more

G's Cheesesteaks - The Classic Steak - Cheesesteaks Near Me - New York, New York

They just opened and they are overcharging. Check your receipt. There is no one on site to fix it. Th sandwich on display indicated 17.99 before taxes. They charged $18.70 before taxes. Onion rings displayed $7.25 charged $7.54. $1 overcharge before taxes and know can explain why! I made a purchase yesterday and earlier today. I just happened to look at today's receipt and yesterday's and they are overcharging. This raises concern on consumer overcharge and price transparency read more

The day started out trying to figure out where to get a great cheesesteak. After hours of contemplation and YouTube shorts, I decided G's was the way to go. The location definitely stands out and there's no way you can miss the location or walk past it. Inside is pretty clean and spacious but I can imagine that it can get packed as the day goes on. I went early afternoon. The cashier named April was very friendly and nice. No complaints there at all. Now on to the food. I decided to go with the onion marmalade cheesesteak and a side of animal fries. The pics are attached and may not be the best but trust me the food tastes way better than it looks. I ordered to go and had a 45 min drive to get home so a lot of presentation was lost. The onion marmalade has the most amazing, sweet, oniony taste. The sweetness really caught me by surprise yet it didn't overpower the cheesesteak. It definitely takes away the need for any sauce. The animal fries were pretty good. They are your standard animal fries that you can get just about anywhere. My one complaint with the fries though is that they didn't chop the burger and put them over the fries; they just threw the patty on top and sauced it. I would definitely recommend and I myself will definitely go back. The cheesesteak I had as I said is definitely an A+. I plan on doing the build my own option next go round though read more

These have to be the BEST!!! Philly cheesesteaks in NY. We ordered from G's for lunch at work. Most of my coworkers got the classic steak which is a can't miss. Since I had the classic previously I ordered the Cooper Sharp steak. The meat was seasoned perfectly not overly salty. The bread was magic, lightly toasted and holds the cheesesteak just right. The hidden gem at G's that you must get is the cheesesteak egg rolls which they cut in half and are perfect for sharing. read more

I've been coming here for a year, I live very close by. Cheesesteaks are really really tasty. I have 2 issues. 1. Lately my sandwiches have been in the lighter side with less filling 2. They REGULARLY close down well before the end of their stated business hours. Says they close at 9PM, and they're fully closed with chairs on top of tables at 8:15. Sometimes I call To ask what closing time is and it seems to be random and different each time, like "10:20 tonight" Food is great if you get there before then though, I'll definitely be back read more

Cheesesteak was good but service was bad. The young girl working the register was not very nice or happy. The wait was 15 min. She didn't mention that till after i had already paid? The cook refused to make my food bc we were white. After 20 min the girl noticed us still standing there, asked the name on our order then she put it together and handed it to me. While all the other orders were handled by the 2 cooks and brought to the front when ready. I would not eat there again if these people were running things. They really need to hire better workers read more

The Classic Steak: 4.5-5 stars Cheese Lover Fries: 4 stars stopped at G's Cheesesteaks on Halloween night to pick up a late dinner. G's Cheesesteaks serves up a menu of cheesesteaks (beef or chicken); cheese fries; chicken cutlet sandos, burgers, and more. located in Alphabet City on the corner of Avenue B and Houston St. it's a fairly new spot in the neighborhood. the interior is colorful, well-lit, and clean. there's a good amount of tabled seating, considering it is a medium-sized space. beverage wise, there are soft drinks and several beers on tap. ordered a Classic Steak (chopped Ribeye, fried onions, Cooper Sharp cheese, Cheez Wiz, on a roll) plus Cheese Lover Fries (Cooper's Sharp cheese, Cheese Wiz, bacon crumbles over French fries). the cheesesteak is legit good and made-to-order on the grill. really thin slices of grilled ribeye steak that has melted mix of cheese wiz and cheddar cheese and grilled onions--all sandwiched up on long soft roll. honestly, the cheesesteak is excellent. you can taste grilled seasoned beef (not dry at all, full of savory juices) melding with the sharp melted cheddar, the smoothness of the cheese whiz, and the caramelized softness of the grilled onions. beyond that, the rolls is so good--it's soft yet firm and absorbs all that beef, cheese, and onion goodness. the roll has to be freshly baked bc it really takes the cheesesteaks to a higher level. the cheesesteak being made to order makes the cheesesteaks also excellent because they come hot off the grill , get wrapped and bagged, and then ton you. there's is a bit of wait bc nothing is precooked but that is also why everything tastes so fresh and flavorful. Cheese Lover Fries were good. basically it's cheese fries with bacon crumbled over it. the French fries were super crispy and soft inside. the melted cheese sauce of Cooper's sharp & Cheese Wiz is rich, smooth, and what you want smothering the fries. tbh, i am a fan of bacon (ALWAYS) but it adds way to much saltiness and kinda takes away from the goodness of the cheese fries, themselves which are tasty by themselves. between the fries getting season plus the bacon, it makes it a little too salty for my preference. if i had to order it again, i would do so without the bacon. the service is very chill and hospitable. when i was there to pick my takeout order, it was clear they were getting ready to close up but my cheesesteak and fries were not rushed or anything and the quality of it was really good. I i could feel the heat of the sandwich and fries outta the bag. it was still plenty hot when i devoured both! great addition to Alphabet City and a delicious one at that. if you're a fan of the cheesesteak and are unwilling to drive to Philly...you have a quality option in NYC. read more

Went to G's Steaks recently after doing a Cheesesteak run comparing 2 other spots. I was pleasantly surprised. The Cheesesteak is on par with the other 2 we went to and has most selections compared to the other two such as selection of cheeses, bread and toppings (mushrooms, peppers, onions, etc.) beside their standard Cheesesteaks. Service and staff were friendly. Bigger eating area with chairs compared to the other 2 spots we visited and a clean bathroom. Always a plus. Will come back again when in the area. Plus they got other food items aside from Cheesesteaks. read more

G's Cheesesteaks - Chicken Cheesesteak - Cheesesteaks Near Me - New York, New York

Cheesesteaks are good but not the best I've had. I know it's crazy, but they do chicken here very well. Their tenders are big, not greasy and moist. I'll also take their Vodka Burrata Cutlet over the cheesesteak any day. The fries and fried mac n cheese were nothing special. The two items I would stay away from are the egg rolls. If they made some changes maybe I would try them again. First issue for me was how they cut the rolls lengthwise in half. Who does that for presentation? Cut it in the middle at an angle if you have to cut it at all. I get you want to make it look like a larger portion than it really is for what you're charging. Second issue are the sauces they DROWN it in. For the cheese steak it's a cloyingly sweet chili sauce that is so sweet, it tastes like dessert. For the buffalo chicken it's drowned in ranch and buffalo sauce. Having the sauce on the side would have instantly improved it. read more

I was in alphabet city and hungry. The big orange sign caught my attention and immediately made me hungry for a cheesesteak. They have a build your own section but I opted for the chicken chipotle sandwich. I was immediately regretting walking in when I saw the prices of the sandwiches but I decided to go for it. They have the option to go with a sesame bun or regular sub. I got the regular one and when it came out it was HUGE, like 2 meals worth! The chicken was well cooked and the chipotle sauce was great. It's got a clean bathroom and ample seating. The front cashier was nice too. They also have beers to wash it down with. At $20 for a sandwich and can of soda it could be kind of pricey but they gladly wrap it up for a meal later. read more

This is a great cheesesteak! It's as good as any I've had in Philadelphia, Jersey or anywhere else. Great bread, great insides. The shop is fast food style. Portions are large and prices compliment that. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a cheesesteak. We had a classic and the long hot. The long hot had sweet sausage, which gave some bites of heat and sweet. Pretty cool. The classic has whiz and Cooper Sharp. That is how you do it. read more

Yum!! Excellent variety of cheesesteak hero's/wedges. Skip the egg rolls and just buy a half sandwich. Well I mean try it they are good . I had the Truffle Wiz Wit cheesesteak and it's a 8/10 it's messy and that's ok . Could have been spicier and bread should be toasted as it's very soft. I opted for truffle mayo for the egg rolls which was a smart move as I'm not into sweet chili on savory food Staff are friendly and professional.They greeted me when I walked in. They are properly trained in the front and back The restaurant is very clean the work area is very clean ( have you ever been to Chipotle or Panera? They don't believe in clean as you go).

I like the cheesesteaks here, a bit of a travel from where I live but sometimes its worth the trip.

Wildly underrated tbh. The TikTokers haven't found this place yet but maybe one day they will. For the time being, there is usually no wait and plenty of place to sit. The people who work there are mad friendly. The buffalo chicken cheesesteak is top top tier. Little egg rolls are pretty dope too.

I'm used to coming here and having my order taken by an older lady who is has been nothing but sweet and pleasant. Today, 4/14, I came in around 4:40pm and there was a younger girl at the register with a very nasty attitude. I see on the receipt that her name is Kayla. We came in no hello no welcome and when I tried to order my sandwich in a bowl, she gave me a dirty look like she was confused. I tried to clarify and she rolled her eyes. When it came time to sign the receipt she threw down the pen. I couldn't help but laugh. It's a cheesesteak place it's not that serious. It's a shame because this was my first time bringing a friend. Terrible impression. read more
