    The food is always delicious!!! I've never gotten anything here I didn't enjoy…read more Service is extremely polite and quick. You can drive thru if you order ahead. Small dining area, but it's kept very tidy and clean.

    Back when I lived here, 20 years ago, Mama Noi's was my go to place for a meatball sub. These…read morethings were HUGH and one of the reason's I left here being big as the side of a barn. My buddy and I were riding around town on my recent visit back home and I decided I wanted to eat here since it had been so long. My buddy got excited too because he loves the steak and cheese subs which is essentially a Philly cheesesteak . Off the top, my sandwich was decent but unless I'm misremembering it, the sandwich contents are a lot smaller than they used to be. The meatballs used to be so big that the sandwich was basically an open face with two giant meatballs and a large slab of cheese melted over it. The sandwich today had wall smaller meatballs which were consumed by the bread. The majority of it was bread with hardly any meat and the cheese was melted across the top. Still, it did what it was supposed to do; filled me up. This place does great business and I'm sure they have other good sandwiches but I doubt I'll be back. The meatball sub has always been a favorite of mine but todays meal seem to give credence to the adage that you can't go home again.

    We were in the area and decided to have Big Dave's for lunch…read more The space is small, but they have a few tables inside that you can sit and enjoy your meal if you choose. You walk up to the counter and place your order, we were the only ones there at the time so ordering was fairly quick. The young lady that took our order was polite and patient with us while we decided what we were going to order. I ordered the steak cheesesteak Dave's way with no onions, and added mayo, lettuce and tomatoe. They have a few items listed for dessert, but we were told that they were out of the banana pudding at the time. Our food was cooked to order and was piping hot when we received it. They placed my lettuce and tomatoes in a separate container which I'm grateful they did, because the lettuce was old and had a brownish tint to it. The cheesesteak was cheesy and really good. As I was eating I just noticed how dirty the place seemed. Although the staff were nice on their downtime every one was on their phone. I think they could have used that time to clean off the sticky tables, swept and mopped the floor etc. Everything just looked a bit dirty. Service was decent and fast, the food was freshly prepared and tasted great. Sanitation was a 96, not great but not bad either. If they could clean this place up and keep up with it, I could see myself coming back more often. Happy my bestie brought me by to give it a try!

    This place made me LOVE Philly cheesesteaks. I never liked them (even when I was actually in…read morePhilly) until I came here. Now I'm obsessed. Absolutely incredible. The owner was also incredibly sweet and took the time to talk with us about how the team went to Philly and did so much research before opening this place. You can truly taste the care and effort that went into it! The prices are more than worth it in my opinion , and every time we're in Charlotte, this is a must stop for us. Mouthwatering, packed with flavor, and absolutely worth any wait. I honestly wish they'd open one in Raleigh because we'd be there every single week. This place is officially a staple for us, and I cannot rave about these cheesesteaks enough. Thank you for serving the community and honestly don't listen to any review that isn't 5 stars.

    Update: Mgmnt has reached out to offer a full refund. I was very impressed at how quickly and…read moregraciously they not only messaged me to apologize, but also that they offered to refund based on the situation. While it was not a great first impression, I will be willing to give this place a second chance based on the follow-up alone! In times where customer courtesy and being a customer-conscientious business seems to have fallen to the wayside of pure profit and capitalism, I have to give full kudos as to how quickly and kindly this situation was handled. Well done and thank you for making me feel seen, heard, and valued!!! Just goes to show, voicing your experiences on these kinds of platforms can result in action :)

    Been wanting to check out these guys for awhile but could never catch their truck close to me…read more Today I hit it up on my lunch hour and after looking over the menu i went with the classic philly. I havent been to Philadelphia for awhile but this was definitely in the ball park of a legit Cheesesteak and one of the best ive had. Some purists might not say its authentic, but it had the right roll, wit wiz and it was delicious so that works for me. The "Philly" had plenty of meat and wasnt too greasy that would have made it fall apart. Kings is doing a great service to the community by making these available to the triangle so you need to go do your part and eat one right now.

    Not my favorite cheese steak and certainly not freshly shaved ribeye, but a nice food truck. When…read morewe questioned the owners about their cheese steak they claimed to be all Philly and more but what we discovered was not all Philly. Sadly the bread of choice was not my favorite amoroso and the whiz was really runny. Now don't get me wrong the sub was still delicious but just not worthy to claim the title authentic. For me to be authentic one must have the right bread, the right thickness of cheese whiz, fresh cut vegetables and the freshly shaved rib eye beef. The problem was none of this was right. Their veggies were canned mushrooms cut peppers and onion. The meat was frozen probably Philly steak or steakums. Finally the sauce was just way off. One could possibly drink the fat off of their sub. Certainly not the best and would only try this again out of desperation.
