This spot is an oldie but goodie! I used to live in San Francisco many years ago, and The Cheese…read moreSteak Shop was always a must-stop for me back then. On our recent visit, I wanted my wife to experience their cheesesteak for herself. Parking is street parking only, so good luck -- you'll probably have to circle the block a few times before finding a spot. The place itself is small, with just a handful of tables, but it's the food you come for, not the ambiance. What made their cheesesteak stand out for me years ago were the sweet peppers. Unfortunately, they no longer use the same brand (they used to have San-Del sweet pepper strips in sweet brine). Now they use hot cherry peppers that appear to be canned specifically for them. It's not quite the same as I remember, but still good enough that I'd come back. My wife and I both had the original cheesesteak, and you can't leave without getting their steak fries -- they're a must. We enjoyed our meal, and I'd definitely stop by again if parking's available. This place has been around forever, and for good reason. Give it a try if you're in the neighborhood. Prices are standard for San Francisco.

On a cold late February night, I had unloaded the last box at my 'new' condo in Jackson Square. My…read moreimmediate neighborhood food options had long closed, but the close proximity to North Beach was an easy choice. Instead of poking around Yelp for inspiration, I decided to head out to Columbus Ave on foot around midnight on a Friday; smart move, right? As I sauntered past couple convenience stores, strip joints and pizza shops, I landed on Buster's. The brightly lit exterior and bustling interior piqued my interest. How had I never seen this place before? As soon as I stepped in, the smokey aroma of grilled beef and vegetables gave me hope. Without hesitation, I ordered the mushroom Philly cheesesteak with garlic fries. The to-go order was complete within a couple of minutes, and I didn't hesitate asking for a few square containers. (The sauce selection is admirable) I was seemingly able to walk back home at 3x the speed in which I arrived, and I fully attribute that to the anticipation of my first bite. After my first bite, I knew Busters was legit. The quality ingredients, well seasoned vegetables and crispy fries hit the spot; the portions were very generous as well. Highly recommend this place! (I'm also writing this review homage to National Cheesesteak Day, which is today, March 24th)

Their garlic fries were a little disappointing tho. I wouldn't recommend them. I definitely recommend getting the California style cheesesteak . I only had the regular beef cheesesteak and it was good but would've been greatt with the fresh tomato and lettuce. Their hotdogs were also good. And was probably the cheapest meal we had on our whole trip! The service was fast but they didn't seem to enthusiastic about serving people. They worked fast and minded their business. We ate inside and weren't really approached or asked if we were missing anything. Felt awkward to be there .
