I was hungry for a cheesesteak and was curious about this place. Based on the previous reviews I…read morethought it was worth a try. I was also intrigued about the cheesesteak egg rolls. I hate to say it but I didn't like it. I ordered a cheesesteak and a chicken cheesesteak egg roll. My biggest complaint with both was the meat was chopped way too fine for me. I'm use to big slices of steak and chicken in my cheesesteaks. The sub roll was also not substantial enough to stay intact when I bit into it. It just fell apart. I will try this place again when I'm visiting the area because like I said earlier others thought it was great. I'll also go earlier next time because I overheard the cook say while I was waiting, "here comes the end of the night rush." They had some good foot traffic.

Let's get into it! This Cheesesteak Cafe is a "Mom and Pops Joint" located at Peninsula Town…read moreCenter. It serves Philly-style cheesesteaks, samplers, egg rolls, exceptional customer service, and some of the Best Wings I have had in the area! The restaurant is relatively small and gloomy, with enough seating to hold about 20 people for dine-in; however, this place is not a dine-in but a takeout place. I like that they put their full menu online, unlike other places that only put limited items. Service is outstanding; my first time calling in an order, the server not only told me how long it would be. Also, on this occasion, after calling in my order and completing the call, the server realized there was something that they did not have at the time. So she took the time to call and let us know and offered us something else. It was honorable in my eyes that she did that. Lastly, when I arrived, she double-checked to ensure my order was correct before I left the store. I had a cheesesteak, and my wife had the same. They were served hot, cheese melted all the way, and tasted terrific; the only problem was they were light with the meat. This is a very unique menu. They have sampler platters that can feed an army or combo platters that can feed two, and the price is right. You can mix and match them or have the pre-selected item. Now, let me talk about these wings. AMAZING! Fried to perfection, seasoned with a wet or dry rub, plain or on the side. These are cooked to order, so if you get wings to go, they are still hot when you get home. These wings are excellent, and you get them whole or halved. The wings are a must-try; they are some of the best in the area! I recommend you call ahead, but if you don't, there is a seating area where you can wait. I will be back! Happy Yelping!

Saved it on my maps for the next trip: Simple quick food, TWO sizes for mozzarella sticks AND good ones. Grilled sandwich, hot dog, corn dog, but I had to get a Philly!

We each got a Philly cheesesteak which came with fries, we each got a soft drink, and we ordered potato skins. The food was good, but it cost OVER $94. I could not believe it. We used to go there and it was never that much, it was reasonable. We nor anyone I can possibly talk to about this place will EVER go back. It is in a slummy area to begin with and the place is kind of a dump...not a nice place, and there are always sketchy people standing around in the parking lot. What a freakin rip off. DO NOT go to this place and get ripped off too. I know this place has recently gotten sold twice. To the new owner...I hope you fail!

It has honestly been ages since I've been here. I remember this place when I used to work in…read moreNorfolk. We'd always come out here and just destroy the deliciousness of the cheesesteaks. Me and my buddy are on a cheesesteak kick to find the best in the area. How did this fare? VERY delicious. The steak and seasoning were SPOT on awesome. The level of cheese and steak were just perfection. I had flashbacks of eating this cheesesteak and made the mistake of going somewhere close by for another... talk about a huge letdown. Had some fries as well on top of that and yep... awesome seasoning for them as well. When it comes to Cheesesteaks - this place is a solid 4.8... why the .2 less? The only thing that could make this perfect would be the bread. if they toasted it or changed it to make it that super crusty bread, these would probably be the best without even thinking. Overall, will be back and totally a must-visit. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 4 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 4 Ambiance: Very open kind of a dive with memorabilia on the walls of philly.

What an interesting place. I'm kind of a cheese steak nerd so some of my review may be a bit biased…read moreas I've had LOTS of different styles over the years. One thing to note is that this place is technically "The Cheesesteak Shop"... you'll see it on the menu when you come in. Rick's is a staple of a name in the Hampton Roads area. Rick's is a name that is synonymous with great Cheese Steak and if you visit them all you'll notice differences in the recipes/flavor amongst them. We were at the one in Williamsburg one week, then went directly to this one the next week later. This one, the meat is slightly more seasoned with pepper or something with a mild heat. Nothing crazy, just noticeable. The bread was a little wet and I really would've preferred it being more toasted. Overall, it was an 'ok' cheese steak. I was going to rate this a 3 but overall I give it a 4 b/c the service was friendly enough to warrant the boost.

I stopped in for lunch a couple of days ago. Basically all I want was a salad and a slice of pizza…read morewith two toppings. They had a special where you could get a house salad, and a slice of pizza with three toppings. I ordered pepperoni, mushroom, mushroom and the salad so she understood that I wanted just extra mushrooms. I did not want a third topping. When it came, I was pretty hungry. It was hot. It was fresh and I started eating the pizza and the pepperoni tasted just a little strange to me and then I looked at it and it was flat and kind of brownish. I chalked it up too. Maybe they use a different brand of pepperoni after I got halfway into it, it hit me, that's not pepperoni it is sausage. The place wasn't crowded, but I just could not seem to get her attention. I saw her the waitress, giving attention to other patrons, but I was feeling a bit left out. Honestly, the pizza did not taste bad, it tasted pretty good, I never ordered sausage, but if someone else does, I will eat it. I did not feel like any drama so I finished my pizza my salad, she didn't even come back to ask me if I wanted more to drink when she brought me my check, it was a lunch special, it did not cost much at all. I was pretty much satisfied in terms of my hunger, and the taste wasn't bad, but I felt the need to say something, so I left a note on the napkin it stated that I did not order sausage pizza, basically she didn't come back to check on me, and if I ever come back again, I would try the pepperoni and mushroom. I didn't leave a tip. It was a change that came with my change. It was a comfortable little spot, although I could smell what smell like a septic tank every now and then I wasn't sitting that close to the bathroom.

First visited here in March after attending an event that ran out of food. I loved the Chicken…read morePhilly. It was full of flavor and piping hot fresh off the grill. An older woman took my order and provided amazing customer service. My most recent visit here was not as great as my first. The order was called in because the wait time would have been about 30 minutes. I didn't have time to spare as I was traveling with two small children and didn't want to stop long. The first order they gave me wasn't my order and I'll take full blame for that because I gave her the wrong name. But when I did get my order and verified all of the items my order was incorrect. Everyone else's order on my ticket was fine. I personally do not like american cheese. I always order HAMburgers and never us the word cheese. It usually causes staff to double check if I want cheese and allows me the opportunity to verify what kind of cheese is available or inform them that I do not want cheese at all. There was american cheese on my hamburger and the options ordered were to cook a new burger or scrape the cheese off. No thanks. Unfortunately I did not have dinner from here during this visit. Everyone else enjoyed their food and I went and found a HAMburger with no cheese elsewhere.
