Lunch with a coworker brought me here on a Friday noon around 12:50pm. It's on Marginal Way but…read moreparking here is best on the neighboring Carleton Ave S, which was hard to find parking at. There's two walk-up windows here but we used the one not facing the two outside seating tables and closer to the residential parking lot. Menu is plastered on the window we walked up to, and staff make your order and give it to you on the same window. There doesn't seem to be any restrooms from a first glance, and not much of a surrounding area as this is outdoors. We each got their steak sandwich with provolone cheese and onions. These sandwiches are pricey, but they're also huge! I didn't need to do a cheese pull; the hot cheese stuck onto the foil wrapping did that for me as I was pulling it off to take my first bite. The steak itself is in little bits and carries rich flavor, and is very tender; it pairs very well with the cheese and onion combo as well. The bread itself is soggy but it matches the texture of the rest of the sandwich so I actually liked that. As with any sandwich like this, it was messy but one of the best I've had. Service was very fast and friendly, and sandwiches are huge and filling! I'd come again if I was around the area.

I don't think you can ever go wrong with Calozzi's. Great place for a quick bite. The sandwiches…read moreare loaded with meat! I personally really like the pepper steak with provolone.

At first I thought, meh this restaraunt is super mid... then i realized it's actually a deli and…read morethat's when it hit me, this is super dope deli. Sandwiches are delicious and massive. They aren't cheap or expensive so you pretty much get what you pay for which aint a bad thing. The interior is medium sized and kind of cramped with lots of people making moving around feel a bit hectic. The decor is nothing fancy, very pioneer square. Which means the Location is dope and parking can be a city difficult. Overall I would recommend this location for lunch

Have walked by this shop dozens of times and finally stopped in…read more Got there around noon, and there wasn't a significant line, but Archie kindly pulled me over to another counter to take my order. Afterwards, he introduced me to condiment bar and underscored the suggested pairings. Great personality! My order was prepared quickly, and by 12:30 the place was packed. There is quite a bit of seating and baseball was playing on a couple of screens. The fries are interesting, reminiscent of fluffy mashed potatoes inside, with a crispy exterior. I didn't notice an Old Bay seasoning, but I don't know if that is standard or should be ordered specifically. The beef cheese steak (Tats way) is made with rib eye of a good quality. No fat, no gristle, and plenty of it. A generous portion of sautéed onions and peppers and a mixture of provolone and white American cheeses top the meat. Hot and melty. The bread does r get a bit soggy, and the filling spills out so make sure to grab a stack of napkins and a fork. I ordered an 8 inch sandwich and small order of fries, and it was a lot of food. I finished it, but started I get sleepy in the afternoon. Good solid sandwich.

We ordered the Pepper to share and it was an appropriate amount of meat, cheese and peppers placed in a toasty bun. We also ordered a side of tots, which were outstandingly crispy. Tres' is located inside the Lamplighter Public House. We placed our order at the bar and our order was brought out to us. Bonus: We went down to Shilshole to enjoy our cheesesteak and tots while watching the sunset. Good food and views!

The portions were generous, the food came out fresh, and you could tell they care about what they're serving. The banana pudding was the perfect way to finish the meal. Must-visit. Come hungry, because you're going to leave full and satisfied.

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 !

My son and I wanted to try one of the many food trucks that Cairn Brewery has on site and this day…read morewe got to try Cheesteak Madness. This place has great food and fast friendly service. Upon speaking with an employee, I discovered they are usually in the Maple Valley area but with now are able to travel up north for new places. I had the original with sweet/hot peppers, mushrooms, grilled onions and wiz. My son had the original with cheese. I was told they use the Ambrosia rolls from Philly and real rib-eye steak. We picked up the order and enjoyed them at Cairn over a couple of drinks. They also offered fries and dressed up fries for the really hungry people. Good food, for a fairly reasonable price makes Cheesesteak Madness a great choice. Also, they go great with beer!

Wings were cooked perfectly, juicy all the way through with simple seasoning that just works.

Solid spot to support in the Rainier Valley.

I'm from Philly and this place is the closest thing to real cheesesteak you will find on the…read moreleftist coast. In Philly we eat plain cheesesteak meat and cheese with black pepper. 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...

tl;dr - soft bread, delicious philly cheesesteak, clean and friendly…read more They do take a little while to make the sandwiches but they are always piping hot and fresh. 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.

We have been going to the Tat's Truck for yummy sandwiches for many years now - it's kind of…read moreembarrassing that I'd never thought to write about them until now. Tonight, they were at Hell Bent in Lake City. We love that this is a regular spot for them these days because it is the easiest location for us to get to on their schedule. My go-to is either the Chicken Philly or the Turkey Tatstrami since I don't eat red meat. Tonight it was the Turkey Tatstrami. My husband and son always go and pick up the sandwiches. The folks working the truck are so kind and *always* remember them. There's something to be said about being a regular and having a friendly rapport with these cool people. They are often super busy but recognize my family every time. :) There were a lot of people waiting for their food when we got there, but the line to order was short. Everyone was patient - they knew dinner was going to be good! These sandwiches are not for everyone. If you don't like ones that get really messy and require several napkins, this isn't for you. Well, at least the sandwiches that I always order, anyway. What I love: - the super friendly staff, always upbeat and welcoming - the crazy delicious sandwiches, wrapped in white paper (I just love when sandwiches are wrapped in white paper) - their steak sauce. You have to ask for it if you're not getting a cheesesteak sandwich. I always get some. It's tangy and zippy and goes great with their food What could be better: - it's not their fault but parking is sometimes challenging in that area. Hell Bent is popular so it is tough to find a spot in that lot If you love Philly Cheesesteak types of sandwiches, and don't mind getting your hands a little messy, Tat's is a solid choice.

This place has been here since before I could remember. I wanted a cheesesteak so I figured it's…read moretime I tried it out. GETTING THERE It's extremely easy to find. Heading from WA-16, you take the Sprague Ave exit and it will be on your right; at the corner of Earnest S Brazill St. PARKING There's plenty of parking if you want to walk up and order or eat there. AMBIANCE Not much for ambiance. It's just a burger stand with uncovered tables and chairs. I believe most people just use the drive thru. SERVICE I ordered at the drive thru. It's just like any other drive thru experience. There was one vehicle in front of me. It took about 10 min to get my food from the time I ordered, waiting for the customer in front of me, and paying the woman at the window. One note I'd like to make is that I was told they do not accept Capital One credit cards, which I found extremely weird. I thought she meant Mastercard so I was going to give her a Capital One card with Visa, but she was adamant that it was specifically Capital One that doesn't work. I didn't feel like arguing so I just used a different card. FOOD So I got myself a Philly cheesesteak. I've read the burger was good too so I also got a double cheeseburger meal. The cheesesteak was decent. All around had good flavor. The cheese was slightly overpowering in my opinion, but I didn't mind it. I just wish the cheesesteak was a little bigger. The burger was okay. It didn't really stand out compared the other options in the area. I personally enjoyed the cheesesteak more. The fries were good. Better than your average fast food fries. OVERALL I might come back. It's kinda out of the way from where I live and I have so many other options. But it's not a bad stop if I'm already in the area and in the mood for a cheesesteak.
