    Amazing!!! A super hole in the wall place, great prices and hot hot food that comes out with good servings. Owner was friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. Enjoyed the food and scarfed down the fries that came with it. Hot and cold sandwiches are a must in SD!

    #1 the works, no lettuce or tomato, corn dog.

    Over 45 minutes plus wait for food. Absolutely ridiculous and ruined my lunch. I have 1 hour I came here with my girlfriend, she ordered fries and a corn dog ($6 mind you). Still, 45 long grueling minutes. One cook, two stand arounds. Came on a Friday, had about 4 people in front of me. Subpar customer service. Cold bread, not toasted. Quality meat, if it weren't for the customer service, I'd go back.

    Original Philly Steak

    I've driven by this place a few times on my way to work and finally decided to stop in. The owner was super cool and gave great customer service. Being our first time here, we were warmly greeted and the menu was explained to us. The menu has plenty to choose from, but we came specifically for the Original Philly Steak. I've never had lettuce or tomato on a Philly before, but it was actually a nice touch! The onions added flavor, though I would've loved a bit more seasoning and maybe some peppers for that full Philly vibe. For the price I had hope for more in terms of flavor and juiciness of the meat. The cheese was good and had a great melt but it wasn't enough to add to moistness of sandwich. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to ask customers if they'd like mayo or a house sauce on their sandwich or on the side since the bread is quite hearty. The fries were definitely a highlight -- fresh, crispy, and cooked to order. The also have other sides including chips, macaroni salad etc. see menu in photos The ambiance is laid-back with a chill vibe, and the 70s-90s classics playing in the background made the experience even better. The space can easily accommodate small to medium groups. Prices are moderate, but hey, it's steak. Next time I'll be trying the Works Philly Steak, which sounds like the traditional Philly with a twist (hello, mushrooms!). Checking out if you're in the area! I'm giving a 4 star because customer service.

    This supposed to have mayo, lettuce and tomato and of course cheese.

    Very bad food. Nothing like we ordered. Waste of $50 with uber. Saggy bread nothing just meat that taste like cardboard

    Photos are from two separate occasions showing how great the consistency is here. I love this place, Owner is super cool, they get local fresh bread daily, high quality meat, hot and fresh every time. This place is delicious highly recommended to anyone who loves a good Philly. They also have a full deli menu! I've only tried a hot pastrami which was also . Great food and service, will continue to come back

    the Steak Works
    Rocky R.

    This is the old school best place in EC for a Philly cheese steak. They will customize it however you like and we did the works w mayo and avo on the side. Simply delish, try the steak fries cause they're a meal by themselves.

    Works sandwich. 10/10

    Absolutely delicious sandwich. Stepping inside the store made me feel like I was in Philly. "The works" was incredible and great sized portion for the money. I will definitely be back.

    Passed by the place a couple times, finally stopped and this place did not disappoint. I now stop every chance I get, and every time it's 10 out 10, people who work there are super friendly. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

    Burnt bread

    Great service but I get home and the bread is burned making it so the sub tastes burned! The beef and the rest has a good taste but was overpowered by the burnt taste unfortunately. Also I know you know the bread is too burnt to give to a customer, it was a simple fix but noticed when I got home

    Philly Cheese Steak
    Nayeli L.

    I've been craving a Philly for the last 3 days (I'm pregnant) and because my friend was gonna visit me and they were in that area I asked if they could bring me a cheesesteak based on the reviews. I'm a big fan of Philly Cheesesteaks so I have high expectations. Took the first bite & I didn't really taste any seasoning, the meat was dry and even the veggies didn't have much flavor. I added some salt & onion powder and it made a bit of a difference. I've never had lettuce or tomatoes in my cheesecakes before so it kinda threw me off. I do give it 2 stars only because I did order fries and those were actually pretty good! They were thick and they were still very crunchy, I really appreciated that part of my meal. Maybe the person making my sandwich didn't add enough seasoning but overall I don't think I would personally come here

    These guys have been a reliable place to get a very good sandwich for some time now. I did not know…read morethat they had one available in East County too, however. I ordered the Sky Park Sandwich on Wheat. It comes with EverRoast Boar's Head sliced chicken breast, Pepper Jack Cheese, and bacon. You can add more ingredients if you like off a list. I added red onions, tomatoes, and lettuce with oil and vinegar for $13.49 plus tax. You can choose from a little side of macaroni or potato salad. The sandwich was very good, but they did add alfalfa sprouts in the sandwich. There must have been a miscommunication when I said now way to the sprouts. I picked out the most I could. The deli chicken was very tasty and so was the Pepper Jack Cheese. I liked the wheat bread but it was a little on the dry side. I expected it to be a little moister, but it did tasty good. Overall, the sand was good. The service was good, too. The young man did a good job explaining the process and did a good job putting the sandwich together with the exception of the sprouts.

So I got 2 scoops and when rung up at the counter, I was told it was 13.98. Of course I paid it because I had already gotten it and didn't want to be rude. Blah. That and had to wait 20 mins to park in this establishment because they were towing a Tesla in the lot. Left such a sour taste in my mouth. Edit: You can look for my car in the parking lot circling around 10-15 minutes working around the tow truck, even waiting in the lot and then moving as other cars were trying to navigate their way around the lot. The food here is good that it was worth it in my eyes even with this inconvenience. I drive all the way from East county to come here because there aren't other spots like this. Regarding the incident, I can easily provide Life360 map pictures to show my drive, route and duration if you would like actual proof. I was told that the 2 scoops would be 9.99 by the woman. The single scoops are 6.99. I'm aware of this. I asked that the 2 scoops be in 2 separate cups so that my friend and I can share - not that I got 2 separate single servings. Then I got rung up at 13.98 in the front by the cashier. But you know what.. Good to know that this is how you respond to people as a business owner; it's actually so sad that you responded the way you did because instead of looking for clarification, you decided to say that I was not being honest.

The customer service is always friendly, welcoming, and genuine -- the kind of neighborhood energy you just don't get everywhere anymore. It's not a huge space inside and the decor is a little outdated, but honestly that's part of the charm. This is a small business with a BIG impact, and the community clearly supports them because the food quality speaks for itself -- everything is fresh. My go-to order is the Big Chomp on a lettuce wrap when I'm trying to cut carbs but still want to be full. They split open a head of crisp iceberg lettuce and pack it with meats like turkey and beef, plus all the sandwich veggies -- onions, tomatoes, pickles -- and whatever condiments you want. It's crunchy, refreshing, and so satisfying that you honestly don't even miss the bread. Now when I'm extra hungry, their breads are fresh and the sandwiches are top-notch across the board. You really can't go wrong. Just a heads up -- they close at 3 PM daily, so if you're not there by then, you'll have to catch them another day. You can call ahead or stop in, but either way you won't be disappointed. PSA: Don't forget to grab a sandwich punch card. Rack up those punches and you'll earn a free sandwich. Thank me later
