Kyle Mastropietro, who also owns Kasai restaurant next door and will be opening a craft beer tap…read morehouse in the former Blue Tusk down the street, has now opened Danny's Steaks in Armory Square, a restaurant he says is what he came to CNY for: bring cheesesteaks created by a born-and-raised Philadelphia chef. This Philly boy cooked his first cheesesteak in Lee's Hoagie House when he was 12. When Charlee's Pizzeria next door to Kasai went out of business after just a few months, Kyle struck a deal with his landlord to take over that storefront. Before Charlee's, it had housed Provisions Bakery for 32 years. This place has been getting a ton of attention since it opened a couple days ago on all the local food groups and news, so I added it to my list figuring I'd check it out when the hype died down in a couple weeks. But today I was out early running errands and figured I'd try to call right when they opened and place a pick up order for a couple hours later, hoping I'd give them enough time notice that I could luck out without the long waits while I ran my errands. I called in right at 11, got through after a couple tries, and placed my order for 1. I got down there a little early, but they're on Walton St, so it gave me enough time to stalk the street a little bit and wait for a parking spot to open. This is a notoriously difficult street to usually find parking on, especially on a weekend, but I lucked out in grabbing a spot right in the tiny parking lot next to the building. I walked in at 1 and food was ready when I got to the counter. Good amount of people inside waiting, but I was able to go right to the counter. Woman at the counter was very friendly. Got home and the wife and I tore in. I got a pizza steak, while my wife just got a cheesesteak wit whiz and we both got a side of curly fries. The wife thought it was decent but wasn't as impressed as I was. I thought they were great, a little sloppy, but the meat was good quality, tasted great, sauce was great, and the homemade roll was great. Could've used a little more pepperoni though. I love me some curly fries, and theirs are great also, and the homemade cheese sauce was tasty. $33 for two cheesesteaks and two fries, so not too bad price wise. A sub and fries was more than enough for a meal, they do not skimp you on meat at all. Now, I won't say they blow every other place in CNY outta the water, as I feel Gino's Steak in Fayetteville is a VERY close second, but I'd definitely go back if in the mood for a cheesesteak again.

Stopped in at about 7:30 on a Tuesday evening. There was only one other table of patrons in the…read morerestaurant besides myself. I stopped in after noticing it the last time I ate at Sakana-ya across the street- it's a very unassuming storefront. I ordered the Steak Whiz Wit, an order of fries, and a bottle of water. Total came to 18.05- maybe just a hair expensive but you'll struggle to find a similar meal elsewhere any cheaper so it is what it is. The sandwich was pretty good as far as I'm concerned. Good balance of wiz, onions, and steak. The roll, for me, didn't do much but it did hold up very well and proved to somehow be one of the least messy cheese steaks I've ever eaten. The curly fries were also very tasty. Hot and crispy with a nice seasoning. I truthfully don't particularly care for curly fries in general but I certainly found myself enjoying these. The restaurant itself appeared to be incredibly clean so that's a plus. However the whole aesthetic is pretty barren and somehow reminded me of the scene in Willy Wonka where they're wearing the white suits. Not my taste but it looked clean. Only comment is that the only menus are handheld at the register. This could be an issue if there's any type of line, not to mention the potential to pass on germs. That's about my only complaint. I'll certainly be back.

My oldest son wanted to take me there for lunch one last time, since it was a favorite place of his. We showed up a few minutes after they opened and it was already busy. But, since it was their last day, I figured they would have a lot of customers who wanted one last sandwich. We ordered two of my son's favorites: Steak cheese and onion and fries. Let me say that both were excellent. I would easily order these again. The decor was eclectic, the music was Grateful Dead type stuff, and the beer selection was pretty amazing. It is a shame that they are closing. And sadly, it had to do with the owner of the property not renewing the lease. Why does everything have to be about money?

They even use Amoroso rolls straight from Philadelphia. Definitely worth a side quest if you're in the area or enroute to nearby Green Lakes State Park.

The first time I went was during the lunch rush, and honestly, it was amazing. Before I was even fully inside, the staff greeted me, asked if it was my first time, offered me samples, walked me through the menu, and gave recommendations based on what they personally liked and what they thought I'd enjoy. They even explained which sauces paired best with different items. The energy in the restaurant was so upbeat and welcoming, even though they were incredibly busy. They treated every customer that way, and it really made me feel like they value both their employees and their customers. That positive atmosphere definitely stood out. On top of that, the food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I left thinking, "I'm definitely coming back." My second visit was around the start of the dinner rush, around 6:00-6:30 p.m., and it was a completely different experience. The staff was still kind and polite, but the energy just wasn't the same. It felt much quieter and less engaging than my first visit. I also paid for extra sauce because I remembered wanting more the first time and having to pay for it, but my meal came without any sauce on the food--it was only on the side. When I asked about it, they had no problem fixing it and were very friendly about it, which I appreciated but it just seemed odd that the first time my food was made with sauce included. Unfortunately, the food itself also didn't taste quite as good as it did during my first visit. I haven't tried any of the desserts yet, but they looked incredible. The cake slices are HUGE--I honestly think one slice could easily be shared between two or even three people. At around $7.99, I think they're reasonably priced considering the portion size. Overall, I also found the menu prices to be fair, and there's a great variety of options to choose from. Because my experiences were so different, I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5. If my second visit had matched my first, this easily would have been a five-star review. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'll probably stick to going during lunch since that first experience was so memorable. For anyone wondering what I ordered, I got the chicken and lamb halal over rice. It came with onions, tomatoes, and a few other toppings (I don't eat onions, so I can't remember everything that was included), along with a piece of naan bread. During my first visit, I couldn't decide between breakfast and lunch, and the staff recommended I try the rice platter--and I'm so glad they did because it was delicious. I still couldn't resist ordering a side of French toast, though, and that was a great choice too! Everything was generously portioned, and I left full both times with left overs. I do believe they told me they serve breakfast all day as well.

Cost was a little high and didnt match menu price ( was about $2 more than advertised, $2 isnt breaking me just prefer to pay whats advertised.).

I finally made the drive out to Marcellus and got my hands on one (maybe 2, lol). The shop is so delightful. Upon entering, you are welcome with amazing wall art that represents Syracuse and our local sports teams. If you could combine a sports bar & sandwich shop in one that's the vibe Holy Cow gave. I ordered 2 subs. A traditional classic philly with just steak, cheese & mayo. As well as their Holy Smoke steak sub, which came with an array of hot peppers and onions. The bread rolls Holy Cow uses are the exact same rolls that are used in most sandwich shops in Philadelphia, so right off the back, we were off to an amazing start. My lunch date devoured their Holy Smoke steak sub, stated that it was perfect, and needed no additional items. I kept and simple with my order, and while it was good, I do wish I would have added some veggies to give it a little more flavor. The steak is tender, the subs are very filling, and they definitely are not stingy with the meat. Service was super friendly and kind. We chose to dine in, and this place stayed consistent with customers coming in for the entire 45 min that were there. Everyone was greeted, attended to, and received their food quickly. I will definitely return, I am interested in trying out their chicken philly very soon.
