Located beside Hell Crust (former Fresh Slice) underneath Cineplex in Metrotown. Plenty of parking as it is inside the mall - has about 5 tables from what I can recall. You can hear the music from the mall , however i don't believe they had any of their own tunes playing. You can easily have a conversation here. However, because of the small seating/eating area, you will sometimes have other customers staring you down to leave so they can take your table. It's a busy mall I get it, but please don't be the person staring others down. Service was okay, nothing special, they greet you and you order , followed by waiting for them to call your order number. Ordered the Cowboy - with the fries and drink add on to make it a combo - and found it to be on the pricier end of things. After taxes and "Tip" it was nearly $25. Some may say that is average , it's in the mall , rising costs and such, which I understand. But I just didn't feel like the portion or quality measured up. Fries were okay , tasted like Kirkland Costco fries - nice crisp - however seasoned poorly as some pieces were way to salty , while others just tasted like a plain potato. The cowboy mentioned crispy onions - did not taste any of that - Spicy BBQ sauce was on the sweeter side. - the bun was pretty dry - and the fillings were lifted , and wasn't actually enough to fill the entire sandwich. Can of mountain dew - well it was a canned drink so it was fine. As there is tons of other food options in the mall - i will unlikely visit this one again. Hope everyone else has a better experience , if you decide to give it a go. read more

The American Cheesesteak - Cowboy - Sandwiches Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Located right below Metropolis at Metrotown mall's Cineplex theatre (by the stairs). Only 2 tables open for dine-in, but feel free to order take-out or delivery. My order: -Japanese Style Cheesesteak: my personal favourite - juicy sautéed mushrooms & onions, aged cheddar, wasabi mayo and of course premium ribeye steak slices. It's saucy, and the cheese blend enhances the flavour. -Koagie (Korean Hoagie): Kimchi was good (not too sour or spicy), so I could comfortably eat it. -New Yorker: the classic if you don't want to venture away from a "normal Philly cheesesteak" - topped with fresh tomatoes and lettuce Overall, the hoagie roll was soft on the inside, and a good chewy texture on the outside. I reheated mines in the microwave, and it still tasted good several hours later. These cheeseteaks are more saucy than the traditional cheesesteaks, which I personally enjoyed as every bite was filled with flavour. Very filling - best to share if you want to try different flavours. I also really liked their assortment of cheeses (no fake Cheez-Whiz stuff, sorry if you like that though), I think they use aged cheddar, provolone, and some others in a cheese blend. They definitely don't cheap out, and use a generous portion of tender/sliced prime rib steak. All cheesesteaks are made-to-order on a grill when you place your order. -Onion Rings: skinny-style -Deep Fried Pickles: good thick cut of pickles to breading ratio -ACC Fries (Garlic Butter & Parmesan): classic thick cut fries with a very "potato-y" flavour -White Chocolate Blueberry Milkshake: quite sweet, definitely for people that have a sweet tooth Also, I definitely have to mention the house-made sauces, they're so good for dipping the onion rings, pickles, and fries (cheesesteaks were saucy enough, so I didn't need it there). My personal favourites were the roasted garlic aioli, smoke Chipotle BBQ (not to overpowering or salty), and mustard (real mustard seeds). read more

Had the Philly. Classic American sandwich. Great amount of steak. Made hot and fresh. I took this home and it was still hot ten plus minutes later. They wrap it in a foil to keep the heat. Good bun. Maybe put it on the hit grill for a little extra toast action. Great ask around, could use more cheese. Ajay this is hot and it tends to melt that American cheese. Maybe a Wiz action or add more cheese to fill out the Philly experience. Forget Ronald.. Go upstairs for something you can't get everywhere. read more

I used to go to this place all the time and order the same thing, the quality at that time was incredible. As time went on the quality started to get worse. I just went here recently and I can say it's been a fall from grace. Im shocked as it has became so much worse than before. Im hoping something changes because this is still a very good place to eat at. read more

We came before a movie, just something quick and easy and the Viet sub was tasty and filling. The seating area is very small, but we got a table and waited for our meals. The loss of star was simply because we both agreed that the meat needed to be cut a bit more. It was one huge long piece and hard/messy to eat. The staff is very friendly and tries to accommodate a lot of people very quickly. It was an extremely busy time, right at dinner time, so they served us in to-go containers, as I guess some people don't find seats and need to eat in the mall. read more

The American Cheesesteak - Viet sub 8/10 - Sandwiches Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

I enjoyed a lobster shrimp melted cheesesteak ($13). It was basically a lobster roll with cheese. It was made with a nicely toasted hoagie roll. The filling was mainly shrimp with bits of lobster. I did enjoy the flavours of mayo, dill, and celery mixed in. It was a bit pricey for a snack, but I thought it was worth the splurge. I have eaten better lobster rolls elsewhere, however, this is a convenient location to fulfill your seafood sandwich cravings. read more

I didn't know there was an American Cheesesteak at Metrotown. We were shopping on Black Friday and were exhausted and hungry. We suddenly saw the giant TV screens (showing their meaty sandwiches with sauces coming out) at The American Cheesesteak. Its like seeing an Angel suddenly popup. Yes no kidding. We ordered the Frenchie and New Yorker. One with fries and the other with onion rings. I have to say both sandwiches were delicious. Lots of sauce and meat.Love their onion rings. All freshly made in front of you. The owner is very friendly. He even asked us how it taste. The American Cheesesteak is not located in the food court. Its hidden inside Metropolis below the Cinplex. There are about 4 or 5 tables. Decor clean. Good choices in drinks. Definitely will come back to try their other sandwiches. read more

Terrible food. Bad service. Avoid this place. Cheesesteak is not a cheesesteak. It's on a toasted bun and has meat and cheese melted on top. More of a meat melt. read more

Excellent and very friendly service. The cheesesteak was so good. I will go back there again very soon.

We were standing in front of the ice-cream waiting for a server to come to us. However, the Asian young male server who stood behind the counter on the other side just moved his head and glanced at us, and then he looked the other way. He did not come over to serve us. It was very odd; why would the server be so arrogant? We left. P.S. I had tried their ice-cream a long time ago. It was very sweet and not worth the price. So I do not understand what makes them so proud of themselves that they think they do not need more business. read more

When going to see a movie at metrotown I always go to american cheesesteak beforehand. It's super close to the theater and I have never had a bad experience here. One of my favorites is the frenchie. It comes with sauteed onions, brie cheese, dijon mayo, balsamic reduction and arugula. A different approach to a traditional cheesesteak. It is seriously tasty and is worth a try if you are feeling a little adventurous. $13 a sandwich it is a bit on the pricer side. However the sandwich is huge and left me more then full. I almost had trouble finishing it..... almost. Every time I have visited, the service has always been super friendly. For good food and service I will come back again and again. The only minor downside is the seating, it is a bit limited. Only a few tables and chairs. Other then the limited seating this place is great! American cheese steak definately wins out over a busy food court any day! read more

Food was actually great. Management was completely mental. He was going to call security on me while he was cooking my $29 order? Tall Asian man. Would not tell me his position or name. Think he did not like me speaking French with his female coworker from France??? Asked for a refund because I did not trust him to make my order properly and refused 10 more times. Ate the angry food. Pretty good but not worth dealing with crazy!!! read more

The Philly Cheese Steak is missing something. Not sure what, but it's missing something. I want to say the read could be warmer. More meat more cheese. Better tasting cheese? I'm not sure I can't put my finger on it. I order the Philly Cheese Steak every time. I've only been here 3x either before or after a movie upstairs. Little bit of a wait, so if your in a hurry maybe come back. I'll have to try something different to see if this place is ultimately the go to place for a Cheese Steak in Burnaby? read more

I was basically gonna grab dinner with one of my classmates from school when suddenly he decided to bring the future Mrs. So we decided that we would head to American Cheesesteak Co over this place because I know for a fact that these sandwiches would be so filling that if they ordered a meal for that, they would be having a midnight snack of fries and a coke it was that filling. I ordered the classic because there is nothing like having the original.There was lots of beef and it was covered onions and provolone cheese. It was so messy that my classmates were picking up food from the wraps.They tried the New Yorker and the Big Shot. They enjoyed their sandwiches as it was literally loaded with so much food that they realized it was such a steal for the price. We managed to get water just because we were trying lower our calories. It is conveniently located on the 2nd level just across from Kawawa AYCE. This is the 2nd location in the AC Franchise as the original location is in Downtown on Davies Street. I was referred to this restaurant by the guys on TEAM 1040 Sports Radio where they first mentioned about this place. They seem to never disappoint me. read more

This place is in Metrotown Mall near Old Navy and the CHQ video arcade. We ordered the mini Phillies meal combo and the Monster Poutine. The Meal Combo came with a drink with free refills. Food qualitywise, I would say everything was fresh. All of the items we're made to order. There are daily specials such as a beefwrap with a fountain drink for $2.99 read more

I haven't had the best experience with cheesesteaks so I decided to try the poutine first. Wait time was a bit long but it might have been because they were still prepping the food items. Service was very friendly. The poutine was tasty albeit a bit on the heavy side (but when is poutine ever NOT on the heavy side?). Fries were crispy with just enough seasoning and relatively thick too. They looked and tasted like freshly cut. The gravy was a good consistency and I liked the slight kick that came from what I presumed was peeper. The cheesecurds took a while to melt and were pretty standard. The poutine was garnished with some... Parsley? It made the picture a bit prettier but didn't add much to the taste. Maybe next time I'll brave an actual sandwich. read more

The American Cheesesteak - Poutine. Waiting for the cheese curds to melt.... - Sandwiches Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Let me preface that my reason for this average review is due to the business model it holds. Had the philly cheese with mushrooms. Came to 11.55. Roughly 4 oz of beef with about 2 oz of provolone and about twelve mushrooms at a 1/8th slice. The mushrooms and onions were not noticeable. The baguette was good but the beef was just bleh. Had this place been a fastfood staple and offered the sandwich as a combo for a $ten, then it'd be decent. But Its not a memorable spot and i wont be going back. Probably worth a shot for anyone interested though, but my picture posted kind of paints the picture. read more

Pretty good...meat is tender, lots of onions, cheese & mushrooms. Buns are so perfect and soft. I ordered the mini classic combo with fries. The "mini" is not so mini. It's the size of a regular sandwich while the regular is huge! For $8 the mini & fries is a great deal for what you get. There are so many different styles to choose from...I can't wait to try it out again. Few nice seats & booths inside. We were able to catch a nice bite before heading to a movie upstairs. read more

The American Cheesesteak - Best of the best. - Sandwiches Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Full disclosure: I am close friends with one of the employees. The American Cheesesteak operates very similarly to Fatburger. It is one of those "not a restaurant but not fast food" places that people either love or hate. There are multiple types of cheese steaks on the menu as well as a large selection of ice cream/milkshakes. The main issue people will have is the cost of the sandwiches however the sandwich is loaded with whatever ingredients you chose to put in. My personal favorite is The Cowboy which has bbq sauce & is loaded with crispy onion straws. The American Cheesesteak gets 5 stars from me for the sole reason that I cannot think of a single place in Burnaby/Vancouver that comes close to the sandwich you will be getting here. There was one that may compare but unfortunately is no longer available. read more

I've been coming here since they opened up. Got to say it became one of my favourite places in metrotown pretty quickly. Their sandwiches are filling and delicious. I usually get classic or egg and steak. The people there are very friendly which makes the place more attractive. The gorgeous Asian girl at the cashier once gave me a 10% discount for going there 3 days in a row. The owner even offered me more fries for free when he saw me eating the small bits of my plate. If you are in metro and looking for a good sandwich I totally recommend this place. Oh did I mention they also have gelato? Today I tried the monster poutine and it's worthy of its name. read more

I am surprised by the lack of reviews for this place. Just found out about this place recently and I probably will come back there soon again. It's actually pretty good, food quality is completely on a different level than most of the Metrotown food court restaurants. So far, I tried traditional Philly Cheesesteak and Monster Poutine, both were very delicious. Beef practically melts in your mouth, it's very soft and delicate, amount of cheese is also just right. My advice is if you find yourself hungry in Metrotown, try this place instead of going to the foodcourt, you might just find what you looking for. It's good to see a new place in the metro area, hope more people will come and try it! read more

Pretty much as good as the downtown one... very casual, and tiny seating area (really constrained by their lease space... so I guess the best they can do for now). The first time we just went for regular cheesesteaks... second time I went for one that a co-worker ALWAYS (and I mean ALWAYS) gets... wife, she tried the bulgogi/kimchi one. Mine was the Cowboy... it was ok, but just overwhelmingly tasted of bbq sauce. The wife's was just spectacular! Such an awesome sandwich! If in the mall, and hungry... I'd keep coming back. read more

Great sandwich shop with really friendly owners. You could tell the man at the counter was proud of the shop, which comes across in the quality of the food.

The food is overpriced and I had a bad experience here. Food took waaaaay too long and we were the only ones there and they also messed up my order and gave me something that was cheaper than what I paid for. I had to ask them to change it so that took even way longer. Does it taste good? Yes Is it worth it? Not in my opinion read more

I have come back a half dozen times for the 3 cheese sandwich alone. Husband has tried something different each time and his review is your good with whatever you choose - it's bound to be amazing. The owner is a really nice fellow who seems to actually enjoy his job and the people he serves. Small place - only 3 tables in store, mall bench located outside.

Gross. Worst than average (mall) food. Meat way too salty, fries and onion rings hard and overly fried. Are peeps from Surrey and those with impaired taste buds now coming to metrotown and leaving positive comments for this place? TAC has also had issues with the health department in the past....that should be enough of a warning but of course. However, they supposedly learned from their mistakes, right? read more

The food is fantastic and it is really cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will definitely comeback next time

I used to get a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich here whenever I went to Metrotown, but the owners changed their bun since the last time I visited, and it's just awful. They used to use a high quality bun that was supplied by Cobs Bakery which was lightly oiled on the outside, with a light crisp crust, and with a good soft texture on the inside. Now they've replaced their bun with what seems to be a cheap generic hot dog bun which they probably got from Costco or something. It's tasteless, too dense and crumbly, and the cheap white bread flour just overtakes the meat and cheese. You can't even taste what you're eating. They posted up a really bad quality 8X11 notice announcing their bun change, which looks like it was printed on a used newspaper, then photocopied. I kind of got a vibe that they've changed ownership of the franchise. There were other homemade looking signs saying that they were selling other things not related to cheesesteaks. With the 10 minute wait per sandwich, high prices and the bad bun, I won't be coming back here till they change their bun back. read more
