Delicious meal @ The Cheese Steak Shop in Chico, CA. !! I placed a to-go order at the counter with a fine young gentlemen, who was courteous and friendly. The restaurant itself was modest and somewhat dated, but clean with an ample amount of tables and chairs. There were also straightforward instructions on a wall and a detailed menu above the ordering counter. We enjoyed a full Western Cheesesteak, half of a Classic, and perfectly cooked curly fries. Everything was delicious! The tender meat and melted cheese paired great with their fresh, flavorful hot & sweet peppers!! We would eat here again when we make it back to Chico for sure! Thank you. read more

They are friendly enough, they make them fresh, but they are SO EXPENSIVE!!! The store always looks like it needs a good scrub. I wish they would put the peppers/onions IN the sandwich not ON the sandwich. For half the price and a better sandwich-Jersey mikes. read more

The sandwiches were fantastic. The three of us each ordered a different sandwich and gave them five stars. Served hot and with melted cheese superb! The sweet potato fries were very tasty and an excellent addition to our meal. Are you hungry? May I suggest The Cheese Steak Shop?!?! read more

Employees are great, but there's no way in hell this is a King sandwich. The 4th time it's come out like this. I remember the real king Sammy 5 years ago and this ain't it read more

So I originally called to make a complaint which I'm not actually not going to talk about surprisingly because as a yelper, you're supposed to remind people where to get good food. The food was delicious. There was one small problem and at this point again, not a big deal because I appreciate good customer service more than anything. Nobby owners... I want you to know Cordelia has the most wonderful customer service skills in what I'm assuming is a fairly young lady. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know you did good tonight Cordelia again not that I was calling to be ugly or anything. I just wanted to let y'all know what happened still couldn't find it though that's between you and me. Anyway will be absolutely going back. I work on campus with college students and I just want to say good job developing good skills for the outside world. read more

To preface, this is my first time having cheesesteak so take my opinions with a grain of salt I asked the cashier what he recommends and he recommended the classic so I got that one, he asked what size and pointed to me towards the wall of which had a poster of half, large, and king size. I picked large. He asked if I wanted grilled onions I said yes. Asked if I wanted hot and sweet peppers, I said no hot but yes sweet. Cheesesteak was delicious, the peppers were carrying in flavor. Difficult to bite cleanly but thats just how it is. Layout: The front walls are windows, you enter and most of the room is grid like placed tables and chairs. To the back is the cashier, above that are the menus, to the right back are the soda/water dispensers (I realized I should take pictures of the inside more often) Extra notes: The cashier was very friendly and chill I read a review that said the large size is super small and I would agree by looking at it but idk if its just me but I personally had my fill after eating half of it and had to save the rest for later Nice place, nothing more to say, I just came here to give the menus lol 4 stars instead of 5 cause I think personally phillys aren't my thing, it wasn't super flavorful but still good food. I would eat it if offered but won't be craving it read more

Tator Totz were good 5/5 philly Cheese steak it's self was a good 3.7/5 i would recomend

I love this place but lately the king Philly I order is very hit and miss. One order will be barely any cheese the next order they scimp on peppers. I order onion rings every time and the last 3-4 times I ordered the onion rings they're over cooked and or burnt. They also scimp on the amount of onion rings and I get small overcooked crumbles of onion rings. I won't be ordering here for a while now. Bummer. read more

Yup, still good. Hadn't had this place in a while, was closed for a bit. Ended up finishing the whole large sandwich and fries. Too full my tummy hurts, was worth it. read more

It is closed. I had a great coupon and wanted to try them but they are closed ? I had one years ago when visiting and was looking forward to it. I hope they reopen ? read more

It's back! Reopened recently. Same beefy (or chicken) goodness on a roll. My one complaint, soda dispenser no longer has Mtn. Dew. Bottles available but...come on, man. At least a sandwich every week. Welcome back! read more

This warm cheesy meat filled sandwich was so dang good I had to have it again the next day!!! This thing packs a flavor and is not lacking in the meat department. Eat this fresh and thank me later. Also the restaurant is clean and service was quick. read more

This place isn't anything to write home about... As a matter of fact, it's not worth the gas for another visit even if it was free. The "large" Philli cheesesteak is enough to feed a small toddler at best, and contained more vegetables than anything else. The taste was bland and subpar in comparison to other cheesesteaks I have had during my many travels. I suspect they are still in business due to not having much of a rival market in Chico... If (4) anorexic cheesesteak sandwiches, (2) orders of portion controlled overcooked curly fries, and a $70 bill is acceptable to new potential customers reading this, don't complain afterward and say I didn't warn you. read more

Good food, super friendly staff. Sat outside with our dogs which is always a plus! We'll definitely be back

Great service. Even better sandwich! Very happy with my first experience there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

If you want a philly cheesesteak, this place delivers. It's super filling, I was just barely able to finish a whole sandwich and I was starving beforehand. The fries were good too but I opted to have the "guylic" seasoning which was a mistake. It stuck to my taste buds like cement* for a few days afterwards. *Cement that tastes good. read more

Excellent sandwiches and service. The GM (sorry I forgot his name) was so super helpful and kind. Best cheesesteak in town. No pictures because we devoured them too fast. read more

One of my favorite spots for a hearty lunch. When I lived in Chico, I'd come here whenever I wanted my cheesesteak fix. They are truly the best in town - and I've tried the cheesesteaks from just about every other local spot. The last time I was here visiting, I had to give them a go. The interior and menu were virtually unchanged from when I frequented the spot 10-15 years ago, and the same gentleman (the owner?) was still working behind the counter! Very basic but clean decor. They have a variety of Philadelphia-specific items like Tasty Kakes. Their sandwich selection is vast but I always tend to gravitate toward their flagship, the King of Philly. It's huge! The perfectly-cooked steak paired with the sweet peppers, cheese and soft bread is a true match made in heaven. Pair it with their curly fries and you've got a solid meal (or 2-3 meals, it's a lot of food). Very good, though. I will surely be back the next time I find myself in Chico! read more

The Cheese Steak Shop - The Gilroy - Sandwiches Near Me - Chico, California

I love the food here ! The quality is great!! But unfortunately, one of the employees did not make me feel comfortable. I forgot my credit card at home so I went to get cash in my car, but I ended up finding it in my wallet and the employee looked at me like if I was on drugs. Sad that people just clock in to get paid and not really give the warm welcoming. Really made me uncomfortable and made me feel like I did something wrong to get cash from my car. read more

A great place to get a Phili-style cheese steak! Meat was very tasty, as was the peppers, onions and cheese. Nice roll to hold it all together. Will definitely go back to try other menu items. Wife and I got the classic large and split it. I could have ate the whole thing. Next time we will get the cheese fries along with the sandwich. Highly recommended. read more

First of all, the dude at the counter literally acknowledged that my fries were supposed to be Cajun, neither of them were. I asked if the ranch was in the bag, he said yes, it wasn't. I have never gotten good service from this place and after spending $35 on two sandwiches and fries, I expect them to be right at the very least. Absolutely ridiculous. Edit: gave two stars because at least ONE was the right sandwich. read more

Called in a Classic Philly Cheesesteak & "The Hoagie" with a side of Large Onion Rings at 11:15am today. I headed over 15 minutes later and as promised my food was packed up ready to go. I cashed out a little over $28 and proceeded to leave. I get all the way home and notice that I was only given ONE sandwhich! I guess I partly blame me as I did not thoroughly check my order prior to leaving the store. But I shouldn't have to....I think we both notice at the same time because I pick up my phone to call them & they are already calling me. Oh hey! Yeah, we have your sandwhich! It's right here on the rack. Back in the car I drove to the store once again. What I thought was a cherry ontop of the cake was when I went into the store (I guess the Owner or Head Cook) is holding my sandwhich said "Here you are! Just made you a fresh one! Just pulled it off the grille 60 seconds ago" as he glances to the clock on the wall behind me. First off..... the bag was not even warm. It was the temperature of a steak that had been off the grill sitting right there on that rack for at least 15 minutes. No need to lie to me. Just take ownership, but you straight up did not make me a "new sandwhich" that just finished within 60 seconds ago like you claim. I'm really not trying to be petty, but this is what you indeed just looked at me and said. As my first time there as a customer it was a small mistake that had me leaving the establishment feeling odd. Almost as if they were mocking me at this point or they were blaming me for the mistake or something. Idk...but hey!!! Besides all that jazz the food was fine. I am from Pennsylvania so I may be a hard cheesesteak dude to please. Food was good, wasn't overly flavorful either. Was it good? Yes. Would i be dyinggg to come back?! No. Let's see..The Onion Rings were crisped to perfection though. I could have probably eaten the entire fry basket of them. See, there's a silver lining in everything! read more

I went there on Monday and I got a cheesesteak. I took it home and started eating it, I got to the very last bite and I put it in my mouth and then I felt something tickling my throat so I spit it out and looked at it and there was a long curly hair in it! I was so grossed out I almost puked! I am still SUPER pist off! I won't be going back there ever again... read more

Best phili-cheesestake in town maybe CA? Grilled onion, mushroom, garlic not be overlooked. My only gripe is the horrible customer service. The young kid and old man both not fun to deal with. Poor people skills on phone and worst in person. Always very busy. Let the cheese melt in the wrap for about ten minutes before eating. read more

First time patron. Able to order a half roll which fits my appetite. Had the pepperoni with grilled onions, cheese , sauce and more. Also tasted friends sweet potato fries. All was absolutely delicious. Will definitely return for more. . read more

Delcious sandwich and great customer service! I havent had an good ol fashioned cheesesteak in a long time and they have ice cold Mountain Dew, so there you have it! 2 thumbs up! read more

I have been in many times but the last few times I have been in there is a cook who blatantly has rolled his eyes and rolled his head back in annoyance 45 minutes before closing when I have ordered. I recommend putting a wall between the kitchen and the customers if they are going to have cooks showing blatant annoyance with customers. read more

I've been eating at the cheese steak shop for a number of years, and at a bunch of locations! The quality of the food is consistent as is the service. Any time I'm away from home, I'm excited and comforted to find a cheese steak shop nearby, because I know it's going to be just what I expect... a warm and yummy feeling inside... and try their "Guy-lic" chips! They're addicting!!! read more

If I could rate just the quality of the food I'd give an extra star. The front counter service was really good, but there were a couple of guys in the back who were really upset with the cashier for some reason. He had done something wrong apparently and these two guys were just fuming about it. Something about the french fries on the previous order. The cashier was obviously pretty bummed at being chewed out. I was extremely uncomfortable. The particularly angry guy was wearing a yellow shirt. He was young, maybe late 20s, in good physical shape. He was very angry though and I could see him mumbling f words under his breath in the back. Very uncomfortable situation and I hope somebody tells him he can't treat people that way. Especially minimum wage employees who have better things to do than listen to bullcrap. read more

Horrible service, I asked for a small sandwich with half of the normal pepperoni and the guy cooking scoffed and shook his head like it was the most absurd request. I asked for the rest on the side, he had to come up and ask his boss if the order was correct. He then shook his head and scoffed a SECOND time, and I couldn't eat my food happily. I wish I could get my money back, they're never getting my service again. Update: manager did give me my money back and apologized for the service which I appreciated. read more
