    Dry ass sandwich tasteless
    Tino V.

    What happened to cheesesteak shop ? The meat is not the same not juicy and tasty like before . The large size is like a small now . Asked for provolone cheese and the cook hardly put any. I'm really disappointed with this place . Do yourself a favor and don't go to this location . I expected more . Train your cook better ! This sandwich is so dry no seasoning. I paid 47 dollars for 3 sandwiches.

    We ordered two regular size classic phillies. In one word- Bland. The cheddar cheese sauce was minimal, and most of it was on the wrappers and not on the sandwiches. Onions were few and far between. Both sandwiches were crushed on one end. The bread was dry and stale. The joke is on us because we spent $30 for two sandwiches that we picked up, not delivered. *UPDATE* 3/18/25 I emailed you on 3/16/25 at the address you gave and there's been no response.

    I'll just file this one under another guilty pleasure of mine. It wasn't until after I moved back to the Bay Area from Southern California that I tried The Cheese Steak Shop over 20+ years ago. In fact this was the exact location that I tried it for the first time. Since then I've tried several other locations. Food is pretty consistent across the locations I've visited and the service is good. Located off of Clayton Blvd it's on an older strip mall next to a donut shop. Meat, Melted cheese and bread is all it really is however somehow the end result greater than just the sum of its parts. The chopped steak hot off the grill stuffed into a roll on top of melted cheese makes this the King of Sandwiches! Once I crave one, no other place will satisfy my Craving!! They truly are addictive!

    Without all the wrapping a regular is about 4 inches long.

    Love the chicken cheesesteaks but wish the sizing was better. I usually get a large but it's too much for me. The regular, which is a half, is laughably small. The large is huge. The need for a medium is real. The photo only looks somewhat decent in size because of all the peppers stuffed in. Finished in about 4-5 bites. Needs to be bigger. Please create a medium size.

    This place rocks can't go wrong with a cheesesteak from this location. I have tried this location and Brentwood and seems to be consistent.

    I've mentioned this statement in previous reviews: if you are going to be a food truck that…read morespecializes in an American classic such as burgers, hot dogs, Mac and cheese, or in this case, Philly cheesesteaks, you really need to blow me away and especially if you are going to charge an arm and a leg (more on that detail in a minute) I came across this place at the electric Caltrain launch party in Palo Alto. I have actually seen this food truck before but never had the opportunity to order from here so I thought today would be a good day. It seems like their claim to fame is that they use halal meat. I ordered the loaded P and a side of fries. I was pretty underwhelmed with the overall meal. The roll looked like it was bought from a general store and the cheese looked like nacho cheese you get in a can. I will give them credit that the fries tasted fresh but again, I was overall underwhelmed with the whole meal. Truthfully I would have considered giving this place four stars but the total cost of this meal came out to more than $30, which is a bit crazy. I understand we are going through an inflation period but a cheesesteak and fries costing that much is insane. Had the meal blown me away, I would have understood the high price. There may not be many cheesesteak shops in the Bay Area but there are enough where I can compare the quality and price of those shops to this truck. The quality of the sandwiches is definitely similar but the other places are way cheaper. Like I mentioned earlier, if you are going to be a truck that specializes in an American classic and are going to charge a hefty price, then be prepared to impress me. Unfortunately this truck did not pass that bar.

    Good portions and fast service for loaded fries. Beef was…read moremore like dehydrated chipped beef. The cheese was melted Velveeta. By the way, Velveeta and American cheese are milk products, not cheese.

    Stopped in for my father in law & my boyfriend and had their classic Philly for the first time…read more. genuinely the best Philly I've had on the west coast. It gave me flashbacks of having one in Philadelphia back in 2018. My lord, I'd give a lower rib to have just one location in Las Vegas, 10/10. We only had the sandwich and for it to be that good without a side of fries or even mayo & lettuce, that's a damn good spot. The ambiance and service were delightful, the nice lady who took our order even knew we planned to split a sandwich so it's was just nice to experience service that goes beyond just taking your order & sending you on your way. Our food was out within 8 minutes & devoured within 5 minutes, best believe that. If you're missing a taste of Philly but don't plan on visiting that side of the coast no time soon, this is where you want to be.

    I have been to this location many times. Their steak sandwiches are usually very good. My husband…read moreis from Philadelphia, so it is tough to beat this sandwich here in California. In the past this shop did well. The sandwich I received last week was awful. The meat was really thick and gristly. The taste was there but I had to chew and chew. This was not enjoyable, and I knew it would have been very tough to digest. I had to toss it. I remember waiting and watching them prepare the meat in previous visits (here, and also other locations) and the cook would spend a lot of time chopping/cutting the meat on the grill. This tenderizes the meat and makes it tasty and edible. Very little onion. The staff was friendly and helpful. $28.00 for 1 sandwich, fries and a coke. And by the way I ordered steak fries and received tater tots! This meal was purchased to save me from cooking on this night. To say the least, super disappointed. I'm sorry for the negative review, however I think it's important for the manager/owner to know what needs to be fixed. I was so close to purchasing a couple of gift cards for Christmas gifts. So glad I didn't.
