Quality food a bit expensive. Never had a bad experience continues to put out numerous good dishes.

Stopped by cheesecake grill and was happy that I did! The mushroom cheesesteak (I added extra meat) was so good! I'll definitely be back but not sure I can try something different, it'll be hard to get anything else it was so good read more

The Cheesesteak Grill - Mushroom cheesesteak with hot peppers - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Oceanside, California

I haven't had a cheesesteak in forever! So, I thought I would get my fix here! Simple, just sliced ribeye and some grilled onions topped with whiz! Yes, please! The meat was flavorful and I like how the grilled onions just added to it. All that in a soft hoagie?! Yes! I will have to back and try it with mushroom next! read more

DO YOU LOVE A GOOD CHEESESTEAK? Well, I heard about The Cheesesteak Grill on Oceanside Blvd and figured I'd give them a try. Normally, I'm not really one for a lot of meat, so I don't typically go to places like this. This hidden gem is conveniently found just east of the 5 Hwy and still 6 minutes from the beach! I heard they were under new management, so I came to see what would change from this business that's been here at this location for over 13 years. After speaking to the owner & learning he is a chef with an already successful BBQ business, I was relieved to know this place is in good hands. The Cheesesteak Grill is known for: CHEESESTEAKS * BURGERS * FRIES But they also have delicious wings! This makes perfect sense coming from an owner who has perfected the art of sauce making! So I can't wait to see what else he has in store! So far, I've thoroughly enjoyed the pizza hoagie, the garlic bomb cheesesteak sandwich, the buffalo & lemon pepper chicken wings and the Philly fries with bacon. The portion sizes for their sandwiches are ginormous and overflowing with meat! They don't skimp at all! The flavors were legit as well & everything felt balanced to me. Their prices are on-par with the quality and convenience of the location to downtown & the beach, as well as, access to the 5 Hwy ramp. Parking is great with access to a huge shared lot. Only the interior is a little "plain" and simply, but this isn't really a deterrent, as the food makes up for it (just not a fancy date spot). If you're looking for a solid cheesesteak, I highly recommend The Cheesesteak Grill on Oceanside Blvd. Overall, I'll be coming back here to try more of their menu! read more

Saw these guys on Instagram and how they were introducing their new Smoked Tri-Tip French Dip and just HAD to come down and try it. Once you get a craving, it's best just to nip it in the bud. My mother and I came down on a weekend to try it. It was large enough for the both of us to just split it. We also ordered the Seasoned Fries and a soft-drink. Fries were great. The french dip was even better. The meat was soooo tender and the bread wasn't toasted so much that the roof of my mouth was tore up. Their bread was near-perfect. It took a little while to get our food...proof they make it to order, instead of having pre-cooked beef sitting in a fridge to warm up like some places do (I'm sure). Total for everything was around $28. Some suggestions: add ketchup bottles to the tables. It's a little painful squeezing multiple ketchup packets out onto the plate. Also, it got pretty busy when we were there and there seemed to be the need for more chairs/tables. Just a thought tho... read more

Really good . wish the cheese steak sandwich had a little bit more cheese in it and peppers, but overall it was really good. The most outstanding thing were the fries though very tasty. read more

This place just reopened under new ownership. They remodeled a bit but some of the staff stayed on which is great. We had a mushroom cheesesteak with extra mushrooms and sweet potato fries. Both were delicious! The cheese steak was stuffed with tender beef and lots of mushrooms and it is large! The sweet potato fries were crispy and tasted fantastic. This place is a new family favorite and we will be back often. Thanks to the new owners for the improvements. Also: noticed on the new menu that they will be serving smash burgers soon, can't wait to try one! read more

Don't even second-guess this joint. My second time I ordered and today was national pizza day February and I decided to flip the script and do national cheesesteak pizza day. Called up the Cheesesteak Grill told him that I wanted to order this snack. They didn't deliver but DoorDash did and guess what they hooked me up huge with a wonderful awesome hoagie again. read more

While visiting Oceanside from Arizona my wife, eagle eyes, spotted this place from Oceanside blvd. At first I was skeptical. Didn't look like much from the street. Small hole in the wall tucked away in a commercial strip mall but we forged on. I'm so glad we did. It truly is the best cheesesteak sandwich I have ever had. Absolutely incredible. Mind you I have been to Philadelphia, twice and have tried many there as well as New York and Boston but this place hands down takes the cake. I was blown away. The taste was amazing and the bun was perfect. It held everything in without getting soggy. It even was a bit toasty and had a good crunch when bitting into it. It was not greasy at all. The meat was perfectly grilled with just the right amount of cheese and onions. It didn't bloat my stomach. It was completely satisfying. Their French fries as well are excellent with a secret in house seasoning that was truly unique. Our order came fast and the place is comfortable with a large television. It's clean and the kitchen is open. My wife and I have been twice already and am planning on one more visit before we leave. I highly recommend this place if you like cheesesteaks. They also serve burgers that looked and smell so good I was just locked in on the cheesesteak lol. read more

Yummy! I have been going here whenever I drive up north from San Diego and love it! It's hard to find a good cheesesteak, but they do good. I think they went through a change of management somewhat recently. The menu seems pretty similar though. I usually get the works with white American and grilled onions. Delicious! Sometimes I want to ask for extra cheese (since I love cheese) but not sure if that's an option. There is a decent amount inside already, probably plentiful for most people, but I really love cheese. Might try next time! Inside is pretty clean I'd say, there's tables available for people to sit and eat but a lot take it to go. There's plenty of parking outside as well read more

The Cheesesteak Grill - 9" The Works Cheesesteak - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Oceanside, California

Better than any cheesesteak I've had in Philly, or anywhere else for that matter. Menu changed slightly with the new owner (I miss the cheesy pastrami fries), but the cheesesteaks are still the best I know of. read more

This place has the best cheesesteak in north county. The owner is rad and always in there. This is a business to support!!! Been coming here forever and it never disappoints. I always say ill try a hoagie or a burger one day, but the cheesesteaks are so good its hard to not order one. Lots of parking and very easy to call in an order pick it up and get back on the freeway! Dont sleep on this place. Keep up the great work boys! read more

No-Frills, Legit Cheesesteaks--A Local Standout Walk in and you'll notice right away: this isn't about décor or vibes. It's a simple, unpretentious spot--but don't let that fool you. The cheesesteaks here are the real draw, and honestly, they deliver. The bread is soft and fresh, the steak is cooked just right, and the whole thing comes together with a classic Philly-style cheese melt. They don't try to reinvent the wheel, and that's exactly why it works. Is this the best cheesesteak you'll ever have? That depends if you grew up in Philly and how religious you are about Amoroso rolls, but for Southern California, it's easily one of the most authentic, craveable versions around. It's the kind of place people quietly love and return to because they care about the food and get it right every time. Service is fast, prices are fair, and the place is clean--even if it's bare bones. If you're looking for somewhere that puts all their energy into making great cheesesteaks (and not Instagram aesthetics), this is it. Go for the classic with onions and cheese, add hot peppers if you're into heat, and enjoy something rare in SoCal: a cheesesteak that feels honest. read more

Best Cheesesteaks!! Chefs Kiss!! Super friendly staff order Galic Cheesesteak Bomb is superb!

I've been coming to this Grill on and off for the past 9 years! Always a treat to get a real tasty Philly Steak sandwich with the onions, peppers, mushrooms and cheese! On a darn good bread I might add. Just went back recently to see it's under new ownership! Same very good sandwich but I will just touch on it was a little saltier than I remembered! Maybe the cheese was changed? I would say the soda fountain needs some additions, like maybe these new "Stubborn " sodas they have a great Cream soda! Also add the sweet Raspberry Tea, Fuze and others offer! BTW met the new owner nice young gentleman! Very personable! Good luck to him. So if you're out there and get a hankering for a Philly Cheese steak sandwich come to this location and help the local guy! read more

Awesome cheesesteaks. Was just in Philly and these were as good if not better. The meat is the best part, you can really taste the ribeye. Bread was good and the cheese was just right. Super friendly staff and great little spot. Would definitely recommend. read more

Had a few sandwiches with the family. Standard cheesesteak with provolone, mushroom and sweet spicy one. Bread was good and meat had decent flavor. Been to actual Philly and liked this sandwich better. Had more flavor. Would consider going back if I was in the mood for a cheesesteak. One downside was sides were just too expensive. Wanted to get some onion rings but just too expensive for me so skipped it. read more

The food here is actually pretty good, it's just the Staff is extremely disorganized and it took over 30 minutes from ordering for a cheesesteak with about 5 other diners in the restaurant, extremely disappointed, I think the place is understaffed and obviously cannot function with just 2 employees read more

Food was delicious and the staff was more than friendly! Will definitely be coming back! Love that they have tvs with sports on too!

My wife and I have eaten here multiple times over the years but it has been a while since we have been in. I was a bit surprised when we spent $42 on 2 sandwiches and 1 order of fries. The service was extremely slow(about 15 minutes), especially considering we were the only customers. Food was good but we will most likely not be going back. read more

The best cheesesteaks in Oceanside! Every time I go, the staff is always friendly, efficient, and the food is always consistent. If you're craving a Philly cheese, you gotta head over here. read more

Best cheesesteak in SD Co, I've had. Staff is happy to help. The environment is "at home". Yes, please and thank you very much!

I'd been a customer on-and-off for many years. I miss the way the previous owner ran this shop, back when the up-charge for extra meat meant something and sandwiches were nice and fat. Even the bread this time wasn't great (it was dry and hard!) and I got a good taste of it as the outer 2 inches of the sandwich were bare of any filling. HUGE disappointment and such a waste of money. I did appreciate how everything is still grilled-to-order, but the price hike and tepid service (not by the guy on the grill; he was a sweetheart- the owner who was running the register) do not justify me returning again. I was introduced to a Philly stall at the Sunset Market whose quality and pricing have been consistent for a decade, so I've been told by the person who took me. That place is now in my rotation for a wonderful, hot sandwich. read more

This place needs to improve their quality of cheese stakes sandwiches. Last time I waited 30 minutes and the food was a cold and it should have been a hot sandwich. Service is good but food not to good. read more

Best cheesesteak in the area no doubt. Made fresh to order with a smile. Friendly service, and excellent food. The bread is always a little toasty and the cheesesteak with grilled onions will have me coming back. Minutes from the beach and the perfect stop on the way. read more

Very tasty joint!! I have the patty melt, that bad boy was so good cheesy and meaty, my fiancé got the Philly cheesesteak with mushrooms ‍ that was actually one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I've ever had. Honestly I was scared of the small kitchen, but that small kitchen is powerful and whipping up magic. Don't judge the book by it b cover check it what's inside. We were pleasantly surprised at the favors and tastiness. The service was really nice, cook asked if we liked our food and it was a harmonious Yes! Over all great spot to pick up lunch my fiancé and I really enjoyed our meal! Cheers! read more

I eatien here twice and both times the meat was spoiled and the manager was very rude i would suggest not eating here

In our ongoing search for a great cheesesteak, we have tried multiple, and I mean multiple different cheesesteak restaurants in and around San Diego county. Even though I am not from the home of the original cheesesteak, as a Cordon Bleu Culinary School graduate that has dined in most U.S. states and many overseas restaurants, I pride myself on being a fair judge of many different types of cuisine. What we found lacking at The Cheesesteak Grill was "Whiz" which was not offered on the menu or by the employee that took our order. Giorgino's in Golden Hills is an original cheesesteak and pork restaurant destination. read more

No clue what these other recent reviews are talking about! I had a bomb sandwich that was fresh, hot, and stuffed with meat and mushrooms. It was absolutely delicious and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. I liked the spot very much. It was calm, quiet, and had plenty of tables for the lunch hour. Food came out quickly and everyone seemed friendly. read more

I write this with a heavy heart. literally. my cardiologist monitors my Yelp check-ins and scolds me for eating at The Cheesesteak Grill so often. it's why I only check-in one visit in ten. two can play that game, but I digress. the good news is, cheesesteak sandwiches at The Cheesesteak Grill are rapidly approaching vegan status. every time I get one, there's less meat and cheese. I ordered a "regular" and scraped half the "toppings" into half the bun and the sandwich was still light. the taste and texture of the beef's different too. confidence is not high they're still using ribeye. I think they've changed buns too or maybe they're just more noticeable since every bite is mostly bread. deep sigh ... oh, well. like the man (Kerry Livgren) said, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky. read more
