    Food was amazing flavorful, and fresh ingredients, people were very nice and friendly....cheesesteak and pizza Philly

    Mushroom cheesesteak with hot peppers
    Sarah C.

    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

    Cheesesteak with whiz
    Roz E.

    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!

    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!

    They really need ketchup bottles

    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...

    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!

    Can't beat this place I'm coming once a week! Everything is amazing! Love the atmosphere and sports on! Always excellent customer service! The food will have you making it a weekly routine like me! So good thank you

    Pizza hoagie with added sweet, hot peppers, meat extra cheese and oregano, and Parmesan sprinkled on top to give it the pizza effect
    Timothy Z.

    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.

    Stopped in here after a long day at Legoland, the staff is super helpful, the food was awesome and the portion sizes are huge!

    Hot & Sweet Onion Rings

    Food was great. Cheese steaks had a lot of finely chopped beef and were very good. Had an original and hot and sweet. French fries have a good seasoning to them. The workers were both super friendly and restaurant was clean.

    Why doesn't the Cheesesteak Grill sell Soft Drinks, Coffee, or Iced Tea? I ordered a Turkey Club Sandwich with fries today but no drinks are in their Menu.

    Maybe COVID restrictions, bad lines?..They had bottle drinks in the fridge.

I prefer the more common layered Philly style of thinly sliced then lightly chopped beef with slices of cheese melted on top, then onions/peppers folded in the roll. The beef is more the star in the style. As for the famously imported roll, they can save the cross-country expense as it's tasteless and wrinkly. There are many better rolls available from local commercial bakeries. A few more minor annoyances. Ketchup is only available in those messy little packets, and there are no salt and pepper shakers, just those tiny packets. And finally, what's with the 3% "Operations Fee"? A business's finances are run through a P&L, which always contains operating expenses. Given their prices and I'm sure good profit margin, any operations expenses should be built into the P&L model, not hoisted on the customer beyond the item prices. Overall, a decent sandwich and fries from a frozen bag, but for $20+ not a good value.

I promise you it's really that good, please try both. Our cocktails were PERFECTLY made. The staff was on it, I mean you can tell they work as a team.

We started with some appetizers - my favorite was the crispy brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Everything was perfectly roasted and there was a great kick with the habanero jam feta. The fly basket was pretty good, but keep in mind that the portion size is small - 3 of each of the hush puppies, fried shrimp, and fried green tomatoes. My husband ordered one of the specials which was a short rib pot pie - one of our favorite dishes of the night. The short rib was so tender and the dish was rich but in the perfect way. I ordered the tri tip sando. It was loaded up with meat and grilled peppers and onions. I upgraded my fries to truffle fries and those were really flavorful! My mom ordered the cioppino. She was a little disappointed by how many mussels there were in the dish - she had been hoping for more fish and shrimp. She said the flavor was good though. For dessert, we did opt to try the beignets. Honestly I could have done without them. They weren't as light and fluffy as they could've been. Overall, it was a good experience with great accommodations for our toddlers and great service.

I've been around the country and the world and while you may be an expert on pizza you didn't do your due diligence here. Pop ups are cool, but if the goal isn't a brick and mortar empire you're diluting the trademark and your own brand by stumbling out of the gate. The grease stained through the wrapper and the bag, the delivery driver wasn't even driving with it on his floor. It's almost as if the meat was fried and then cheese melted on top. I've never seen this much grease on any cheesesteak. The meat was overcooked (crispy) which is not what you should be going for, the bread was wrong (hoagies are cool, but you need some crust, the good one's are almost always amoroso or maybe house made). The cheese fell all the way out. More on the wrapper than in the sandwich. Mushrooms, peppers and onions were undercooked and under seasoned. If you're only going to have 4 options, try a little harder on the execution. Maybe it's the kitchen (Buca, I see you drop shipping for everyone). I don't know if you have your own team or are using theirs, but something isn't working. There price on ubereats is for a 6, but the uncharge to a 12 was wild.
