    We stopped by The Cheesesteak Guy on a Friday night about an hour before closing. There were a few people there when we arrived, and more filtered in as the evening went on--always a good sign. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe Cheesesteak for $16, while my dining companion went with a traditional Cooper cheesesteak with onions and peppers on a non-seeded roll ($15), plus an order of tater tots ($5). We both grabbed sodas for $3 each, and our grand total--including tip--was just over $50. The traditional Cooper cheesesteak, tots, and sodas were pretty run-of-the-mill--solid, satisfying, and exactly what you'd expect. But the Cacio e Pepe Cheesesteak? That deserves special attention. The Cheesesteak Guy raves about this sandwich on Facebook, describing it as a fusion of the classic Philly cheesesteak and the Roman pasta dish Cacio e Pepe--and for once, the hype is fully justified. Thinly sliced ribeye topped with melted Pecorino Romano and a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper, all on a perfectly seeded roll. It was rich, indulgent, and gloriously peppery in the best way. Plenty of Pecorino (which is currently my favorite cheese), bold flavor, and a roll that held everything together beautifully. Truly perfection in a bun--tender, savory, and downright unforgettable. My only suggestion? A little more consistency in the meat prep. Some chunks of ribeye inside my sandwich were quite large and seemed to miss the slice-and-dice phase. Still delicious, but smaller, evenly chopped pieces would make it easier to eat and even better overall. That said, I'll absolutely be back--Patty Melt and Greek Burger are already on my list. Bonus points for plentiful free parking since it's located in a strip mall. One tip if you're going at night: pay close attention, because the sign isn't lit and can be easy to miss in the dark. If you're craving a cheesesteak with a creative twist, don't sleep on the Cacio e Pepe. It's something special.

    Build Your Own Cheesesteak. Cooper sharp with onions

    It turns out that there is such a thing as an overstuffed cheesesteak. I got the cooper sharp with onions on a seeded roll. The roll was excellent, I wish there was actually a little less meat on the sandwich so I could get bread in every bite. Cheese was nicely distributed throughout the meat. Steak was good quality, but there were some bits of gristle mixed in. A little pricey, which I understand considering current meat prices, but I'd personally prefer a little less meat for a couple of dollars less.

    Cheesesteak with whiz and Cooper Sharp, and fried onions

    I love a good cheesesteak after having lived in Philadelphia decades ago. After seeing multiple posts raving about the "cheesesteak guy" in Lemoyne, PA, I decided to stop by for lunch today. Fair warning - if this is your favorite shop, stop reading now. While the place does offer decent rolls and uses Cooper Sharp cheese, the cheesesteak itself was a greasy, gristly mess. It doesn't come close to competing with the real heavy-hitters. Maybe it passes for decent in Central Pennsylvania, but it's nowhere near the level of the top-tier spots in and around Philly.

    Doesnt care about the customer, just his comfort level.  Must be nice to not need your customers

    I went in at 5:25 and was turned away. The owner asked whats wrong coming out of the back and I told him I wanted a sandwhich. He said theyre closed I said your open until 7pm he responded i changed my hours to 6 pm for thr summer but it wasnt even barely 5:30 yet. He said next time to which i replied i doubt it. I feel totally disrespected. I suppose he made enough money to make him happy that day. What kind of jerk closes their restaurant when peoplep are literally getting off work. Im a retired chef , worked in restaurants for over 35 yeard I NEVER once turned a customee away that walked in my door. Closed or not. Success in a restaurant is a blessing and this fool is taking it for granted. A person like this deserves to experience failure.

    Nice new location located inside the West Shore Plaza in Lemoyne, so more open hours (Mon-Sat) and more room for tables and chairs to eat inside. Saw they just reopened on 10/17 so I stopped by for a quick cheesesteak. I thought I ordered a steak, Cooper cheese, wit (with onions) but there were none on the sandwich when it came out. Still very flavorful and the seeded roll (they ask if you want seeded or not) was great. Next time, definitely want/need the fried onions. Grease was not an issue as previously mentioned in my reviews. Well done and congratulations on your new store!

    Delicious chopped burger.
    Warren N.

    Excited to have this place arrive. They were very busy when I arrived the counter person took my order quickly and I was told it would be 15 minutes. They got it done in 16 ( kudos for them). I got the chopped burger and it was delicious. I also got onion rings which were good but it was 7 rings for $5. For me that is too pricey for a side. I hope they put some chips in the future. The restaurant is a tight space. One of the mistakes I see many restaurants make is they bolt the table and chairs down. For the average person probably not a big deal but for us 6ft 5 guys not very comfortable. Also the chairs are tight. Should have a mix of chairs with no arm rest so us big dudes are comfortable. The menu has a good mix. I will need to try the other ones before I determine my favorite. For some reason my sandwich was not cut in half. Not sure if that is standard or just missed today. I wish sandwiches were maybe $3 less. Or I wish I made more money so I wouldn't have to worry about that stuff!!! I didn't notice if they had any specialty drinks or dessert. I do like when a sub shop has like a cookie or Brownie at a reasonable price. Parking is no problem. Not sure if they do call in orders. West Shore Plaza is turning into a good food destination. Gourmet choc, An excellent Chinese restaurant and Neato Burrito, and a diner. Maybe an ice cream shop would be good next. Looking forward to my next visit.

    Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak with cooper sharp.

    So we finally had a chance to try The Cheesesteak Guy out. Now I am from NE Philly so I'm hard to please when it comes to cheesesteaks. We ordered two cheesesteaks with wiz and a buffalo chicken with cooper sharp. I asked for all the rolls be non seeded but the buffalo came on a seeded roll. I'm glad because I think it works better on a seeded roll. The cheesesteaks were heavy on steak and cheese. The buffalo was loaded too. The steak is fresh and the rolls were great. The price was on point maybe even a little under for what you are getting. The lady who took my order was very nice and friendly. The whole experience was great. Best steaks I have had since moving out here. I'm looking forward to trying the other items on their menu. A+ TCG

    Joy's Grill & Burger House became a Friday Night Date Night destination during my birthmonth after…read moreI spotted them on social media. I've driven by Joy's a million times and somehow never noticed it before. It's tucked into a busy strip mall and easy to miss if you're not specifically looking for it. Spoiler alert: you should be looking for it. My quest for the evening included both a burger and a chili dog, because they both looked amazing and I wanted the full Joy's experience. My adventure buddy and I arrived around 5pm and I was honestly surprised to see only one other person inside when we walked in. We grabbed a booth by the front door and looked over the menu again to finalize our plan. Since it was our first visit, we decided to order a few things and split them so we could try more. We ordered the loaded chili dog topped with chili, cheese, onions, and mustard ($5.25) and one of the Big Block Burgers -- specifically the Joy's Burger -- which came with grilled onions and mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, LA sauce, Swiss cheese, and fresh cut fries ($12.99). Naturally we added bacon for an extra $0.99 because that felt like the right decision. We also each grabbed a Diet Pepsi (to maintain some illusion of balance) for $2.50 each. Our total came to $25.69 before tip, which felt like a pretty solid deal for a two-person Friday night dinner adventure. The setup at Joy's has a classic old-school diner feel. The grill sits right behind the seating counter so you can watch your food being made, and they mix milkshakes right out front as well. The place is simple and no-frills -- and in my experience, those "keep it simple and do it well" places are often the real heavy hitters. The chili dog came out first, and the first thing I noticed was that this thing was HEAVY. This wasn't your typical skinny hot dog -- it was a full ¼-pound dog absolutely loaded with chili. The flavor reminded me of a Cincinnati-style chili dog and it was really good. The chili was flavorful instead of just decorative, the mustard and onions were balanced perfectly, and the bun did its job without getting in the way. As someone who takes chili dogs very seriously, I have to give Joy's credit for delivering a straightforward, perfectly executed chili dog. Next came the burger and fresh cut fries, and when I say this burger was big, I mean BIG. Two patties tall with all the toppings stacked high. We sliced it in half and immediately dug in. The bacon was perfectly crisp, the mushrooms and Swiss were generous, and the whole thing just tasted like a real, proper burger. Not a chain burger that started life frozen and tastes like it could have been reheated in my microwave at home. This was the kind of burger you picture when you say you're craving a burger. The fries were exactly what you want from fresh-cut fries -- the smaller ones nice and crispy, and the bigger ones crispy on the outside with that soft, fluffy inside. Splitting the chili dog and burger turned out to be the right call. It would have been easy to eat everything solo, but my stomach probably would not have forgiven me later. Our server was super friendly and attentive throughout the visit. While we were there, a few more people came in to eat, but overall it felt relaxed and easy for a Friday evening. Parking is free since Joy's sits in a strip mall, but it can be a little tight because there are several other popular businesses nearby. We were able to find a spot without trouble, but I could see it getting tricky during busier times. If you're looking for solid burgers, legit chili dogs, and an old-school diner vibe, Joy's Grill & Burger House is absolutely worth seeking out -- especially if you're like me and always on the lookout for your next great burger or chili dog adventure.

    Sad, tasteless, had the appearance, texture, and, zero flavored patty. Fries were decent, old…read morefashion without all the flour "crap" additive on them. Not bad fore a cheap meal but not filling for wine who's hungry amend definitely not suitable for a "man size" burger. And on the Really sad side about this place is that they have no shame on charging the customers $1.00 for a pickle. Not saying that you're going to get a big pickle, just some pickle slices for the burger, but for an ext4a $1.00. Never going back, will warn others, and generally stay away from businesses that are CHEAP. I mean if they're so broke they need to charge you $1.00 for a few pickle slices then perhaps the actual proteins are cheap and suss. Just saying....

    Food | Experience…read more Pop by the McAlister's Deli in Camp Hill because somebody at my work got a sub that looked mighty scrumptious. It was a Friday night, probably around 6:30, and let me tell you: I think it was one of those occasions where my eyes were bigger than my stomach, or whatever that expression is. I ate too much. The food was good. Absolutely, positively no complaints about the food. In fact, I'd give the food four out of five stars. I think I just walked over the line a little bit, ate too much, and didn't feel particularly good after I left. So I can't give you the most scientific assessment of the food. I can just tell you that it was good. What I can speak to is my experience while I was there. It's Friday night, 6:30. There's one person working front of house, and it seems like there are a few people working in the back. They're separated in a way where they can't really intermingle--the only interaction is food getting handed through the window. When I get there, the woman working the front, bless her soul, seems like a super kind woman. She's brewing some tea while also waiting on customers, and apparently something goes wrong with the tea because it starts overflowing. Suddenly she's bouncing all over the place trying to clean this up while taking orders and dealing with customers. Meanwhile, there are a few workers back in the back of house, and nobody is really coming up to help her. And the dining room is basically empty. It's Friday night at 6:30, around when you'd think dinner rush would be starting. There are maybe two tables occupied in a dining room that could probably hold 20 or 30. That's not their fault. I understand that restaurants are dealing with a completely different dining environment these days. People are ordering DoorDash. People are eating at home. You don't need to hear my commentary on how I think restaurants should be run. I couldn't run a restaurant. But it did make me think: maybe we need to start making dining rooms smaller. Anyway. What I am going to speak to is staffing. I don't think there's any reason that, on a Friday night, there shouldn't be at least two people working the counter. Yes, I get it. It's slow. There were only a couple of people in the dining room. Maybe somebody was sick. Maybe there were circumstances I don't know about. There are always variables. But there's something kind of shitty about watching one front-of-house worker bounce around trying to keep everything together while nobody comes up to help her. You know what you signed up for when you franchise the fucking restaurant. You know what it takes to operate the place smoothly. And if that means two people need to be working the front, then staff it with two people. Because watching one woman juggle taking orders, making tea, cleaning up a mess, and trying to keep the whole place moving while she's clearly stressed out? That's cruelty. That's fucking cruelty. So, four stars for the food. Two stars for the experience. The food is good. If you're looking for a sub, I'd say go for it. But honestly? DoorDash it. You won't have to see this type of happenstance. You can sit at home, watch Austin Powers or Netflix, and have a DoorDash brody drop your sub off. Food: 4/5. Experience: 2/5.
