    Terrible Service

    Service, 1 hr for a sandwich is terrible..... I asked when I ordered how long, 10-15 minutes...1 hr .... Sad for the community!

    I got takeout from The Philly Cheesesteak Cafe. Theres street parking out front. While waiting someone hit my daughters car. So make sure you leave enough space, because some people can't parallel park!! You can order online, by phone, or in person. Our order only took about 15 mins. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. My kids got cheesesteak subs and i got fish with hot honey sauce and fries. I enjoyed my fish, but beware there are bones. The sauce was really tasty. Their housemade spicy sauce was pretty good also. They sell it by the bottle if you wanna take some home. My kids enjoyed their subs, but i thought it was slightly salty. It was still good though. The prices are reasonable and the portion of fish i got was plentiful. They're a decent place to eat at. Check them out!!!

    The Salmon Steak Specialty

    First experience, great! The food was amazing and the staff were friendly. Ordered a whole salmon philly with green peppers, onions and their house mayo. (Pictured) The philly was so much, I called my sister to come get the other half. Now to why I rated 2 stars, which is giving grace... On Saturday, November 5th, 2022, I attempted to call an order in as I was picking up my Kroger order. The gentleman that answered the phone put me on hold for about 2 1/2 minutes. Not a big deal, I'll wait for good food. He came back to the phone and I proceeded to tell him my order. As I'm talking, the Kroger employee walks up to ask where I wanted my groceries. I tell the gentleman "One second" turn my head towards my half rolled down window. Say "trunk" then hear the Philly Cafe employee hang up on me. I proceed to call back, extending grace, the same gentleman answers the phone and I say "dang you can have me on hold for over 2 minutes but I say hold on one second (and it literally was one second) and you hang up on me, dang? He stated that he's a very busy man and he has a lot of customers. I say "okay but customer service" then he proceeds to tell me that he's the boss and he runs things then hangs up, AGAIN! So of course, I carried my busy and money elsewhere. Yes, their salmon Philly was bussin and I'm sure their other Phillies are just as good but I'll NEVER patronize this establishment ever again! Not even the other location in Hampton. Their "boss" has put a sour taste in my mouth and I refuse to spend my money at an establishment that doesn't exemplify courtesy or good customer service.

    Salmon cheesesteak

    It is hard finding a good salmon cheesesteak and once upon a time this was my go to. This salmon was stretched thinnn and lacked flavor. The bun wasn't even toasted smh just straight out of the bag to the styrofoam. I decided to give them another chance and this time there was more salmon and salty! I couldn't even enjoy it and my family spent $300 on food just for none of it to be good. I'm big on supporting black businesses and knowing that their food is getting worse is upsetting. I hope they can get it back to grand opening taste but I won't be finding out so yall let me know. Oh and the chicken tastes like curry smh I really want a refund but lesson learned.

    Philly chicken cheese and Philly cheese steak So delicious!!!

    My husband and I were given an recommendation to try the Philly cheese steak Cafe. I am so happy that I went there. Firstly, the sauce, made for cheese steak egg rolls , was out of this freaking world!!! I did not use it all on my sandwich, I used a small spoon and ate the rest of it out of the cup!!!...so, so good The bread had a really nice texture, tender meats and fresh toppings. My son, who is a big foodie, said it was great. I never hear him use those words because he is a critic when it comes to his palette. Over all, great experience. Next time, I will definitely call in my order. Thanks as this is my new spot.

The smell drew me in the first time while visiting Lowe's and so glad I took a chance. A line is always a good sign that there are likely regulars and that spells something good is going on. The menu is posted on the outside and is simple fair type with burgers, sausages & cheesesteaks. The one young guy running the grille was friendly and recommended the cheesesteaks which I gotta say as a lover was suspicious. However I was willing to risk it on the off chance this food stand in a parking lot could actually deliver a fabulous steak. The price was affordable for a footling around $10 and added a bottle water and tip came to $13+ The cheesesteak was completed in around 8 minutes wrapped up and in a bag with napkins. I popped it open in the car and was amazed at the pure size and amount of meat. The smell was glorious with steam waffling above. The bread was fresh and authentic to Philly. The only thing left was a bite and it did not disappoint one bit, just wowzers! It was good enough to return prior to writing a review. It ended up being a carbon copy of my success with another incredibly delicious cheesesteak. This time I used a nearby picnic table to enjoy. This is a chain food stand. The owner has two located at Lowe's in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach on Holland Rd. If you love cheesesteaks then Dominic's delivers a masterpiece and you will not be disappointed. A 4.5 rounding up and later learned Yelp friend Terry was a super fan of their steaks which was cool. Don't forget to pick up a punch card when you buy 6 your 7th is FREE!

I ordered a Philly cheesesteak and was told upfront that it would be about a 20-minute wait on the grill, which I was completely fine with. But after 50 minutes had passed, I finally had to go up and ask about my order. When I finally got my food, it was clear things were not handled well. The fries were made immediately and left sitting in a closed Styrofoam container the entire time my sub was cooking. By the time I received them, they were a soggy, wet pile of fries with zero crisp left. As for the sub itself, it was about 90% bread and maybe 10% actual filling. It took three hard, crusty bites before I even reached any meat--and when I did, the flavor was disappointing and lackluster. Definitely not what I expected from a place known for subs. Their "Italian dressing" is really just a ton of oil with a tiny splash of vinegar. They should just call it what it is instead of something misleading. To top it off, I had to ask someone to wipe the table before sitting because it wasn't cleaned. Overall, this visit was a miss from start to finish. Long wait, soggy fries, a flavorless sub, and unclear menu descriptions. I really hope they improve consistency and quality, because my experience did not match the reputation they seem to have
