    Original Philly with american white cheese, sweet peppers and onions
    Frank N.

    I had the original philly cheesesteak sandwich. It was delicious and filling. The staff was exceptionally friendly, helpful and considerate. The location itself was very clean, and you could tell they take pride in the food they serve.

    Short and simple review. The Philly was a solid choice for a big sandwich. $14 dollars for it seemed a bit steep but that's the same price as most subways now. This was a great Philly cheese steak. The peppers were perfect tender and firm. I got mine with pepper jack. Walked right up to the counter. It was towards closing and the smelling of mopping was thick in the air. It was a bit off putting but the store itself was clean looking. The guy behind the counter's advice was to not get the classic cheese wizz. Will eat again

    This was my first time here. The woman who took my order was very friendly & helpful when I wanted pickles after I ordered. My Classic Philly Cheesesteak was good. I moved from Philly, so I'm incredibly familiar with cheesesteaks. You might even call me a cheesesteak snob. Again, this one was good. I loved music playing and the art displayed on the walls. I'll be back again.

    The girl working the front register put me and my brother on to the lunch special. So worth it! As a big fan of cheesesteaks, this place did not disappoint. I will definitely be back. Keep doing what you guys are doing. The inside was cool. The outside experience is K St. so you know what that's like.

    I had gotten (2) original full Philly cheesesteaks from this location with provolone, peppers and onions for $18.03 dining in. It was pipping fresh/hot, and seasoned well. It was good for a Philly cheesesteak right here in Sacramento. Very filling sandwich as well. Probably my last time going back. The owner is yelling at people on the street to come in his restaurant, with what looked like a "Modelo Negra" in his hand. The owner is yelling at his cooks and server still with the beer in his hand (I was very shocked seeing this) ...all while the server is serving and taking orders! music was very loud and as the owner is trying to talk to us and make jokes we can't hear him or anyone else. He proceeds to turn it down to conversate, then turns it all the way back up. It was extremely hot in the restaurant as well. I had to hurry up and finish my food, as the music was so loud it hurt my head and it felt much cooler outside. The art is amazing though, the place is decked out with cool Sacramento decor.

    Walking past this place, you'll be drawn in by the classics and oldies music blaring from their outside speakers, instantly setting a positive atmosphere. The Philly is a fantastic lil Philly cheesesteak sandwich spot in the heart of downtown Sacramento on Kst. The two gentlemen staff were very informative and helpful when ordering, we were welcomed right away. There is a kiosk or cash register just ask for help if you need it. We notice the lunch special which incudes a large freshly made cheese steak, fries and a drink for $21 so we took advantage of this awesome deal. Food arrives fast and hot. Very tasty and satisfying, loved the sweet peppers and cheese. Fries were crispy, and fresh. And I loved that they have black cherry flavored soda! I'll be back again for lunch soon!

    Classic cheese steak with onions, peppers, mushroom, jalapeno

    Sac has been lacking in the philly cheese steak game for awhile so it's a pleasure to have one here! The Philly was solid, I enjoyed the sandwich. I got the Classic cheese steak with onions, peppers, mushroom, jalapeno. Quality of beef is good. I would highly recommend getting extra cheese, I think that would have made it a 5 star sandwich if it had more cheesyness. Garlic fries were pretty good, they give a lot and there is a ton of garlic. Fries are steak cut style and are decently crispy. Friendly service. They have a TV so if you pop in during a King's game it will be on!

    Original Philly! Soooo good!

    My husband and I wanted to try something new so after reading the Yelp reviews, we landed here. Excellent customer service! The young man who took our order was friendly and had no problems answering our questions. We both landed in the original Philly w/provolone cheese & hot peppers instead of the sweet. We also shared a side of garlic fries. The food was great!! Piping hot, prepared to perfection with a nice amount of steak! $14 is a great price point and we both only managed to eat half of our sandwiches! We for sure recommend you checking this place out and we will definitely be back!

    The Philly fries with EVERYTHING!

    This place is AMAZING! Been here twice now and had the classic Philly, and Philly fires!!! The cook Rob hooked it up both times! The portions are huge, lots of meat and toppings. We seen the chicken tenders and those are huge also! I will be coming back to try everything else on the menu. Thank you Rob for the amazing food! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes good food.

    Went for lunch and definitely will go again! People are very nice and helpful! There was a line for lunch but service was still fast. Sandwich was juicy and very delicious. I witnessed how many times those fries were tossed into the seasoning and every bite were covered perfectly! Portions are huge so I saved the half for dinner! I had a pick up so I don't have much to say for the ambience but it was a friendly neighborhood sports bar ambiance. Thanks for the mint!

    Philly salad with steak.

    Ok. My first time in here. Was met with music turned up to 11. I had flashbacks of my time in retail where we would blast the music after closing. Now I feel old, but the music was so loud I couldn't hear the person taking my order. Person after me also had same issue. Ordered the Philly salad, to go. Delicious meat. The salad bit threw me because it's hot meat off the grill into spring mix which immediately wilts. Kinda weird, but I have no solution. Flavor was great, interested in trying an actual sandwich next time. Wish Yelp allowed me to give half stars because I would've given 3.5.

    The good: food was great! Not too greasy like some cheesesteak sandwiches are. Bread was soft and the meat was tender. Very flavorful! The bad: just the awkwardness of the how the owner/management treats his staff. Yelling at them and making them repeat themselves to him in a demeaning tone. Cussing out loud for everyone can hear. The employees were very humiliated in front of everyone. Just felt bad for them.

    I liked the flavoring of the Lobster roll. I thought it was a fair portion size. And the Whoopie…read morepies-you can't tell from the pictures, but they are freaking JUMBO size However the prices changed from what's listed on here. I went to get a Lobster roll + whoopie pie (nothing else) and the total was $35! It IS delicious. Still thought it was worth it. It IS lobster, you can't expect it to be cheap like chicken or beef. Just be ware of that price hike. I know they have expenses to pay. I think this product is best in middle & upper class markets. Second thing is the worker wasn't proficient in English, so we went back and forth on Google Translate trying to understand each other for simple words like 'Cole slaw', 'on the side' & 'salad'. It was a frustrating experience plus a waste of company time! Time =$$! I would go back again when I am planning on spending that much. It IS the ONLY place I can find that sells Lobster rolls. Even Red Lobster only sells it during their Lobster fest. Just gotta have the Google Translate ready to go lol

    Delicious, but too small: $25 for three bites. NOT Sam's!…read moreI'd gladly pay the additional $10 to get my money's worth. The owners reply is pure B. S. Maybe he hasn't tried the lobster roll at Sam's Cowder House in Half Moon Bay: at least a half a pound of lobster! C'mon, give me a decent sized sandwich that won't leave me hungry. I'll pay for it. It's hard to want to return to your food truck, pay $25, and then still be hungry.
