“ Loves being able to customize the sandwich exactly how I wanted it. Service was very good, food prepared quickly. Fries were crispy and delicious. ”
“ Not a bad place for some cheese steaks! Their fries were crispy and delicious, I'm a fan of their toppings, you can get sweet peppers, mushrooms, jalapeños, and even spray on cheese on the cheesesteak. My only complaint is the price for what you get is a little high. Like for the same price I could get a giant cheesesteak from Jersey Mikes which is like double the size! For my fellow big backs try it out for the taste, if you're starving though go to Jerseys ”
“ Great quality food and easy menu! The orders always come out super quick. Hidden gem in a little strip mall. ”
“ Cheesesteaks are hard to find in the Phoenix area. These were great, worth the drive if you're looking for one. Menu has all of the traditional ingredients, we'll be back to try more. ”
“ Was greeted immediately and placed our order. Got a regular steak w provolone grilled onions mushrooms and peppers w wiz drizzled. Ordered cheese fries and a large cheesesteak. The bread is so soft and perfect for the cheesesteak. There was lots of meat and perfect amount of cheese to meat ratio. The establishment was clean and large. They have fry sauce and peppers in a refrigerator if you decide to get them after the fact. Need to come back. ”
“ Hubby came to my work yesterday and took me to lunch. We went a little before noon thinking we would beat the crowd. This was not the case. It was packed when we got there. I got a regular size steak, American white cheese, onions, mushrooms & ranch dressing. Hubby got a regular steak, cheese, mushrooms, onions, jalapeño & spicy ranch jalapeño dressing. We shared a fry & got unsweetened iced tea. Much to my surprise the food came out pretty quickly. It was super hot. So hot I burnt my mouth. We both liked our sandwich. They are similar to the ones I make at home. However, they don't seem to season the meat. We especially liked how they have fry sauce, jalapeño, and hot cherry peppers in a mini fridge you can grab. The fry sauce is really good. We used it for our fries & our sandwiches. The fries are good, and so was the iced tea. I got a regular size so I could have the other half for lunch today. It heated up well& was good even today. One thing to note is it's a little loud in there with the music & the girl calling out the order numbers when the food is ready is not very loud. So you have to really listen for your number. ”
“ Always delicious. Always a favorite. Reminds me of growing up back in the Northeast. Trips to south Philly to grab a cheesesteak from Pat's or Geno's. This place is the real deal. Don't forget the cheese whiz. ”
