I’ve been coming here for years and it never fails. Get the Mexicana Cheesesteak with the curly fries and ranch. Always on point

Best cheesesteak/phillys in the bay area and I've had them all. Meat is perfect, bread is amazing, cheese is great, onion rings taste so good. Best ranch dressing in the bay too, big claims for an even greater restaurant highly recommend

Clean place, nice cashier and front lady, food is delicious. However I picked Classic, which used American cheese and not Swiss, it does say it on the menu I just happened to overlook it- which is my fault. Delicious regardless, and plentiful fries come with it.

Been coming here for 20yrs and the food is always hot and delicious and made to order. I moved away but anytime I’m in the bay it’s a must have.

Stopped in this place in between meeting clients. It caught my eye as I was driving down E 14th. I'm always down for a good Cheesesteak. This place is nice and small, about five 4 tops. The place smells of meat and onions, not bad at all. All but one table was taken and there were people waiting for orders to go. The phone kept ring for pick up orders, so that's a good sign. The food comes out rather quickly. The sandwich comes with hot crispy fries. They use a nice sourdough roll which was really good. I actually do prefer the Amoroso's rolls for a steak sandwich but this was good too. They also use a nice provolone cheese which I like but I think there should be a Cheez Whiz option too, I got the sandwich with mushrooms and bells. It all went together very nicely but there was just a little something missing in flavor. It was a little bland for having that much going on. The service was great, very friendly. Looks like a husband and wife team. The wife takes the orders at the counter and the husband cooks it all up. I'll probably go back and give another steak sandwich a try.

Visits here during Pride, found on #yelp (as I do most places I eat) And this was a gem! The food was SOOOOOO GOOOOOD! I'm going to think about it all the way back to New Orleans! See y'all next time! 🤤🤤

This is the closest I can get to an actual Philadelphia cheesesteak. This is the only steak shop I go to!!

Perfect Mom and Pops grilled style sandwich shop and fish and chips. Have only had their cheese steaks and pastrami. Love their Cheesesteaks. Pastrami tasted like luncheon meat style vs East Coast and with processed cheese - still worth it for the price with the best fries. Will return whenever I want a cheese steak.
