I chose here for lunch from the reviews. The place is dirty and outdated. The bread is store bought and not good. The service was good and the meat was okay. I won’t be back

My boyfriend and I decided to stop by tonight for the first time. The service was great. The owner was kind and very efficient. We very much enjoyed our cheesesteaks. The restaurant is a bit outdated, but we understand they have plans to upgrade now that they have taken on new ownership. We look forward to our next visit.

12" Philly steak combo on the fresh baked bread (add jalapenos and hot sauce) is what you want. Never tried anything else on the menu and never will. This place and undergone a major cleaning and renovation, so much more inviting! Pro tip - mix the bright red fruit punch and super yellow lemonade together 50/50.
Dan Hayes
This is the best philly cheese steak this side of Philly PA. That is how good this place is. Its always the small mom & Pop type of places that make the best food. In this case the best Philly cheese steak all the way with hot peppers. Excellent work wonderful taste.

It's a small business that has amazing cheesesteaks. The bread is so soft and they fill it up with meat and toppings. The only downside is that you have to call to place an order, only DoorDash will allow online ordering. As for the location, they should move cause the shopping center is dead.

Best chicken philly I've ever had. Have it cooked w hot sauce and sprinkle a little extra on at the end. It's amazing.

I was in the area and remembered I wanted to try this place! At first I was unsure as there were no customer's but it also was 6pm. It was very nice and clean inside so I am so glad I did, I ordered the 6” Philly Cheesesteak Combo which was a great price. Everything was cooked to order The sandwich was delicious and full of meat, 3 meals for me..unbelievable, he started seasoning my fries before wrapping and I told him no I don’t like seasoning, I had no idea and he apologized and told me he wanted me happy so give him a few mins. He cooked me more and that was well appreciated, the lemonade not sure if it was fresh squeezed but it sure tasted like it! If I could give this guy 10 stars I would and I will definitely be going back! Awesome quick service to!!
