Overall the food was good. However, I paid $17 for a large sub and there is basically nothing on it. I order sub regular from Penn Station, Jersey Mike, Subway, and have never had a sub that only looks like bread from afar. This is not worth money. I wish I had checked reviews before purchasing. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Update, almost 2 hours later I didn't think I was gonna make It to the bathroom, this place may have gave me food poisoning, I have never had that instant of food to hit me and honesty, the toilet was insane, avoid this place! Original review- The menu is very misleading, me and my boyfriend ordered here and we got our own ordered mixed up with one another because the subs looked nothing like we expected, the Buffalo one has sauce that taste like McDonald's Buffalo sauce and it was the only way I was able to eventually tell them apart although it wasnt bad, the Cajun one has very light seasoning of Cajun with shredded chicken and lettuce, the meat and everything is very minimal and has little taste, if i was to try it again I would get the Buffalo one, but even still, this could be so much better for the price, not pleased.

This photo shows what $14 bought. There was VERY little meat on the sandwich and the fries were soaked in grease. Steak Escape at Crabtree used to have excellentl food. The people working were not very nice either. Go elsewhere!

Overall .9 / 10 This is THE worst steak and cheese that could ever be served. Ordered a blazzin BBQ and it tasted nothing like BBQ. The sauce looked like mustard / cheddar cheese and tasted aweful. This went straight to the trash.

If I could give zero stars, consider it done. If you’re wondering why there’s no line there’s a reason stay away you’re better off eating the gum you find on the floor. $59 for three people and one of the sandwiches were made wrong and when we confronted them, they wanted to be combative and argue. these sandwiches were rancid I hope this person didn’t quit their day job to start this company. If I went outside and offered this to a homeless person they would reject and decide to be hungry. And you think you can play it safe for their specialty items no you can’t. They cannot even make a basic Philly cheesesteak. I’ve eaten better, Philly cheesesteaks form a golf course than this place.

I gave this restaurant a try and got a sandwich and a drink for $13-$15 and the rude male cashier charged over $75 to my account. Extremely upsetting, frustrating and shady. Patrons beware.

I should have read the reviews before I ate there today. No steak on the cheesesteak, bacon bits (yes, dried bacon bits you’d put on a salad back in the day) on the “loaded cheese fries” instead of the turkey bacon the guy at the register claimed it would have. Took 3-4 bites before throwing all away. Complete waste of money AND I’m writing this from the toilet. So in total—small cheesesteak, loaded fries, large lemonade—$25 bucks?? Spending your evening in the restroom is free, of course. The least they could have done is served it with some Pepto—smh dastardly.

Taste ok. Sadly anemic 12 inches turkey sandwich with barely any turkey. Not worth it.
