I got the steak, mushroom & green pepper sub and it was pretty good—lacked some flavor/would’ve appreciated some type of sauce on it but was still decent. Friendly staff and clean environment. Seating is very limited so probably best to do takeout. Price is reasonable for the area.

First time at this establishment. It was recommended by someone on TikTok. And I must say the food did not disappoint me at all. The steak and cheese with green peppers and extra onions was delish. I will be returning again. I add some potbelly peppers on my sub and it made delish I am add.

The food was AMAZING!! Service was quick and easy. Ambiance was that of a Philly cheesesteak shop! Limited seating and small but definitely good! We are from out of town and will definitely visit when we come back.

The service is amazing, as the workers are polite and work hard to service the clientele they have. The music tonally adds, whether smooth and soft or energetic and vibrant, and the small restaurant has a lovely feel to it. It was my first time but the service and politeness of the workers made sure that it won't be my last time.

Small shop, but you will not be disappointed with the bread and steak quality you receive from this place. I love ordering the cheesesteak with peppers and onions. Yum! Don't forget the Mayo, tomato, and lettuce! Recommend the provolone cheese as well. I think the peppers here tend to be better if they are the fresh ones. When the peppers are too sweet, they throw off the sandwich a little in my family's opinion. It's very small for dining, though. it only holds about 3-4 families.

I ordered online. The timing was perfect and they got the order right. One of the best places to get a steak n cheese. Their pizza is delicious and they cut it like a triangle, not squares (if that makes any difference). Friendly service. Small area for indoor dining.
