This place took a deep dive into mediocrity after the ownership change. It has rebounded somewhat and is still the only legit cheesesteak in town, but we miss you Alvin!

I called in through door dash and then picked up. Super fast!I had the king size chicken Philly with hot peppers, sweet peppers and onions.It was very good and cheesy, and great to share.Curly fries were okay- a little oily. But usually always good.I’ve been coming to this location since when they had the punch cards!Parking: I call in because it’s hard to find parking sometimes.Kid-friendliness: VeryWheelchair accessibility: Yes.

A frequent flyer to the cheesesteak shop and today was no different. Got the king size chicken with curly fries. King size taste the best, they don’t hold back on anything(meat, cheese, peppers). Today I did a call in order and it was ready faster than I expected, which is always a plus.The chicken Philly as usual was good. Lots of meat and cheese on a Fresh tasting roll.My only hold up today were the fries, you could taste the oil they were friend in a little bit.Overall this spot is good to go. Go check it out!Parking: Parking on the ave is limited but never impossibleWheelchair accessibility: Accessible by wheelchair with space to be mobile

Ordered a king cheesesteak hoagie and a small cheesesteak hoagie with onion rings and curly fries. Well my onion rings were burnt… skimpy with the meat on the hoagies and neither one of my cheesesteaks was not a hoagie with the mayo, lettuce and tomato. I used to love this place. Not sure why the cost of everything has soared so much but the food is below average now. I was very much upset ?

For the most part the food was good, but under seasoned. The gentleman that took my order was patient and assisted me with ordering. I did not have to wait long either. I would be willing to visit this shop

Usually don't do reviews, but I had to say something this time around. A ordered a big order a few weeks ago and it totaled about $116.36 including tip. Before buying the food when we were ordering on the phone we were put on hold twice and they hung up after calling again finally was able to order and we asked to put food in separate bag since it was a big order and each of us wanted ours separate. When we showed up to receive the food and after I paid the cashier he made a remark that I missed but my girlfriend and my friend made aware to me that the cashier (REYMOND) had said “oh you guys are the one with the complicated order” with an attitude and the workers in the back side eyeing us. I usually had good experience here but this one upset me especially that I tipped him unknowingly to his remark since we had such a big order on a late night and he still said what he said. That being said this guy either needs some respect lessons or another job if it is hard to put orders in separate bags and to have an attitude about it. Cudos to those who provide superb service. If you order here hope you don’t have (REYMOND) as your guy! Not so friendly.

fresh, rich, quality cheesesteaks. staff is great, bathroom is clean, tables are clean enough but you cant blame em cuz they're all in the kitchen cookin up the cheesesteezy.
I rarely go to this location for starters, but yesterday decided to. I ordered through DoorDash due to the weather and my cheesesteak came BURNT. No, not the bread the literal meat. I ordered chicken, but it was so burnt I thought I had made a mistake and ordered beef. It was so burnt it REEKED like burnt chicken. Disgusting. Will not be eating here ever again.

The place has great food and most of the workers there are cool. But the one cook/staff person, either white or Hispanic, is a complete A hole, talks to certain people disrespectfully, but then I notice him talking all softly and accommodatingly to certain other people! Whenever I go there and I see him as the contact person, I turn around and walk right out!

In Oakland California Make Sure you Get Extra Cheese Steak Its By Grand Lake. Very Good

Really great cheesesteaks but the ventilation in there sucks soooo bad. Definitely stick to take out unless you like breathing thick clouds of aerosolized frying oil.
