The Cheesesteak grill

Saw these guys on Instagram and how they were introducing their new Smoked Tri-Tip French Dip and just HAD to come down and try it. Once you get a craving, it's best just to nip it in the bud.

My mother and I came down on a weekend to try it. It was large enough for the both of us to just split it. We also ordered the Seasoned Fries and a soft-drink.

Fries were great. The french dip was even better. The meat was soooo tender and the bread wasn't toasted so much that the roof of my mouth was tore up. Their bread was near-perfect.

It took a little while to get our food...proof they make it to order, instead of having pre-cooked beef sitting in a fridge to warm up like some places do (I'm sure). Total for everything was around $28.

Some suggestions: add ketchup bottles to the tables. It's a little painful squeezing multiple ketchup packets out onto the plate. Also, it got pretty busy when we were there and there seemed to be the need for more chairs/tables. Just a thought tho...

A bit pricey, but money well spent. The cheesesteak is a classic. It’s like I’m back in Philly. The garlic fries and the regular seasoned fries are great. The garlic fries are in my opinion, some of the best I’ve ever had. Solid 4.1 out of 5. The regular fries are easily 4.4 out of 5. Lastly, the cheesesteak is a 4.1 out of 5. Overall, a great place for a cheesesteak!

Ordered for whole office - pizza, sandwiches - amazing! The works was especially delicious. Philly Cheesesteak fries were phenomenal. Onion rings on point! Everyone loved it!! The service was wonderful. It was a big order and executed with attention to detail. Highly recommend.

There was one order ahead of mine and somehow it took 38 minutes to make one of the more mediocre cheese steaks I’ve ever had. The bread was decent, but I spent more time picking out strings of unrendered fat than actually enjoying the sandwich. I hate to put down the mom and pop, but I’d rather go to jersey mikes

Being an east coast transplant this is the best cheesesteak place i have found in SoCal.
Nothing fancy just a greasy spoon (but clean) type of place close to the beach. Just like back on the east coast. California's just don't know the comfort level of a good cheesesteak.

Tried a few cheesesteak locations in the area, and in my opinion, this is the place for a very good one. I prefer meat and cheese (provolone) only. French fries are special seasoned... many like this a lot, I am simple and prefer salted fries only. Onion rings are very good...and crunchy! If you are in the area of oceanside and have a hankering for cheesesteak.....stop by here and give it a go... Enjoy
