I'm from the East Coast I know what real deal cheesteaks are about! it's not about a half filled bun and a jalapeno poppers for twenty bucks it's about making sure people are full and satisfied, these sandwiches will not do it It wasn't anything special meat was minimal, mushroom cheese steak and jalapeno poppers, 20$ bro this is it an all organic farmers market Philly cheesesteak. Also I waited about 20 minutes with only two people in front of me, wack

Food is ok if you want to wait 45 minutes for a sandwich, but be careful when asking about your order because the cook is very rude and mad.

I can’t give a review due to the fact that they weren’t even open when I went which was at 330 pm on a Sunday they need to fix the hours they have posted on google I will fix review whenever I can actually eat there

What a fantastic sandwich spot! The service here is top-notch, with a team that genuinely cares about your dining experience. They were quick to take our orders and made sure we had everything we needed. Now, let's talk about the food – absolutely delicious! The sandwiches were a culinary masterpiece, filled with a perfect balance of ingredients that left my taste buds dancing with joy. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for a casual meal or a catch-up with friends. This place is a must-visit for any sandwich enthusiast.

- [ ] WORST PLACE TO EAT, I REPEAT WORST PLACE TO EAT!!!!! Theo the owner of the guy himself is a rude person , yelling at his workers and being disrespectful to them in front of everyone with no shame or embarrassment . He also tends to be rude to his customers, treated me like I’m no customer and even says “ if you don’t want to wait then get out of here no one cares “ when you ask how long it takes. I received the 30$ meal witch is totally insane price, just to open it up and see it’s soggy and wet , everything that I had asked for wasn’t there, I payed extra for items and never received it. The sandwich itself was wrong. Last time I go to theos, worst place ever

They're quality had been in stay decline for some time, now. Once upon a time, I would swear by Theo's. However, my last time there will probably be my last time there, sad to say.

Took forever to make the sandwiches, then they got the order wrong. No place to sit and eat. I would go somewhere else for cheese

Came on a Sunday afternoon (2:30 pm). Service was slow, waited 40 minutes for a garlic cheesesteak and curly fries. Originally wanted to eat there in their limited dining space, but my friends and I were on a time crunch so unfortunately was not able to enjoy it fresh.The cook was definitely working hard and apologized several times for the wait despite it being a simple order. By the time I got mine, my friends had already scarfed down their sandwich. There was a new trainee that seemed clueless and seemed lost.Despite the bad experience, the food was decent - on the slightly saltier side and mildly hot despite it being eaten an hour later. I also got a side of ranch for my fries that was an upcharge of 50 cents which tasted a bit sour and not right.

I can't say that was the worst cheese steak I've ever had, but it was in the F tier contenders.The staff were kind enough, but the food was horrendous.I took a few steps out the door, decided to taste my meal, and immediately turned around. I thought "maybe I can choke this down with some ketchup" just to not make an issue.I was then eating inside the restaurant, took one more bite and threw most of the sandwich in the garbage.Additionally, why are we normalizing charging more something that should ALREADY BE ON A CHEESE STEAK?!?! An extra charge for peppers?!? Really? It's a pickle... so $18 later, I am left at a restaurant down the street, still hungry.Frankly, I am astounded by how many good reviews y'all have.Not for me, but feel free to try. Maybe you'll like this place.

It was one of those lazy days when you just don't feel like getting out the house and wanted to be extra chunky by doordashing some greasy food. So onto Yelp I go, and low and behold, Theo's popped up for cheesesteak. Pictures and reviews made it an easy decision. And then when we found that we could doordash, it was meant to be...or so we thought. The order is listed in the picture posted. Seriously how did this place get 4 stars. These pictures previously posted must be from some other place because the sandwiches we ordered were not fresh. We ordered through Doordash and I have a feeling they skimped us on everything since we did not dine in and Doordash probably gets a part of their profits. But don't punish the customer just because we didn't feel like dining in.I ordered extra cheese on all sandwiches and one came dry bare-bone without any cheese whatsoever. I also ordered garlic fries and it did not come with garlic. I was hoping for a grease filled bun with savory juicy meat and melt cheese. Instead, I got a dry *ss sandwich that tasted like it had been cooked the day prior and then warmed up in the oven to be delivered to some hungover Doordashers. How do businesses want to stay in business when they continuously want to jip their customers for an extra buck or two. Should've just risked my life driving to Oakland for Mills Hoagie This is what this business did - "Hey these customers ordered their food via doordash and won't see the condition of their food at the restaurant so let's jip them and make their food as bad as possible because they're not physically here to complain anyway." *round of applause to the shit business you run.
