“I always stop by when I'm at the Camarillo outlets. Years ago, Charleys had a "cordon bleu" on the menu - nothing but turkey, ham & Swiss, but they don't have it on the menu anymore. When it's not busy, I ask for one & always have to explain it. Sometimes, it's like I'm not speaking any language they have ever heard. "OK, give me a turkey & cheddar, but replace 1 slice of turkey w/ 1 slice of ham & instead of cheaddar, use Swiss" - this is usually what works & they look very proud of themselves when they get it right. Which is sort of sweet. I'm always frustrated that they make the sandwich & then the fries, so that while the fries are flesh-searingly hot, the sandwich gets sort of lukewarm, sometimes worse. I do love that they have malt vinegar for your fries. But, the staff is usually very patient, which can turn around to "the staff has no concept of urgency", depending on my mood. It's in a food court, so the cleanliness of the eating area & availability of space is variable.“
“3000 miles to Philly.. I'm going to eat here!Been going to this place for years... family owned and operated, consistant, excellent quality.I always go with a cheesesteak bomb.. no onion, no sauce add Mayo. Coke light ice.. light salt on the fries. I mis the ranch and ketchup in a small cup...wowThey always deliver on flavor.. sure it's a bit pricier than the golden arches... but you get what you pay for and you know what to expect. Fresh vegetables and thinly sliced RIBEYE steak.Hands down the best cheesesteak in california.. and that says alot. Definitely Italy my #1 choice to splurge..Parking: Pick and go in a flash.. if you're having a picnic they will set you up with a box for all your goodies to easily carry... I love this place“
