The Great Western Steak & Hoagie Co.

I went into this place and was horrified. The food was prepared in unsanitary conditions and everyone handled it with their hands without gloves.

Best steak sandwich ever

Damn good cheesesteak. Asked for the best, was told it was the peppers and mushroom hoagie. Real cheesy, ate the other half the morning after. Cool hangout spot too, okay parking. Would definitely come back.

I have been to this place a good 10 + times.. anytime im in this area, this is the place to look foward to the most.. very much fulfilling, very cheesy, good amount of meat, honest price.. i'll be back lots and lots of times

Legit the best Philly cheesesteak I’ve ever had. Got it with peppers, onions, mushroom, and white cheese. Marinara on side. 10/10.

Been passing this place for years.
2025, decided to try because I
was in the area. Honestly I have
had wayyy! better. I can say that
the flavor is there. Bread inside was
soaked. Out side bun a little hard.
It’s one of those places you just
try once for the experience. I
personally will not be back. Also
the place is behind the times.
Never incorporated fries to menu
as well. $17 for a 9” hoagie. Better
known as a Philly cheesesteak with
mushrooms.

If you are reading this, you are welcome. I saved you from the worst sandwich I've ever had in my life. The food was GENUINELY DISGUSTING. I threw most of mine in the trash, went home, and repeatedly vomited.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! WORST RESTAURANT IN LA!!!

I really wanted to love this spot because it’s an icon in Venice and I love it’s history. But when it comes to the actual food/experience, I was quite underwhelmed. I hope this place stays open forever because it is a landmark at this point, but for me, I would not come back. Hoagie was decent, but missing some flavor.
