I am from West PhillyJust passing through....I'm sorry but you people do not know what a Philly cheese steak taste likeOr how it's made...I'm sure you like itBut that's not the way you do it....But I am sure It was an expensive loose meat sandwich at best.....But that's okay maybe I don't know how to cook corn properly

If I could give this place more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the moment I took my first bite, I knew Cheesesteaks and More in Charles City is the real deal. The owner, Antoine (originally from Philadelphia), clearly knows how to do cheesesteaks right. You can taste the Philly authenticity in every bite. As someone who’s had the real thing in Philly, I was blown away – it felt like I was back on South Street enjoying a classic cheesesteak, but here I am in Iowa!
I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak “North Philly style” with all the fixings, and it was incredible. The sandwich was loaded with tender, thinly-sliced steak, gooey melted cheese, grilled onions, peppers – all the good stuff. Every mouthful was savory, juicy bliss. It’s honestly rare to find a cheesesteak this good outside of Philadelphia or New York City, but Antoine nailed it. The flavor, the texture, the portions – everything was spot on. I kept closing my eyes and just savoring because it was that good!
And guess what – it’s not just cheesesteaks here. The menu has so much more to love. I tried the loaded fries and they were out-of-this-world tasty (think crispy fries piled high with cheese, steak, and toppings…yum!). There are also other sandwiches and specials that sounded amazing (can’t wait to try the chicken parm sandwich next time). It’s clear they put as much love and flavor into all their menu items as they do their famous cheesesteaks. You could eat here multiple times a week and find something new and delicious each visit.
On top of the fantastic food, the service is fast and super friendly. Antoine and his team make you feel right at home from the second you walk in. Even when it’s busy, they hustle to get orders out quickly without ever losing their smile or warmth. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. The whole vibe in the restaurant is fun and lively – it’s like eating with family and friends. At one point, Antoine was even singing while cooking our food, and let me tell you, the man can sing! His voice is so good he could audition for The Voice or America’s Got Talent, no joke. It turned our meal into a delightful dinner-and-a-show experience. His energy and passion (for both cooking and singing) are infectious, and it just makes the atmosphere awesome.
Now, I’ll be honest, the place might not look like much from the outside; it’s a humble little spot that’s easy to miss if you’re not looking. But don’t let that fool you. Inside, the focus is all on the food and it absolutely delivers. The cheesesteaks and everything here are totally worth it. This is truly a hidden gem in Charles City. In fact, it’s the kind of gem you almost want to keep secret so it doesn’t get too crowded, but Antoine and his crew deserve all the success in the world. Cheesesteaks and More is a local treasure that I’ll be fiercely loyal to from now on. Do yourself a favor and check this place out – it’s a 5-star experience through and through. I’m already planning my next visit and thinking about what I’m going to try next time!
*** EDIT: learned that Antoine was not actually the owner. Sorry I was misinformed. However, he made an incredible Philly still!! But the owner Joe IS actually the one from Philly and taught Antoine. incredible voice. Check it out.

Such a nice young man took our order. Fast service and such good food. Yummy the French fries! My Chicken Parm sandwich was delicious! We will be back.

We did the spaghetti and meatball valentines special . Meatballs were a 10/10 🙌 and the Oreo fluff was the BEST (sorry grandma)

We ordered from the restaurant for our company meeting. We didn't have enough for a catered meal but everyone was about to personalize their order. I emailed the order in with the names and It was all ready to go in a heat bag exactly on time! I even added an order on when I got there and it went seamlessly! Thank you so much for the awesome service!

1st had All about Cheesesteaks through the food truck. Once I heard they were opening a store front was extremely excited. When around Charles City or making a special trip I know I will be satisfied.

The South Jersey Cheesesteak was amazing!

Food is good but expensive. Moved here from Chicago over 2 years ago so I was really excited to see a cheesesteak place. The food is good but I've had better so that is why rated as I did. You actually get MORE for your money in Chicago for a cheesesteak & fries vs. just the sandwich here. Atmosphere is like a fast food restaurant (old Taco Johns building).
Was ok. Special sauce (1$ upcharge) tasted like taco sauce. 🤷♂️

I met the sweetest lady who worked there, and she she quit literally made my night🙏🫶

I was in during a slower period. The service given by the cashier was outstanding! Never had a cheese steak before and I took forever to order the man was so patient. The signature sauce is to die for! I absolutely love the idea of the Christmas time free combos they offer 10/10 humans for that one! Will definitely be going back

It was an off hour about 3ish. The two team members that were working both were friendly. Food was awesome! We got the steak on a roll and on fries!
