Limited menu. Sterile derelict vibe. Prices aren't great for the portion size. A strangle little girl living underneath the counter that will occasionally harass waiting customers.

Amazing place to see the game & eat great food.

The sandwich was nothing special. Restaurant was kind of dirty. I'm only giving 3 stars because the kid making sandwiches seemed like a decent guy.

Bought a large cheesesteak and was not a large at all. Might have had 5oz of meat. Such a rip off. A shame to call yourself Philly cheesesteak

I have had Cubans in Miami Italian beef's in Chicago tenderloin in Iowa pulled pork in Georgia. So I know a good sandwich. Every time I go to Portland I make a trip to this place. Got to hand it to this place top notch cheese steak.

Not impressed at all. The steak was super soft with hard fatty pieces through out. The flavor was of metal not meat. The cashier was the cook who never washed her hands nor wore gloves while preparing, wrapping or cooking food.

Nope ! I am unsure of how this has this high of a rating . They even have a picture of Genos on the wall . The green peppers are raw when they go on . I have never seen that before , I travel for work and love a good cheese steak . Even the Tony Luke in the airport food court in philly is 1000 time better . I really hope they make it but improvement is needed . Looks like a hard working family and they are super friendly . Also when you are seen outside smoking and you come in your customers would like you to wash your hands

This place is exactly what it says it is, nothing more nothing less. Always consistent, always friendly, no frills and no gimmicks. I love walking in there and talking to the owner and her daughter. Wonderful place, ONLY philly cheese steak worth getting in Portland.

The sandwich I ordered for $8 Was mostly bread. The “ steak “ didn’t even fill the bun. I was really disappointed, because the ad that I saw was a full steak and cheese and the sandwich I got was 50% less than pictured. Very disappointing and false advertising with what they show as a “ picture of the sandwich “ and what you actually get !

Super nice owner. Welcoming and delicious breakfast all for 5 bucks. Can't beat that. The warm roll and fresh eggs were perfect pairing with the delicious meat. Thank you!!
