The amount of meat on the cheesesteak is a disappointment.

Second time to order from this place and the food was good. I got a cheesesteak and an olive burger, the cheesesteak was okay not bad other places do it way better but the olive burger was so tasty. Highly recommended to have an olive burger. The fries are also average not that much.

Ex-Philly resident here doing my due diligence trying cheesesteaks around here. I enjoyed it and would return. Flavor was great and I enjoyed that they had some interesting variations like the Pazzo, but the bun was lacking. I try not to be overly critical or a cheesesteak snob though, and I’m still happy to say I enjoyed it. In no particular order, Capo’s, Joe’s On Jolly’s bulgogi cheesesteak, and Steakhouse Philly’s nacho cheesesteak are my favorites in the area over the larger chains’ steaks.I wish the roll/bun was a little flakier with a little more chew to it on the outside crust like an Amoroso or Liscio roll, but they used a very soft white hoagie roll that was closer to a hot dog bun texture or a texture similar to potato bread. They could have also put the roll on the grill over the meat for a little while before serving like most cheesesteak spots do in Philadelphia and NJ. That being said, I still really liked the bite and this was definitely one of the better-seasoned cheesesteaks I’ve had in the area. Meat was somewhere between ribboned and chipped/chopped meat, which is what I like vs slabs of ribeye. Cheese was blended well into the meat but still had little leftover gobs near the top which is perfect. Onions were fried and were a good size that I’m used to.I appreciate that their default cheesesteak doesn’t have cream cheese and green peppers like so many places have around here, but I do think it’s strange they go with Swiss cheese over American for their normal steak. It looked like you could choose something else though, which I’ll do next time.Staff was friendly and immediately said hi and helped me as I walked in, so there was no wait at all for my pick up order, which I was happy with since all of campus was really busy tonight and I didn’t pay the meter for my parking spot near CVS so I wanted to rush back.Cajun fries were very good too, even after sitting in a to-go box for a while. Heavily seasoned and none of the fries were bare.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. This summer my boyfriend, baby, and I went to Capos to get smash burgers. There was a new person working as we could see him asking the women that is a manager that was talking on the phone to her boyfriend at the time giving the man poor answers to his questions when he was trying to cook our food. He really did try his best but we got out to our car and checked and we asked for extra mushrooms and extra everything on the burgers. The burgers were literally crumbles of meat on the burger with nothing we asked on it. So I called them and asked if we could come in to get a remake because we didn’t get what we wanted and the burger was little crumbles. The man first off said yes he can make us new ones and what was wrong exactly and I couldn’t even get any words out before the women (manager) proceeded to tell me that they can’t make us new burgers and she saw him put everything on it. Then I asked if I could get a refund then because we hadn’t ate anything and she still proceeded to tell us no she can’t give a refund. So we brought the food back to them and she was still being very difficult. She was really trying to tell us what we asked for and that he did everything correctly because she was right there. I asked the manager for the owners number and name so I could contact them about the issue and she told me that that’s personal information and that she can’t give us that either. There was a back and fourth and then she ended up calling me back and saying “Well this one time we can give you a refund.”

The flavor on their meat is sweet and not what I'm looking for in a cheese steak.

Just go... It doesn't matter what you get (if you can decide) You and your stomach will thank you later. My favorite cheat day spot.

Had the vegetarian sub and Cajun fries. The fries were good - I like my fries squishy and the Cajun seasoning was pretty flavorful. My sub, on the other hand, not so much. The bun was toasted, which is fine, but it provided little structural support for the toppings, which turned out to be mostly lettuce and jalapeno chips, with a few large slices of raw tomato. The grilled ingredients and cheese were barely present. There was also just less of everything on my sub compared to the others at my table - one person got the cheeseburger sub and the other got the white lightning, and both were loaded pretty well with toppings. For about $12/meal, I expected a lot more than what I got.I'm also not entirely certain there wasn't meat on my veggie sub. I found a piece of beef under the fries, and while I didn't taste any meat in my sandwich, I can't be totally sure that more didn't make it into my meal from other orders in my party. I'm not vegetarian and mostly avoid red meat for health reasons, but I could see where someone could be really upset to discover such a mistake.Aside from the issues with the food, the service was fine. I'm not sure why, but it was really loud in the restaurant, which made it really, really difficult to hear the people I was with as well as the employees.Overall, my companions were fairly happy with their meals, but I was very disappointed with mine, and I don't anticipate returning.

I gave it a 5 because I can’t even eat their food to leave a review but I would like to try it. There is nothing on the menu that doesn’t have grilled onions and no way to remove them via Doordash at least. You can’t even leave a note asking for no grilled onions. I would like to try out this place and be able to order delivery but I simply can’t because of this one simple obstacle. Not everyone likes onions and some are allergic. Kind of limiting your customers by not allowing to subtract them. There’s even a spot to add more.
Owen and Hannah are wonderful employees!! Very friendly, food was amazing! Perfect mix of flavors! Will definitely come back and pass the word. Thanks you two for a great experience! (I had the Pazzo, wasn't listed to review )

Food was good and the right amount. Person behind the register was new, but I got the order made with only a little bit of difficulty. Fries were spiced nicely, but the cheesesteak seemed to lack flavor a little. Overall though, I would go back again.

Ordered two cheese steaks and an order of mozzarella sticks. All the mozzarella sticks where completely hollow no cheese at all. Subs where ok very small for the price.

So one of my friends convinced me to try this again after a very much 1-star before (Af_Bunny).I have to say they have redeemed themselves. The Chicken was flavorful. The steak capo was well done. The ranch fries were great warm.Still haven’t gotten that lunch from the last review but meh…it took a lot of convincing to try again.
