First time here today. I ordered the "famous" arena cheesesteak accompanied by frys smothered in whiz. I must say i am incredibly surprised on how decisions it was. It is incredibly reliving to finally find an authentic cheesesteak restaurant in the heart of central Columbus. The guy working the front was so pleasant and friendly and even offered me a free York peppermint patty. What a hidden gem! 10/10 will be coming back... maybe everyday!
Don't read the older reviews on this place. It has recently changed hands and is firing on all cylinders. I had a traditional philly sandwich that was as good as any I have ever had. An exceptional bun held a generous portion of beef and perfectly grilled onions and peppers. The whole thing is topped with cheese and ready to scrunch down the gullet. Great staff here is friendly and efficient. Stop in and check it out!

Tucked away in a not-so-inconspicuous corner of the urban-utopian Arena District, Arena Sandwich Co. Cheesesteak, fresh from a change-of-hand, offers a spark of authenticity in the corporate entertainment landscape amidst which it was planted. Sporting a banner emblazoned with the Liberty Bell, this quite literal hole-in-the-wall, is poised to conjure feelings of nostalgia to those who happen to hail from Philadelphia. The eponymous cheesesteak itself (contrary to pizza or burritos, the quality of a Philadelphia Cheesesteak is decoupled from its geographical closeness to its point of origin) has all the features of a classic Philly: the yeasty bun, thinly sliced steak seared at the edges, and caramelized onions and peppers all under a warm blanket of provolone cheese (or Cheez Whiz). In other words it's fire. The burly boys that served me did so with a smile and a nice chat. I shall be returning!

Situated in a less than ideal location if only because it makes it hard to find. Decent menu provides a variety of Philly cheesesteaks ranging from the original cheesesteak to buffalo chicken and others. Also offers salads, burgers and gyros which is a bit surprising since it's not a very large place. Seating is randomly spread around inside. First strike against them was the fact that we stood there waiting while the guy taking orders was either on his phone or just zoning out. Only having one other person there leads to my next issue. It took a good ten to fifteen minutes to get a sandwich. Thankfully we were the first ones there but I had hoped for a bit more speed in getting things done. It's not like we were in a sit down restaurant, where a wait is to be expected. Felt bad for the people behind us in line as they were probably there for a good long while before getting their food. Once I eventually got back to the office, the sandwich was less than impressive (see picture). The buffalo sauce wasn't very 'buffaloey' and to really get any flavor I had to add some Frank's Red hot. The bread was decent but overall I was disappointed. With other (and quicker) options in the Arena District, I don't see returning any time soon.
