In Bethlehem on business and was hungry for a cheese steak. Stopped in at Eli's and have to say it was fantastic. I ordered a large with Cooper sharp American cheese with mushrooms and onions .This sandwich had a great roll and was so big i couldn't finish. The young man that took my order was very polite and attentive. Eli even thanked me for stopping in

Family from the South came into town and I wanted to treat them to an authentic cheesesteak. Eli's had great word of mouth so we tried it out. The steaks were great, definitely some of the best I've had in the Lehigh Valley. The service was even better. Very nice and polite. I will be back! They treated us great.

Eli's is a sandwich shop in Bethlehem that is well known for their cheesesteaks. They are open Mon - Fri 9:00AM - 7:00PM.
The menu consists of cheesesteaks, hoagies, hot subs, wraps, platter baskets, and pierogies. Everything sounded good, but I came here for the cheesesteak.
I ordered a large cheesesteak with cooper sharp and onions, and upgraded to the in-house ribeye for $2.00. The cheesesteak was packed and every bite was delicious! Without a doubt, one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had.
Eli's has indoor and outdoor seating. Pickup and delivery are both available.

We live close and my daughter always wants chicken fingers. They are okay like everywhere else. We waited inside and took them to go. We over heard the owner talking bad about customers. Later in the week I parked on the side of the building which is a public street because I live so close. The owner must also live in the same building because he harassed me how I was not allowed to park there. Like literally screaming down the street. I'll grub hub chicken fingers from somewhere else from now on and call the police if he wants to harass people for parking on a public street!!

Eli was super friendly to a tourist like me. I stopped randomly on a road trip, and he explained to me that in this area, they put marinara sauce on their subs. He served me one the traditional way and the other with the sauce so I could taste both. They were both delicious. Not to mention, the boardwalk fries were excellent for a rookie boardwalk fry guy like myself. I overall really loved the subs here and would 10/10 recommend.

I really enjoyed the flavor & customer service here! I liked the interior of the building as well! The peppers on the Eli's Original Steak made my Cheesesteak wrap EVEN MORE DELICIOUS! If your a fan of CHEESESTEAKS then you have to stop in & try Eli's because, all-in-all they make some of the best! ?

If you regularly enjoy hoagies/subs, you know it all comes down to the bread, and Eli's is perfect. Seeded or non, chewy with a nice crust that can hold up to the weight of ingredients, and not fluffy and falling apart like so many places around here. Not sure if they're making bread in-house or bringing it in, not that it really matters. Their sandwiches aren't cheap but they sure are filled with fresh ingredients. I also appreciated that (who I assume was) the owner asked me for my order to get started on while the couple in front of me was taking their time ordering from the staff at the register. Will be back to try their cheesesteak for sure.
Parking: There is a 30 minute-only parking right in front of the store that ensures cars don't hang too long.
