If you like it when it takes 20 minutes to park when you go to pick up cheesesteaks that aren't hot when you get them home...☹️Parking: No parking when busy. No parking anywhere. Saw neighboring restaurant will rope off cars that parked into their lot. Had to park far away.

The cheesesteak is awesome. It would be my #1 only if the ribeye was chopped up as fine a Dellasandro’s, but my gosh is it good. I have no issue driving 30 minutes to get there. It was so good that I couldn’t eat it all and purposely saved half for later. Seriously though, don’t sleep on this establishment. I’ll be a regular customer from now on (even if Dellasandro’s is only 7 minutes away).

I want to start off good because the ladies here are amazing. Service is always A1 BUT the last visit the pizza was awful. The amount of oil or grease was enough to just not be eaten at the table. The button of the pizza was saturated coming to the table… couldn’t even give this to the kids. I informed the staff and was offered a remake but by the time this was offered the kids were ready to go. No discount on it or even offering to remove from the bill which is a turn off cause pizza is the highlight of coming here. And the whole thing was boxed up for us to take home which then went to the trash. Very upsetting. 12.99 kids meal for buttered noodles is crazy but it is what it is. Cheesesteak was great as per usual. Just pissed that the bill was well over $70 and $20 of that was for a pizza we couldn’t even eat.

Awesome cheesesteak! Definitely one of the better steaks around! Take out was a quick call and 20 minutes later food was ready (they even text you when order is done!). Parking is an absolute nightmare tho. Glad I brought my son who was able to jump out and grab the food. If I didn’t have him, not sure how I would have picked it up: zero spots and like 10 cars waiting (no joke).

Best cheesesteak. Discovered from a Reddit thread. Got with cooper sharp and onions. Flavorful, can tell meat is higher quality, cheese distributed throughout, bread doesn’t fall apart and drip everywhere, and sandwich maintains structure with every bite. Definitely would return and make it a destination trip just for this.

Odd contrast: fresh house made pasta and scrumptious clam chowder with store bought bread served cold without any butter or herbs or oil and cheap bottled tea - double the price of the convenience store price, no less. Skip the bread, bring your own drinks, enjoy the food, which is truly delicious!

Always busy for a reason! Went here twice with groups of people and every single person always says the same thing. Wow everything on the menu is amazing and perfect cooked. Get Italian, get a cheesesteak, must try the fried mozzarella, just keep going back and trying everything!Waitress always patient and helpful to everyone in the group, front desk keeps everything moving quickly and they turn tables extremely fast once the parties leave but people tend to linger after eating all this amazing food, it will be worth the waitParking: Lot might be full but there's a good size lot on premisesKid-friendliness: Always families in here
