Check out the menu here!Want the best? Go to this gas station..... But it's true!!!! The best in Reading and in the running for best ever!Jalapeno bombs are the real deal!Sandwiches are LARGE!I recommend: large steak, extra cheese, provolone, mushrooms, sweet peppers, and onions.

One of the best cheese steak places in the area. Every time I get my food it is hot delicious and exactly what I'd want for my dinner. They are very generous on their portions. They also use top quality meat.

This was the best cheesesteak I’ve ever had. Ordered with cheese Whiz and pepper relish. This sandwich didn’t stand a chance against me, it was gone in less than 2 minutes. Absolutely amazing. Created this account just to leave a review. Wow.

Asked for a cheesesteak with sauce onion peppers and cheese. Got a sandwich with steak and cheese that’s it. Owner makes the sandwiches so you think he’d be able to get em right, apparently he can’t make a sandwich to save his life

Food is good but $12 for a buffalo chicken cheese steak is too much. I moved here from Philly and didn't pay that much back home. I will take my business to V&S from now on.

Owner can’t make a sandwich to save his life. Always messes up orders will not be back.

Cheesesteak was better than the top Philly guys & my wife who’s a picky eater absolutely loved the roast pork.

Great Cheesesteaks (stuffed with meat, most in Berks) Awesome prompt service!

Moved here in February and finally found a delicious fresh steak and cheese made to order. It’s a little deceiving because it’s inside or next to the gas station. They also have gyros which I will try next. Highly recommend.

Loveee the Steak Shack. Reviews don't lie in this case. Went there to pick up cheesesteaks for girls' night. It was a success. We loved the cheesesteaks. Also bought fried pickles and onion rings. Everything was delicious. Have gone back a couple times since. Also, they give you these stickers for every cheesesteak you buy. When you collect ten of the stickers, you get a free cheesesteak! Definitely the new spot for take-out cheesesteaks!

Good chicken cheese steak ?

Not many people are driving to Philly for a cheesesteak and even if they did they would be hard-pressed to find one as good as the cheesesteaks that this place dishes out. I've been a fan of the steak shack since they were in an actual little shack located on route 61 in Leesport. It was a sad day when I discovered they had to close up shop to make room for other corporate expansion and find a new location. I know it's odd that they are sharing a space, without any dividing walls, with a corner gas station but just the fact that they live again makes my life a little bit happier! Although the cheesesteaks are a bit on the pricey side the well stuffed with properly seasoned, good quality meat, piece of Heaven is built on a roll that is the perfect fit in both proportion and density. All that aside what really puts this cheesesteak over the top is the fact that they are not afraid to turn up the flat top and build some caramelization on the meat! I so appreciate the flavor that brings as well as the bonus of not getting a soggy sandwich that taste like the meat was steamed. They've definitely got a customer for life here. Be sure not to miss this hidden treasure and keep up the good work Steak Shack!!!
