It was my first time trying this place after hearing about it for a while. I was disappointed. I got a square pizza and a cheesesteak. The cheesesteak was good, but nothing special. The pizza was actually pretty bad. And the crust was ridiculously undercooked. The service friendly but slow as molasses. The guy working the cash register and taking orders seemed really nice and enthusiastic, but it was taking like 20-30 minutes for them to just get People out the door. I placed my order online and it was supposed to be ready at 12:18pm. I ended up finally getting the food at 12:40. So it didn’t matter that I ordered in advance, everything was just taking a long time. The food wasn’t good enough for all that.

Food was okay but not what I was expecting given all of the positive ratings. Not a place to go if you are in a hurry.

Yeah this place was the..... Really good, inexpensive and guys working there were cool. It's the 'it' place for cheese steaks in the DMV. Nice guys and reasonable. Wasn't cheap because I got a huge one, but is enough for two meals. Parking is a pain if crowded, but a solid place. Go visit.

Really good Philly cheesesteak, fresh and flavorful. The crinkle fries were awesome. Sweet tea wasn’t too sweet, just right. Super great value. Will definitely be back.

I have been coming here since I was about 2 years old. I always get a cheese pizza plain and simple. Today, the pizza was trash dry not enough cheese and sauce I'm very disappointed in the quality. It went down hill once Abdul left to go over to their new spot in MD. Sigh

I went there because I heard on reddit that they had the best steak and cheese sub, and it wasn't bad but not the best.

Coming from a PA, I grew up on great Cheese steaks. Did the broiler nail it? Almost. I ordered the classic cheese steak with grilled onions. The toasted brominated roll 10/10, the quality of the steak 10/10, seasoning n/a, cheese 3/10 (provolone is great for the cheese pull but it's the wrong cheese for this classic 😋. The vibe felt like home. It was laid back and wasnt loud. The broiler is a well oiled machine. They greeted us on the way and said thank you and goodbye on the way out . 1000/10. I would dine in again.l and try my hand at the square pizza. Wishing the broiler much continued success 🙌

The best subs in Arlington! I’ve been eating there for over 35 years. Through various changes in ownership /management the quality has never fluctuated!

The sub was good and the pizza was average. Hygiene seemed moderate and could be improved. Prices are cheap, which makes it a reasonable option if you’re looking for something affordable and casual.
