If you are starving and want to fill yourself up to the brim with an enormous, delicious cheese steak, this is the place to do it. These guys do not mess around. It's like the Burritozilla of cheese steaks. Their "half" size is like 2 loaded double meat sandwiches from any other place. The fries are super crispy and tasty too - enough so that it's something worth calling out in a review. The service was lightning fast as well. Highly recommended!

This was a pleasant surprise! I didn’t expect to walk into the northeast and eat the delicious cheesesteak hoagies I know from my childhood. I love the eagle fandom covering the walls. So nostalgic. But most of all, the way a proper Philly cheese steak is supposed to taste. I’ll for sure be returning.

Good day Googlers, hope you are hungry and feeling a good cheesesteak because this place is gonna rock those taste buds. I ended up getting the works which is like your traditional cheesesteak. They had a secret menu item for the day which was called the death basket (was the pie tin I included for you all to see). That paired with a shorty works was enough to fill me up. I really enjoy a cheesesteak that isn’t dry and the hoagie roll they used really absorbed those juices up for a delicious fulfilling meal. Come hungry, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Excellent cheese steaks! The most popular item is 'The Works.' The meat was cooked well & the bread rolls were fresh. The 'Shorty' size can be enough for a person. Other meat options include chicken, ham, tuna, or sausage. Location is small (pretty much a hole in the wall), there are several decorations reppin' Philly, and lots of photo frames from the owners. Staff are friendly each and every visit. 100% worth the drive here if you're looking for good, authentic cheese steak!

Th yummiest cheesesteak I have ever had. I have tried many since being introduced to this delicacy 20 years ago. The bread is soft. The chicken is tender. The melted cheese so creamy. A perfect balance of onions, peppers, and mushrooms.

Very good...and friendly...I had the Chicken parmigiana sandwich and it was delicious

Writing a review just because my family ate here again after a few years, and the cheese steaks are still amazing. The amount of food you get for the price is worth it. Oh, and also great interior.

Whenever I pass through San Jose I stop here. The sandwiches are great (The Works). Highly recommend it!

Are you in the mood for a cheese steak? Then you absolutely must come here. Everything about it from the soft roll to the meat to the cheese was great!!! It's so filling and so tasty! Defintely a highly recommended stop!!

Some things should never change. Ordered the mushroom cheesesteak and split a 12” with a buddy. Plenty to enjoy, along with a cold Mug root beer. Never fancy, and always hits the spot….the way they have for decades.
