★★★★☆ 4.0 Brent Thompson · Jan 2026

Let me start by saying this is THE BEST Philly Cheese Steak I have had in a looong time. I ordered The Classsic Philly Cheese Steak and was not disappointed. The steak was flavorful, the onions & peppers were sweet. The cheese sauce & the bread were the stars of the show and really tie it all together. The steak fries are hearty. We didn't wait in line and there was plenty of seating for a week night. I can imagine on a Friday or Saturday night there would be a healthy crowd. We will definitely be back to try another Philly Cheesesteak.

Cheese steaks are either good or not. This spots solid. Ordered the hoagie. Cheese steak sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. Ordered large. A “full size” versus a long would be double the meat and cheese. The cheese steak is cheesy and meaty with bread, produce and mayo. Good fix for when you want a cheese steak. The only critique is the curly fry order feel a bit small for a portion size. Otherwise, would 100% come back when I want a cheese steak.

Terrible. Sandwich tasted like a frozen philly cheesesteak from the grocery store. Uneven distribution of meat between the two sandwich halves. Sandwich roll was a bit dry and hard at the ends. Chicken fritters were burnt. Curly fry portion was less than a handful. Spent $80 at this establishment. Will not return.

Definitely not the place to go to for vegan or vegetarian food, but the fries were good, which is about all we could get there. Employees were really friendly, when we called before we arrived to ask if onion rings were free of animal products - eggs/milk - the kind gentleman with whom we spoke checked and informed us they contained milk & apologized. We thank him for letting us know and being so pleasant about it. Free parking lot, interior looked clean & comfortable, they do have the best sweet peppers we've ever had!

Very sad to have to say that this location has gone extremely down hill with their choice of recent employees. Because they can’t change the TASTE of the food it’s not terrible but the way the sandwich is put together is very poor, along with the attitude of the man pretty much always taking orders. This is the last stop of cheesesteak shops driving back to the Central Valley, so I’m sure they get a ton of people who drive over 40 minutes just to eat at this location. Maybe one day they will consider opening one in the Central Valley but for now this is the last stop and it’s no longer worth it.
