We were just there yesterday. I had a cheese steak, hubby and kiddo had versions of the chicken cheese steaks. Although the chicken cheese steaks are made with real chicken instead of those thin steakums things, I thought the regular cheese steaks were better. It was definitely good just hate how things are over priced in the tourist areas. Love... More

This place totally lived up to the reviews I read on Tripadvisor. Quaint and small inside, with some tables outside as well. Staff was really nice and helpful. Hubby and I both had the bacon cheeseburger and we shared a medium fries with cheese sauce on the side. The burgers were DELICIOUS and the fries were the BEST I've ever... More

We went here based on reviews. I had the mushroom swiss burger and fries. The burger was excellent and the fries were better than Mickey D's. The cook was friendly and the service was good. Interesting interior with photos, signs and hats. The orangeade was the best.

Seemed like a hole in the wall tourist place but got good reviews on trip adviser so we gave it a try. So glad we did. It is small, only about 6-7 tables inside and 2 outside. I got the cheese steak and wife got the cheeseburger. Both where juice and tender. We shared a medium fry which could have... More

I have been dying for a decent Philly cheesesteak since i haven't been to Philly in awhile...and this was delicious!! The cheesesteak with onions was amazing and the fries...wow, don't skip and get them!! And with the malt vinegar in a spray bottle at your table...my mouth is watering as I type! And the owners are super nice and friendly... More

Place is so great, Fries are just about the best...You can sit inside or out, inside is a little packed because it is a gift shop but that makes it more interesting.

Even though they were not set up outside yet, the waitress very kindly offered to do so for us so that we could sit at an outside table with our 4 Greyhounds. She was very friendly and accommodating, and the food was great. We had grilled cheese and tuna sandwiches, and a small order of cheese fries. And yes, the... More

This place has the best hand cut fries with cheese. The small fries could have fed 3 of us. My father in law loved the cheese steak. You should make sure you are super super hungry when you go, you definitely get big portions for great prices. Everything is handmade and not a lot of seating inside but worth waiting... More

The food was AWESOME! The medium fries fed three of us. The burgers and cheese steak were quite tasty. The fries were perfect. Hand cut and deep fried in peanut oil. There was none of the artificial, supposedly healthy stuff that McDonald's is forced to sell now. It was REAL food and it tasted REALLY good! The seating was limited,... More
