Food is always good. It can be a wait if they’re slammed, but so find the time is always reasonable. They still have root beer which seems to be slowly disappearing everywhere else. If I could make a suggestion, it would be to add more provolone to the Delaware. The sandwiches with cheese sauce get a good helping, but the sliced cheese doesn’t quite cut it. Otherwise, great sandwich, more than worth it, fries are awesome, and the restaurant and bathroom are always clean!

While Chicagoland is much more known for Italian Beef, this small restaurant offers n the outer suburbs hits a home run with their rendition of a cheesesteak. The meat is flavorful, the bun is soft with a nice chew, and the fries are nice and crisp. And the cheese sauce is one of the best you’ll find. One issue is that they could stand to cook their onions and mushrooms a little more, but that is a small quibble amid a very solid sandwich. And the service was impeccable, with everyone being friendly and courteous. It was a great experience and if you have a hankering for a cheesesteak, this place won’t do you wrong.

I haven’t had a Philly cheesesteak since I had been to Philly so I was really excited about trying this place. I want to first say that the customer service was amazing and on that alone I would come back to this place. The Philly’s were really good and everything tasted fresh and quality. Ordered 2 different sandwiches and both really good. Glad I stopped here and got to talk to the person taking my order. He Helped me with a few places to go while I was in town so that was nice. Highly recommend.

I only came here once when I was still living in the area but I might have to return. I dined inside and seating is limited. However, the service was great. I was able to try the Delaware cheesesteak and the original a Philly cheesesteak. Both were delicious. They don’t skimp on the meat, that’s for sure. Everything tasted fresh. Portion size overall is good for the price which isn’t too bad.

Nice people own this place. Support local businesses. A cheesesteak combo will set you back $20 but it's very good.

First time here and I was pleased with the food quality and service. I got the original Cheesesteak sandwich and it was much better than anticipated. The bread was fresh and the meat, cheese and onion flavors blended well. The employees were very attentive and came to check on me several times. They offered to get me a refill and extra napkins. I would recommend coming here and giving it a try.
