Delicious sandwiches! My family and all enjoyed our Philly cheesesteaks. I had the henny cheesesteak and it was so delicious, the bread was soft and the meat was tasty. The cheese fries were decent, the fries at the bottom had a nice seasoning on it that the top was missing and we would've loved more cheese but it was decent. We came in 20 min before closing and we worried we'd have to take it to go as we stopped here on our way home and they were so nice they said we can sit and eat! Service was great, the lady who took our order was nice and friendly making sure she had our order correct. Ambience is chill.

When they are busy they can take up to 20 minutes which is reasonable and definitely worth it! Especially if you craving cheesy cheesesteak. Don't forget the cheese fries because they don't skimp out!

Okayy so this was my first time coming here and first off this restaurant is a lot bigger on the inside than the outside! The staff was so helpful, friendly and polite; it made the experience much more enjoyable. The cashier was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect before handing me the order so I appreciate her professionalism! Anyways I ordered the drink, wings and cheesesteak combo and it was perfectly cheesy and delicious! Their wings are also amazingly flavorful as well the sauce and glaze they make pairs so well with the crispy wings. Then only criticism I have is that their house lemonade tasted way too sweet and resembles the powdered Lipton lemonade so I will not be getting that again. Overall, I love their food and can't wait to try it again once I'm around the area. Friendly staff, good food and great vibes!!

Once I find a specific item on a menu that I like, I tend to stick with it; so this review is about the 4 or so times I've ordered the whiting fish cheesesteak with their special sauce and cheddar cheese. It's so damn yummy and filling. I order off their website which is very user-friendly and gives you the estimated time for pick up. This place is worth the visit.

I ordered via Uber Eats and the food was delicious and I have no complaints. Their menu includes a variety of items and I definitely look forward to returning and dining in person. We ordered a cheese steak and wings. Both were great.
