Cheese Steak Shop - Classic Philly Cheese Steak - Sandwiches Near Me - Larkspur, California

I grew up eating The Cheese Steak shop food in San Francisco so you can bet that I don't ever get disappointed when I come across one elsewhere. This particular one in Larkspur is tiny, but you are greeted with super friendly staff and smiles. We opted for their Classic King Dinner (only available after 4pm) which is king size classic cheesesteak split in two that comes with either curly fries or tater tots and an all-you-care-to-drink beverage from the self-service drink fountain. All for $21.99 which is a good deal. The cheesesteaks in this deal come with double meat & cheese. Super super good. Don't ever go away guys!!! read more

Cheese Steak Shop - The front - Sandwiches Near Me - Larkspur, California

Really hoped to love it...unfortunately didn't. Had king steak, found the meat greasy and underseasoned. Maybe the cook needs training. Guy up front yelling at me from a foot away was a nice authentic touch though, lol read more

Cheesesteak used to be of better quality now after the original owners sold the chain they are mid and not worth the visit.

Phenomenal and fast! They load it up with so much good stuff. Went for the King of Philly

The food was gross, and the soda machine wasn't working even though I paid for a drink. I was offered a bottled option, but there wasn't anything I liked. When I asked for a refund, the cashier seemed upset. Overall, the service was terrible -- I'll never eat here again. read more

We stumbled into this place and were pleasantly surprised by their delicious King of Philly sandwiches!! The service was friendly and helpful. Take out is the way to go. We'll be back. Yummmm!!!! read more

Second time you forgot my drink with DoorDash. I like the cheesesteaks, having gone to college in Philly.. read more

I've had a few good meals here, but the last two times we've gone here they've had issues. Most recently todays meal was poor at best - and it's a bummer because they really botched out order. We ordered eight meals, 6 sandwiches and two salads. The salads looked terrible at best, the chicken on the salad looked like it was mush. The sandwiches were all slapped together quickly, you could tell from the amount of peppers, onions and meat. Some were decent size, most were thin. We also ordered 7 large sides of curly fries, onion rings, and sweet potato fries. None of the sizing made any sense. One set of onion rings had 5, the other had 8 ... neither of those seem like a large order to me. The curly fries were all skimped and the sweet potato fries were almost mashed into the tray they came on. I'm not sure I can give this place another shot. read more

I drive from Santa Rosa to get a cheesesteak from here!! They do a great job making a real cheesesteak! The staff is friendly and accommodating. read more

Yes! It's good and not a greasy sandwich! Meat is fresh and so was the cheese It's just what you would expect from a good Philly imitation sandwich shop and it's clean and cozy! I will check out the one I heard was in the South Bay as well and report back! read more

Have been to one store on Divisadero which was awful. Testy service and cold food. This store was welcoming ( It appears that the owner takes the order and stays visible to the employees) and the sandwich was fresh and hot. A chain store doesn't have to be mediocre is run properly. read more

How many times have I driven past Cheese Steak Shop thinking, "I've gotta try that place someday." But my favorite sandwich is usually none. Lunchtime today, with a friend, the lightbulb came on and we seized the moment to take a side trip to Philadelphia. Having been to some of the best of them in Philly, ( YaY! Jim's on South Street!) .... I wasn't expecting to be thrilled here today.... However!... The Cheese Steak shop is a straightforward, Philly Cheese Steak experience. (Only quieter than Philly joints). Their no-nonsense menu has a few embellishments, but mostly they keep it genuine. They even "import" Hank's sodas from Philly. The meat is prepared like they do it in the City of Brotherly Love, and all the choices are the same .... cheese, peppers, whiz, onions and the works. The bread, a critical factor.... Also authentic. It occurs to me now that they may "import " that, too. Now, I'm not from Philly, but I've been there enough to know a good cheese steak .... and The Cheese Steak shop makes a VERY good Philly! read more

You want a beefy, big and tasty sandwich? This is the place to go. Make sure to get steak cut fries read more

Cheese Steak Shop - The Hoagie - Sandwiches Near Me - Larkspur, California

These are hands down the best Philly cheese sandwiches I have ever had. The peppers are devine and the staff is super friendly. It's a small shop with a few tables for a dine in option. I always get mine to go. They have crystal hot sauce packets which I love! A different types of seasons for your fry option. I tend to forget this spot because it is out of the way for me ( not too out of the way) but whenever I'm in the area I have to stop by. read more

The loaded Philly cheesesteak fries I ordered were a hot mess... I considered it overpriced slop for sure when you're paying $20 for a tray of mostly pickled peppers & nacho cheese... totally lacking fries & meat, definitely not worth it. At least the $20 bacon Philly cheesesteak had a little flavor, but that still wasn't worth it either. Now I'm really missing sweet home Chicago & craving that big Italian beef, godfather style with that garlic bread, with some of that HOT GIARDINIERA & cheese... gotta love them dipped & dripping wet, dribbling down the chin! read more

As a cheesesteak lover the shop is by far the best place around. No competion whatsoever around marin. Always fresh and made to order with soooo much cheesey goodness in every bite. Id recomend getting the king of phiily, it has extra meat and cheese compared to the regular philly sando. I got the steak today, but i also very much enjoy there chicken phillys as well. Cant wait for my next visit. read more

I haven't had a good traditional Philly Cheese Steak since my last time in Philly before a ball game. LSS - I was looking for something good and they popped up on Yelp so figured I would give it a go. I came in expecting the usual East Coast "hold the peppers" and all would be good. However, there are quite a few more choices than I anticipated and I left it to Kevin to get me the right order based on what I was used to. I laughed and said "hey I don't have to ask for cheese on a Philly cheese steak do I" and placed my order. They use some serious packaging to keep your Philly hot until arrival. The bun was fluffy and absorbed the juices well, the meat was tasty and juicy, the onions and mushrooms were good but there wasn't any cheese...... My Philly Cheese Steak was....cheese less! Oh my goodness this was a problem of epic proportions I had waited two years for an authentic Philly Cheese Steak and.... I was crestfallen. So, being a genuine epicurean disaster in the making I took matters into the standard Philly way of handling things... I called like only a Phillies Baseball fan can do and rapidly gave my Rocky like interpretation of the chain of events and the culmination of the enfolding disaster that even Emeril would have been challenged to solve. The true horror of the situation caught management by surprise. After everyone was able to catch their breath... They said no worries, we will take care of you and put you on the "take care of this guy next time wall." I relaxed, considered my cheese less alternatives, added mayo and suffered through without the cheese...it was good - but not great. A week later I arrived ready & waiting for my picture to be on the wall with the "take care of this guy note" stars and my bust. But alas, there was no, note, no picture, no name, it was like they didn't know it had happened... Luckily Kevin recalled my desire for an epic Philly, discussion of the Buffalo Bills and upon hearing about the cheese less, cheese steak disaster immediately grasped the gravity of said situation and took matters into his own hands. Barking out orders, like General Patton at the Battle of the Bulge the entire Cheese Steak team realized how important this next Cheese Steak order was and they fell to it like Patton's tanks zipping through WWII Panzers. I could feel their energy, knew they had the right stuff... The anticipation was.... too much, I had to walk outside for fear the sizzling steak, onions and mushroom odors wafting towards me would render my olfactory and taste buds useless for the upcoming task. I had to be calm and cool knowing the entire team was working overtime to make this epic. I felt like I was waiting for the girl at my first prom, oh the anticipation. Finally it was time. I could see them high fiving in the background and cheering for this special epic Philly cheese steak. I gently grabbed the bundle of joy and headed back to the ranch because you can't eat there with Covid19. The ride home was rough as I had to open my windows due to the Philly smells hitting my olfactory glands like I was sitting behind home plate. I prepped for it, did some jaw loosing exercises to ensure I was able to capture all the flavors in each bite and looked at the package. Did they get it right this time? I tore open the wrapper and was almost knocked over - "Ka Pow" like an old Adam West Batman punch the smell was awesome. But was their cheese? Everything was melty and looked right but I had been fooled before, there was only one way to find out for sure I tightened my belt, loosened my jaw and took a giant bite.... BINGO!! Meat flavor just the right amount of juice and grease, onions, mushrooms good but... the Philly cheese - this time it was there and it was a home run flavor hit! Excellent - I closed my eyes and I was back on the East Coast. The only thing I would want differently would be eating it there on the spot. The roll gets a little mushy and the onions, steak would be better if a little crispier which in the to go package isn't really possible in a ten minute ride home. I will be back, tell them you want "Dave's East Coast Philly order." Thanks Guys! read more

Cheese Steak Shop - Sandwiches Near Me - Larkspur, California

Soooooo good. I've been eating here forever and it's consistently amazing. Staff is friendly.

I was extremely disappointed with my order from last night. I ordered a King of Philly with extra, extra cheese and what I received looked more like a regular Philly. I knew something was wrong when I felt the heft of the bag but I wasn't about to unwrap all three sandwiches and inspect them. However once I got home and opened my food, I didnt have the energy to be as angry as I wanted to be but I ordered a King of Philly and I got a Court Jester of Philly instead. This is by far the worst location of all the ones I have been to. I paid 33 dollars to have a disappointing meal in addition to looking like a fool after promising my bro that the cheesesteaks here are A1. read more

Steaks = . Nothing else matters. Yes super busy on NFL game days. Legit Philly style.

The white sauce that they make is absolutely delicious.They add the sauce on top of the sandwich. Mixture of beef with sauce and green pepper is perfection. There is no patio . The shop is small. It is completely fast food restaurant, but great quality. read more

Delicious sandwiches. Always friendly staff. Happy, youthful atmosphere. Plenty of seating (usually), as most orders are take-out.

Super authentic, probably the most authentic in all of Los Angeles. Service was excellent. It's a very small shop, so definitely call for a to go.. Food was very good. I would go again. read more

I ordered a king of Philly, and they gave me a prince of Philly. It was very expensive and did not get enough food for what I ordered. And they messed up my order. read more

I got delivery and I feel it would have been way better if I just got it myself. The delivery took over an hour. Ordered at 7:07pm and it delivered at around 8:22pm. I have never tried this place before but when I finally got the food the fries soggy and the sandwich nuke warm. It tasted okay but also like a sandwich that was made in 20 minutes but sat in a car for another 40. read more

The exterior needs a good power washing, and trash pick up. The guy stands behind the counter while trash blows all over the place. It is a disgusting place and should be shut down. read more

Have been a fan in the past, but recently, in order to make it a more comfortable experience, would change the following issues: 1) Food Poisoning 2) Way too many rowdy customers In the meantime, am going to walk in the other direction just to avoid this place. If you just make sure the food is in good shape, and that your customers are being respectful of others around them, then would be happy to go and potentially up my stars. Until then, this is my take on the place. Thrice have dealt with angry and aggressive customers. That's always a sign that the menu needs more nutrition! Keep up the good effort, though. Thx. read more

More like a 3.5. We love coming her and the Philly is delicious but the place needs a facelift- it pretty run down. They also could wipe down the floor and tables a bit more. The sandwiches are very flavorful and fresh. We ordered the garlic fries for the first time and they were awful- undercooked - heavy on the grease and they just dumped a huge glob of minced garlic over the top of them. Couldn't touch them. Listen- this place is a solid 4 for food usually- it's worth stopping- they also have a punch card. Give them a shot. read more

Hubby grew up In PA, we have perfected this meal.....saw this and thought "In California?" Is it possible? YES, Ladies and gentlemen there is a REAL cheesesteak shop here! They even have TastyKakes! Get outta here! WHITE American cheese, this is legit! They are AWESOME! A few minor tweaks (peppers) but get em on the side. Just delicious, the crunch and CHEW of the bun, WHEW! We got them to go once, they were ok, but they steam in the bag, lose the crunch. We recommend eating them At the shop for the BEST experience. CRAZY GOOD PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS! There will ALWAYS be arguments about the RIGHT kind of cheese, the right kind of meat. But these are the ones that my hubby grew up on in Lancaster, PA area. read more

Preemptive disclaimer: the last time I had an actual cheesesteak IN Philadelphia was as a kid, and I'm almost certain I don't recall it well enough to compare, but for all the trappings, this place seems legit. I'm so down with cheese-topped sirloin, and even moreso when accompanied by a fluffy sandwich roll and grilled onions. I wolfed my sandwich down so fast I barely tasted it (but what did touch my tongue was good). My friends got sandwiches of varying types. A couple got the barbecue and one got an Italian sandwich, I think, but see the aforementioned "wolfed my sandwich down". When you're eating that fast, you lose your best powers of observation. We got a couple of orders of the garlic fries, which were SUPER garlicky in smell and look, but actually didn't taste too much like garlic. It might have been that I was expecting more of a garlic salt flavor, but these are heavy on the former and light on the latter. Once I think my arteries have cleared enough to come back... I will! read more

Yay! I'm a fan. As East coast natives, my mom and I love a good cheese steak shop! This place did not disappoint! We ordered a small (since it was midday snack) traditional sub to split and ordered a side of au jus. Sacrilege, I know. But it's so good. Salty, soft, cheesy, beefy, spicy goodness. The location itself wasn't as clean as the one in Petaluma, but the service was friendly. read more

I have been coming here over a long time. Their cheese steak sandwiches were reliably pretty good. (I used to live near Philadelphia and remember what the real ones are like) Yesterday as usual I had one of their Classic Philly cheese Steak sandwiches. It was terrible. The "steak" was like ground up rubber seeming as if it was at least 50% gristle. As long as you chewed this almost tasteless stuff it would not come apart from it's ground up size. I know costs are going up and restaurants have had to raise prices or use relatively cheaper ingredients. The Cheese Steak Shop has apparently chosen to do both. Too Bad read more

Cheese steak sandwiches evoke the expectation that it will be basically thin-sliced quality beef with melted cheese, some marinated peppers and onions on a crusty roll. My recent experience (March 22, 2022) at the CSS was dry and flavorless sliced brown meat, NO DETECTABLE PROVOLONE CHEESE (as ordered), acidicly-harsh tasting peppers, sparse onions on a soggy roll. Consistent for the King and Large "Classic Philly Cheese Steak" sandwiches I purchased. Not even close. Oh, and the guy at the counter wanted a tip for (what?), taking my money? I won't be back but to everyone...Bon appetite! read more

I have been here three times, and it continues to impress, with great sandwiches. The CheeseSteak with Garlic is really superb. Highly recommended! read more

There's something about not eating meat for awhile. It somehow creates a craving that won't go away. We were in the area and decided to give this place a try. Glad we did. That was a pretty good sando! I will for sure be back. read more
