Christo's Wake and Steak 1290 Broad St. Bloomfield, NJ 07003 Cheesesteak Talk about getting the best of both worlds. In addition to costing less than the average cheesesteak, the taste was phenomenal. The fresh seeded bread was soft and doughy. The ribeye cut meat was tender and juicy. #christoswakeandsteak #cheesesteaks #cheesesteaksandwich #njcheesesteaks

Stopped by Christo's wake and steak to see if it lived up to the hype, and it was even better than I thought it would be! The new school was packed with the super flavorful steak and cooper sharp cheese and onions. The French fries were also super flavorful and crispy. I lived in Philly for 3 years and this would be the best cheesesteak there too. If you're looking for a real deal Philly cheesesteak in New Jersey, look no further than Christo's. The service was also excellent and the guy running the counter kept checking on us and asking if there was anything we needed and telling us when our food would be out.

had the pleasure to come back with 2 work place associates. I called our order ahead since we were coming from 40mins away on a weekday lunch. We shared the chopped cheese, old school, alnee school, corn nuggets and fries. They were able to accommodate our request to cut the subs in 3rds. The guy who is running the front is very nice. Either you're a regular or first timer. He made you felt comfortable being there. When we arrived he had already arranged two small tables together for us to dine in. But, it was not necessary. We ended up sharing 1 square table so an older couple could also dine on a table. This place is definitely a treat yourself place of you're in the mood for a great cheesesteak. I introduced Cooper sharp to my amigo and they really liked the mouth feel and tang. the old school with the wiz still hits. I really liked the chopped cheese. the lettuce and tomato gives it a crispy bite with the richness of the coopersharp and big Mac sauce.

I just wanted normal lunch but I left with the sleeps and a game changing cheesesteak experience, on my birthday of all days. I had the New School and from first bite I had that moment when the food influencer walks away from the camera out of pure bliss or Jordan throws his glasses at the wall. It was so good I had no business having this for a normal lunch meal. This is one of those I traveled for over an hour to eat here or special cheat meal meals. To top things off the service was very nice and friendly. They were rocking out to jazz which didn't fit but at the same time was perfect. There's only three or four tables in there so don't plan on eating this there, instead take it to brookdale park and strap in for the ride. What a perfect birthday meal, thanks guys!

I got a recommendation for this from Reddit, but it's as solid as a cheesesteak as you're going to get outside of Philly. I don't judge anyone for going with the "new school" option, but I had to go old school with cheese whiz, cheesesteak, and onions. I didn't love having to order from a machine (I get it when there's a line but no one else was in the store). There are tables to dine in or wait, and it didn't take too long to get the sandwich. The cheesesteak appeared a little small at first (compared to like a sub sandwich), but it was so packed with meat and cheese I was super full by the time I was finished. It was a perfect balance of ingredients and packed in tightly so that nothing slipped out and got too messy. I came in around 11ish, and someone after me wanted eggs, but they said breakfast was over and the grill would be too hot with other orders to make it, so if you want breakfast late or lunch early, be aware that might not be an option. Otherwise, this is a great tasty and quick lunch spot. Plenty of free street parking available.

Leydiana S.

Cheesesteaks are delicious and filling! Definitely messy so grab extra napkins! The meat is well seasoned and flavorful. The bread is fresh and soft. The cheese is really good and they're not shy with it. Service was fast and friendly.

Dave L.

This is the spot for a cheesesteak if you are in Northern Jersey. My son and I were in today, we are from Long Island. Yeah they have the OG cheese wiz, but it's the "new school" cheesesteak with the cooper sharp white that makes it! Great meat, great roll, just a mouthful of amazing. Hats off Christo! This spot is a winner!

Christina G.

Solid cheesesteak. Very generous on the fillings! Roll left something to be desired, needed some more chew. Place is no frills, super friendly staff and very steady stream of customers. Oh and definitely get an order of cheese fries, wit whiz!

I feel a little embarrassed that I've lived in New York City for nearly all my life and waited until now to have my first chopped cheese sandwich. When the algorithm started pelting my social media feed with salivating images of Christo's offerings, I figured it was time to rectify things. If you've seen any pictures of these sandwiches, you already know there's no way it could taste bad. My husband got the New School, which comes with soft, seeded loaves that are absolutely loaded with a hot, gooey blend of beef, onions, and Cooper sharp American. While delectable, I actually preferred the chopped cheese sandwich, which also comes with cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and ketchup. I'm as happy with beef and cheese as the next red-blooded American, but I felt the extra veg and tangy condiments helped offset the sheer volume of cheesy beef that are stuffed into these sandwiches. While the standard orders are incredible, there's a decent level of customizability here. Not a fan of Cooper cheese? Sub it out for whiz, provolone, Swiss, or habanero jack. Not a ground beef person? Get chicken, steak, or even a veg medley instead. If it's too early in the day for chopped cheese sandwiches, they even serve up egg + meat breakfast sandwiches. In short, there's something here for everyone. Inside, there's a decent amount of tables and chairs, but with all the hype surrounding this spot it can be hard to find a seat, especially around mealtimes.

Dave J.

Here's the deal. What's not to love about a no frills...Tiny spot on a strip of stores on broad street. Chalk board menu (or u can use QR code). Cooper sharp cheese and quality rib eye. Would def come back and try the roast beef

Alex G.

Finally got to experience the hype. I tried two different cheese steaks; New School Cooper sharp American, Steak, Onions Pairs well with: Deftones "Back to School" & provolone & onions. I must say well worth the trip and wait.

Ed R.

I actually saw this place on Instagram and had to give it a try. Stopped on here on a Saturday and it was pretty busy. Was told up front the wait would be 45 minutes. In ordered and ran some errands and at exactly 45 minutes my order was ready. I decided on the chop cheese sandwich. It was very good and was a nice sized sandwich. The roll of as very good as well. Service was good. Be aware that if you come in on a Saturday it's gonna be busy. People after me were told over an hour wait. Get here early on busy days. I will be back to try the cheesesteak for sure.

Heather L.

Came here to simply try roast beef, but definitely will return for cheesesteak. I truly wanted the roast beef on the onion roll, but my hubby simply asked for roast beef and mayo on a roll, not specifying onion roll. The original RB has relish and BBQ sauce while the North Shore has horseradish and BBQ sauce. It was lean and cut super thin the way I love it sliced! Plenty of meat and Italian bread was nice and fresh. I could barely eat half as they do not skimp on portion. About 6 tables to eat at and more like a walk in type deli atmosphere. Everything was clean and the staff was pleasant. Just wish my hubs asked what I truly wanted, but next time I'll handle myself. Gladly recommend and will update once I try their cheesesteaks!

The cheesteak is amazing. I got the old school and there isn't a better cheesteak in the area. The chicken cheesteaks is not your normal chicken cheesteak. It has a ton of seasoning and it isn't chopped up nice. Its chunks of chicken with a lot of flavor. My friends also tried it and they enjoyed it. The flavor is really good just not what I'm looking for in a chicken cheesteak. I want that seaside heights chopped chicken cheese taste without all the spices. Anyway, another fault is the time it takes to get it. Even without a lot of orders they seem to take forever. Not a huge deal but it's not a spot you can decide to just walk into. Their hours are terrible, Terrible!! The place is dark and didn't have the best smell. They have an old creaky screen door that smacks open and shut the entire time you wait. Needs to go! I got there around noon and they didn't have any bread for breakfast sandwiches so I couldn't try one. I would get a cheesteak here again during the week when it's slow. Won't try again on weekend until they get it all together. Great cheesesteak just needs some improvements on overall experience. Oh and I get that cardboard "boxes" are the new thing but for some reason I prefer my cheesteak rolled up in some nice paper. read more

So glad this place has opened so close to home. Ordered the old school Philly cheesesteak with Wiz and the new school Philly cheesesteak with Cooper Sharp. The old school was really good but the new school was next level. That Cooper Sharp cheese melts so well and has an amazing flavor. You can tell the meat was super fresh and the bread from Rockland bakery was perfect. Will definitely be coming back again to try other menu items read more

I have never written a Yelp review without trying the food first, but...the place has the ambiance of a prison cell, dark, no heat on a cold and rainy day. Ordered the chop cheese sandwich. Pretty simple, right? They were out of ground beef and chicken but could sub with steak. At 1:15, how could they be so poorly stocked? There were five guys waiting for their order and I knew it was time to book. Sad to say they won't last very long. read more

Today i attended Christos for the first time and i was absolutely shocked the way this cheesesteak was perfectly proportioned from the seeded roll to the even amount of steak mushrooms and onions were aligned, My first bite was like i had eaten a Music note and my stomach wanted to sing a song. I been searching for a great cheese steak place local and finally found one! I like to look at food as a movie and the last bite is the credits i strongly believe that that was the best cheesesteak mini movie i seen in my life i did not get a chance to speak with the owner of the place but i wish you guys over at Christos best of luck and will be getting more cheesesteaks from yous more often Thank you for making me and my stomach happy today God Bless! :) 10/10 read more

I built my own cheesesteak based on my favorite style, which is steak, provolone, mushrooms, peppers, onions. Simply put, it was the best I've had around. Certainly better than anything I ever got in Philadelphia. Somehow they made it very moist yet not greasy at all. I'm excited to try the new school in the future. I just wanted to be able to judge based on a kind of cheesesteak I've had all around. I would easily declare this to be the best cheesesteak in the area. Nice touch with the seeded bun. Front of the house guy was very nice and concerned with customer experience which is a good sign for any business. read more

It is cafeteria style of service, and seating. It is a louder vibe due to it being crowded. The staff is always very nice. I opted to get my salad to go.

Met up with some friends on a Friday night for Happy Hour. We got there at 5pm, knowing we only…read morehad to 6 pm to enjoy happy hour. We were seated in the back area as there was about 8 to 10 of us. The well drinks (tito, margarita, etc) were priced at $10 and appetizers priced at the same. I ordered a lemon drop martini to drink, grilled oysters and steak crostini to eat. My grilled oysters were okay, except for one that has some "crunch"...lol to it. My steak was medium and cooked as ordered. But the show stopper was definitely the lemon drop martini, it was a good strong. So I ordered a second. The other girls really enjoyed their Caesar salad and mango margaritas. Our service was a bit slow, but good overall. Good happy hour spot, with a parking lot.

The resturant was smaller than I thought but very cozy with a room with a bar and a dining area…read more There is an upstairs area where the only bathrooms are also located but it was empty when we were there. Also there is a parking lot, and they were offering valet when we went. I enjoyed the food I had as an entree (steak frites). What I didn't like was our waiter was constantly trying to up charge us. He kept asking if we wanted to add specific things to all our orders and even if we said no, he still insisted on it. This even occurred with shots of alcohol. I explicitly said I was driving and didn't want it and still shots were brought out with out us even asking. We thought maybe he was being very nice. Or maybe something was included we didn't know about ( what was added were things like a Caesar salad, Brussel sprouts, and sweet potato fries so it easy to see how we didn't see it was things out of the ordinary included as sides for meals) or we were for some reason getting something comped, but that was not the case. Our bill was ASTRONOMICAL. If we didn't have these items we didn't want added on, it would have been fine but this type of way of doing business makes me never want to go back. We considered fighting the bill, but we did eat the food because at the time we thought it was either included or comped. Please be aware of this if you visit this restaurant, and if you are insisted upon adding things to your order learn from our mistake and ask more questions if it's included or make sure you explicitly say NO.

The sandwiches were delicious; I'd highly recommend the turkey and ham. The French onion wasn't my favorite, but the meat was tender and flavorful, and the mozzarella was excellent. No complaints. The cookie was the best I've ever had; gooey chocolate, not overly sweet, just perfect. I'll be going back to try the breakfast wraps.

It's worth it just for the mozzarella. They gave out a little sample, and it was salty and creamy…read more I went with the D'Angelo sandwich which is a bunch of deli meats (capocollo, salami, ham) then the star of the show, the "mootz" and then some veggies. It didn't take long to make, and there are a couple of bar stools against the window if you prefer to dine in. It seems most people take it to go. The mozzarella was as thick as the bread and was a hearty meal with tons of flavor packed in every bite. There is a fee to use a credit card and street parking. It's a great spot for a special lunch.

We shared a lentil soup that was good, though it could have used a squeeze of lemon or something similar to brighten the flavor. The falafel sandwich was delicious, packed with fresh pickles and paired perfectly with a side of baba ghanoush. The chicken shawarma sandwich was also tasty, though it didn't include the same pickles as the falafel. Overall, this was a delicious and authentic spot that I'd definitely visit again if I were in the area.

I'm sad to give this place two stars because I was really excited about the menu. My boyfriend and…read moreI ordered to-go from here. We got the jebneh, the lentil soup, and the falafel platter with french fries and salad. We started with the jebneh which is basically white pizza. It was pretty mid. I thought the lentil soup would be puréed but it wasn't and it had a ton of onions which I don't particularly care for. This is however a personal preference and not part of why I am giving two stats. The falafel was cooked well but not seasoned well and lacked flavor. The dipping sauce was watery, and could have also offered more flavor. My boyfriend and I went to finish the jebneh and I found a hair in it. Not mine and not my boyfriend's. I called Manouche to let them know and they offered to remake it but honestly the food overall really upset my stomach. My boyfriend also had a stomach ache after the food. The manager who I spoke to about the food was pretty unsympathetic and said she'd double check their processes and that hair was highly unusual. I just didn't love the customer service. Overall, the food even without the hair was mediocre. My boyfriend said the best thing was the root beer he got from there. I don't think we will be going back any time soon.
