    Cheesesteak
    Jeff M.

    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

    New School

    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!

    Old school cheesesteak

    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.

    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.

    New School Cheesesteak!

    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!

    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.

    New school, add long hots

    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!

    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

    The cheese
    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.

    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.

    Fries

    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!

    They have a few tables

    Do they deliver?

    They do not... And they sell out fast. They're open until 3pm and I got there at 1:45 and was lucky enough to get the last batch. By 2pm they were sold out. Possibly delivery via UberEats, etc.

I know it sort of changed management to a lovely guy whose name I don't remember who when he first took over came out with samples of delicious specialty pizza and warmly greeted everyone. I placed an order for delivery two days ago. The pizza was good as usual but the lentil soup was really salty, no exaggeration enough to overpower any taste of lentils - I added two cups of water and threw in some ditalini, added garlic, and it was still salty. I'm not sure why that would happen but here's a full proof way to make good lentil soup: per pound of dry lentils, first sautee a chopped medium onion, chopped large stalk of celery and a large or two medium size carrots, two cloves of chopped garlic in some olive oil, then add the lentils, and around 3-4 inches of water above the line of lentils and allow to simmer, don't add salt until it's closer to the lentils being cooked. People with high blood pressure or pregnant cannot handle the amount of salt that was added. It was worse than canned soup. I have ordered it before, last time was around 4 years ago and it was fine. Of course, it may just be an error or a new person making the soup. I have thought that since the change in management, maybe a seasoned Italian woman cook in the kitchen might be a good addition to at least train the staff. I get the impression that the staff are more pizza makers than cooks. I ordered an artichoke not long ago that tasted good but was not fully cooked, my friend ordered lasagne that was covered in mozzarella and was probably over microwaved or however it is heated, and was like paste. This isn't intended to be rude but to point out that for the most part I like your food but feel like certain things can use more care.

The pizza was very good and crispy, fries were slightly well done. I would come here again. I also came here again and tried the $8 lunch specials which is a very good deal. Penne vodka and garlic knots were really good.
