Food is great, steaks tasty, steak fries crispy, friendly and fast service, great vibes and ambiance

I had a friend visiting Philly from NC and she wanted a cheesesteak. We were near Claymont and we stopped in. I hadn't been there in years but the cheesesteaks were still really decent! I had a mini chicken cheesesteak with spinach, mushrooms and onions and my friend had a regular cheesesteak. I also had an order of naked wings, which were cooked well also. I appreciate that they offer different sizes of cheesesteaks and have a great selection of other items as well. The service was very good. The dining room was a little messy on some tables but we got ours to go. I recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Orders are generally wrong.They used to not hate Americans, but they don't think they like us anymore.And if you tell them they got your order wrong , they're going to scream at you in a lot of different languages , i'm sure there was some cursing, but it's pretty bad when they screw up , and they call you cursing you out. Twice! read more

The pizza was excellent, and the staff was so friendly. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Pretty average all around. Service, price, and convenience is decent, actual food is middling. Most of the mom and pops in the area will give you a superior experience. read more

Claymont Steak Shop - Serving this is considered abuse of a corpse. - Pizza Near Me - Claymont, Delaware

Stopped here today for lunch. It was just OK. It had some potential but overall it missed the mark. Steak had a decent flavor and the onions were good. But the cheese was not distributed well at all. The cheesy bites were much better than the others. And the roll was disappointing. Way to soft, it just didn't hold up. Could be better with a little tweaking. read more

I used to live next to the Newark location eight years ago and learned Joe Biden has frequented this location as he was raised in the neighborhood in Claymont. My wife, best friend, and I all went here for lunch on Saturday before the Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert and it was funny since the lady behind us in line went the night before. The staff is friendly and service is fast. The cheesesteak was among the best we have had and is nice and wide so a larger one can fill two people and a smaller one feeds one. They also have various covers of Delaware Today which has them as best cheesesteak in Delaware and a plaque that of Joe Biden pictures that he signed. read more

Had not been here since the 80's. Ordered a jumbo Nigerian, a Philly Cheesesteak & a pizza all to go. Absolutely OVERSTUFFED hoagies & the beef quality good. read more

The food was over cooked the steak and the fries. When we brought this matter to the attention of the staff they ignored us nor did they offer to re cook or refund. The comment provided was that my husband requested the food to be cooked hard by a rep who didn't take our order we only asked for two combo steak meals, best part of the meal was the Pepsi soda. I don't recommend you to eat here they don't have any pride in their food. read more

Loved my cheesesteak with hots and peppers! Great stop on the way to/from Philly. Cozy, welcoming, friendly.

This place is great. Most of the general public doesn't write reviews because if they did it would be 5 stars. Hard working and super friendly. delicious food. read more

Just brought home two large cheesesteaks from Claymont steak on 202 and I have to say they were very disappointing. The meat was dry and overcooked, and it was almost stuck together in clumps, like it was not freshly cooked and had been partially cooked and left to lay on the grill until they wanted to make a sandwich with it and reheat it. The meat actually had a taste like it had sat in its own grease. Undoubtedly the worst cheesesteak I've ever gotten anywhere. read more

Be careful...they have been known to auto add tips to bills, even on takeout orders. Check the paper receipt, because they will advance the payment screens so that you don't see it. I won't be going back. read more

Actually the best cheesesteaks in the entire world! Been coming here since 2011. I never been disappointed!!

Every time I think I'll give this place another chance, they mess it up. Ordered a tuna sub with lettuce, tomato and pickles. One little sliver of a tomato and one pickle on the whole 12" sub. And it had cheese on it which I didn't want. That was my last purchase. There are too many places that know how to make a tuna sub. Smh I'm not even giving one star. Oh wait I have to put at least one star or my review won't be published Should have a minus five star read more

I just bought the worst cheesesteak of my life. I wanted cheese whiz since they offered it but I had no idea it was some knockoff nasty fake whiz. It is not the same cheese whiz you get from Geno's or pats or Phil's in south Philly. I had to toss my $16 large cheesesteak out the window. Disgusting read more

Dry and flavorless meat Non existent American cheese Perfunctory roll No Heinz ketchup Ketchup bottles were filthy The fullest bottle had a tumor of congealed ketchup stuck to the nozzle It was the size of a large grape Repellent and unappetizing Made me wonder what other filth was lurking in the kitchen Disgusting in general and way too expensive for the crappy quality of the product Eating here was a big miss-steak Boo this steak shop read more

I called at 10 am for delivery. It's 11:30 and still no food. Ridiculous! Worst service ever.

Service worst. I ever seen. I ordered delivery. Lady on phone cussing,lying. I canceled order then 45 min later had a man beating on my door. I called the police. It took over 3 hrs. I don't know about the food. But heard the one on 202,poisoned somebody. Think I'll stay with Pats. read more

They always make mistakes on my order and today ways no different. Mayo on my sandwich which ended up in the trash followed by my half cooked French fries. Won't patronize this place again. read more

Best cheesesteaks & hoagies anywhere !!!! I have never been disappointed . Love them

The food is not as it once was. the onions are to big and the steak and fries were over cooked. When bringing to their attention they did nothing but make an excuse that my husband requested it cooked hard he requested two combo steak meals he didn't request it to be cooked hard nor did they offer to recook again or refund us. best thing was the Pepsi soda The Claymont location is the worst i don't recommend you eat there. Food not good neither is the service. read more

Ok, the shop is clean and nice, the service is good, and if you're not from Philly, it's a decent steak. Lots of meat... but I was disappointed by the soft roll. That chewy Italian roll is a big part of an authentic Philly cheesesteak, and these weren't it. Again, a good sandwich in its own right but not the genuine article. read more

not sure who was making subs tonight, but a couple shreds of lettuce, a couple pieces of sweet peppers, a couple pieces of pickles and no extra onions as I ordered on my sandwich. read more

The food okay for quick take out when you REALLY don't feel like cooking. I'm not a fan of their contactless delivery. Despite asking the deliverer to knock or ring the bell, it never happens and I always find my food on my doorstep by surprise. I'll say they deliver within the window provided but they don't knock so my food was not hot and the fries were super soft-almost soggy. I don't think they read special instructions either. read more

Small Cheesteak is pretty good. That's what I always get. A lot 4 one person unless ur really hungry.

Just ordered a large cheese and a large pepperoni pizza and it was disgusting and barely had any cheese. The dough was thick and the sauce just wasn't good. They get worse with every order. read more

I ran over to Claymont Steaks, a very busy bright big shop, because I was in the mood for a decent Philly Steak Sandwich, a classic Philly Steak Sandwich, a Real Philly Steak Sandwich. That was just what I got. The Service is quite fast for the busy location. The sandwich was full of juicy real steak meat. I asked for American & Provolone cheese which was just enough flavor & texture. I asked for extra fried onions which were so tasty. I asked for lite Banana Peppers which were a wonderful touch. I requested ketchup, lite brown spicy mustard. It was so refreshing to get a Great Tasing Sandwich like the one they make. And to think here I live in Philly & had to go to Claymont, DE to get the best tasting cheesesteak & I mean, the absolute best. D'alessandro's & Paganos used to be the Best places to get an authentic Philadelphia Cheesesteak...move over for Claymont Steaks...you won't be disappointed. read more

Ordered cheesesteaks, fries, cheeseburgers subs and wings tonight for dinner It was absolutely the worst meal I've had in a long time. I ordered from they a few times before it was okay. This is not at all anything that I would ever get again. I will stick to other restaurants from here on out. DO NOT WORSE YOUR MONEY HERE!! read more

I grew up coming here, and after moving away for years got the chance to visit again and I'm thrilled that the quality is still just as great!! Will always be my favorite cheesesteaks in DE read more

Great service from the team inside. Big potions on the cheesesteak, large portion on the cheese fries. Food was great. Have enough for another meal! Service was fantastic - quick to get order in, quick to give us to go portions and an extra cheese to go for our fries. Everyone is trying to do what they can during this COVID time - everyone I saw was being safe - distancing being observed. They where quit to clean our seats as we were leaving. read more

Man this place has gone downhill.. This used to be one of my old stopping grounds in high school/college. My fave, a Cheese Stromboli. FOOD: Cheese Stromboli: not much flavor, partial raw dough but nothing a quick pop in the oven couldn't fix. Super cheesy. SERVICE: Claymont had this weird transition where at some point every time I ordered a Stromboli I had to request it be cooked light or the bottom would come black/tasted burnt. I used to go so much at one point that I even noticed this with other customers. And a light cook has always been my go-to. Well now it's undercooked. No bueno. I see no need for a price jump when the quality has gone downhill. VENUE: This place is the OG of Claymont Steakshop locations, and it has come a long way. Vibe is still causal with tables to eat on the spot, but the Newark and 202 locations are nice! VERDICT: I'm happy to see this business has grown but disappointed that the quality has diminished. Hesitant about returning. read more

I have been a long time fan of Claymont pizza and cheesesteaks but today I tried the taco platter. Holy cow! Outstanding! Enough said!

As a rule, I don't engage social media. With this posting, I am departing with this practice to alert Claymont Steak Shop patrons on some of the pitfalls of the online ordering system. Also, BE ADVISED -- Management increases prices but fails to concurrently update online menu prices. Then, they have the temerity to declare on the menu "We reserve the right to correct any errors". In other words they have the right to misstate pricing. I've frequented the business since 1968 - two years after its establishment. My continued patronage is a testament to the quality and value of the menu selections, not their unethical business practices. Below is copy of comments sent to the Claymont Steak Shop online ordering vendor aptly entitled, "Extra Meatball, Hold the Extra Drama" The app you developed for Claymont Steak Shop needs to be refined. Because of the apps poor design (should be based on customer intentions and sequential logic) it resulted in a counterintuitive ordering error which later culminated in an unwanted but necessary argument with the restaurant manager which had the potential to erupt into a physical altercation with a patron had my response to his unwelcome hostile act towards me escalated. Too much drama over an extra meatball - details to follow. Here are the details: My INTENTION was to order a Spaghetti Platter w/ Meatball w/ Extra Meatball. I selected the platter EXPECTING to see "Extra Meatball" as an option. I saw Bread Stick, selected the extra option presuming that Extra Meatball might appear (counterintuitive) but when it didn't, I made a note in the Comments section to add a meatball. When I arrived at the restaurant expecting to quickly pick up my order and resume my trip home following 4 hours of dental surgery, the order taker told me I hadn't paid for the meatball online and he charged me - without my authorization - $2.00 for the Extra Meatball. Not only was I incensed that he charged my card without authorization - which I later determined was not actually charged to the credit card company when the order was in process - he overcharged $0.51 for the Extra Meatball. Both he and the manager asserted that it was my error for not navigating back to the Pasta Menu to select Extra Meatball which is a discreet selection grouped with entrees. THIS MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!!!!!! Is it intuitive? No,...Is it logical? No,...Is the app easy to use? No. I could point out other deficiencies in the app design but quite frankly, I'm not being compensated to do this. I have absolutely no expectation that anyone in your organization will take my experience seriously. Further, I have no expectation that you will acknowledge the fault in the app design and own it. And last, I have absolutely no expectation that corrective action will be taken. To turn your phrase, "You are one step closer to increasing your customers's engagement and your restaurant's revenues!".....You are one step closer to DECREASING your customers' engagement and your restaurant's revenues" read more

Traveling a little further for lunch than usual, I headed here based on a recommendation from my customer. We're really close to to Philadelphia so there are cheesesteaks galore and that's what I opted for today. I found it their "medium" size (with provolone and onions, not "wit wiz") to be plenty. It was not greasy and maybe that's why it was a little dry. I put ketchup on it. Don't hate me. The restaurant is showing its age, but that's okay. Sometimes the best food comes from the hole-in-the-wall spots. read more
