    Claymont Cheesesteak
    Metapod M.

    Came hungry AF. Ordered large Claymont cheese steak. Devoured it. 10/10 would do it again. No further comments.

    Mold on cheesecake
    April V.

    I should have trusted my instinct and canceled my takeout order when I saw a dead cockroach in the bathroom. But between the hassle of canceling and me trying to tell myself, "There's a drain in the floor; it doesn't have to mean the place is nasty," I didn't. Instead, I left with two pizzas and a slice of strawberry cheesecake. My kids and I ate the pizza, then when I went to stick a candle in the cheesecake for my daughter's 7th birthday, I saw that it had mold all over one side. Will never eat at Claymont again, and am only hoping we don't get sick from the pizza.

    Never again- Ordered large cheesesteak, good flavor but 75% breading. I don't understand the hype.

    We were having family over for dinner and wanted something different. Okay, I did see the mixed…read morereviews and decided to give it a try. Placed our order at 11:00 AM for a 5:00 PM pick up. I ordered three pizzas: Upside down, White & Pepperoni. Ordered three sandwiches: One chicken steak, two beef steak. Wings: two orders. For starters we loved the wings - crispy and meaty and not at all greasy. The pizzas were also a hit. The thin crispy crust was great and cooked just right. All of them were delicious but our favorite was the pepperoni. The cheesesteaks - wow!! Seriously the BEST cheesesteaks in town. You can taste the cheese in every single bite. The sandwiches were loaded with chicken or beef and the seeded roll was fresh. The only thing that could have been better? The pizza temperature. Oddly, when we arrived home (about 10 minutes later), the pizzas weren't hot? The wings and the cheesesteaks were both perfect. Ordering and pick up was a breeze. The staff were friendly and the food was very good. Our only regret is that we haven't tried this place sooner! We will definitely be back. Hopefully the pizza will be hot.

Place was pretty cool inside, old school vibes with the flooring, wall posters, and even video games. Had to wait about twenty minutes for a table for three, not a big deal, as it was a Friday night and somewhat expected. Prices were a little high, but not crazy. Service was good, food came out fairly quickly. Ordered a couple of pizzas, steak sandwich and fries. Round pizza was decent. Detroit was underwhelming, and was really hard to eat. It was very difficult to get off of the screen, very sloppy, not a lot of crisp-was really hoping for a better pie. Steak sandwich was fine-roll was decent, meat was seasoned, but didn't really set itself apart. I will say the bar area had a really good vibe, and I could maybe see myself returning for a couple of drinks and maybe some apps. Wish I could give a three and a half, but unfortunately it didn't really earn a four for me.

    Know it's trite but literally the best cheesesteak I've ever had! For a surprising reason however:…read morethe bread! Food: 5. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: no reservations Return worthiness: yes! Eve awards best cheesesteak of my life--still thinking about it Highlights: - The bread: a soft long roll with sesame seeds was a delight I didn't see coming. - Meat: was lightly seasoned but kept its pure flavor. Most cheesesteaks have such bland meat so this did it right - Cheese: melty coopers cheese was perfectly mixed in. - Onions: just the right soloing if grilled onions mixed in to complement the meat but not overwhelm it. - Size: monstrous! You can easily share (but you may not want to). - Fairly efficient: even with long lines, put your phone number in the kiosk, can pay with credit card, and wait til you are texted to pick it up. - For the whole family: my cranky teen son said it's the best thing he ate on our 23 day summer East Coast trip (including lots of great dining spots around Philly and NYC). Lowlights: - Waits can be long and brutal in heat. We got lucky with a shorter line. - No seating: just an ordering counter inside so many are eating out on the sidewalk.

    Is this the best pizza/ cheesesteaks in Philly? Maybe. Is it the best place to get the…read morequintessential Philly experience of waiting in line, getting yelled at, and eating on the stoop? Yes!!! Hear me out: get pizza or cheesesteaks here, walk and munch on it on your way to John's water ice. Get in line for John's and by the time you get your dessert you'd be done w your pizza. Perfect evening. Now onto the food review. The star is THE BREAD. The pizza's crust was chewy and crispy. We had the white pizza and devoured it. It's also MASSIVE for 2 people. The cheesesteak was loaded (could use more seasoning but maybe they intentionally make it that was as a baseline), the seed roll? PHENOMENAL. The lines are confusing. Lowkey I think they have the opportunity to make their signings better. Dear owner if you see my review, see the 2 perfect rectangles right above the door? Hear me out, one sign per rectangle that says order on the left and pick up on the right. That will solve everyone's confusion and save your team from yelling at customers "ORDER OVER HERE!" Win-win. We asked for a cheesesteak w mushroom and was charged for it but it didn't come with mushrooms :( we do appreciate the speed though and they'll keep your food in a warmer until you pick up (how thoughtful!) There is absolutely no seating inside, definitely a grab and go place!
