Ordered this yesterday as part of the Playa District food truck lineup, and wow--this place is amazing. I accidentally ordered the veggie Philly instead of beef, and when I went back down they immediately caught the mistake, fixed it with no hassle, and were super friendly about it. Top-tier customer service. The bread is hands down some of the best in LA, and the sandwich itself was incredible. On top of that, the portion was massive and came with fries and a drink--all for under $20. You really can't beat that. Highly recommend checking this spot out. Honestly, this might be the best Philly in LA. read more

I had an opportunity to talk experience this truck at the California African American Museum/KCRW summer nights. Very good cheesesteak and fries. Most importantly, the customer service was great and the origin/history was heartwarming! I wasn't able to finish and took the other half home. Well, generally sandwiches are the worst to enjoy as a leftover. However, I decided to deconstruct the sandwich, warm meat and bread on griddle and OMG it was great! So don't hesitate to take your leftovers! read more

College Boy Cheesesteaks may be my new favorite food truck! I have driven by on Sunset Boulevard many times but this past week was feeeeeling those munchies. They park near the corner of LaBrea and Sunset, setting up a few high top tables for anyone who needs immediate satiation to their hunger. I rolled up expecting young people to be serving but it was actually a very professional vibe. They were very friendly and welcoming, with the eats taking about 15 minutes to cook up. I hadn't had a Philly Cheesesteak in a minute and loved them from here. It made me feel better to find out there are from Philadelphia originally moving here in 2016 and they just missed their hometown creation. I get it...I am still seeking a good hometown Chicago hot dog out here. The Alumni Steak ($17) is their classic Cheesesteak with a bunch of fried onions on top - we liked this. I also tried their Mushrom Major Steak ($19) and loved that one. In all their cheeseteaks they use black angus beef and Amoroso rolls, but this one also includes a bunch of mushrooms sauteed in their secret sauce in the mix. Both were stuffed with protein and generously sized sandwiches! Great experience and delicious! My friends and I definitely plan on going by College Boy Cheesesteaks again soon. read more

I am in Woodland Hills and College Boy Cheesesteaks is in front of my apartment! So I had to try! So amazing! I ordered the cheesesteak with everything, 2 cheeses and I loved how it was all melted together and full of steak! I could only eat half! I talked to the owner, the truck is named College Boy after her late son Kevin. Her story touched me. Delicious! read more

Yesterday I went to pride and I ordered the number one just a sandwich with extra onions. It was bland. It had no seasoning it just taste like they took the meat and threw it on the grill and chopped it up with a little bit of cheese and threw it in a soggy bun I wouldn't go back or spend any money on it again read more

Meh, the steaks were nothing special. Definitely didn't meet my expectations. The bread didn't taste fresh. The meat was not flavorful . The amount of meat in the sandwiches is also very small. It barely makes a full hero. The fries however are excellent.The wait time was over 20 minutes and I was the only person in line. I also didn't appreciate how the lady who took my order just kept my change as a tip without even asking. She should have at least asked if I wanted my change back. I think the combo came out to $22 and change. I gave $23 and she took it and walked away. All in all very disappointing will not go back read more

It was alright, took a while to get my order. Not better than "South Philly Experience " but this is apparently the more authentic version. - the cheese goes on the bread rather than in the meat, so ask for extra cheese! I definitely wouldn't care to buy again. But it wasn't bad. -size is not that big, especially compared to other philly cheesesteak places. read more

I got the standard cheesesteak and it was delicious! Not too salty and not too bland. The bread was so soft. I did think it was on the oiler side but I still very much enjoyed it. I did think it was weird that they upcharged for cheese wiz when I substituted the cheese. read more

Let me tell you something right here and now - and lean in so you can hear me loud and clear - this experience was one for the books! As a fellow foodie, please believe the fresh ingredients on this masterpiece melted in my your mouth on Sunday afternoon at the fifteen percent event and it is still on my mind at 10:58pm pst as I lay in bed attempting to fall asleep but must find out their location to re-up. Understand there may be a line and you will wait. However, perfection, made fresh takes time. I'm going to dance and record my first reel about this Philly cheesesteak on next bite. My only gripe is that moms didn't give me a heads up that I should treat myself and not cheat myself - order 2 - 5 and eat on em daily - trust - thank you read more

Major disappointment on this one - but I will put the disclaimer this was at a large convention. Spent an hour in line despite there only being 3 people in front of me. The food itself came out fairly soon after ordering, so I imagine something happened with the chef. Regardless, I ordered a the chicken with Pepperjack and no mayo, paid an extra $1.75 for lettuce and pickles. Finally got my $20 sandwich and was sorely disappointed. Not only did they get the order itself wrong, it was small and clearly cheap ingredients like Costco bread and what I suspect is canned chicken. The cashier lady who took my order was lively and kind, and the company's origin story is touching, but the product is expensive and sub-par at best. Hoping their usual operation is better. read more

Was really wanting to like this cheesesteak but was really disappointed. Service was fast and friendly and the only reason to not get 2 stars. Small portion, completely flavorless and unseasoned meat, on a small soft roll which was forgettable. The crispy fries were mediocre as well. They're crispy not because of the way they cook them but a breading that coats them and takes away any flavor of potato. Price point very high for a small quantity of mediocre food. Sad cause I live down the street and am tired of the local spots so was hoping this would be a homerun but wasn't! read more

Best place to come if you want to wait an hour+ for your soggy excuse for a cheese steak sandwich. Also drop by for some mid ass fries and your lack of frat sauce because they forgot to add it to your order despite you paying for it! Nah all-in-all, go somewhere else. Don't waste your time or money! read more

Introduction: I love a good cheesesteak but it's very hard to find a legitimate cheesesteak that's made well. For a Philly cheesesteak to be legitimate, it has to have three main things: good meat(s), cheese whiz, and most importantly, the Amoroso roll. Philly Cheesesteak was invented in the 1930s originally by a hot dog vendor when he had the idea to start chopping up steaks and putting it on buns that were used to hold the hot dogs; the problem was the meat juice from the steak, the water from the onions, and other condiments caused the buns to become soggy and fall apart. Hence the hot dog vendor contacted the Amoroso Baking Company and the Amoroso Baking Company made a roll that was sturdy enough to contain all the cheesesteak's content. Food: Cheesesteak: At College Boy Cheesesteaks they offer four options: Associates, Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate cheesesteaks. The higher the degrees, the more ingredients there are in the cheesesteaks. Since I've never been the studious type, I opted to only get a Bachelors. Everything tasted great except I wished they would have given me more cheese whiz for the cheesesteak; it was the only thing that was deficient with for my order. Prior to coming to College Boy, I usually get my Philly cheesesteak fix by going to Boo's Philly Cheesesteak in Silverlake. College Boy beats Boo's in the quality of the meat they use for their cheesesteaks; the beef is of superior quality and it tasted more savory in comparison to the beef Boo's uses for their cheesesteaks. Service: The proprietor and staff are cordial and polite Price: Reasonable Advice: I have College Boy on Facebook but to best track their schedule, follow them on Instagram; sometimes the schedule on Facebook tends to be slightly out of date. read more

Wanted an authentic tasting Philly cheesesteak and I have heard many great things about College Boy before but I had yet to have to try it, until tonight. I noticed them set up on Atlantic Ave while I was in the LB/Bixby Knolls area. I was in charge of dinner for tonight for me and my girlfriend so I went with College Boy. I am glad I stopped because let me just say this, everything about my order was executed perfectly, imo. I went with the mushroom major cheesesteak and an order of the frat fries with the spicy frat sauce on the side. The fries were fried to perfection with an amazing crispy and crunchy texture. The fries had this nice and buttery taste and, even though crispy, they seemed to melt in your mouth. Accompanied with the frat fries was the perfectly flavored cheese wiz which was not overly salty like other places I have tried! I was pleasantly surprised by how good the cheese wiz was ! Atop the fries and cheese was the perfectly seasoned and cooked steak and onions ! I highly recommend the frat fries with the tasty and not overly spicy frat sauce which is a nice accompaniment to the fries if you're craving a nice kick of a tasty sauce with a kick Imagine a sauce similar to a sriracha aioli but not overly spicy but very tasty ! The mushroom major cheesesteak itself was very delicious to say the least. The steak and mushrooms, cooked to perfection and piping hot, was perfectly seasoned and served on an authentic amoroso roll. The tender steak along with the onions mushrooms and cheese was a great combination. To drink I had the homemade strawberry lemonade which was very delicious. It wasn't too sweet and not too sour, it was just right! The service was great and the ordering process was a breeze. The location in Long Beach is very clean and well lit! The menu was very straightforward and to the point I have yet to visit Philadelphia and try authentic Philly cheesesteaks from the city but my fat senses tell me that College Boy is the real deal and we are lucky to have them here in Los Angeles! I highly recommend College Boy cheesesteaks if you're looking for delicious and perfectly executed cheesesteaks and fries ! Me and my girlfriend will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all of our family and friends! 10/10 highly recommend!! Thank you College Boy Cheesesteaks! read more

DANG, so good. I wasn't even hungry, but wanted to grab something as I was leaving downtown Disney. Ended up eating the whole cheesesteak. I would've been sad on the last bite, but they're gonna be in downtown Disney till March, so I'm coming back! The people are SUPER nice! I got a doctorate and plain fries to take home. The fries were nicely packed up in a cup, covered, and the cheesesteak was tidily wrapped up. There was even a mint with the napkins. Appreciate it! Doctorate cheesesteak IS SO GOOD. Had pickles, peppers, SO MUCH CHEESESTEAK, mushrooms, and grilled onions. It may seem spendy, but it is HUGE and they do not skimp on cheesesteak. Fries were GBD - golden, brown, delicious! They season with black pepper, so the plain fries are tasty as-is. I'm gonna get the cheese fries next time. In the meantime, going to continue to reminisce on how tasty it was read more

Quality people with a meaningful story and a food culture directly removed from Philly and established where ever their tires take them... yall need to call the mayor to speak to the Governor about an ambassadorship program to whereever yall are at if you want to have Someone Represent Philly it's TEXT BOOK "Collegeboy Cheese Steak" It's the only Bachelors I'll ever get, but even I was smart enough to make that choice ...literally pouring with cheesy savory umami flavor from tip to drip and I skip out on the onions have them replaced with sweet peppers and add some house sauce....best pointer I'll give you is order fries and eat your sandwich over them no waste ;) DONT FORGET THE NAPKINS AND TELL THEM CHUCKIE D from 42strains SENT YOU it will only get you a fist bump but they will know you came with your heart read more

Visited during their pop up for Downtown Disney's black history month celebration & had a great time! The whole staff is so friendly and lively & the collegiate theming is FUN! We tried the Associate's cheesesteak and it was perfect. We were glad we didn't add any sauces like ranch or BBQ because we would have missed the super flavorful beef and great bun. We would gladly come back again! read more

A nice surprise here at Downtown Disney right now. The cheesesteaks definitely live up to the claim that they are made by people from Philly. We ordered two bachelors and both came out exactly as ordered and the portion was fair, but it did take about ten minutes. The staff was super friendly as well. The only issue I have is the egregious pricing. Even for on property Disney I had to double take when I was told the total. Two bachelors ended up being $37 before tip, crazy! I unfortunately cannot see us coming back for a second visit even with how good the food was. Lower the prices and we'll be back! read more

Love the Vegan Burger!! Owner is always so sweet!! They are on those way to franchise!!

I rarely leave bad reviews and it breaks my heart to do so because we used to love this place. The sandwiches are smaller and still expensive, y'all are no longer branding the logo onto the sandwich. I got a sandwich today with fries and a drink and paid dang near $27 for it and it was dry. I sat this half next to the sauce container to show how tiny they've gotten. I love y'all but I wish y'all would start doing things they way you used too. Why would you fix something that was never broken? The location I visited was in Manchester and Western. The staff was very kind and friendly so I'm not trying to bash them at all. read more

Finally, a cheesesteak that's worth your time to drive and sink your teeth into! Fresh Amoroso rolls that aren't so large and doughy, tasty meat, great service. I'm from PA and still the best cheesesteak I've EVER had is a place I've been going to as a kid...Dottie's Snack Bar in Quarryville, PA on route 222 South. They use a secret au jus that gives the sandwich a very unique flavor. I'm resigned to not getting that note in any cheesesteak I'll find anywhere else. So, that said, give College Boy a try. They operate out of a food truck and the folks who run it are very congenial. I'll go back. read more

I'm from Philadelphia so I know how a cheesesteak is suppose to be made I got a chicken cheesesteak it was very good only thing that messed up the cheesesteak was the rolls it was very small and it wasn't the good Amoroso rolls for what they cost they need to make them Jawns bigger they charge more for a cheesesteak there then in Philly but I'll still give them 5 stars I would go back again read more

Stop reading. Go now! Consider yourself lucky if you already have had THIS phillycheese. I haven't had a good one in LA for over 4 years because they all pretty much stink, even the ones "voted best in LA." The sandwich is near perfect. I had the Masters. Bread was soft and delicious. Sandwich was not messy and only dropped a few scant onions. When the sandwich is perfect you taste every individual flavor and all of them together and this is it. The French fries were a surprise, nice and crispy and not just the standard food service french fry. Price was moderate compared to the quality. Fast, friendly staff on the truck. Like what else could one ask for? Enjoy! read more
