We have never been disappointed with the service or the food here. I still say they have the best cheesesteak in town. Fries have an awesome seasoning salt on them. The chicken strips are hand breaded and fried to perfection. The staff is super friendly and always offer you a free sample of the cheese cake fillings. Do not miss this place. read more

Delicious. Had the philly steak deluxe and it was amazing. The lady had the cheesecake bomb.com/mouthgasm ....Were from the city and came for a show at the Genese theatre and stopped here because it was the only restaurant with decent reviews nearby. Better and cheaper than Phillys best in Chicago or anywhere I've been. read more

Fast and tasty. I had the chicken works which was great. The kids liked the Philly with cheese. The create your own cheesecake was fun. Will stop again if in the area. read more

The cheesecake is awesome! Tons of different flavor and all made fresh in-house. Very polite staff - will be back! read more

My family and I were just passing through on the way back from the beach. I'm a sucker for a good cheesesteak so I had to try this place out. This was hands down the best cheesesteak I have ever had. The staff was just as exceptional. Josh and his staff were some of the best I have met in a restaurant in quite some time, he should be proud. My family and I love the concept of the cheesecake they have to offer. Hopefully he opens another up in a location closer to Schaumburg. Don't miss out, it's worth the drive. read more

It's been awhile since I've been here it's a little pricey but the food was good I highly recommend it for anyone that love cheesesteaks and ice cream read more

Well, the gf was hungry and didn't know what she wanted (typical right). So I yelped around and stumbled upon CYOC. Read the reviews and gave it a chance. Did not disappoint. The Philly cheesesteaks we got were juicy, cheesy and just nom nom nom good. Fairly priced (Philly deluxe meal that comes with fries and a drink will pretty much fill you up and costs under $9). On to the cheesecake... I personally do not like cheesecake but the owner/manager (didn't catch his name) came out and offered us samples. Mind you two freakin samples would be enough to fill you up! Anyway, I read on here that the guy was really nice and friendly. And he sure is ! He started a conversation with us and found out we were first time costumers. With that he offered us a free single cup of the upside down pineapple cheesecake (like $3). Sure it's nothing crazy but its little gestures like these that attract loyal costumers. I'll definitely be coming back and I'll be bringing friends. Keep up the good work CYOC. P.S. To those that said the costumer service was not the best. I can see where your coming from because that lady at the register isn't the warmest nor most enthusiastic employee. However, have a convo with the owner, he'll win you over I promise. read more

I normally prefer my cheesesteak without mayo but this place does it the right way. Creamy, cheesey, gooey, greasy goodness. The french fries are also alittle thick but they were hot and fresh. Long story short, i liked it read more

CYOC is simply amazing! Josh is so friendly and beyond helpful. The atmosphere is like family and the food is unparalleled. We made a last minute decision to detour off our original plan and give this place a try. Sooo glad we did!! Between the four of us we tried three different meals and an embarrassing amount of sample cheesecake bites- all of which were nothing short of delicious. We will for sure be back and of course recommend CYOC to any and all!! read more

Cut to the chase- I'm in the "industry", so I know great customer care and quality food service. I met the owner, Josh, and we chatted a bit, until I discovered that he happens to work in the restaurant biz. Checked it out, and I'm quite impressed. I haven't picked a favorite cheesecake, but the sandwiches are dynamite! I'll definitely be back! And if you're a lover of Philly cheesesteak, you owe it to yourself to try them. read more

Definitely try the philly with the egg on - so yummy! And you can't go wrong with any of the cheesecake choices!

This is my spot! I come here weekly all the way from round lake. They are always friendly and the steak and cheese/ chicken & cheese are always flavorful. The fries lightly seasoned with seasoning salt, and I love their house sauce. My time is winding down in the NorthChicago area and I will surely miss this place! Check them out.... read more

The cheesesteak here was one of the beast cheese steaks I have ever had! So many options! The cheesecake was so delicious! The cheesecake is made all in house and there are many flavors including Oreo cheesecake, red velvet, carrot cake, white chocolate and so on. Price was very good for the quality of food you get! read more

Right around the corner from us so we decided to check it out. So glad we did. The works cheesesteak was absolutely delicious. My wife got the cheesesteak wrap and loved it. French fries were fantastic. The portions were unusually large also. Definitely a place to try if your hungry. read more

I can't believe I waited so long to try. The cheesecake is amazing. The sandwiches are pretty tasty as well. The only con is the lack of parking. read more

I've only been to Philly once and had the genuine cheese steak sandwiches there. The cheese steaks at CYOC are as close to the originals as I've gotten around here. I'd definitely recommend this place. Get the Philly Deluxe meal deal sandwich fries and drinks for under $10.00. I'm definitely going back read more

We moved about 2 hours away and aew so disappointed to be this far from our favorite spot to grab a bite. The chicken is hand breaded and fresh to order. The cheesecake is beyond yummy. The staff is friendly and always attentive. Whenever we are in the area we ALWAYS stop to get our fix and usually take cheesecakes to go. read more

I started eating here about a month ago when A coworker suggested them. I never really ate cheesesteak but I tried anyways and I am glad I did! The cheesesteak is amazing and the fries are seasoned just right. My favorite dessert is cheesecake and I am very picky with it but the cheesecake here is phenomenal! My favorites are the pineapple upside down, strawberry, caramel, and the golden oreo one. I suggest this to EVERYONE. On top of everything they deliver! SO I can enjoy them and I don't even have to leave my home.I order from them at least 3 times a month. The staff is friendly, the establishment is clean and welcoming. I definitely love the food here. read more

Great unless you want a banana split or brownie sundae, was told that the ingredients to make either sundae were not available. So, summertime isn't the optimal time to carry sundae ingredients? Judging by the sandwich, they probably weren't going to be all that great anyway. Thanks for saving me money and disappointment!! read more

I was craving something sweet and remembered I would be driving by CYOC and had been wanting to try it forever! I just had dinner but wanted to check out the cheesecake for dessert. After trying the pineapple upside down cake and the white chocolate raspberry, I made the very difficult decision to go with the latter. As I was handing over my money, the owner heard me talking about wanting to come in forever and gave it to me gratis! How sweet was that? I am going in full hungry next time to try a whole meal - can't wait! The cheesecake was awesome, like a soft serve cheesecake served on a graham cracker bottom in a cup. Big time yummy! Thanks CYOC! read more

In all of my life I've never liked a steak sandwich, I was pushed to come to CYOC by my daughter. I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did, best steak sandwich ever! I'll be back again! read more

Me and bible study crew of 4 ate here a week ago, we all had their cheese steak and cheese cake. The cheese steak was delicious, the bread was really fresh, all toppings where fresh and proportionate. My fav part is you can watch them cook everything to order. I had the lemon cheesecake and it was GOOD! And of course the service was friendly and fast. Will def be back. read more

Had the cheese steak, it was ok. They charge extra if you want to add onions/peppers. The saving grace of this place for me is their fries as they add a seasoning that I think has sugar in it and that it is absolutely delicious. Otherwise its an average sandwich shop. Admittedly I did not have their cheesecake so I cannot say anything about it. read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE...whether you're in the mood for a delicious philly cheesesteak, chicken strips, or a yummy steak burger, you can't go wrong. I've tired it all. I never feel guilty after eating here like I do at most fast food restaurants because I know everything is QUALITY. Oh and I can't forget to mention North Chicago sells breakfast. I think I've become a Sunday regular, they remember exactly what I order. Now that's customer service. read more

They are amazing! We ate there all the time when we lived there and we're bummed to leave. I recently emailed them to get more seasoning (since we ran out) and they were so nice that they sent them for free for my husband. So bummed they are not in san diego because we miss their food! read more

Love this place. Their cheese steaks are so good. Big, messy, delicious, just awesome.

Love their food. Philly deluxe is my favorite. Find it very filling. Not a fan of the cheesecake. It taste good but doesn't seem like genuine cheesecake. Customer service does seem to lack a bit of friendliness but that won't keep me from coming back. read more

I've only really had the cheesecake here, but that alone is amazing and intrigues me to try the steak. Just sooo addicted to the cheesecake... read more

Delicious philly cheesesteaks. Whenever I went, the workers weren't very friendly which is a major downfall for me. Otherwise, great food!

Really great service. The best cheese steaks in the state. Really military friendly. If you love cheese you'll love this place.

This is one of my favorite places to go in the area. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. My favorite thing about this whole place, is the last bight of a philly deluxe. read more

I was decently excited to go inside of CYOC (who wouldn't love making their own cheesecake??) sadly, it wasn't what I expected at all. The "cheesecake" is just a ball of cheesecake mush inside of a cup. I don't know really know what I expected, but I was a little bit disappointed. The inside of the restaurant looked normal nothing fancy. The restaurant is blue on the inside with matching chairs and tables and the workers are decently nice. I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped and I genuinely can't say that I'd go back anytime soon. read more

The place is clean - clean tables, very nice rest rooms. The cheesesteak sandwich was served on a fresh bun, with good quality, tender meat and cheese and the french fries were hot and crunchy. The food was very tasty. They provided everything I wanted in food and service. read more

this place is the best cheese steak I've had in Lake County and friendly staff and clean place defiantly God to come back and try the cheesecake ice cream judging from the free sample as u walk in door read more

To begin with, I really really really wanted to like this place, but I didn't. First time in, walked in no one greeted us. I said hi to the girl at the counter, she just stared at me. Ok... So we ordered sandwiches and made them meals, $18.20 for 2 meals. No thank you, no oh ok great you order will be ready shortly, nothing. Just handed me my receipt. The food was freshly prepared. The bun was cold so that was a little disappointing, the filling in the sandwich was nothing to write home about, not particularly full, not meager either. Fries were really good, perfectly cooked and good flavor. I had a sample of the cookie dough cheesecake, was very good, ordered a single and couldn't finish it. Very rich and creamy, fresh tasting. Overall it was ok, wasn't impressed with the sandwich, fries and dessert was good, service needs some definite improvement. Might go back if I'm really hungry and right by, but certainly wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. read more

Good food with a good price. The cheesecake is interesting. It's served like ice cream and try can mix in tons of toppings. The flavors of the king cheese steak my husband and the chicken nachos I had we're so good. Well be back! They recently opened another store closers to the Navy base on Green Bay as well! read more

Best Philly cheese steak and cheesecake my boyfriend I ever had... literally!!! The customer service was out of this world.. if I could give it 10 stars I would!!! Maria at the Waukegan location gave me outstanding service which we both were WOWed by...! I live in Skokie but will take the trip out hear to eat again.. that's how good it was! read more

Stop. Drop whatever crappy food your thinking about eating, and go here NOW. The cheesesteak was soooo good. I probably could have eaten two sammiches however I restrained myself. The people working there were super nice, we didnt run into the rude person mentioned on the other reviews. I WANTED to try the cheesecake however the smell of meaty deliciousness won me over this time. The food was still piping how when we got home and the cheese was melted delicious. God I want another sammich right now! We almost went back after we finished eating for more...but it is in a bit of a headache plaza. You have to kinnda u-turn in there depending on which way your coming from. The gps had a mild aneurysm trying to get us into the area. But parking stress aside, I wouldnt mind seeing this place in schaumburg someday. Open up a chain! It wasn't that expensive either for what you get, which is heavenly! Ignore the bad reviews and give them a try! read more

GUILTY PLEASURE! Best Cheesesteak and Cheesecake EVER! My husband and I dine here quite frequently....I think we are addicted! The seasoning on the fries is beyond tasty! Chicken strips are handmade to order! There is not a bad thing on the menu. What sets this place over the top is the impeccable service! The owner Josh not only takes pride in his amazing food creations, but he goes the extra mile to really engage with his customers! Great guy and staff! This place is the whole package! A+++ read more

Very good food. I'm always happy to support local businesses! It's whipped cheesecake in a cup, rather than a cheesecake slice. Still delicious! read more
