Such an interesting concept. One or two scoops of cheesecake on graham cracker crust with topping. We ordered lemon and sundae. They have all kinds of yummy flavors. read more

CYOC - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Waukegan, Illinois

This place is everything that's been missing from my life. Cheesecake and cheesesteak - what's not to love?! I have to admit I only sampled the cheesecakes, but they were amazing! The cheesesteaks are so delicious as well. They are so big it can easily be a 2 meaner. We will be back often! read more

I found this place on Restaurant.com when browsing new restaurants in the area. As someone who grew up half their life in Philly, I was excited to see a new Cheesesteak in the area. Unfortunately, I am about 35 minutes away from this place but after eating here for the first time a week or so ago, I have been back three times since then. Let's just say this place is unbelievably good. As someone who knows a true cheesesteak, CYOC passes my cheesesteak inspection and that is not easy to do. Their food is to die for. And, I'm dead serious about that. I am actually ready to drive up there today to get a cheesesteak. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Prices are excellent as well. About $6 for a cheesesteak and another $2 for a big side of seasoned french fries and a drink. Their fries are amazing as well. Oh, and so is the cheesecake. I don't think there is anything on their menu that I don't absolutely love. Even their nachos is amazing! Not only is the food and pricing excellent but the service is always friendly and welcoming. This place is absolutely exceptional and I highly recommend CYOC to anyone within the general area. If you are a half hour out like me, I would still recommend you take the drive to experience this for yourself. You will not be disappointed. If I could, I would give this place a 6th star. read more

Torn on how many starts to give this place.... Food first: Fries- hot and fresh, made to order yummie. The sauce is a house special, but I'm pretty darn sure it's a ketchup mayo combo, which don't get me wrong is delish! Philly-loved the mayo sauce on the bun, cheese was decent but needed more melt, and the meat was a tad tough...all around good but the picture I saw made me think it was gonna be really great (the one where it is open faced and fabulous looking). My pic shows a bit of a different story... Drink-fountain coke products, free refills Service: Grilling/line cook guy was very nice, but the counter girl was not so great. We got there about 30 minutes before close and they were already mopping, so we felt awkward...hey, can you drop the mop and make my food? Wait until you are closed to mop.... When I asked if there were any onion or mushrooms for the Philly the girl said "nope, just cheese" Keep in mind I ordered hurriedly after I felt bad about coming in "late" at 8:30....well after I placed the order I read the menu more clearly and there most certainly is an onion /mushroom/ green pepper option, its called the Philly Deluxe. Thanks for nothing chic. Would maybe return for the cheesecake which I did sample and was amazing.... read more

The cheesecake was delicious! I tried some of the original and the oreo. Also had a chicken and cheese sandwich. But the chicken was way overcooked and rubbery. I ate a few bites and didn't want to finish it. It was delivery so I couldn't ask for a redo or refund. read more

My family and I love this place, okay it's not super fancy but what they lack in decor they make up for in awesome food. The flavor of these cheeseteaks are delicious. We make it a point to eat here when we are in the area and especially when our out of state guests come to visit. read more

The staff is friendly. Place is clean. The food is mediocre at best which surprised me after seeing so many rave reviews on line. Typical greasy spoon food. I can recommend as a lunch place for when you just want to feed the munchie beast and don't care about the flavor. read more

Great alternative to those who are not near Philly. Friendly staff and good service. Tons of great cheesecake options also. My goto is the Red Velvet cheesecake. Only thing I don't care for is the parking set up. I have to always park down the hill but that is not the restaurant's fault on the cruddy parking set up read more

WOW! WOW! WOW!! Absolutely delicious!!! Order yourself something and you will not be disappointed!!! The meat in our cheesesteaks was tender and juicy, cooked to perfection! Along with our Philly cheesesteaks we ordered the cheddar ranch fries and it was the perfect amount of cheddar and ranch! Get your orders in at this place and thank me after your meal!! read more

I want to start off by apologizing for not getting a picture of our delicious sandwiches. We were starving and could not wait. The sandwich was definitely worth packing up the kids and making the trip for dinner. The meat was tender, the bread was soft but sturdy and the fries were seasoned and fried to a perfect crisp. Needless to say we will be going to C.Y.O.C. for all our cheesesteak needs :) thank you so much for a delightful dinner. read more

A little pricey, but the food and customer service is phenomenal! The King Fry with extra sauce is our family favorite!!!

This food is quite delicious! Very pricey though... My fiancé and I got a scoop of cheesecake each and it turned out to be $20. I got home and checked the menu prices online and it turns out we were double charged and paid for 4 cheesecakes when we only purchased two. Bummer. read more

Love the food - philly steak and their fries with whatever sauce they put on them are YUM!

Place is amazing. Wife and I stopped in and we enjoyed it very much. Definitely a must if you're a cheese steak lover!

So I tried this place bc Restaurant.com had a $10 certificate. My first impression was not great as there was no parking in the front lot and someone had blown up the restroom :-/. Not that they can control either of these items. The young lady at the counter was an absolute doll and helped me with my order since it was my first time. I ended up with the steak deluxe and cheese fries. The sandwich tasted pretty good but the fries were REALLY salty. Not really hitting a home run in my eyes. Now about the cheese Cake!!! It is amazing. They "scoop" the filling from the best cake ever! I got the cookie dough and would recommend it to anyone! In closing I would return for the cheesecake but not the food. read more

Greasiest sandwich I've ever had. I love a good philly, this is not that. Grease dripping THROUGH the foil paper. I'm not sure how you managed to get grease to seep through foil paper. Have to say I am slightly impressed with that at least. read more

This place is ridiculously great! They do take some time to make the food but it is very worth it! I would recommend everyone to at least check it out once in their life's read more

Great place to eat, was greeted at the front as soon as I walked in. Price is pretty pricey but if you want a good cheese steak it's worth it... I recommend that you read the take out menu to see how each sandwich is prepared... I ordered the Philly with just cheese and it made me feel like I was really in Philly.. Worth will be returning read more

Best Cheesesteak Ever! Friendly service, the Mayo sauce is BEYOND mouth watering, so good I take the Mayo Sauce off my husbands fries and eat it. Lol Their fries are seasoned perfectly. The Cheesecake is very Creamy, I've tried Reese's, Oreo, and Cookie Dough all DELICIOUS! VERY ADDICTING and AFFORDABLE! :) Update: They have changed their prices because of higher costs, they even had a sign. I don't really like that but true customers will keep going read more

An Amazing experience on thier Fries loaded with thier special sauce, thier cheese sauce and throw in the jalapenos too,....it's not heart healthy but once in a while; hits that spot like nothing else ! read more

The absolute best Philly Cheesesteaks there is out there. I love the people there too, they were absolutely the sweetest people there. Best food and the best cheesecake too!!! They have so many options to choose from all of which are amazing. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone in the area to try them out!!!:))) read more

So delicious! I have to be careful because there is nothing for a person who wants to avoid weight gain, but oh is it yummy! Made to order hot and fresh! One of my favorites! read more

Can be pricey, but absolutely worth it! Assemble your own cheesesteak how you want it, or try the buffalo chicken fries (my family's favorite). Or stop by just for the cheesecake! There are always a variety of flavors and a million ways to customize. Parking is sometimes hard but it's worth the hassle. Customer service is fantastic and they give military discount, in fact the walls are filled with testimonials from service personnel . One of my favorite restaurants. Period. read more

It's a dive of a place, even for fast food. But the food is good and they make it to order. We really liked our sandwiches (carnivores and a vegetarian) and especially loved our custom frozen cheesecake desserts after. read more

Ordered a standard/plain cheese steak and a scoop of German chocolate cheesecake. Sandwich was okay, just too salty for my liking - perhaps green peppers/onions would have helped. The cheesecake was very good...enough for two servings. Place is clean, parking is a madhouse. read more

Our first time & it was pretty good! We've been wanting to try this place for a while but we moved up to Wisconsin so we never got a chance to. And then we were in the area actually right down the street for an errand so we decided to stop for a treat since we had dinner plans already. We tried the peanut butter cup cheesecake, oh my gosh!! Amazing. It's a deconstructed cheesecake, and it's displayed like how an ice cream place is. You can even try the different flavors of cheesecake they have just like you would an ice cream shop! Kind of a cool unique experience on cheesecakes we loved. We also ended up getting something else we didn't expect to try; their Philly cheesesteak fries. I was actually not that impressed with those. The steak wasn't that good quality I think, if you've ever had a philly steak sub from jersey mikes, that's good! I honestly thought it would be like that kind of steak but it was not. Sort of flavorless too, so all that made me decide I probably wouldn't be getting any of their philly steak sandwiches in the future. The cheese was okay. Fries were pretty good! When we go back, (yes we are planning on it next time we are in the area) I am wanting to try the buffalo chicken fries. THAT looks good!! And definitely getting another cheesecake. That was the highlight for sure. read more

I love their cheesecake! They definitely have very good food too! I would totally give them 5 stars, except for the fact that te food is extremely greasy. Other than that, it's just very delicious. Definitely a great spot to check out with friends for a quick lunch or with family for a nice outing. I strongly recommend the red velvet cheesecake. read more

Absolutely delicious! Will definitely be coming here again! If you love cheesesteaks, then this is a really good place. 10/10

I would have gave it more stars because I have had several good meals there. However when I took a friend there, he ordered a cheese steak with egg and when he asked for water they told him they had no cups available for that. Basically telling you buy a drink or nothing. He has vowed to never return there for making him feel low for asking for water even though he bought a 10 + dollar meal. That is a sad price to pay to lose a customer for life. When questioning the staff why he couldn't get a simple cup for water they said they didn't know "it was just a rule"... read more

Love the cheesecake here, I always come in for that but end up getting a Philly cheesesteak too. You have different flavors to pick from and you can sample before making your choice. Fair prices and good food options on top of the cheesecake. Good service, and nice spot to stop by for lunch or quick meal. read more

CYOC - Cheese steak - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Waukegan, Illinois

This was the GREATEST THING EVERRRR! I was debating whether or not to go to the Great Steak and Potato Company in the Gurnee Mills mall because I was craving a cheesesteak. Saw this on yelp, and I love sweets, so I was curious! I was expecting to just have a typical every day dinner with my boyfriend, but what I got was COMPLETELY unexpected!! They definitely know how to make loyal customers on the first go! It was a relaxed Sunday night near closing time and not extremely busy, so I can only assume they had some time to spend on us, but Josh and Katelyn were working, and were very patient with us. Josh was extremely excited to let us try whatever cheesecakes we wanted and explained almost everything on the menu for us. After my boyfriend got a delicious egg cheesesteak, I was a little disappointed with myself for not getting a full steak sandwich (my fault, I was curious to try the chicken so I ordered a mix of both, the "King") and I guess Josh overheard me. He offered to remake me a new The Works cheesesteak even though I had already eaten half of mine. Later on, he gave us their new nacho ranch cheese fries. It was delicious! And on top of all of it, he promised us free cheesecake when we first walked in for being first-time customers. I was greatly impressed with this place and not only was the service awesome (maybe I was lucky, but still!), but the philly cheesesteak was super fresh and delicious. I will DEFINITELY be coming back here and I hope you all check this place out! The environment is relaxed and seems like a great place for families, OR a chill place to hang out with friends. Loved it! read more

One time I thought I'd be the greatest friend ever and pick up food for my friend while she slaved away at work. When I asked for a suggestion, she slurred out "CYOC NOW!!!!" faster than I've ever heard her speak. What kind of food would elicit that kind of reaction from such a shy, docile being? Three words: cheese steak sandwiches. Now, I'm relatively sure that this is no typical Philly cheese steak kinda place but it has slowly become my guilty pleasure. The sandwiches are cooked right in front of you and there's an insane amount of combinations of meat, cheese, and toppings. When friend & I sat down for dinner, we didn't speak for a few minutes...only to make awkward eye contact over our nubs of our sandwiches. Yes, us ladies scarfed down those sandwiches like there was no tomorrow. Oh, and the cheesecake is the business too. Go get yourself the red velvet cheesecake, NOW. read more

I love this place. I have to admit when i get to Waukegan I always try to make it my first stop. The service is great, I've never had complaints but the food is what i go for. The steak and cheese is sooo mouth watering that I always wish i had two though 1 is more than enough. It's my go to cheese steak place and when I'm in Michigan i have dreams of it lol. Oh yea the cheesecake is a cute idea and they have some delicious flavors to choose from. I love this place i hope they open more of them. Can i suggest Detroit? ^_^ read more

This place is just fantastic. I always order a cheesesteak with provolone and banana peppers (cooked in) with fries. And I'm ALWAYS left completely sated but wanting more. The meat and cheese are high quality, the sauce they use on the meat is really tasty, and the fresh hot fries with their special seasoning covering them...omg! I just love this particular meal and I can't stress enough how delicious it is. Their cheesecakes are also very tasty as well but I'm usually so full I can't get any, haha. There have been a couple of occasions where we have visited JUST for the dessert, though, and I highly recommend the Reeses flavor! read more
