    Definitely on the higher end of the cheesesteaks you can get in nj/nyc. Is it one of the best definitely not but it's pretty dam good. And it's perfectly sized, not some overwhelming glib like most places. Lastly eating the sandwich with the sweet peppers is a must! Crispy bread seasoned meat not over done with cheese. Very good sandwich, worth trying

    Danny & Coop's is a renowned takeout-only cheesesteak spot in NYC's East Village, co-owned by actor Bradley Cooper and Angelo from Philadelphia, who also owns Angelo's Pizzeria. It's famous for its authentic Philly-style cheesesteaks featuring thinly sliced ribeye, Cooper Sharp cheese, and griddled onions on a seeded roll. The menu is straightforward, centered on the cheesesteak, with options for sweet or hot peppers, and drinks like Boylan's Root Beer. I've had Danny & Coop's bookmarked for a while, and when I finally visited, the place was bustling. Despite the tight space, the experience is absolutely worth it. When I arrived, there was no line, so I ordered quickly. They sent me a text when my order was ready, which took about fifteen minutes. The cheesesteak was outstanding. At first glance, I thought the bread might be hard, but it was perfectly soft and, without doubt, the ideal bread for a cheesesteak. The seeds added an earthy, nutty flavor. The beef had a deep, rich flavor, emphasizing high-quality ingredients. The rib-eye meat was exceptional, and although the Cooper Sharp cheese and bread were excellent, the rib-eye truly stole the show. The cheese was flavorful but not overpowering. The onions added great texture, and the sweet peppers brought a pleasant acidity that enhanced every bite. The sandwich costs twenty-five dollars but is definitely shareable. Though I haven't tried many cheesesteaks in New York, this is the best I've ever had. Customer service was excellent, and the cheesesteak was simply outstanding. I would gladly travel from Connecticut again to enjoy Danny & Coop's.

    The sandwich is pretty good. The meat is tender, the onions are cooked well, and the cheese is nicely melted. That said, for $24.50, it should definitely be bigger. The portion is decent, but the price just doesn't match the size. It's tasty, but I'd expect more meat and an overall larger sandwich at that price.

    I really didn't think the sandwich would be as good as it was but wow was I wrong. My friend and I split one with everything on it and I was regretting not getting my own by the end! Came mid day on a Saturday and there was only about 5 people in line. There are spots inside to stand and eat around the perimeter of the restaurant, and if you're looking to sit there's a park right across the street. Already looking forward to the next visit!

    Delicious!!  Two people can enjoy one huge Cheesesteak. Got sweet peppers on side (+.75) (4.10.26)

    YES!!!!! My first visit, finally. April 10, 2026. Do one thing, and do it well!! And Danny & Coop's does--THEY DO CHEESESTEAK VERY WELL!!! No decisions to make, this is the one item on the menu. You do have the option to get a side of SWEET OR HOT PEPPERS, for 75 cents. These are in a small container, you may ask for a fork. I did. I got the sweet peppers. Enjoyed them. If you like sweet gherkins, you'll enjoy the sweet peppers! It was Friday, about 4pm, I walked right in, saw some people waiting for their orders, and I went directly to the front counter to order. That's the only counter to order at. :). Tyler was at the register. Service with a smile. Thank you patient Tyler at the register. I was lucky you were there! LOL. I thought I was totally prepared with cash, to be quick when ordering, but alas, what I "knew" to be a $20 bill in my little zip wallet, was a $5. Have you noticed this happening in your Wallet? LOL. The $20 bill turns into a $5. So, I knew I had more $5's. I just had to get them out. And, I am grateful for Tyler, Mr Cool at the register. Thank you for your patience and kindness. I'm also grateful the 2 people behind me were nice too. I also want to thank the nice person who brought out several orders, one of which was mine. Great friendly, helpful service. You have the option to get a text msg when your order is ready. Nice feature. Since it was nice outside, I decided to walk across the street to the large park, and sit on a bench to enjoy my Cheesesteak. There is a bench in front of Danny & Coop's but 3 women were enjoying a Cheesesteak. They were sharing one cheesesteak. And it is HUGE!! So, those were still nice portions from one Danny & Coop's Cheesesteak. Next time I'll try to bring a friend, because I still have half of my Cheesesteak left. But, by the time I get home, I bet I'll be able to finish it. So, YES, you should enjoy a huge cheesesteak here!! See my photos. My huge delicious cheesesteak was about $25.31, including my side of sweet peppers. I put some $ in the tip jar. I did not get a beverage. But, YOU can. Enjoy!

    Bradley Cooper has a cheesesteak joint that people were lining up around the block for when it first opened? Say less! Had to try one of my favorite actor's spot. I went for the first time last year. Was there fairly close to opening time so the line wasn't insane. Ordered the cheesesteak with sweet peppers on the side. Pro tip: get your drink at the deli next door and eat at the park across the street. Fantastic sandwich. Generous with the meat and perfect bread. Was basically 2 meals for me. Went back my second time last week and price went from $18.50 to $24.50. Heard cashier said due to price increase of meat. I get it but that's quite a huge jump. Plus they now charge for the sweet peppers which sucks. Good thing the sandwich doesn't need it. I'd still get it if I was in the mood for it. Hopefully it's not $30 next time I go. Highly recommend.

    Came on a Tuesday at around 1. No line to order, but took around 15 mins to get the sandwich. Thought it was very yummy and that the bread was especially good! Also big enough to share.

    Absolute fire cheesesteak so so massive it was spilling out when youd eat it. Got the hot peppers too which definitely made it so much better but it was great on its own regardless. Loved the bread a lot.

    The service was pretty good they let me order early . The cheese had good flavor, but I wasn't a fan of the type of cheese they used. Overall this is an open New York sandwich spot that encourages open setting communication

    Danny & Coop's serves the absolute best cheesesteak I've ever had. The steak was perfectly cooked, the cheese was incredible, and every bite lived up to the hype. This has officially become a must-stop spot whenever I visit New York. If you're looking for an authentic, unforgettable cheesesteak, this is the place. Can't wait to come back!

    Very solid cheesesteak with an awesome vibe inside. Service was excellent and the cheesesteak itself had the perfect crisp from their toasted sesame roll and a generous amount of meat. It was a little overpowering with cheese but still solid.

    I went to Danny & Coop's for dinner, and it was fantastic! Definitely worth the hype and surpassed my expectations. Inside is cozy with ledges on the side to eat at, and service was very fast. I got my cheesesteak in five minutes and was excited to chow down! It was perfection. Not too cheesy, not greasy at all, meat perfectly tender. One of my best bites in the city!

    Too loud, too long a wait, too much $30 for a sandwich and a coke is little much. Maybe offer a smaller option? It was really good though

The platter comes with perfectly seasoned chicken over rice, along with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. I got the famous white sauce and hot sauce on the side so I could add as much as I wanted, and both took the dish to the next level. The chicken was flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the rice. The portion was generous and incredibly filling, making it an excellent value. Everything tasted fresh, and I honestly enjoyed every bite. That said, it was so good I could probably eat two platters! The line was long, but don't let that discourage you it moved steadily and was absolutely worth the wait.

Since this is a NYC staple and it's been so long, I knew I had to come again this trip. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap as well as a beef platter. I thought the wrap was very good. Very saucy, and tasty, however, I just found the platter to be a bit bland. It almost felt like it was missing something. Also I think the portion sizes definitely got smaller. Overall it was a solid meal. I don't think I'll be rushing to come back, but I'm glad I was able to experience it again.

Half the spots nearby had already shut down or had lines I wasn't about to stand in, and this truck was right there, lit up and moving fast. Got the two-meat combo over rice. The guys inside don't waste time. I had my plate in a few minutes even with a couple people ahead of me. Chicken and beef both came out hot, and the rice underneath was fresh and fluffy. Ask for the extra spicy red if you want to suffer a little. Portions are big for the price. I walked away full and happy. Fries are the one thing I'd skip (they go soft quick), but with the meat and sauces all over the plate I didn't care. If you're out late and everything else is closed, this is the move. They open at 7:30 and stay open well into the night, which is exactly when you want them. I'll be back the next time I'm wandering around starving after midnight.

We got the white, green and hot sauce. The 2 meat combo was very tasty...even though we ate it 2 days later. I'd say this tasted much better than the other popular spots in the city. Will definitely come back in a few days to try their falafel too.

    The Best Food Truck in NYC -- Period…read more I've eaten at countless restaurants in New York City, but nothing -- and I mean nothing -- comes close to Steak Freak, the little black food truck parked on the corner of 6th Avenue and West 50th Street. I stumbled upon it around lunchtime and saw a long line stretching down the block. Normally, that would be a deterrent -- but I quickly realized everyone was there for a reason. The line moves surprisingly fast (these guys have it down to a science), and it's absolutely worth the wait. I ordered the Steak Basil on Rice and the Kimchi Sesame Steak on Rice, and both dishes were mind-blowingly good. The steak was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and the sauces had that perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and umami that makes you close your eyes after every bite. The rice was fluffy and soaked up every drop of flavor. You can tell Dorjee, the owner, takes real pride in what he serves. He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet -- greeting regulars by name, joking with the crowd, and hustling behind the grill like a pro. Pro tip: Get there early. They sell out by 2 PM every single day, and once the steak is gone, it's gone.

I ordered the Doi Fuchka ($7), which comes as crispy, hollow puri shells stuffed with a savory mashed potato and chickpea mixture. The difference in the doi is that it is topped with a yogurt to balance the spice for a creamier texture. I liked this a lot, especially with the tamarind sauce too (though this got a bit messy). This is nothing like I've ever tasted with so many different textures going on. It hits you with spicy, sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy, chewy and everything all at once. It comes with 8 pieces, which is perfect to share with 2-3 people. Definitely something to check out!
