    This local staple was has been around for around 30 years. I see why because they have one of the best pepper steak I've ever had!

    First off they don't sell pizza. It's just subs. I got a pepper steak sub and it was just ok. Nothing spectacular.

    I was hungry for a cheesesteak and was curious about this place. Based on the previous reviews I…read morethought it was worth a try. I was also intrigued about the cheesesteak egg rolls. I hate to say it but I didn't like it. I ordered a cheesesteak and a chicken cheesesteak egg roll. My biggest complaint with both was the meat was chopped way too fine for me. I'm use to big slices of steak and chicken in my cheesesteaks. The sub roll was also not substantial enough to stay intact when I bit into it. It just fell apart. I will try this place again when I'm visiting the area because like I said earlier others thought it was great. I'll also go earlier next time because I overheard the cook say while I was waiting, "here comes the end of the night rush." They had some good foot traffic.

    Let's get into it! This Cheesesteak Cafe is a "Mom and Pops Joint" located at Peninsula Town…read moreCenter. It serves Philly-style cheesesteaks, samplers, egg rolls, exceptional customer service, and some of the Best Wings I have had in the area! The restaurant is relatively small and gloomy, with enough seating to hold about 20 people for dine-in; however, this place is not a dine-in but a takeout place. I like that they put their full menu online, unlike other places that only put limited items. Service is outstanding; my first time calling in an order, the server not only told me how long it would be. Also, on this occasion, after calling in my order and completing the call, the server realized there was something that they did not have at the time. So she took the time to call and let us know and offered us something else. It was honorable in my eyes that she did that. Lastly, when I arrived, she double-checked to ensure my order was correct before I left the store. I had a cheesesteak, and my wife had the same. They were served hot, cheese melted all the way, and tasted terrific; the only problem was they were light with the meat. This is a very unique menu. They have sampler platters that can feed an army or combo platters that can feed two, and the price is right. You can mix and match them or have the pre-selected item. Now, let me talk about these wings. AMAZING! Fried to perfection, seasoned with a wet or dry rub, plain or on the side. These are cooked to order, so if you get wings to go, they are still hot when you get home. These wings are excellent, and you get them whole or halved. The wings are a must-try; they are some of the best in the area! I recommend you call ahead, but if you don't, there is a seating area where you can wait. I will be back! Happy Yelping!

    It has honestly been ages since I've been here. I remember this place when I used to work in…read moreNorfolk. We'd always come out here and just destroy the deliciousness of the cheesesteaks. Me and my buddy are on a cheesesteak kick to find the best in the area. How did this fare? VERY delicious. The steak and seasoning were SPOT on awesome. The level of cheese and steak were just perfection. I had flashbacks of eating this cheesesteak and made the mistake of going somewhere close by for another... talk about a huge letdown. Had some fries as well on top of that and yep... awesome seasoning for them as well. When it comes to Cheesesteaks - this place is a solid 4.8... why the .2 less? The only thing that could make this perfect would be the bread. if they toasted it or changed it to make it that super crusty bread, these would probably be the best without even thinking. Overall, will be back and totally a must-visit. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 4 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 4 Ambiance: Very open kind of a dive with memorabilia on the walls of philly. Repeat customer: yeah Dog Friendly: no

    I visited one Monday evening between 6-7:30. It wasn't overly busy but multiple people popped in…read morewhen I did. I had never been here so I asked another customer what to get and she said "everything is good". I ordered a 12-in cheese steak with sweet peppers, fries and a bottled drink. I was shocked that the bill was $24 (14 for the sandwich, 7 for fries & drink). I ate a few fries on the drive home and they were good. I got a watermelon crush which I had never seen before and enjoyed it. I have mixed feelings about the cheesesteak. It didn't feel like enough cheese and the bread was pretty soggy. I think I will come back to try their pizza or non-cheesesteak sandwiches/wraps but we'll see!

It has a modern diner type of vibe to it. Over the years the food and service here has been good. I come here when I want a hoagie and fries. As I walked in, I was greeted by the waitress and immediately seated myself. The menu was readily available in a shelf on the wall next to my table. As soon as I sat down, the waitress was ready to take my order. I had a craving for a sandwich. I ordered a large cold corned beef hoagie with lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, mustard and mayo. I added a side of fries also. The beef is put on top of the toppings so the hoagie at first glance looks like its missing toppings. (See picture) Unsweet tea and water were my drinks. As I waited for my food I watched college basketball on the television screen in the back of the room. Eventually, the food arrived within ten minutes. The fries were hot and the hoagie was fresh. The hoagie and fries were so good I ordered and ate another hoagie. In addition to this the waitress ensured I had plenty to drink. At the end of the meal, my craving was satisfied. I was happy and full. I will be back definitely.

So we pulled up yelp and found fat Phillies. This is what I would call a classic Bodega/hood joint (They have all the flavors of Rap Snacks) that does a great job of serving up a good variety of sandwiches and sides at an affordable price. Now this establishment is housed inside of a convenient store in a strip mall that also has a Chinese food place and a couple of other establishments. This is a typical convenient store with groceries drinks and a couple of casino machines at the other end of the building. We pulled up to the counter as they were shutting down, so unfortunately, the wings weren't available. So we decided to go with the standard Philly cheesesteak, and fries. Sandwiches were ready in about 10 minutes and they were cooked to order. Both of us were very satisfied with the sandwiches. Mine did have a little bit of grissel and tougher meat, but not necessarily something I didn't expect given the price. Overall, this is definitely a place I would likely stop through every now and then just to grab some sandwiches and other items that I can't find in a Whole Foods.

    What an interesting place. I'm kind of a cheese steak nerd so some of my review may be a bit biased…read moreas I've had LOTS of different styles over the years. One thing to note is that this place is technically "The Cheesesteak Shop"... you'll see it on the menu when you come in. Rick's is a staple of a name in the Hampton Roads area. Rick's is a name that is synonymous with great Cheese Steak and if you visit them all you'll notice differences in the recipes/flavor amongst them. We were at the one in Williamsburg one week, then went directly to this one the next week later. This one, the meat is slightly more seasoned with pepper or something with a mild heat. Nothing crazy, just noticeable. The bread was a little wet and I really would've preferred it being more toasted. Overall, it was an 'ok' cheese steak. I was going to rate this a 3 but overall I give it a 4 b/c the service was friendly enough to warrant the boost. Food Taste: 3.5 Overall Service: 4 Value of service to cost: 4.5 Facility: 3 Ambiance: A converted bar that serves cheesesteaks. Repeat customer: maybe-ish Dog Friendly: no
