Try G's for the first time. I just wanted to try the basic sandwich first. I love the bread it was crispy and fresh. The steak is tender and no fatty pieces in my sandwich. I will go back and try a couple different sandwiches. My only complaint is I wish the sandwich was just bigger from the bread to the amount of meat they put it in it especially for the amount it costs. As you can see in the picture it wasn't overflowing with meat. Ok so I went a 2nd time and tried the south west sandwich. I did not really enjoy it. On straws were more like big chunks of onions and not the little thin crispy straws I was expecting. These sandwiches are just to small for my liking and there top dollar price tags. There website says a large is 13.99 but that is not the case. I paid 18 and change. read more

Very friendly staff who made me and my friends feel welcomed inside. The cheesesteaks were made fresh to order, which took a few minutes but was appreciated. I like that they have multiple cheese options including cheese whiz. The beef and cheese was piping hot and delicious. My only critique would be the bread. It was a little flat and flavorless, could be improved. Good counter serve spot with plenty of self seating. read more

The Chicken Bacon Ranch grinder with Chipotle Mayo was delicious! I appreciate how the cook asked me how the food was, even from behind the counter. The seating was comfortable, the bathroom was clean, and the vibes were amazing. 10/10 I would eat here again! read more

G's Steaks and Grinders - Half Chicken Bacon Ranch (Add Chipotle Mayo) - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Hartford, Connecticut

We both had cheese steaks. They were delicious! We only ordered the half size and that was more than enough for us. It was all so wholesome and fresh as the ribeye was cooked on demand. The only slight negative is, because it all cooked from scratch, you may need to wait a while longer to get it. read more

I really like a few things about the cheesesteaks at G's Steaks and Grinders. First, for the two times I've been, they haven't overcooked the steaks. Sounds simple? I can't even count the number of times I've watched a griller continue cooking a cheesesteak well past the time when it's done. Sometimes for five additional minutes. G's sliced ribeye steaks are cooked through and still somewhat soft, rather than coarse from overcooking. Probably because G's has nothing to hide. Advantage G's! Second, their steaks don't taste like everybody else's steaks. My six inch modified "G's Steak" had onions, peppers, mushrooms, banana peppers, mayo and American cheese. Each of the components was very good. And the steak had a nice, understated garlic flavor. I can't think of another steak in the area with that flavor profile. I respect that. Third, the bread is very good, and different than the bread other places use. If I recall correctly from my first visit, the bread is custom-sourced. It's medium crusty, and still soft underneath the outer crust. It has just the right amount of bread to contain the fillings, without taking over the show. I don't know if I'm prepared to declare an area cheesesteak winner yet, but I think G's is certainly in the mix. Even if you don't think you've been to G's, there's a good chance you have been. It's located where Lena's First and Last used to be on Park Road. Bet you had some slices there. I know I did. G's did a nice job making the location theirs. They've got cool Hartford and steak themed graffiti art on the outside. The inside has a minimalist vibe with several seats for dining in. I've found the service at G's to be welcoming and conscientious. I've noted a good deal of pride in the product and service when I go. I'd recommend G's if you like cheesesteaks. I assume they have some other stuff, but I've had blinders every time I'm there. 4.5 Stars, with a round up to 5 Stars read more

Is it the best cheesesteak ever? No but but but... The choices around Hartford are slim and kudos to Gs for laying down a marker and making a darn good cheesesteak. As someone who went to school in Philly, I love me a good cheesesteak. I got one with wiz, onions, peppers and mushrooms. Took a little while but made from scratch so no complaints. Ribeye is mostly delicious. A little (and I mean just a little) chewy in a bite or two. The cheese wiz was excellent! An understated piece of the dish is actually the bread. While it held up under the travel and didn't collapse under the sauce, it was a little one note for me. The bay fries recommended to me were far better than at first glance. I kept popping bite after bite in. The fries are fairly standard. Price for this goodness including a water? Over $20! That's where they lose me a little. It was very good but paying over $20? Hmmm. That said, service could not have been nicer and I see myself coming back for sure. Maybe some pizza sauce in the future? Looking forward to seeing them continue to develop. A winning formula and place for sure. read more

These guys make rich, excellent sandwiches and burgers. The royal Hartford burger was my favorite here. Burger with a medium done egg and three slices of cheese, that is heaven. Southwest steak sandwich was also excellent. They use riy eye to prepare it. That is the fattiest cut of meat. Sandwich comes out rich and oily. read more

From the minute you walk in this place feels like home. You get fast, attentive, accurate, and friendly service paired with high quality meat in an airy bread that has the slightest but most necessary crisp on the outside that helps the sandwich stay from falling apart from their far from shy filled ingredients. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a beautifully crafted, well cooked and nicely seasoned sandwich!! As the younger generation would say... "IT'S BUSSINN" lol. read more

Delicious!! Not only is the food on point, but the staff is nice and the place smells good. You know how you go into a restaurant and you can smell the food and you leave smelling like your meal, ya that doesn't happen here. For me that's a big deal, I don't about you, but I don't want to have to go home and shower after going out to eat. We got a 6in Black n Blue, a 12in 6am, regular and loaded fries. All cooked to order, and all of it very good. Definitely come back read more

Damn good. I was thrilled when I heard this place had opened up in the area formerly known as Lena's. I'm always looking for a good cheesesteak and G's delivers, big time. The place has been completely revamped and bears no resemblance to Lena's. It's super sleek and bright. I like the open kitchen and grill area too. I ordered two sandwiches to go over the phone. They were ready in 20 minutes. My wife had the G's Steak which comes with onions, peppers, mushrooms and American Cheese. I did a build your own sandwich (I'm not a fan of grilled bell pepper) and had one with steak, onions, mushrooms, Wiz and chipotle mayo. It truly fit the picture perfect definition of "steak bomb". We hummed little bursts of happiness while eating our lunch. I tried hers too (peppers be damned) and it was delicious and far less messy than mine. The steak was plentiful and most important to me, not fatty. The bun was a fair match to a beasty sandwich, not too soft, not too hard-just right. I'm guessing the guy who was working the grill when I arrived is "G". He was very warm and friendly. He was enthusiastic as heck too and said he wants this place to be "what Hartford is all about". The gal who took my order over the phone and gave me the goods when I arrived was equally friendly. Nice peeps. I often close my positive reviews with the phrase, "I'll be back" and this place is no exception. If they don't change anything, this place will be very successful. While there aren't many Yelp reviews at this time, give it a few weeks. It's blowing up on another website that rhymes with boogle. read more

I want to love this place but despite trying it fifteen times over the last few years I've come to the point of giving up on it. I recommend you try it for yourself. They offer pretty good grinders with steak. That's right....To call them Philly style cheesesteaks is a little misleading. I know we could argue about this all day, but despite the food being pretty good it is the service that makes the food taste worse than it really is. What really ended it for me was the nickle and diming by the owner and the poor, and even sometimes strange service you get. There is definitely a disconnect with the people expediting the food and the ones taking the orders/selling it. Go find out for yourself though, you might enjoy the experience and the food. Attempt to alter your order in any way and you will undoubtedly see what I mean. Prepare to pay $15-$20 per person and stick to the menu and you should be ok. Good luck. read more

This place has been on my yelp to-try list for a long while. So we were in west hartford running errands and decided let's stop here on the way back to East Hartford. We strolled in around 7:30ish and we're enthusiastically greeted by Mike G. Himself from behind the counter holding one of his kids while another one of his kids was sitting behind the counter. Mike was very eager to answer any questions on the menu and we were talking about the crab fries as the mother of the kids came out to get them home (I'm assuming she was the mom lol). She also chimes in about the fries and it gave the whole place a bobs burgers vibe which I loved! A guy making simple, great quality food, enjoying what he does, with the kiddos around! No lie I wanted one of everything on the menu I was so hungry. Mike also mentioned the churros for dessert, regular and Bavarian crime filled. Ummmm yes of course I want those too! Truth be told I'm a big guy so upselling me on the churros wasn't a hard sell . I had the original cheesesteak, fries and a fountain soda while my other half had the chicken bacon ranch sammich with fries and a fountain soda. I don't know what kind of sub/hogie/grinder roll they use but it was really good. I think they might slather some oil or butter on it and warm it up because it was perfectly melded with the sand which filling making it one whole experience. I know it sounds crazy but that made a big difference in the quality of the sandwich. The chicken bacon ranch was amazing according to reports from my other half. He just sat there next to me ( we sat at the counter which was great) devouring his dinner. Here is where I was impressed; when he placed the containers with the fries in front of us I immediately noticed the lids have poked holes in them so the fries don't get soggy from the steam! I've never understood why more places don't do this! The fries are still hot just not soggy! This guy gets it!!!! While waiting for our food we had great conversation from Mike and his friend (I didn't catch his name) that was manning the grill. I wanted to order a second sandwich because I was so hungry and sitting there reading the menu made me want the southwest steak next but I didn't. My husband said there's always next time. Great sandwiches, great people, come check them out and support a small business owner!! We're gonna make this place a regular part of our meal rotation. read more

Outstanding steak and cheese sandwich. On the pricy side but well worth it. I had the G's steak, steak cheeses grilled onions mushrooms peppers. Excellent. Will certainly return. Would highly recommend. read more

Overpriced meat paste. Do not waste your money. Inefficiently slow. They even refused to add salt to my sandwich. We ordered 2 sandwiches, order 12" meat in a 6" bread. The quantity of meat was anemic, like a meat buttered bread at 14$. I don't mind paying, but I would expect to get somethings or what I paid On top of it, there are locals trying to sell you knockoff clothes. I like gruff and edge - but get that under control read more

Best Cheesesteaks I've Ever Had. Highly recommend everyone who enjoys cheesesteaks to come here and try one. His ingredients are fresh and his steak is 100% Rib Eye Steak, never frozen. The bread he uses is indescribably soft, fresh with a slight crunch. Also try a Churro stuffed with Bavarian cream. G's Steaks is a treasure. I wish he had a Restaurant in my city. Keep up the great work Mike. read more

It's always nice to walk in to a friendly face, good conversation and laughter. They even remember our orders and go above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. Another nice thing is that they will customize your order and allow room to mix and match new pairings. I highly recommend the churros and cookies! It's a great experience each and every time we visit. Absolutely love G's! read more

You know - for CT philly cheesesteak?.....not bad. The consistency of the bread is a little off (a little too much crust) and they could have a couple more toppings, but its a pretty durn good cheese steak. Nice fresh steak, good meltiness - tasty!!! Fries were not so amazing (oil was not hot enough - soggy fries) but hey - its a cheese steak place. Would definitely go back read more
