We had to wait 37 minutes to get two cheesesteaks and two orders of fries. The guy behind the counter was talking on the phone from the minute we walked in. When he handed us the order and was acting like we were an inconvenience being there. Then comes the food...bland and my cheesesteak didn't have cheese lol. For it to be a true cheesesteak do I really have to order extra, extra cheese to get cheese on my cheesesteak? Did I mention that it was $67 for two coke zeros, two fries and two cheesesteaks with some extras? If they had cameras in there for their kitchen, they would immediately find new help to help their restaurant and their brand. read more

Mid. It is not bad and not the best. Ordered togo and waited over 30min for 2 sandwiches. read more

Had the Original Philly Cheesesteak sandwich the other night and, while it was good, it definitely didn't compare with the memory I had of the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich I had in Philly! Maybe it's unfair since it's been years since I had it in Philly, but I remember how delicious it was when I had it and Jake's just didn't measure up; I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to visit Jake's, but if I was in the neighborhood and was really hungry, I would probably stop by again. The guy at the counter was really accommodating and helpful in bringing water to the table, clearing the empty baskets, and bringing boxes for leftovers, so that's definitely a point in their favor. There were others at my table who ordered the mushroom cheese steak with spinach and one without the bun and both those looked really good. Another person ordered the cheesesteak salad. Everyone else seemed to really enjoy their food, so maybe I'll try something different if I went again. read more

Killer phillys. Even for my veggie spouse. Nice local small business. Speedy service.

We came in tonight after the 49ers game. TVs are outside with different news wrap ups of the game but the volume was on. It's tvs. There were several flies circling on the sidewalk. But... The sandwiches were really good. I got the veggie and the cashier asked if I wanted garlic and spinach and yes, I did. We also had the original cheesesteak. Both filled and dense. Delicious. We shared the curly fries. read more

Solid cheesesteak. Simple combo of chopped steak, white American cheese, grilled onions, and sweet peppers on a fresh roll. Everything combines really well and is served piping hot. Highly recommend! read more

One of my favorite cheesesteak joints in the city! The owners are super friendly and always accommodating. They have a nice selection of beers and it's definitely a fun time when footballs on (if you're an eagles fan and you don't know about this place, you MUST check Jakes Steaks out!) They PACK their cheesesteaks with meat. My go to is the mushroom. I tried their cheesesteak eggroll and it instantly became a favorite (I believe it's currently a special - but if you see the sign up that they have it you gotta try it out) I came during an eagles game so the house was packed and it was really fun to experience the energy from all the fans. They also have a Mission Location which is just as good :) read more

online order said it would be ready in 25 mins. I arrived at the designated time. I waited over 50 mins for 3 sandwiches on Tuesday June 9 at lunch time. They should have more workers it looks like they only have one worker. They need to hire more people. read more

Great food horrible customer service. Guy inside kitchen has no customer service skills at all. Place is empty and he has no urgency to start orders. We've been seating here for 20 plus mins and he barely started cooking our cheesesteaks. He's on the phone the whole time and it's very rude!!! read more

Philly native- I used to LOVE this place. The last two orders (a cheesesteak and the turkey bacon ranch hoagie- the bread was stale (the main reason I go here!) the steak was bland and the turkey barely had any turkey. Such a shame to see this place go downhill so quickly. Won't be going back- anyone have other ideas on where to fine a good hoagie?? read more

Jake's is still doing it. Very good cheesesteak still. Fried mushrooms absolutely terrible. Hotdog traditional. If you want a cheesesteak this will get the job done. read more

$30 for 1 sandwich. Lack of flavor. Customer service mid. Would not go back. 20.99 for sandwich. Had to add toppings. Did not come with any toppings besides onion. Added 4 toppings totaling to $30. Not worth it unfortunately. read more

I've been defending this place to friends for years, but I'm going to stop doing that. Recently, I bought a Cheesesteak here and it simply was not good. I'm a Philly native and, when Jake Gillis opened the store over 20 years ago, I became one of the regular customers. In 2005, it was so good! In 2026, I'm sorry to have to say, it is far less so. The roll was a little stale and had been toasted slightly (possibly in an attempt to improve the stale taste); toasting the roll absolutely wrecked its texture. The meat was not seasoned very well. The cheese tasted like it had been somehow 'watered down' (maybe this was due to water in the peppers and can be forgiven). Altogether, sandwiches like this one must be why my friends had been saying they've stopped going to Jake's. I've kept going back, time and time again; some sandwiches were _good_, some were _okay_, but none of the cheesesteaks I've bought here left me as disappointed as this last one. In the future, I'll be going elsewhere. If I hear they've improved and are consistently good again, I'll be happy to return. This review was neither fun for me to write nor easy for me to post, but I felt compelled to share my experience. read more

Ordered Togo in person. This was a few weeks back. I think they were about to close so the enthusiasm was low. Cheesesteak sandwich was tasty but the dude forget my peppers I ask for. I'll order a pick next time and check the order before I leave. Three stars is A-OK read more

my favorite and closet to the original Philly cheese steak in san francisco! coming from Philly I've search long for a cheesesteak that is as good as the ones back home and this place takes the cake! they use the amarosa rolls and cheese Wiz just how I like! if you want a real Philly cheesesteak this is the spot! read more

The place is located on a small but crowded street. Parking can be a challenge, as the Moscone Softball Fields are close by. This was my first time at Jake's. Friendly service. Bar service available. Multiple TV screens showing professional sports. 12" Original Philly Cheesesteak: Go traditional " Whiz wit" (This means cheese Whiz, with onions. Good sized sandwich. They did not skimp on the meat, which was compactly chopped up and seasoned well. The Amoroso bread was soft yet firm. I am not a Philly cheesesteak expert, but I thought this was pretty good and delicious. Yelp Check-in and get a free soda. read more

There's one guy working here during the lunch hour. Ordered through the kiosk and have been waiting 45 minutes for a freakin' cheesesteak. Ask if it's coming and says it'll be another 15-20 minutes: I think later online orders are somehow being prioritized over my order. Guy says he doesn't know how to refund me when I asked. I don't have time for this. I've been to Jake's elsewhere a few times before but I'll never come back to this location again. read more

Ordered spinach mushroom cheese steak. Tastes really good. Fresh ingredients! I love the bread too. I will be back! read more

IMSRO, the best cheesesteak in SF. The kitchen is not fast. And the indoor ambiance is not existent. But order the basic cheesesteak, order with peppers, sit outside if it's a nice day. And enjoy a delicious sandwich. Worth the wait. read more

Jake's Steaks - Not a pretty picture, but damn fine sandwich: Original Philly Cheesesteak - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Got the 12" and it looked loaded with steak but somehow felt a little light, and I'm not a big guy. But still it's delicious with the whiz and the bread was toasty and airy. For all I know this is exactly how it is in Philly, but I've had other cheesesteaks that had thicker meat, more onions, and was more filling. And it's Eagles country here so must've been a blast last month and during the season. read more

Always great food and great service. Friendly staff. Best cheesesteaks in San Francisco. I travel all the way from San Rafael just to pick one up. read more

Before the Eagles beat the 49ers in the NFC Championship game, SFGate published an article about this Philly sports bar on a residential side street of the Marina. My college friend and I knew we had to go there to watch the Super Bowl (though they have another location on Valencia.) We have a soft spot for Philly after going to college there. Jake's is a mood, a vibe, and makes you feel like visiting Philly. It's a slice of Philly in SF and I can't imagine a better place to watch the Super Bowl. People got there when they opened to get indoor seats, and at 11:30am for a 3:30pm game to get outdoor seating. Some people also brought their own fold-up sports chairs for the occasion. I've never seen so much Philly or Eagles gear in SF, and people came from all over the Bay Area to watch the game there. The current owner, Jr., now goes by Jake. He was the best host. They prepped green jello shots for the occasion and provided great beer like Liberty Ale. The indoor decor pays an homage to Philly sports, not just the Eagles. The inside wall includes a large image of the Schuylkill River. Of course, the cheesesteaks were perfect. My college friend said it's the best one he's had since leaving Philly. They have a nice delivery business going, but the main reason you go here is for the community and the people. And Jake. read more

Here for my daughter's softball playoffs checking out the Eagles vs Vikings. Jakes is a Philadelphia fan hang out and they had big screen TVs, speakers, tables and air horns going off during game. We were there to grab a small protein snack and ordered the cheesesteak with mushrooms. It was good, gooey and cheesy. The 12" cheesesteak and a Diet Coke is $20. Good deals on beer. Limited service order at the register. Street parking only. read more

It was ok, the steaks were kinda dry, peppers were ok, cheese became hard as the sandwich got colder. Decent, but not "out of the way" Great. read more

Cheesesteak was quite average for it being a "Philly Cheesesteak". It costs extra for peppers which I thought was silly and the regular fries tasted better than the garlic ones. Maybe they just need more salt or something. Cashier guy is very talkative, not a good or bad thing i guess. $21 for a large cheesesteak-but pricey in my opinion. Good vibes inside restaurant with a known Philadelphia Eagles Fan atmosphere. read more

Takes about 20 minutes to get a cheesesteaks despite nobody in line. So you must order well In advance read more

Ordered through Postmates and our food came warm! Rating this place 4 stars because they got our order wrong, but the food that came was still good. Originally, I ordered the original cheesesteak, mozzarella sticks, curly fries and onion rings but instead of the original cheesesteak and mozzarella sticks, I received the Pepperoni Cheesesteak and jalapeño poppers. The sides were really good! Typical bar food, but all the fried stuff was perfectly fried and was good quality. The pepperoni cheesesteak had a lot of meat. 8 inches is more than enough for one person. 12 inches would've been way too much meat for me. I liked the crisp of the pepperoni and the meat was juicy. read more

Picked up a Philly Cheesesteak yesterday and it SLAPPED. The staff was incredibly kind, offered me a free beer (or soda if I didn't drink beer), and they hook up the portions here. Best Philly Cheesesteak in the Bay Area and it's not even close. Great place for catching any sports events too read more

Delicious. We stop here every time we are in the Marina District. Service is excellent and the atmosphere is welcoming.

Solid cheesesteak. If you are in the mood for a good cheesesteak in the area check this place out.

We seen Jake's passing by headed to the fields by Bay St to play with the dogs. Later when we got back home my girl was craving cheese steak. I went online to Jake's website and the pictures did not excite me, the majority of the reviews spoke more to Eagle fans vs the food itself. Yelp convinced me to order. The classic Philly was what I went with and expecting. Seemed to be of decent size, bread soft, good amount of wiz not too much or too dry. I opted for curly fries vs crisscut. I was very pleased considering my initial hesitation. read more
