Jake's Steaks - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Again I tried to give this place another try.... Bad experience. Today I came and ordered the cheesesteak special & a regular Philly whiz cheese sandwich with fries. The whole order was $40... which is pretty high now and a bit understandable. Also PS they charge .75 cents for sauces!!! Each! Anyways the situation was that I asked the employee to please remind me of my order for any confusion and the employee said to me "just look at the screen." I didn't appreciate the attitude. On top of this, I get my order and the onions/cheesesteak was overflowing the bread in the sandwich and was hard to enjoy. I also didn't feel comfortable telling the employee the way the food was because of the attitude too. Bad service honestly. Sorry but had to share this experience to warn others. read more

Here is the problem. Prices ridiculous expensive for the quality. The cheeses are liquid cheeses of bad quality. Not real cheeses. Everyone in my group had the runs for the next 24 hours. This was not a good experience at all. Do you want to be sick? Try it. read more

Ordered a chicken Philly, curly fries and cheese sticks. Chicken wasn't well seasoned at all, not enough cheese or salt. Curly fries were whatever. Mozzarella sticks were seasoned well. Customer was really good tho. Bathroom kind of suspect lol. Sorry read more

Horrible customer service. We expressed how it was our first time there and had some questions. I've never been to any restaurant that is COMPLETELY UNABLE to do onions on the side. When I asked the cashier, he stated that he has worked since 2015 and no one has ever asked for onions on the side, YET his boss told him that they are NOT able to do onions on the side. Strange that it's a rule and no one in 10 Years has asked for this magical mythical request. Also mayo is extra?! In what world?! His demeanor and sassy passive aggressiveness caused us to head over to Ly's Vietnamese where we were treated with the BEST customer service and had some amazing food! So thank you for being a kcid read more

Amazing cheesesteak, and the service was great. Great vibe with the sports playing, and the staff were super nice as well

Ordered 8 inches and got 12. Not a bad start. Sando lives up to the hype. Will be back. They even offer cheese whiz. read more

I have been here a few times. This place never fails. I got the original Philly and my wife got a chicken sandwich. Both were great. Philly wit wiz - taste just like the better cheesesteaks in Philadelphia. The only critique would be about the waffle fries. I wish they had steak fries. The curly fries were fantastic. read more

Good food and good cheesesteaks. Good service when dining in but pickup is also fast and easy if you need to run.

Sandwich was good, we order garden salad to go and they didn't put olives as it should be. Not friendly.

Couple of dudes hanging out at the bar enjoying a beer (sept 5), door open , Yelp says open for another hour until 11:00 on a Thursday. "We're closed! ". I guess only the employees are allowed to eat and drink until closing time!! It was the cook who just didn't want to serve me. read more

Fantastic Cheesesteak- best I've ever had. The vibe in there is awesome, and the staff couldn't be any nicer. 10/10 recommend.

This establishment is not ready to receive diners, I waited about 3 minutes for someone to come to the register, when they finally came they took my order in a rush, the atmosphere felt like they had things more important things to do than to give a good costumer service, at least the sandwich was good read more

As a self proclaimed CS aficiando, Jake's wins in SF. I went on Reddit and so many ppl claimed cheesteak shop or busters... both are no where near as good... everything from Jake's is the bomb... and probably the best buffalo sauce on wings in the city too. read more

Loved the food. They did not skimp on anything. And their Club Salad was amazingly tasty. Will visit again!

Looks like a good place - nice ambience, a little bar area, a tv. I called with an order and stopped in, no one was there but it was lunch time so maybe dinner is a better time to go. I ordered a chicken cheese steak with onions. The guy at the register acted annoyed by nothing to do with me. He was efficient enough, I took a couple pictures and checked in and an offer for a free soda came up, I placed my phone on the counter so he could see it and pulled a couple bucks out for tip, he sees it, ignores it as I put in the cash, he hands me my bag so I mention 'hey, mind if I cash in on this soda" - oh yeah grab one out of the cooler." - cool, thank you. I look in the bag, a sandwich and fries that you pay separately for - no napkins, ketchup, salt, - well just fries and the sandwich. May I have some napkins please - peels one napkin off haha, ok how about 2 more of those and a few ketchup packets, gives me 2 napkins and then tries to hand me 23 ketchup packets. Ok. Later - Fries are ok, slightly undercooked and need salt. The sandwich looked like chicken breast squares you buy in a can - very dry, and the cheese sauce tasted nothing like cheese. I'm from Pittsburgh, Pa where they make great Cheese Steak sandwiches, not Philly, where they talk about making them. This is a no go for me - the sandwich was horrible, I threw 3/4 of it away. And the customer service is geared more towards masochists - not for me. read more

A steady favorite of mine for years. Their new location, well of a few years now, had some growing pains, but now everything is on point. Food was delicious, made fast and everyone was really fun and friendly. Just what I needed after a long day. Thanks guys read more

Awesome service and a great steak sandwich. Not a big place and a lot of carry out orders while i was there.

Great customer service, the most hospitable place you'll find in the city. The cheesesteak hits right and the place is comfy. Come on by.

Place: it was so tiny and didn't look the most sanitary, but it was okay I guess. Not the best place for a large group though. Service: standard. Food: okay, here you go. I ordered a 8" cheesesteak plus large garlic waffle fries. Although the cheesesteak was fine, the waffle fries were soooooo bad!!!! They came to us cold! Not even warm!!! The garlic topping was fine, but the fries were just too amazingly bad to make this whole thing edible. Overall: I wouldn't go back. Sorry. read more

Jake's Steaks - 8" cheesesteak plus large garlic waffle fries. - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place is alright. Very pricey though for a sub. My large cheese steak and garlic fries cost about $26. Garlic fries is more on the over cooked side, so it's super crunchy-hard. The cheese steak is really spicy. Although I liked it, the friends I was sharing it with couldn't bare it. The cashier is really friendly and talkative. They accept Yelp check-in perks, (free soda). Has indoor and outdoor seating. Sauces cost extra. To go cost extra. read more

Had a craving today for a meat sandwich , my choice , the Original Steak ! I have been here once before , but wanted to make sure my experience had not been a fluke. 1st the meat is top notch , and plentiful (btw I order a 12" , yea my option also on Grinder). Cheese being Provolone , being from North Jersey, and not near Philly this should be of little surprise. My only wish would be that they had grilled peppers as an add on that would fulfill my guido background. They also have good waffle fries , but I skipped that this time. Why Jakes , because for the price point you get a great filling , and quality sandwich. Btw , I have heard they make Great Burgers , but have yet to try them. read more

Great place to catch Eagles games for Philly transplants!!! Cheesesteaks served on authentic Amoroso rolls with curly seasoned fries.

I found this place on a trip to a nearby float therapy place and the mushroom cheesesteak with waffle fries is the perfect lunch comfort food for me. I was able to sit at the bar counter and this is definitely the type of place where you can sit down and have some beer while watching sports on the big screen. With tax and tip, this was under $20. Definitely a good place to try when you are in the area. read more

Jake's Steaks - Mushroom Cheesesteak with Waffle Fries - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Sixty dollar overpriced for steak sandwich, hamburger, and tenders no fires. And the steak sandwich wasn't appetizing at all. And the burger wasn't toast as I request. I also asked for my condiments to be on the side, which they though on the burger. The burger meat looked like it was slaughtered twice, I throw it away, wouldn't even feed it to my dog. If your looking for a late night male, I strongly suggest spending your money elsewhere- try "The Melt". read more

Jake's Steaks - Condiment thrown underneath uncooked meat. Soggy buns. One way ticket to toilet vil usa - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

One of the homies brought me to this place for some cheesesteaks. Being a Packer fan who represents all over the country I love seeing other teams represented in the cities they're not from. This is one of those places. Philadelphia and the Eagles are well represented in this small but lively San Francisco bar. The cheesesteaks here are amazing. Steak mixed with cheese whiz toasted bun and cherry peppers is Stone Cold Philly for real. This is no knock off. Caught my Philly with waffle fries which were hot fresh & crispy the homie had the curly fries which were equally delicious. Super dope reasonably priced option for sandwiches and beers in the city. If you're lucky enough to catch an Eagles game I'm sure it's super lit on game days. Wisconsin cheese head approved!!!! read more

I'm writing an update after catching a few Eagles games at Jake's over the last few years. My previous review was just for my experience with the delivery. Philadelphia sports fans gather at Jake's to grab a bite but also to bond over our shared love for our favorite teams. The staff are all so friendly, down to earth, and really passionate about Philly sports. The cheesesteak is still great so I have no complaints (though I still desperately want a local hoagie spot, nothing here does it for me)! read more

Fantastic meal and service. Meg was outstanding. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great steak and service. The atmosphere is perfect for a perfect evening. read more

Ordered for pick up as we were staying at a hotel nearby (ordered meatball sandwich, fries) and was so shocked at how big the sandwich was and how delicious it was. I never jump on to write food reviews, but it was SO good that I had to. 10/10 would recommend and would eat there a ton if I lived in SF. read more

On the 8th day God created the Philly Cheesesteak and I can't find anyplace that does it better than Jake's Steaks. The trinity of Cheese Whiz, sautéed onions and grilled steak reaches heavenly heights in this church of all things Philly. And their cheese smothered waffle fries would be worthy of a last supper or afternoon watching the Eagles. Thank you from a devout follower. read more

I always, for years and years, have done Buster's (on Columbus) for cheesesteaks. But I had the strange urge to mix it up. So Jake's Steaks got my delivery order, via caviar. Heavy sigh. Why is it that when you're ESPECIALLY hungry, your order gets delayed for what seems like hours? Oh wait. It WAS hours. Well, almost 2 hours. I placed the order at 6:10. My order arrived just before 8:00. Yes, caviar gave me credit. Blah blah blah. It's a cheesesteak. And curly fries. And they are cold. Just boo. But, guess what? I warmed up the sammy, & it was good as new. And who knew that heating up curly fries, after covering them w the sides of chili & cheez whiz that you ordered, could still be delectable?! I certainly didn't. Then, there's the quality. As much as I love Buster's, I have to note that the quality at Jake's is superior. Quality doesn't lie. You can see it, you can smell it, you can taste it. So, I forgive you Jake's. I forgive you for the huge delay in delivery time, & for my order arriving cold. Because, you made up for it w a great product. 4 stars. read more

Enjoyable spot serving up burgers, cheesesteaks, and other sandwiches in a small, cozy sports bar environment. Cheesesteak was flavorful with well-seasoned grilled onions, typical cheese whiz, and generous portion of steak. Loses a star because the bread is in a sort of no man's land where it's not the light fluffy type you get in Philly but also not some sort of dense toasted option. read more

Great cheesesteaks on authentic Philly rolls. Chicken and steak options with provolone or wiz. I like wiz with steak and provolone with chicken. read more

I'd forgotten that I'd reviewed this place before in 2009. Just went back to give it another try. This time, there was PLENTY of cheese, but the WRONG cheese. We asked for provolone in 3 cheese steaks and got SWISS. Whaaa?? If they were out of provolone, we would've appreciated being told and then getting a choice between Whiz Wit and Swiss. We'd have picked WW, dude. Again, the steak and roll were decent, but the Swiss really ruined the cheesesteak feel and smell. I asked for sweet peppers, but there was only a smattering of them. I still miss the Phat Philly peppers and giardiniera bar. We'd ordered two 12" and one 8", but got two 8" and one 12". We added a waffle fries, but they tasted like bland, no-oil air fryer ones. Blah. Service was decent. Who gets Swiss on their cheesesteak, sigh. Not running back. read more

goated cheesesteak. owner couldnt be nicer. cool ahh sports bar with tvs everywhere. couldnt recommend more

Food is always tasty, when I'm in the mood for something a little heavier this is a go to because it's near my house and I can easily walk there. I usually get the mushroom cheesesteak with some waffle fries and ranch, but recently I got the Jakes cheesesteak and it was really good, I'd get it again for sure. The service is always good, it's a small spot and the staff is always attentive. read more

Mushroom cheesesteak w whiz To.die.for.
