We shared the Philly cheesesteak with no mushrooms, mango habanero chicken bites (8 ct) with sauce on the side, and garlic knots. He asked if we wanted the knots to come out first - and we said yes, that's a great idea! The cheesesteak came out first - with mushrooms. We had to send it back. Then the chicken bites came out second - with the sauce tossed in. We were shy to send it back because we are still waiting for the cheesesteak to be remade. Lastly, the garlic knots came last (when we were offered for it to come first). Maybe we'll come back on another day when it's not so busy. Their cheesesteak was good in portion! Mango habanero was spicier than what I'm used to. Garlic knots were a win.

He did ask if cheese and onions were okay which I appreciated. I absentmindedly forgot to make my buffalo cheesesteak with chicken. But it was okay with steak just not what I expected. Wish the cashier would've asked me which option I wanted but it's all good. Just know that it will default to steak of my you don't specify. Flavor was good. Sandwiches were hot even after driving home. Price tag is a bit on the higher side as the two sandwiches (one small and one reg) was roughly $27 without tax and tip. A $5 coupon was then applied so that was good. However, That was without sides. If you made them combos you're looking at close to $40. A tad hefty for my liking but I like supportinglocal

I tried the Philly cheesesteak on both occasions and I feel that something is off. On the first trip, I felt that the bread seems doughy and the meat to cheese ratio is off where there was too much cheese. The steak was chewy and different have must flavor that I'm used of tasting from a cheesesteak. In trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and believing that the experience was a bit off since this was carry out order and I didn't eat it right away, I decided to wait a bit before trying this place again. On the second trip, I ordered the same thing and paid extra to make it a hoagie (adding lettuce and tomatoes). I must say that I feel some kind a way about having to order extra for lettuce and tomatoes, but that was the choice I made. Instead of waiting, I decided to take a bite immediately when I got to my car. The bread was still too doughy for my liking and i feel there was too much cheese to make the sandwich too chewy. I tasted the meat separately and found the flavor lacking. In the end, I tossed the rest of the sandwich in the trash. So, I tried this place a couple of times and can't say I would go back for a third trip.

We were immediately greeted by an older gentleman who I assume is the owner. He was friendly and chatted with us a few times during while we dined it. Customer service - B. My husband had to wait a good 15 mins for a refill on a cup of coffee while the gentleman was in the back. Food - Ugh. I ordered the Jack - double home fries, onions, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy and cheese. My husband ordered the frick frack - large portion of home fries topped with onions, sausage links, bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy with cheese. Unfortunately, both are meals were disappointing. Neither dish had onions. I did hear a blender at one point so perhaps they were blended and were not visible. Also, "sausage gravy." I didn't see any meat in my meal. Again, maybe it was blended? The frick frack didn't come with any sausage links as the description on the menu stated. Overall, our experience was very disappointing. We ordered our meals based on their descriptions and unfortunately, we did not get what we ordered.

I work in Lake Mary and was craving a cheesesteak for lunch today. LaSpadas or Slam would be my…read morego-to, but a tad far just for a lunch break with my company's given location. So I googled "Cheesesteak near me". A place by the name of "Pardon My Cheesesteak" amerged. I recall seeing the name on Uber Eats before. Surprisingly, their location was over this way in a plaza about 1 minute from my job. On maps it showed it was in between 2 restaurants I frequent for lunch. How have I not seen this before??! .. the plot thickens .. Their listing online said that they are delivery/pick up only spot. I decided to try them out, why not? So their menu said that their sandwiches come with melted cheese wiz type sauce AND provolone. I'm not a fan of cheese wiz on cheesesteaks, so I wanted to exclude it. Their online ordering portal would not allow me to make this alertation. I decided to try calling them. Their phone number started with (844) which I thought was weird? Call center maybe? The rep on the phone stated that the location is actually inside of Toojays restaurant, and he would connect me. I spoke with a woman (from Toojays) that stated when my order came through, she would tell them no cheese sauce. Easy enough right? I delve deeper into this, and saw on Pardon My Cheesesteak's website that they are a "Virtual" restuarant. They have multiple locations that are set up in various restaurants around town. This definitely peaked my interest. Do they just ship out their ingredients? Is there a Pardon My Cheesesteak worker actually in the kitchen at Toojays? A bit perplexing.. I never got the answers to my questions, because I stopped my quander abruptly after tasting my sandwich. In my opinion, it SUCKED. I consider myself a bit of a cheesesteak aficionado, and this by far was one of the worst I have ever had. It had absolutely NO seasoning. It was bland as could be. They didn't even bother to chop the steak inside, it was all folded up to one side. I tried adding some salt & pepper and a little bit of mayo. This made it edible for a little bit to help my hunger factor, but in the end, I didn't even finish it. It was horrible, so I threw it away - along with my $11.45 I paid for a SIX INCH catastrophe. I know my review might come off as a little harsh, but I call it like I see it .. or taste it. Being such a cheesesteak lover myself, I would definitely feel more passionate - hence my critical yet honest review. I also feel its my duty to advise fellow foodies of my experience and what could possibly be theirs. Consider yourself warned!

Its a dive, well kinda hahaha, right when you walk up you can tell it use to be a quiznos sub shop, they didn't even bother changing the seats lol. Either way who cares if the cheese steak is good, and it is, very good. I would like a little more seasoning in the meat. So why 3 stars and not 4-5. I could not help but see the vast amount of sweat dripping from the cooks, granted they were busy for lunch on a Friday, but take 2 seconds and wipe your face with a paper towel please. The other reason was the dinning room was a train wreck, bites of food, straws, napkins, etc on the floor, soda station was messy and out of ice tea and forks. Over all maybe they were having an off day so don't take my review to harsh, I will be back next time I'm on this side of town around lunch time. read more

Sandwich served with bigotry. Never had someone serve me a sandwich while saying they were going to wear their Trump shirt to the Black Lives Matter protests this afternoon. Of course this was said in front of black youth. Keep in mind we're in Sanford, which is infamous for Trayvon Martin's murder. Black business and supporters should be aware where you are putting your money. read more

Food is alright but a little bit overpriced. Also saw the gentleman who was working behind the register grab cash, put it in a cash bag, open coins and handle money with his hands, then go and grab the bread and meat with the same hands without washing them... I had to tell him what he had just done and then he went to wash his hands... Makes me not want to come here again.... read more
