Atmosphere: Food truck pod…read more Food: I was very excited when I got the cheesesteak. It was piping hot and I had high hopes, especially with Whiz. The whiz was done right and was nice and thin as opposed to being too thick like some places do it. I appreciated the idea behind putting multiple cheese types in here, but I think it probably would have been better with just whiz. Unfortunately, my biggest gripe with this sandwich was that the meat used was pretty clearly chopped up burger meat as opposed to the typical shaved steak that you would typically encounter in a cheesesteak. While I hoped that this wouldn't make too much of a difference and would still be an enjoyable sandwich, I just couldn't overlook it as I ate the sandwich. Price: $17 for a cheesesteak (as of June 12, 2025). Reubens were $19. Prices are a bit high in my opinion Service: Excellent service. Very friendly and accommodating Parking: Street parking. Parking in the area can be a little tight but you can find something if you don't mind walking a couple blocks

I kept my pants on for that one. The chopped cheese though? That blew my face off. One of the best things you can get on a hoagie this side of the Mississippi. Get that. Go home and eat it. Go to sleep. Wake up, and go back and get it again. Elite stuff. The rest of the menu looked pretty sexy too. (4.7 Stars)

I absolutely love a good Philly cheesesteak sandwich and when I saw this cart I knew I had to try it. So I ordered up the original Philly cheesesteak sandwich that comes with crinkle cut fries. Who doesn't like crinkle cut fries? :-) They gave me a light up/vibrate device so when my order was ready it would go off. It took approximately 10 minutes and my order was ready. I was absolutely amazed at how large the sandwich was an even the fries were a good portion. They included catsup and some sort of thousand Island dressing on the side as well. It was piping hot so I had to wait a bit. First bite of that sandwich put me in a bit of shock... What is this taste that's a bit overpowering and it doesn't taste nothing like a "Original" Philly Cheesesteak. I am not a person who likes curry or nutmeg But my Philly cheesesteak had one or both of them on it. What?? Who does that? I took a second bite to confirm... Yuck! And the roll had some sweetness to it. If I wouldn't of got it to go I would've went back and got a refund but I didn't have time. If you are going to use some odd spice on a Philly cheesesteak sandwich you better put it in your menu so people know and aren't shocked when they bite into it If you are going to use some odd spice on a Philly cheesesteak sandwich you better put it in your menu so people know and aren't shocked when they bite into it. I won't do it again. There are plenty of good Philly cheesesteak places around town so you may want to think about your spices. If you happen to like those spices and a sweeter roll you may want to try out this place it was a very good portion and the people were nice.

The food smelled amazing however it did take an excruciating a long time to come out. We honestly thought we were gonna have to go up and see whether or not they had forgotten us. It took so long once we got the sandwich. There was plenty of food and we got the pepper cheesesteak and it was good like the meat was good. The peppers and mushrooms were good, but we did ask for additional mushrooms and they're very little in there. And in the scheme of things, they really wasn't that much inside for the sandwich and it was definitely lacking insult which of course could be me. As someone who knows Phillies from Philly I don't know. I still want to try them out for other sandwiches, but I don't know about the Philly.

Every single thing on the menu is amazing - the cheesesteaks obviously (get the buffalo chicken…read morefully loaded) - but also everything else. Great wings (honey hot!) and the Grinder is amazing too. More importantly, the atmosphere is so good. Comfortable, Megan is so nice, and it just always feels friendly like family here. Pro tip - they have a tv and play sports games. There aren't many good sports spots in the neighborhood but this is definitely a hidden gem for watching the game! Great for kids too and they have some board games to keep everyone busy.

The restaurant is small - four tables - but clean. The menu board is eye catching and clear about what's available. Keep in mind when ordering, fries don't come with the sandwiches, they need to be ordered separately. We ordered a full Original, which was the perfect size for us two adults. It has the shredded/chopped steak with provolone and sweet-hot peppers. It was delicious! The man working (manager? owner?) sat down with us for a couple minutes in-between customers and chatted. He was super nice and helpful when we were deciding what to eat.

The sandwich was just what I hoped for, and it came with fries, which I certainly didn't need, but enjoyed nonetheless. The pod has a nice selection of carts, and though you can easily fill up just at Rose City, be sure to check out the other spots for side dishes and/or for future visits. Like all the other carts, you'll get a buzzer with plenty of range to ping you when the food is ready. The neighboring building has a bright, welcoming mural overlooking the pods, adding to the good feeling you'll get from the food.

Notes: This food truck was inside Hawthorne Asylum so neat place to grab a bite with various choices. Many outdoor seating most are shaded areas too. Good service and cheesesteak was quickly made, and came out hot and steamy smelling delicious!

It took a while to get my order, but it seemed as if they hired a new worker and were showing him he ropes on how to properly make a good cheesesteak sandwich. The person teaching seemed like he had a passion for the craft of assembling and making the sandwich. But needless to say, he did, because it was pretty fire in my opinion. The beef was delicious! Very well seasoned and accompanied by the onions and swiss cheese, the sandwich was to die for! The peppers worked extremely well, and the roll that they used was super soft and toasted as well. The presentation of the sandwich was simple, but you're able to peer directly in and see all the ingredients inside the sandwich. Beef was tender and each bite was a melty, cheesy, burst of flavor in my mouth.

I ordered a Rose City Smash double... and did not see cheese on the menu listing.

When I got the burger, I let them know about the mistake, and they offered to make me another burger. I said it ok... and ate the burger as it was. Tasty... lots of meat, way too much lettuce (especially with the current lettuce problems, lol)! Looking forward to next time!
