The food was overall good. Had a large cheesesteak sandwich with white American cheese, hand cut fries and a drink. The prices were high though @ $28. I know that all restaurants are struggling with higher costs of pretty much everything, so it has to get passed along to the consumer. Customer service was fast and friendly. I'd give it another try when I'm in the area. read more

While the food is good, charging $26.23 for a full size cheese steak with fries is ridiculous. I refuse to pay that, it's a shame because I have been going there for quite some time. Lower your prices or you will be out of business soon! read more

Disgusting--the meat is pre-cooked and then put on. They nuke the cheese to melt it on. Truly an abomination. Oh and it's a dirty restaurant and over priced. Other than that ... read more

This place was pretty clean inside and has spacious seating. Our cheesesteaks were made to order and the veggies were fresh. I thought the beef was a bit too salty. I love cheesesteaks, but because of the heavy seasoning, I haven't been back. read more

If you have a gluten allergy or issue DO NOT eat here! Made my wife's gluten free sandwich on regular bread and made her violently ill. Some or all of the staff don't understand how important gluten free is for some people. The sandwiches are good but no go for gluten issues. read more

I have been ordering twice monthly for quite a while. Food is always good. The charge has always been $20.00 for a sandwich with fries. Today the cost was $24.00. I understand costs going up and the need to pass it in BUT, a sandwich with fries is NOT worth this cost. Lost a customer. read more

I Love this place. The service and the food both have my approval. Have to stop when I pass it.

Looked for places to eat in the area, and some cheesesteaks with cheese wiz sounded amazing. Went on a Sunday afternoon when it wasn't too busy and ordered 2 cheesesteaks with cheese wiz and were not disappointed. We were so hungry that these definitely filled us up. The bread was so soft and the cheese to meat ratio was perfect! The fries were the perfect side. The staff were super friendly and quick with taking our order and even brought us our food. The decor inside looked so good, I loved the news themed basket liners under our cheesesteaks. Overall a very pleasant experience and would come back again if in the area. read more

Mojo's if the serving is not two meals; You have a growing teenager or You have not eaten in two days. Fresh good delicious food. The sandwhich and coleslaw was excellent. The salad my companion had was excellent. Not the cheap option, but the quality option. read more

Sandwiches were really good we got the Philly cheesesteak the Italian and pastrami which was great. Prices were expensive for the amount of meat in the sandwich. So this maybe a every 6 month order for us read more

The cheesesteaks are great. I ordered cheese fries and got home and no cheese. That was really annoying.

Gosh, I'm so sad today this place just isn't the same as it used to be. Since moving to the west coast, returning here for a cheesesteak was definitely a high priority. Minimal differences from my last visits but certainly took the mouthwatering magic out of the experience. The cheesesteak used to be perfection, this time the onions were still crunchy, the provolone (no I don't get cheese wiz) was slathered on top of the bun. The crab fries were hardly seasoned which considering a $1.25 up charge for old bay seasoning, like bruh be generous wit da spice! They also changed the ranch dressing which used to be a beautiful blend of buttermilk ranch, now it tastes like a concession stand sized tub of spiced mayonnaise. Considering the cost is not on the low end and the disappointment was real - I likely will not return. If it's your first experience you may truly enjoy it, but if you are an OG customer you'll likely be let down. Small things make the big difference, sad that it appears corners are now being cut at this establishment. read more

When I saw they make roast pork sammies, I wanted to try this place. It's across the street so if I like the food then I'll come more often. There was plenty of seating and no line. I ordered papa's roast pork sammie and mojo's cheesesteak. I tried the crab fries as well. Crab fries were unfortunately overly salty, I didn't even finish all of it. The sandwiches didn't have as much meat as they should for the prices. It's like $20 for a full sandwich with a side. It was a one and done for me. I went to other places where they were generous with the meat on a Philly cheesesteak. Roast pork sammie was mediocre at best. Service was okay, they could be friendlier. read more

Just stopped in about a hour ago and got a mojo cheese steak sandwich. All I can say is I'm super disappointed! This place use to be great to get one of there sandwich's because of the care and attention to details on every sandwich. Well today I had to pay that premium of almost $20 for one and all I asked was please no onions and what they did is put barley any cheese on the sandwich ,but about a full shredded size onion on my sandwich. I had to throw it away because onions make me sick ,so that was a waste of money and I'm not going back after this experience. read more

Something changed here. I stopped in last week after not eating here in about a year or so. Cheesesteak sandwich was just bad. Bread was definitely not Amoroso and it looked like they just took whatever meat they had left and tossed it in some hoagie roll and put a couple provolone slices on top barely melted. Shocked and disappointed it was so bad. Does this place have new ownership by chance? read more

Stopped here for a sandwich and wow! These are huge! They've got the Philly lingo down regarding "wit" (as in "wit onions"); my provie wit (aka provolone and onion cheesesteak) had enty of meat and onions but was somewhat lacking in the cheese department. Staff was very friendly. Would stop by again for a taste of Philly in this area. read more

Mojo's cheesesteak and cheesesteak hoagie w/ fries were fresh and tasty! The place is really clean, service was friendly and efficient. The bread is authentic and shipped from Philadelphia. While the prices are higher than other places, the quality is better too. You get a genuinely good tasting cheesesteak sandwich and I don't mind paying for it. If you're on a budget, this might not be the place for you but I'm glad I gave it a shot. read more

Tried this place again after probably 4-5 years Got two 12" cheese steaks with provolone Sandwiches were ok The fries are still mushy, greasy & undercooked Bill was over $43 for 2 carry out lunches with no drinks That's way too much I Won't be back read more

I was craving a HOAGIE, I started searching for places that sold them and this place came up. I checked out the menu and the reviews and thought this would be a good fit for me. We ordered "The Momo" & " The Meatball Sandwich". The Momo is supposed to be a Hoagie with Tuna. I ordered that with excitement because I had been craving a hoagie for days and I have never had a tuna hoagie before so I was excited. I ordered in advance, they were really nice on the phone. After trying the Momo, it wasn't what I was expecting. It wasn't my definition of a hoagie. I grew up eating hoagies from places like Taurus flavors. So I was a bit sad it wasn't what I expected but the service was fine and the sandwich wasn't bad. read more

I hate to say this about a local place, but Jersey Mike's is better. Most the sandwiches are $12.99 and come with fries. Unfortunately the large sandwiches are Not packed with meat and cheese, but instead are rather light compared to their East coast counterparts. we called in an order to pick up for 3 sandwiches, but they only gave us 2 orders of fries. had to wait while they made more fries. unfortunately the fries didn't not taste fresh. they're hand cut, but hard, just not good. they should take a tip from Sweet and Savory Spot, who has the best hand cut, made to order fries around. I can't justify going back. nothing was awesome about these skimped overpriced sandwiches read more

mojo's east coast eats - there is a very thin layer of tuna in there somewhere. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

The food is EXCELLENT! I'm from the east coast and I'm very impressed by the cheesesteaks, honestly. The pizza steak and pizza fries are delicious! Highly recommend this place. read more

I love mojos but I wish they were more consistent with their food! I feel like half of the time my sandwich is too greasy or the meat quality isn't the same as usual. I like when it isn't greasy and when the meat is more on the shredded side versus chunky. I'm really not sure what causes the variation, if I knew I would just not come those days! read more

Not a reviewer, but after my 5th or 6th visit - most recently today on Super Bowl Sunday when the Eagles are in the Super bowl (time for Philly Cheesesteak right?) now's the time to provide some feedback: The cheesesteaks have always been really good and very authentic. From reading other reviews I seemed to have missed the "new owners, it's not the same" experience that others have had. My cheesesteak today was just as good as the last time I was there (more than 2years ago). That said, the in-store experience has always been a drag. Whether it's ordering from a person who seems overwhelmed with taking an order (weird, especially those times when I'm the only one in the store) to waiting way too long for a cheesesteak to be made, bagged and given to me. What's been consistent over the years is poor communication between back of the house (kitchen) and the customer facing part of the store. Making a cheesesteak should not take a minimum of 15 mins, yet that has been my experience every time at Mojo's, even when I'm the only person there. It's easy to blame the staffing when one sees many employees moving around in a place. Can't do that when it's just two dudes like it is here. To be accurate, on a few visits there have been as many as four or five people working there, but have not seen more than two people at a time there since the pandemic. In summary, if you are in a hurry skip this place. If you have an hour to sit down and enjoy your meal, then give it a shot. Mojo's continues to have the most authentic Philly Cheesesteaks in all of Chicagoland. read more

I used to love this place but I am done. The prices have gotten to be ridiculous. Almost $20 for a fast food sandwich??? It's not THAT good! I can't imagine this place does any business when every time I drive by I see the giant "WE ARE OPEN'" sign by the front door. I'll be surprised if they last through the year. Sad to see this place go downhill. read more

Been coming here since they opened and they are hands down the best cheesesteak I've had outside of Philly. A little pricey but the cheesesteaks are so good I don't care. read more

To charge $20 for a meatball sandwich sets expectations really high, and sadly I don't think I would have been happy paying half that price for this meal. The meatballs were barely over room temperature, the bread chewy and the flavor totally lacking. I tried to order online ahead of time but it said it would take 40 minutes so I drove there in person to find the place empty. I ordered in person and waited about 10 minutes. It's hard to imagine what would bring us back with prices that high and the quality average at best. Food: 1/5 | Service: 3/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5 read more

Mojo's East Coast Eats is the new King of the Cheesesteak in the Chicago suburbs! They make outstanding sandwiches that make you feel like you're actually in Philly! While in the area we stopped by for lunch and weren't disappointed. We went with the standard cheesesteak (with whiz, of course), as my go-to litmus test for any new spot is to get what they do best. And "best" is the perfect way to describe this cheesesteak. It was the perfect ratio of meat-to-bread, topped with delicious molten whiz, and a SIZABLE portion. Not to mention that each one comes with fries, of which I opted for the "Crab Fries" (which was fries with Old Bay Seasoning - AMAZING). We washed it all down with some Hank's Root Beers, because why not?! Creating and serving all this goodness was a staff that was friendly and genuinely appreciative of our business. They take their time crafting their sandwiches but it wasn't a bother because no one else was in for an early lunch like us. Sadly we don't make it down this way as often as we'd like but I can see making a special trip when the taste for a cheesesteak pops up - there is NO WHERE else I want to go for a cheesesteak sandwich in the Chicagoland area than Mojo's from here on out. read more

Bread was terrible stall and just warm not toasted Fell apart as I tried to pick it up

New ownership. We think the cheesesteaks are slightly different than before - and for the better. Better bread than before, and they definitely are generous on the meat. Friendly counter staff, easy to order online, order was ready right on time. Will be going back. read more

Mojo's is always a good place to satisfy a cheesesteak craving. It's a good sized sandwich and the prices include fresh cut fries so it's enough for lunch or dinner. The buffalo chicken version is good as well. Order online, by phone or for takeout and it's ready right on time. read more

We've been big Mojo's fans since they opened. However, our last visit will be our last. The prices for what you get are simply unaffordable. I will splurge for a nice meal, but not for a to go sandwich and fries. One cheesesteak sandwich is now $17.99. A kids ham sandwich meal is $13.99 and a plain kids hot dog meal is $12.99. They took the kids cheesesteak off of the kids menu all together...and it's a cheesesteak place! My kids used to like to go there and enjoy a mini cheesesteak on a frisbee, but this time I didn't let them order a kids meal because I was not about to pay $26 for two plain hot dogs! It's a shame. I'm wondering if it's true from the other Yelp reviews that it was sold to new owners recently. While I enjoy the fresh cut fries, my cheesesteak was just ok, too much whiz. We just sadly won't be back again. read more

Kinda bummed. I went here the other day after a year absence and wow things have changed. The cheesesteaks used to be pretty close to what you'd find in Philly (or at least like Philly's Best in Chicago). Not anymore... The meat is different quality, onions needed to be cooked much more, bland, etc. Not sure if this is because of new ownership but I'm not going to make that drive again. Sad read more

$15+ for a 6inch cheesesteak and a small container of pasta. There is more meat on a roller at the Shell gas station up the street than on their sandwich. Nothing special. At all. read more

We used to love this place. I don't know what happened. Just pick up 3 sandwiches for 54 dollars and they were not good. Hot sandwich with mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato. So disappointed. read more

Good food. The prices were higher than we thought. Friendly atmosphere and we were well satisfied when we left.

Wow, $18 for a basic cheesesteak and fries!? That's just outrageous and it's just an average cheesesteak. Bummer bc I'm a neighbor and from PA...really want to give a good review read more

Overpriced east coast mediocrity. I've had better steak sandwich at great steak in the fox valley mall, and tbh a great Chicago italian beef still takes a steamer on a Philly. Did I mention it costs an arm and a leg too? It's like $18 for one full sized Philly steak, egregious. And I've had a better one at Jersey Mike's, the national chain. read more
