    Steak N Fries
    Sadie L.

    I have came to this spot many times with my family through the time I have lived in San Diego, and I love the service. Today I came with my brother and we ordered the steak n fries with chicken. The wait time was reasonable due to only two workers behind the counter. Once it came to our table we noticed it was missing a few toppings, we brought it back to the counter and they fixed it immediately for it without questions being asked. When it came back to us the worker hooked it up with a generous amount of toppings & more cheese upon request. Some of the fries were a bit hard but still had a good taste to it. The price was reasonable, not too expensive for how much was given. Super nice customer service and even gave me a card with free fries next time I came back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The spot itself was small but has a lot to offer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you!

    Cheesesteak & fries
    Melanie M.

    I came here for the first time the other day. It's a family owned business and the staff working were really nice. They gave me a card for the next time I come that says if I buy a cheesesteak I'll get a free side of fries. Everything is made fresh to order. I got a cheesesteak with cheese whiz and added onions & bell peppers. The fries needed to be cooked longer. They were both massive portions. I was so full after. I'd try this place again but maybe tell them to make my fries crispy.

    Pizza Steak

    After a scenic coastal ride from Oceanside, my son and I stopped at Steak N Fries for lunch. He had the Buffalo Fries, and I ordered the Pizza Steak--both were fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. The portions were generous, the prices were fair, and the food exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu next time we're in Pacific Beach!

    Father daughter shop is fire stop in and get a delicious sandwich. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is great and the kids loved it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Philly with provolone, peppers onions and an order of fries.

    The mom and daughter duo who took care of me were super chill. I loved the Philly steak sandwich I ate. The ribeye was amazing. So perfect. The bread is on point, soft but able to stand up to the juices without getting gummy. My wife loved their fries. We tried their sodas from Philly, Moms was nice enough to give us a blue pop to try for free. It tasted like the blue otter pops from my childhood. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the vibe here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You should come check them out. I'm certain you won't be dissatisfied.

    Cheesesteak

    Best cheesesteak I've had in San Diego and I've been looking !!! 10 out of 10. The staff were very professional and explained the menu and options.

    What can I say except I finally found a great Philly Cheese Streak Sandwich. I found them on Tic Tok, and had to try them. I had been searching for a place where I can get a good fresh quality Cheesesteak at a good price. Found It! I have been several times and enjoyed every visit. The Service is very friendly and personable, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the Ambiance is nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is some window seating inside, and a few tables outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The meat is cut fresh daily and made to order. I have also had the combo with fries. The fries are just as good. Quality potatoes and larger in size fries make a great meal. To Go & Delivery service is also available. Family owned and Operated. You have to try this place at least once.

    Philadelphia love

    I was desperate for some cheese fries and this place was the closest to my location at the time. It's walking distance from the beach. They are family owned and operated, and their customer service is phenomenal. They are really friendly and welcoming, and they gave me updates on when my order would be ready so I wasn't just sitting there wondering. The food is fresh, and the cheese fries did NOT disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the Philadelphia love all over the place and the music created a fun atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely a good find! Highly recommended!!

    Chicken steak sandwich! So good!!!
    Breanne B.

    We were walking by and pleasantly surprised by the delicious steak sandwiches! I ended up getting a cheesy steak sandwich which I have never tried before and it was absolutely delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is pretty small and there's only about three seats inside, but if you catch it at a non-busy time It's a cute little place to eat![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was great and the place was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Cheers

All the food was a 10/10 best in San Diego if your not going here your missing out give them a try you won't regret it trust me I just got my food 39 mins ago and I'm so full best Philly I've had besides being in Philly. Me and my family will be ordering again.Thanks for making me feel welcomed and hope to meet your daughter next time.

    Always the best roast beef I have ever found! Fantastic customer service. Masters of their craft…read moredoing what they love.

    A lot of y'all don't understand New England Roast Beef sandwiches and it shows…read more The good: * OMGosh the sandwiches are unbelievable. The owner makes the meat all from scratch. All you naysayers saying "fillers... premade...", just look to your right when you order - you'll see a fridge full of WHOLE roasts, wrapped and ready to be made. * Owner is regularly working the shop and you can tell he loves what he does. Super friendly and patient to walk you through the menu. * That French dip is a MUST try. Crispy sesame bun outside, cheesy and meaty inside. I'll be dreaming about it. * Biggest surprise - those fries! Best curly fries in SD hands down. It is what it is: * Yes, it's pricey. $20ish a sandwich. But weighing it all out, you get what you pay for. You're going to pay $4 less for a little sub down the street with an EIGHTH of the meat (and that stuff down the street isn't home made). * No inside seating. 4ish tables out front available to sit and eat at. * This is best fresh, for sure. Don't expect a good reheat experience. The bad: * Parking sucks. It PB so it's all paid parking. * Restrooms are not close. Verdict: * Phenomenal premium sandwiches that are worth every penny if you understand New England Roast Beef. He's doing it better than most on the east coast.

They have inside and outside seating. Water dispenser with cups by the register. Check out their specials by the register and on their instagram. Dog friendly. Their large drinks come with 3 shots of espresso (vs 2 in the small) so we went with large. They have alternative milks for an extra 75 cents. Tried: Hawaiian latte $7.25 - good flavor Butterscotch latte $7.25 - friend liked but not my thing. Breakfast sandwich $13.25 - good. A little too much aioli. Came out very hot and fresh. Recommend this one. Baja Burrito $15.75 - added bacon ($2.75 extra). This was a very healthy tasting and massive burrito. Wasn't really a fan of the overall flavor. Salsa was good. Club $17 - most expensive item. A little too much aioli on this but overall was good and it came with a cute little fruit cup. I love that they open very early in the morning and just one block from the beach! I'll be back to try their other food and drinks.

The kouign amann had an interesting burnt caramelized crunch on top. The croissant didn't have a very strong pistachio or strawberry flavor, but the texture was decent. My favorite pastry was the peach and vanilla tile, as the peaches were sweet and refreshing and complemented the vanilla well.
