    Tays cheesesteak fries and their orange drink.
    Lisa O.

    Tay's is so yummy! The cheesesteaks are huge and so tasty. You can get a variety of toppings and cheeses. The fries are amazing. Love the hot au jus for the sandwich. I wish they had Pepsi products still, but their orange soda is very good. The staff is so friendly and service is fast. Definitely recommend this place !

    I put this place on my list about 18 months ago and finally got there. I have been to Tay's Burger Shack a few times, so I know that Tay is very familiar with what it takes to be excellent. Tay's Cheesesteak solidified that. This is the best cheesesteak I've had outside of Philly. It's better than Pat's or Geno's. The only one that beats it is Dalessandro's in Philly. Seriously legit steak. I LOVE that Tay is committed to grass fed beef! That's all we buy at home. Amoroso's bread is what all the greats use. If you go somewhere for a Philly and they don't use Amoroso's bread, leave. Go to a real joint. Like Tay's. Wow!! What a great treasure for KC! The staff is very cool, kind and helpful. They gave me time to make my way through the menu and ask questions. Diners are encouraged to ask for exactly what they want on their sandwich, even if it's not listed. I love the pepperoncini sauce, which I've never seen anywhere else. What a nice balance for the peppery meat and the salty cheese. My sandwich was made after I ordered it and served so hot I had to wait 2-3 minutes before I could pick it up and another couple minutes before I got a real decent bite. Love that. HOT food is rare these days. I appreciate it so much. What a real gem of a restaurant. I'm not gonna shut up about it. My friends have already been warned. We're going again. A lot.

    Ordered online and got food pretty quick. A little on the pricey side. Sandwich wasn't as big as I thought it. Flavor and taste was not what I expected. Would like to go back and try a different one to see if opinion changes.

    The overcooked dry meat.

    I was craving a cheesesteak tonight and decided to try this place out. For almost a $30 (12 inch original double meat no onions in a bowl) I placed an order online and came to pick it up 10 minutes later. I walked in, looked around and saw only one diner inside. I walked over to the counter and stated I placed a mobile order under my name and was handed my bag. I said thank you and left. When I arrived home less than 10 minutes later, I opened the bag and was disappointed. It looked reheated. The meat was dry, overcooked, and was in chunks instead of thinly sliced. There were also onion and pepper pieces I picked out. I was so disappointed, I couldn't eat it. I definitely do not recommend.

    I ordered this through DoorDash the other day because I was craving a great cheesesteak. This came with great reviews so I thought I'd give it a shot and I have to say, holy crap this cheesesteak was delicious! I love the different varieties they have and the fact that they let you customize what you want inside. I ended up going with the Tay's with added jalapenos and a side of their pepperoncini sauce - do not skip this sauce! It was phenomenal and I'm already craving it again! The fries were not bad, the spice had a flavor that I couldn't put my finger on, but overall I honestly couldn't stop eating them. I'll definitely be ordering again in the near future!

    I've been digging on Tay's burger shack for years. Now it was time to try their cheesesteaks. Which they knocked out of the park. Came here right before closing time on a Monday, the guy behind the counter was cool and told me to take my time. I had the entire place to myself, which was nice. The tay's cheesesteak and fries were soooo good. I look forward to coming back and trying their large selection of sandwiches.

    8" Effin Hot

    I was on the hunt for the best cheesesteaks in Kansas City, and Tay's kept popping up, so I had to give it a try. I stopped by around 7:30 on a Thursday evening, and it was surprisingly quiet--maybe it gets busier earlier in the day? I ordered two cheesesteaks to-go: the Travolta and the Effin'. Service was quick--my order was ready in under 10 minutes. The Travolta was a standout! The cream cheese sounded like a strange addition at first, but it blended so well with the flavors. The sandwich was loaded with meat, and the roll was super soft and flavorful, which really brought it all together. As for the Effin' cheesesteak, fair warning: it's seriously spicy. I love spicy food, but this was on a whole different level. It was a bit too much heat for me to enjoy fully, so I'd probably pick a different one next time. All in all, Tay's has definitely earned a return visit from me. The quality and flavors live up to the hype!

    The cheese steak is amazing! Highly satisfied with we were immediately greeted with an engaged employee who was cleaning greeted us immediately and so engaged. The service was excellent and the Ambiance is a classic urban sidewall sandwich shop.

But they don't just do pizza, there is an array of sandwiches, burgers, and of course their famous wings (beware of the Death Wings, like, REALLY beware). The kitchen is pretty much right in front of you and pies are getting slung constantly. That Rockin' Red sauce has that rich tomato base and it goes perfectly with that toasted crust flavor that only a pizza oven can provide. Toppings are seemingly anything (I'm a sucker for fresh mozz & meatballs) and while one slice is enough for many, two is just a sweeter spot. Beer on tap flows with local, regional, & known brands. The drink menu is pretty lengthy and beers will rotate with the seasons. If you're unsure on what you want, then your friendly server is very likely going to give you some good options. The whole place seems to be held together by stickers & customer 'art', so it gives Grinders a divey atmosphere but delivers a five-star product. Parking is Crossroads, pricing is reasonable but the value is far more than the price point(s), and there's a reason this place gets national exposure. It's that good. And if weather allows, then eat out back. Underrated KC patio.

The turkey was on the dry side, and it was sliced much thicker than I personally prefer. I tend to like a thinner deli-style sliced turkey, so it just wasn't my favorite sandwich. My mom ordered one of the salads though, and honestly it looked better than my sandwich. It was loaded with fresh toppings, and she said the ranch was excellent. If I come back, I'd probably skip the sandwich altogether and give one of the salads a try. Overall, I can definitely appreciate what they're going for. The prices are fantastic, honestly unheard of in present day, and that's the main reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 3. It's a true local spot, and I wouldn't mind giving it another chance to try something different from the menu.

The servings were not huge, but they were enough. The cheese sauce for the fries ($2.99) was a bit spendy, but it was good. I didn't like: 1)They expected customers to pay extra for their mayo/horseradish sauce. While .35 isn't much, and the lady working at the register gave me a tablespoon or so for free as I didn't ask about it until I'd already paid, it should come with the sandwich upon request. 2) the cook was sitting out front smoking when we arrived. I'm really hoping he washed his hands before cooking & starting to slice the mushrooms and that I just didn't see him. 3) there was a table cluttered with papers and a package of cigarettes at the front of the shop. It doesn't give customers a great impression that everything is kept up. However, I did not have any concerns with our table being clean. It was.
