The best steak and cheese in NOVA. Always fresh off the griddle, piled with tasty meat. The best hole in the wall you'll step foot in. I drive an hour out of my way just for the steak and cheese. The food speaks for itself, no fancy decor, just straightforward flavor! They have their own parking lot too which helps in this crowded area. Staff is always friendly, food is always fresh and consistently great! read more

The Broiler - Steak and Cheese Sandwich - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

PIZZA IS SOME SHIT!!! Everything slid off the crust that wasn't cooked a the way. Got my stomach bubbling to where people can hear that mothafucka on the phone when on speaker. NEVER AGAIN!! Som Bitches!!! read more

We ordered take out today on a Saturday evening. We got 4 subs and fries. The guy on the phone said it would be ready in 15 minutes. We arrived there 15 minutes later and had to wait 30 minutes for our food. They should have quoted longer times given how busy they were. I was quite foul when I finally got the food. That being said the cheesesteak was pretty good. It was cheesy, stuffed, and flavorful. However, there was way too much mayo. The sandwich was dripping mayo which made the bread soggy. Good news was if you get a large, it comes in two separate wrapped subs and one of mine wasn't as soggy so that one was more enjoyable. French fries were golden and crispy. Tips: Size wise, I would say go for the large. The small has you wishing for another half of a small (each sub is cut in half). Go with light mayo. Add hot pepper relish (not too spicy) and sweet peppers. Limited parking. read more

The steak and cheese subs are phenomenal! The fries are a must have with the sandwich! I have never been disappointed!!

Swung by here for a quick lunch while doing some shopping in the area. A definite 'no fuss, no muss' kind of place, which I appreciate. I was feeling more sandwichy and pizzay and definitely in the mood for some fries, perfect place for that feeling. We ordered a small grilled chicken and cheese with everything and a large steak and cheese with just onions with some fries to share. Grilled Chicken Breast Sub- *FYI* the grilled chicken is not like a grilled chicken breast. It is more of a chicken philly. That aside, the sandwich was great. If you are going this route, I would recommend getting all of the toppings, it brought a lot of flavor and I don't think this sandwich could stand alone without it. Steak and Cheese Sub- It was OK. I think the issue is that no ingredient really stood out, but I do think adding mayo-lettuce-tomato, this would be a pretty good sub! It was just a bit too greasy and needed some other elements. Also, we got a large and it was a TON of food. My husband took half home and he never has leftovers. Fries- Pretty standard fat crinkle fry with a lot of potato. Not too greasy. A nice side because the subs are a bit greasy. We both agreed that the chicken sandwich was a little better than the steak. Will definitely return if we are in the neighborhood again, maybe next time we will give the pizza a shot! read more

The Broiler - Grilled chicken and cheese sub with fries. Very tasty! - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This is more of a 3.5 star review. If I had only tried their sub, it would've been a 4-5 star review. However, their pizza really brought it down for me. For the sub: ordered a mushroom steak and cheese with the works. Ordering the 12" basically gives you 2 separate sandwiches individually wrapped, which is nice since one "half" already fills you up. I think the price for the sub is fair for the area and they dont skimp on filling. For the pizza: when I first went to pick up the sub, I saw a pizza being pulled out of the oven and it looked delicious so I had to try it the next time. What I can say once I ordered it? Beyond disappointing. Firstly, the pizza is tiny for what you pay for. A slightly bigger version of a personal sized pizza. The crust looked and tasted like cardboard- keep in mind I'm a huge fan of thin crust pizza, but this wasn't just a thin crust pizza. The crust broke apart like thin brittle and was the most unsatisfying pizza I've ever had. To add to this, the pizza for $15 had 3 toppings on it but the only real thing on there was some pepperoni. read more

The Broiler - Ordered with pepperoni, sausage and bacon. 8:1:1 ratio? Crust broke off like thin brittle. - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Stopped here again for a steak and cheese and think they have some of the best steak and cheese in the area. Cooked well, seasoned well, with great amount of cheese and on a great roll. I would stand clear fo the pizza, I may try it again at some point, and I will try other things on the menu. But if your looking for great subs at a fair price, no need to look further than The Broiler! read more

I've lived not too far from The Broiler for two years and I'm just now discovering it! I was craving a cheese steak sandwiches and when I typed it in the search bar on Yelp, The Broiler popped up. Since the establishment is close by, I decided to order on their website for me to pickup. The site was very easy to access and I was able to order my mushroom steak & cheese with french fries. Before you submit your order, you have the option to have the order ready asap or at a certain time. Since I was looking more for dinner time, I set my order for a 5:30pm pick up time. Once submitted, I received a notification text that would update me on my order. I arrived at the restaurant about 5 min before my scheduled pick-up time and notified the staff member that I was a little early. He kindly told me it was being made and will be ready at exactly 5:30pm. They sure worked super fast because it ended up being ready in less than 3 min after I checked in! I was very happy to have my food in hand and couldn't wait to dig in. Once I got home, I noticed that they sure give you a nice bagful of crinkle fries (a fave). The fries were really good although some were fried just a little too much to the point of extreme crunch. It didn't bother me too much as I wouldn't have eaten all those fries anyways. As for the sandwich, it was fresh and hot once I unwrapped the aluminum foil. The smell was amazing! I only ordered a 6in size and I instantly regretted not ordering the 12in afterwards. Although the presentation is a little messy, the sandwich was delicious! The cheese and meat ratio was perfect and I was in heaven! I was completely satisfied with my meal and wish I had more. I feel a little silly after passing this place so many times and didn't even think to stop here. They also have pizza here which I'll have to try out someday, but you can definitely expect me to be back for the sandwiches! They have so many other makes of the cheese steak, they even have a pizza one! So many options to choose from and I'm ready to try them all! read more

The Broiler - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The Broiler is an Arlington landmark. People come here for the pizza or subs. So don't expect any high end shit. Lines are weird but that's how it is. They have their own unique system. The menu small and simple. If you're ordering a pizza, call ahead. Can take about 20-25 minutes to make. I've had the steak and cheese sub with everything and their small pizza with pepperoni and anchovies. Both are pretty yummy. The pizzas come in a rectangular shape. The fries are crinkle fries. Come here if you want something greasy and filling. read more

The place absolutely SLAPS best cheesesteak in the DMV and I'm from Philly. The steak is seasoned soooo well nice and peppery, unlike the normal "steak and cheese" places that don't even use salt. It comes out soooo hot and fresh, I recommend eating it on the spot so you don't get soggy bread. Soggy bread is inevitable since the steak is so juicy and good. I don't really care for their fries, just normal fries, but I literally don't even care because I'm here for cheesesteak. read more

One of the best places to eat steak n cheese in Arlington. I've literally been coming here since childhood. Not to mention the customer service is amazing. The establishment is clean and I like the fact they have an PAC man machine that works on the inside. Kind of gives you that old school feel. Anyways, the food is bomb!!! Highly, recommend for you carry out lovers!!!! read more

The Broiler is a great place to stop by and get a cheese steak or Pizza! The customer service is great, the food is good and comes out quickly. The size of the cheese steaks are pretty big and are loaded with steak. The bread is fresh and the cheese on the steak and cheese is gooey (which is excellent). They also have crinkle cut french fries which are pretty good too. The steak and cheese subs are excellent and is the go-to here, but they also have great pizza and the guy who's been making the pizzas has been doing it for 20 years their. read more

They serve great steak and cheese it was the most incredible sandwich and the fries were fresh and well salted!

I was thinking steak and cheese for some reason. I was busy in the house all day, cleaning out. Tired and hungry. In had to hit the post office (don't bother with the Oakton branch if you need to mail something) and then I was off on 66 E. I called from across the street, ordering a 6" steak and cheese (no tomato) and an order of French fries. The voice on the phone said 10 minutes. Ok. Chill in the car with the radio on....out and across the street. The button to change the light is broken but with the minimal traffic, I made it across without a problem. I head toward to the spot to pickup my order. The place has the aroma of pizza and French fries cooking...I wish I could have stayed to eat....no go with the virus. I pay and tip and I'm gone. I have a beverage in the car to enjoy with the delicious crispy bread with the tender steak and yummy cheese. The fries are crispy and good. I think it's the best steak and cheese around having visited many a restaurant serving the same. I will be back. Glad they are open and doing business. read more

Best in Arlington. Hope the Broiler doesn't move to Philly but it certainly could compete with the excellence there.

First, let me preface this by saying that I had a pretty shitty day. Things were not going right and I needed something to pacify my annoyance. When one has a pretty shitty day, the last thing you should do is eat healthy. You need grease and you need gooeyness, hence my pilgrimage to The Broiler. I ordered the 6'' mushroom cheesesteak and my GOD it was beautiful. I had to take a minute and just marvel at it. Pulling the sandwich apart the gooeyness of the cheese stretched across about a foot. The bread was fresh and the meat was cook to my liking. I don't think there is anything I didn't like about this sandwich. The best thing about it was that when I was done, I felt so good and empowered, that I was ready to take on the rest of the day. So thank you Broiler. You made my day. read more

This place may not look like much but the food is AMAZING and the staff is outstanding and friendly. We love the Philly cheesesteaks and their fries are delicious. My husband doesn't call this place by its name but "delicious fries." Lol read more

Small businesses like this are the heartbeat of America. You gotta show up and support them. The broiler offers many things and our personal favorite is the cheesesteak. It is PACKED full of meat and cheese and whatever else you choose to get on it. Oh and it's massive! Do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Overall: OMG. (10/10) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Food: The bae and I both ordered a foot long cheese and steak sub with lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, chipotle mayo, salt and pepper, and ketchup. I've probably only had 2 cheesesteaks in my life (one actually at an original location in philadelphia and the other in charley's sub in the airport). So needless to say, I've had good and bad ones. However, this sub at the Broiler... was absolutely amazing. It was everything I had wanted without even knowing it. The beef had that nice high heat (literally temperature not spicy) grilled taste. The cheese was ooey gooey good. The bread was great, chewy and crispy and soft but crunchy. I don't even know what words to use to describe how much i LOVED it. It was perfect. Cost: I think it was about $22? I honestly don't remember, but I did post pics of the menu! I was very full, didn't even finish the full foot long. Had 2 meals with it. Atmosphere/Appearance: It was an old timey diner looking place. Looked like it was a spot that had been around for a while. Very casual and laidback. There were alot of regulars (from what I can tell based off the conversations between the employees and customers). I loved the friendly feel. Service: It's not a sit down-service place. The seats are first come first serve. It's like a fast food place, but with great quality food! read more

I am currently on the hunt for the "best" (in my opinion) steak & cheese sub in the DMV. The Broiler had good reviews so I went to try it. Truly enjoyed my sub (steak, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato & mayo). The bread was great & stuffed full (I could only eat the 6" because it's so full). I have to admit, it's not the greatest atmosphere for dine-in, but I will be placing more to-go orders! read more

I got a cheesesteak sub and my girlfriend got a cheeseburger sub and a fruit punch. Everything was delicious, it was the second most delicious sub I've ever had and the service was incredibly fast. The place was nice and I would recommend it. read more

in the 60s and 70s, you have to give it 10 stars. Especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Great big, thank you to Bobby, Irving, and his uncle who reminded me of Bowser. It was like the TV show happy days and Irving was our version of the Fonz. After it had been sold, I stopped for the last time, because they changed the recipes, although they deny it. I think I cried all the way home. WHS '64 read more

The broiler is my husband and I's go to place for steak and cheeses. We have been patronizing the broiler for at least 20 years. Typically they hit a home run. When the Broiler changed owners we stopped going there because the food didn't taste as good. But we decided to give it another go a couple of weeks ago. Everything seemed fine. Was the main cook off today?? The sandwiches were soggy, my bread was burnt on top, and the fries were disappointing. When my husband and I got home we were shocked at how bland the food tasted. We spent $45 bucks on cheesesteaks and fries. Please train your cooks. There's an art to making a good cheesesteak and fries and the broiler fell short for us today. Not sure if we'll be back. read more

Been wanting to go here for over a year now as I heard the cheesesteak is one of the best in VA. I was dissapoonted with mine, bread was not fresh, meat was poor quality with some cartilage pieces. The sweet peppers were delicious at least and fresh. The fries were also medicore, I like Shake shack's ridged fries much better. Best cheesesteak in the area is Jersey Mike's still by far. The cool thing about this building though is that it has history and I believe once was a gas station way back in the day. I do support small operations and hope they use more quality ingredients. I may come back to try the pizza. read more

Always a hit. I always get a pizza or a mushroom steak and cheese sub. The food is always hot and decadent, good stuff

Decent cheesesteaks, but not all they are hyped up to be. I do like how they load them up with cheese. The pizza toppings were good and I'm glad they use no pork however, the crust is horrible. It's like eating cardboard. If they upgrade the crust, it would be a pretty good pizza. Is this place worth a 30 minute drive??? Hell no!!! I can get just as good from Pizza Hut, Jersey Mikes etc. Will I visit again??? Yes if I am in the area for whatever reason. read more

First time I had a cheesesteak was at The Broiler, and now I can say it was "the best cheesesteak I've ever had" and "the only cheesesteak I've ever had". Nonetheless, it did not disappoint! I got extra provolone and the meat just melted in my mouth. The fries were made just how I like em, thick and crispy! Will definitely be coming back! read more

My wife brought a pizza from Broiler's on 12/21/23. She brought it to my job that was 5 minutes away. I opened the box. The hole pizza was burnt. I bit it. I thought I was eating potato chips. Made a phone call. They had me to bring the pizza back. They cooked me another pizza. This time, I was with my wife. I bit the pizza. It has no taste to it. This must be under new management. The food didn't taste the same. I threw the pizza in the trash. I thought I would try the Clinton store. The food was much better. They just give you very small sandwiches and a little bit of fries. I don't like giving bad reviews. All I can say. This is not the same Broiler's resurant I loved back in the day! read more

I'm hadn't eaten here in years and decided to stop in for a breakfast sandwich. It took almost 30 minutes to get my order and it was dry and overcooked. I won't bother again. The second star is because they use to be good. read more

I have been a customer of The Broiler for the past 45 years. I love the steak and cheese, fries, and the pizza. Today, I ordered a pizza and my coworker picked it up for me. When I opened the box, I was so surprised to see how my pizza looked. This does not look a like the pizza that I have been eating for the past 45 years. I realize that management and staff will change, but you guys need to be taught how to make it the way it is supposed to be. It didn't even taste right. This was totally unacceptable. The reason why I gave you 3 stars is because I have been a long time customer and have always loved your food and have given you high praises to all of my friends and coworkers. It really should be 5 stars, but you guys need to do better. read more

Cheesesteak was under seasoned and a small portion for the price. The place is quite small though the service was fast and friendly. The Pac-Man machine stole my quarter and the pizza was not something I would have again. Overall I would not come again. read more

Love this place. It is our go to for quick delivery. We have always gotten their cheesesteaks in the past and they have always been delicious and extremely hot. Last thing you want is a cold cheesesteak. Tonight my husband tried their pizza and he couldn't be happier with it. We asked for extra sauce on the base and they did not skimp. All in all, we will keep coming back again and again. read more

The bomb subs. Food is great. Service is good. Ambiance needs to fix the i.side up and make it more inviting.

Pizza is so gross horrible flavors bad sauce to much cheese on a tiny crust no balance but mainly just tasted bad

Heavyweight champ of DMV cheesesteaks. Flavor and sandwich are top notch. The veggies can cut the flavor, if you want traditional Philly go no lettuce and tomato. For me was a nice twist. Food is fresh, portions generous, and staff takes pride in their work. The sense of history and ties to the community make this a landmark in Arlington. Protect this gem with your business! read more

The Broiler's Staff Is Rude and Is Beginning to Take Customers for Granted :( I have been going to the Broiler since childhood (late 70's until now). I've introduced friends and then my children to this Arlington staple -- which I absolutely LOVED until recently. Sometime in the last few years, the establishment has come to take customers for granted. The person who answers the phone for telephone orders is gruff and seems mad that you are ordering. He brushes you off the phone as if you can't stop talking to him fast enough. And ... as if that isn't enough, they have become rude and downright disrespectful behind the counter too. The two little ones literally ignore you standing at the counter to order or pick up food until you ask them. Then, as if you don't matter, there's more waiting while they prepare any amount of food they feel comfortable with while you wait. It will not matter if your food is done or not -- you wait (like "The Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld) -- until they are good and ready to serve you. But wait ...there's more. If you ordered your food via phone they will dismiss you again to the other end of the counter -- to repeat your 10-15 minute wait again! All while your food sits atop the pizza oven. I'm 100% for going to small and local businesses -- but when you come to show your butt and take customer service for granted, I feel the need to remind you that there are OTHER and LESS COSTLY fast food solutions nearby. If this had been the 1st time, I would have let it slide. But it's like the 3rd and I'm over it. My recommendation: Skip the Broiler -- Go to Marios (3322 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201) instead (also local but much better customer appreciation) -- until the Broiler gets their act together or a REALITY CHECK. Signed ... "I'm Not Having It" read more

Great steak and cheese and nice hot crispy fries. Very small establishment but very good food.

Been eating at the Broiler since 2013. My go to place when working at DCA. Great Italian sausage sandwich and in my opinion, the best cheese steak in DC area. Being a Midwesterner I am not a fan of NY style pizza, so the Broilers square pizza really works for me. Sauce is nothing special, but their cheese blend and toppings are great. The only reason I don't give it a fifth star is that it's a total dive; however, that's part of the charm of the place. Also, they have a 80's vintage Ms. Pac Man that only takes $.25 while you're waiting for your food. Highly recommended. read more
