Cheese steaks are either good or not. This spots solid. Ordered the hoagie. Cheese steak sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. Ordered large. A "full size" versus a long would be double the meat and cheese. The cheese steak is cheesy and meaty with bread, produce and mayo. Good fix for when you want a cheese steak. The only critique is the curly fry order feel a bit small for a portion size. Otherwise, would 100% come back when I want a cheese steak. read more

I'm not a huge expert of cheesesteaks, but I'm a lover of all things food. This place was not too bad. Flavor was pretty good, portion sizing was just right. The meat itself tasted well seasoned, with just the right ratio of peppers and onions. Bread was fine. What I really was disappointed in were the taters. I love my fries/tots and they have to complement my meal perfectly. When they came out, I just knew they were gonna be junk. You can tell they were way too overcooked, and the oil tasted old. I only had a few pieces and stopped myself, otherwise risk getting sick. The place is fine if you're in the mood and in the area. read more

Been craving cheesesteaks for a while now. Got recommended this spot by my brother. The cheese steak was really good. The bread was toasted well. The steak and cheese combo was really good. The chopped peppers were spectacular, really went well and put everything together. The cashier or front person was really friendly and out going, he asked how my day ass and always had a smile during our quick interaction. The ambiance was alright. I didn't not get a look good inside the restaurant because I had called a head before ordering. It is a small and mighty place in the North Livermore area. Overall I give this restaurant a 4/5 star review. This has to be the better cheese steaks I have tried thus far. read more

This is as close as you can get to a classic cheesesteak outside of Philly. If I'm undecided on what to get during lunch, I'll usually end up here. Today, I was on my way to get a chicken sandwich and couldn't decide between Chick-fil-A or Popeyes and somehow my car ended up here. I've tried both Pat's and Gino's yet I have a preference for the Cheese Steak Shop and luckily we have a few in the Bay Area. Usually the Hubbs and I will share a large cheesesteak and a large steak fries with extra sweet peppers. If it's just me, I'll have mushrooms added. My small attempt at being healthier! read more

Food was good, just feels overpriced for the size of the sandwich you get. Overall decent place to get a cheesesteak.

My husband use to eat here all the time as he was out in the field and when he went this direction, he grabbed a sandwich. We were on our way home and got off the freeway to have a meal. My first time... Lots of parking and the dining room wasn't too busy when we showed up. It got busy after we started eating though. My husband got the original KING and I got the Western large. I am not a pepper/onion fan, so it was just meat, bbq sauce, 2 onion rings and cheese. The meat was tender, great flavor and perfect amount of sauce. I was able to pull the onion out of the middle of the o-rings so that was great. We both had fries with our meal. The portion size was huge for a large sandwich, I wrapped up the 2nd half and brought it home. The dining room and restroom were clean. Fun upbeat music playing. The best part of the visit was the gentleman behind the counter that helped us. What a spoonful of sugar this guy was. Excellent service, pleasant and overall great person. He then brought us our lunch and was sure to send us off with a hearty goodbye. Overall great experience! read more

Just went to this location with my husband. Placed our order. Sat down to wait. Got our order and mine was wrong. My husband took it back up front, no problem, they were remaking it. I got it and it was perfect. Fries were good, my husbands was good, so no complaints about the food. So what's my complaint? Whoever was in charge was berating his employees at the front. At one point, the lady worker was trying to apologize for whatever it was that he was mad at and he literally told her to just stop talking. Another time he pointed to his ears and asked her if she could hear what he was saying. Both my husband and I are in supervisory positions in jobs that mistakes can kill a person, but neither of us would ever talk to a human being the way this man did. And clearly, he thinks it's okay because he continued to do it in front of us. I will not give this location another penny of mine. read more

We used to eat at The Cheese Steak Shop regularly but do to a bad experience at the San Ramon location we completely stopped going. We were in Livermore and decided to give this one a try. It was late, it was closing soon and I didn't have high hopes. First the shop is very small but very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Trip took time with us to make sure we ordered the right items. The manager Jesus was very nice and listened to us about our bad experience with the San Ramon location and did everything to make sure we had a great experience. Food came quick they didn't try to rush us out cause they were closing soon. Hubby orders king of the Philly and I got a half. Food was fresh and delicious. The thick steak fries were cooked to perfection. Now that we now how great this location is we will definitely be back for more. Shout out to the staff at this location you guys are awesome! read more

I'm not a connoisseur of Philly cheesesteaks by any means but I do know I love the cheesesteaks here! I generally go with the classic Philly , although the variations are tasty too. What drove me to write this review is the service, particularly the gal (Chyanne) working the register-- she is always so friendly! Whether I place an order in person or on the phone, she is always professional and friendly, asks to confirm the toppings I want, and never makes me feel rushed. The gentleman handling pickup orders greets everyone when they walk in and makes sure to say goodbye to folks on the way out. I appreciate the politeness! There's actually quite a bit of seating here...I'm counting 32 chairs (seven 4-tops, and two 2-tops). I recommend this place if you need a comfort food, quick, sandwichy meal! read more

Love their cheese steaks here, but their service is SUPER SLOW, make sure you have 30-45 mins extra to spare for your lunch break. It took them 40 mins to get me my basic order this was at 11:00am, it's now 11:45am and I still don't have my order. All it takes is one time to get crappy slow service for me no to come back to this location. How you only going to have one cook and one slow ass helper/register person during lunchtime? read more

I was in the area and looking for a sandwich. This was the closest thing I could find. I got the classic. Good ingredients with soft bread. I really liked the peppers that had a little heat. Casual place for a quick meal. Fast food type of service. read more

Here is why I will not be eating here, it's rather simple. I'm not giving you my name, email, and phone number to get a sandwich. I can tell you for a fact that not taking Apple Pay or another easy methods is costing you sales. Do what you want with that. read more

I've been coming to the Cheesesteak shop since the 90's. I stop into the Livermore one for takeout on my way home every now & then as it's right off highway 580. I came most recently on Friday the 12th for a few cheesesteaks. My go to is the mushroom cheesesteak, light onions, hot & sweet peppers. To me you kind of have to go light on those or it just makes the sandwich too big. I always get the king, as it's more meat & more cheese. Now if I'm having these 3-4 times a year, I'm going to do it right and get the king. Cheesesteak shop to me is best version of cheesesteak you can get in NorCal, most other places lack in either meat, cheese, bread quality or combos of those. I'll keep coming here, they have good cheesesteaks and are a convenient location too. read more

What I ordered and what Ubereats transmitted to you, I have no control over. In any case, $5.94 for nine fries? Call it large/medium/small ... call it what you like, you charged me almost $6 for what amounts to about 1/4 or a potato. Beyond that, if a third-party is not representing the value of your product, why are you doing business with them? Assuming what you assert is true, they are tarnishing your image. I have no way of knowing they are adding 25% onto my order. I ordered from your page on UE. You're telling me UE maintains your menu on their platform? I seriously doubt that. Those prices are defined by your company. If you are going to increase the price of your items to compensate for what Uber may be charging you, you should disclose that. I'm sure your explanation was intended to appease me. It did the opposite. read more

The spot must be under new ownership or new employees or something of a sort because I've never gotten a worse sandwich ever from the cheesecake shop. Brown pebble crumbles of meat. Cheese was not what it used to be, and very minimal as well as the bell peppers that I added to order was extra Neal and void two pieces of green pepper Absolutely mortified after spending almost $80 on three sandwiches for me and the guys who we frequent via DoorDash. I'm sure any of these gentlemen that eat lunch together whatever eat from the Portola cheesecake facility again. Not asking for a refund coupons or anything else just advising That's my last $80 lunchbox for Garbage food stale bread non-meat looking brown crumbles. Thanks, but no thanks once bitten twice shy. read more

They messed up my order completely but it all still tasted great. I think they may have given me someone else's order because of how far off it was, but we moth still like our subs. Also, we ordered kind portions which were pricey, but they delivered on the meat. Could made another sub! 4 stars for messing up my order. read more

I love the Cheese Seal Shoo. If you can afford it, it's worth the money. The food is hot and prepared fast.

Drove almost two hours to get a cheese steak sandwich and was planning on taking one to go using my cheese steak card that was all stamped out for a free sandwich but to my surprise I was told it would not be honored.. I been holding on to the car waiting for my next time I would return to city and I finally made it back to Livermore ca.. I was so disappointed... I believe it should have been honored but because it wasn't I will not be returning ever again. read more

The cheesesteak was absolutely delicious, juicy, flavorful, and made just right. We did have to wait about 25 minutes for our order, but honestly, it was worth every second. When food is this good, you know it's being made with care. They take their time, and it shows. Always worth the wait when the quality is consistently great! read more

The Cheese Steak Shop - Classic Philly Cheese Steak, half portion with sweet peppers only. My favorite! - Sandwiches Near Me - Livermore, California

I would give it a zero on service my boyfriend and I waited over an hour for our food. For the lady then to say she was calling his name out and we didn't hear her which is a straight out lie we were the only ones in there sitting directly next to the counter!! So even if we didn't hear her why wouldn't she hand it to us or tell us! Then to get home and they also made it bad! Such a terrible experience! read more

Came here after work, food was on point! Service was quick. One of the best sandwich joints in all of Livermore

W always order from here and get our food within 15 minutes. Tonight the Dasher waited for 30 minutes. They told us that the tater tots were burned and they had to re cook them. When we got the order the sandwiches were completely not what we ordered, ice cold and the newly cooked tater tots were old and cold. We were obviously given hours old random sandwiches-maybe because we called to see what was taking longer than usual? Totally unacceptable read more

Just poor customer service. Unfortunate because I really like the food. Sucks to see a classic place like this be held back by something easy to fix like a positive working attitude. Hopefully management can look to correct this. read more

Completely disappointing! Sizzling pig with spinach and sweet peppers. Barely any cheese or sweet peppers. Meat was dry and diced so small it was like ground beef for tacos read more

I guess it's under new owners so the past reviews don't really reflect the place now. Ordered a large Motown. Bread was fresh, everything was hot. The peppers were a nice combo of sweet and hot (not too hot). Fries were hot and generous. Great alternative to burgers. read more

Burnt onion rings again. Come on now. You know when something is edible and when something is stright up burnt. How about you stop gabbing with your coworkers and pay attention to the food being cooked. They seemed to be frazzled and struggling with the Gubhub orders coming in. Definitely my last time here. read more

The cheesesteak shop is under new management and the food has been so on point! Tons of meat, rolls are fresh, and the curly fries and sweet potato fries are so yummy! The employees are friendly and helpful! If you haven't been recently, give it a go...it's better than it was! read more

Not understanding the low rating. Cheesesteak was every bit as good as what I've had in Philadelphia. For those who've had them in PA, they make them in the same style as Jim's on South St. complete with the Amoroso roll. Ordered the King of Philly, which was more than enough to fill you up. Peppers added both a sweet and spicy flavor to the sandwich. Will definitely return. read more

After a long day of work and heavy traffic theres nothing better than great friendly service. Just left at 7pm, 12/18, and theres a friendly black man and a young white woman with plugs in her ears who are always amazing! Give them a raise. Oh of course the cheese steaks are always fire. read more

Food is always satisfying... I drive here from Tracy just to get great Philly steak sandwich & it never disappoints

Went here for lunch and was expecting it to be amazing considering I haven't had a cheesesteak in a while! Definitely did not get the results I was looking for. The girls were nice but the sandwich was halfway done and the cheese wasn't even melted. I noticed they were to busy talking and gossiping while making orders. My suggestion is hire staff who are coming to serve customers and who actually care about the food they are providing and serving. No one should ever come here for their lunch and receive a half cooked sandwich. read more

Bummer on the other reviews. But I had a good experience coming in for a takeout The Gilroy. They were slammed but the 2 staffers were really dialed in with what they were doing. The cook was on it as was the lady taking & putting orders together. She was really professional for someone under a lot of pressure. She took the time - to say she'll be with you, greet you when ready, take your order and thank you. There were people coming in line with the online orders that they both really managed well. Their formula is pretty consistent and it was exactly what I remember. Quite satisfied with my The Gilroy cheese steak. The bathroom was clean and the whole shop was too for people who were slammed. They did well by me. And no one could say they were working hard, they were. Their communication was well done between the two of them to get customers taken care of. read more
