    Half Motown Philly (Beef, Onions, Peppers, and Mushrooms) with Curly Fries
    Mike L.

    While I never had it all that often, I always had a go-to spot whenever I had the craving for a cheesesteak. However, with my first one having shuttered a few years back and my more recent one closing just a few months ago, I've had to embark on a (potentially delicious) hunt to find a new go-to spot! First up on the hit list? The ever so aptly named The Cheese Steak Shop! Coincidentally, much like my past haunts, The Cheese Steak Shop is in a plaza that's not all that busy, so parking here is super easy. Inside, the look and vibe of this place definitely feels like a chain, but it's far from a fast food chain. As for the menu, there's a surprising wealth of options to choose from. Not only can you choose from beef or chicken for your cheesesteak, as well as the type of cheese/cheese whiz, but there are over a dozen different styles/combinations to choose from as well, including a couple of vegetarian varieties. They also offer a "king" size, which is a large with 50% more meat and cheese, and a variety of salads, sides, and a kids menu if you want something lighter. -- MOTOWN PHILLY with Beef, Onions, Peppers, Provolone Cheese, and Sliced Mushrooms This was pretty solid. The peppers were a bit overpowering, but what I could taste complemented each other well. The mushrooms had a nice bite to them and I liked the gooiness of the provolone. I just wish there was more beef (though, that's always true). -- CURLY FRIES These were great! The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but, more importantly, they weren't at all oily. The portion was generous, but I could've easily downed more. -- PIZZA STEAK with Beef, Onions, Peppers, Pepperoni, Pizza Sauce, and Provolone Not perfect, but I liked this better than the Motown. I could've done with less pizza sauce, but the pepperoni went really well with the beef to give it a little more spice and meatiness while also holding up against the peppers. -- TATER TOTS If I had to choose, the curly fries were better, but these weren't too shabby either. Similarly, the tots weren't at all greasy and have a nice, potato-y flavor, but I do wish they had been crispier. Regardless of whatever cheesesteak you get with whatever meat (or vegetables) in it, quite possibly the best thing about The Cheese Steak Shop's cheesesteaks just might be the Italian roll they use. Not only is it incredibly soft, but I love how it's just slightly crusty and how it soaks up all of the meat/sauce/juices so well. Plus, service is great as well - all of the guys who were manning the register/kitchen were super friendly. All in all, while I don't think The Cheese Steak Shop is quite as good as either of my old go-to spots, it wouldn't be unreasonable to say they've already staked out a strong claim to be my new go-to spot. Even if another spot should happen to surpass them, given how good the food has been and how convenient it is to come here, there's a better than likely chance I'll be back to try more of the menu!

    SERVICE: counter style, attentive AMBIANCE: clean and open FLAVORS: King, large (4/5) - they wished grilled peppers was an option Philly Joe, half (5/5) PORTIONS: filling and hearty PRICE: appropriate BONUS TIP: they have sweet peppers and hot peppers - no just regular grilled bell peppers

    Very friendly employees when ordering. We have been to Philly over 40 times and these cheesesteaks tasted just like being there!! The Amoroso's rolls are what make it a true authentic cheesesteak!! This was deliciousness with each bite. Tried to save some for the next day but they were way too good. I loved all the pics of all the cheesesteak places from Philly! What a nice touch. If we are ever back in this area again we will definitely be stopping in here again!!

    King Classic Philly Cheese Steak (Half)

    Philly in Daly City! I travel to Philly for work, so I've tried about 10 of the top cheesesteaks in the city. To me, The Cheesesteak Shop is as good as many of the shop, and better than some. This spot is the real deal. These cheesesteaks are so delicious, we find ourselves craving it all the time. The meat is tender, flavorful, and well seasoned. The cheese is melty, packed with flavor. Finally the roll is soft and soaks up some of the rib eye juices. Tip, get the king size for extra meat. It gives you the higher meat to bread ratio. Also, order on the app to reduce the wait time.

    Solid cheese steak spot! One of the only cheese steak shops that actually pack the sandwich with meat. My little sister said she enjoys the chicken more than the steak, but i tried it and thought it was solid. Waitress was very kind and inside is small, but there is seating if you wanted to dine in with some tables! Would definitely recommend to those who are craving a cheese steak and want to get their money's worth! ALSO wanted to mention their sweet and spicy peppers anddd their ranch are to die for and absolutely necessary 4 any order!

    The BEST cheese steak in the entire Bay Area, and it isn't even close! Absolutely delicious. Fries were very good as well - zero oil taste. Will be back to grab another cheese steak soon...

When I looked at the online ordering, it said it would take about 20 minutes, and my hotel was about a 20 minute ride away, so that worked out perfectly. I ordered the Sheriff and some seasoned fries and got on the road. Both the burger and fries were hearty and hit the spot. Overall, this perfectly nails a 4-star experience. The burger wasn't some kind of next level amazing, but it was just a perfectly enjoyable way to end my 4 days in the Bay Area. Hidden Spot is essentially the kitchen portion of a dive bar. I sat at a table with only one other patron in the place around 11am on a Saturday morning. The other patron was enjoying the ability to be fully in charge of the digital juke box while I was enjoying stuffing my face.

Home cooked burgers at the City Grill with great light night conversation... I'm looking forward to trying the mu shoe pork at the chinese restaurant but the Home cooked meats and mashed potatoes at the grocery store keep diverting me because they have that Cool Mexican half leader soda in a glass bottle.

Plus I rent cds free at the library next-door with the frisbee Park and BMX track that my dog likes. I have to cut and paste this review for the other places so you may see it somewhere else cause I'm not just gonna rewrite a separate one for each Cool place.

We opted for a couple of vanilla/chocolate swirls instead. The milkshakes came out first - they were on the thicker side so we had to wait a bit for it to melt first, but otherwise were creamy, sweet, and delicious. The kids enjoyed their meals - the small mouth burger came with additional toppings like pickles and onions on the side. The sliders were plain. My giants burger came out initially with no onion rings but the staff proactively realized their mistake and brought this out to me on the side. However, they also forgot the BBQ sauce that was supposed to come with it, which would have been a nice touch. The patty was a bit on the salty side. All the meals had fries on the side, with the giants burger coming with garlic/parmesan fries.
