A small, unpretentious cafe that you normally wouldn't notice. Absolutely the best sandwiches I've ever had, makes all the large chain shops look awful. I'll never go to Subway again. I highly recommend the Italian sub, it's totally awesome. Also, the French fries are delicious. read more

OMG! I drove by this place all the time thank god me & my friend Anna stopped in to finally try it out & the Philly cheese steak was AMAZING we sat down and ate inside and Alex took care of us so well he was the server and the cook and that dude can cook a Philly cheesesteak as good as Gino's in Philadelphia, People if your looking for an amazing cheesesteak I recommend stopping in & checking it out. WOW THE ORIGINAL WITH CHEESE WIZ ON TOP SO SO GOOD 5 food and service read more

This review is specifically for the food truck, which came out to my neighborhood. It was delicious. The original was tasty and packed a little spice/heat. The chicken bacon and ranch had good flavor. The loaded tots were perhaps my favorite with lots of flavor and a good dipping sauce. The bacon cheese fries were also terrific. The chicken tenders and fries were my kids absolute favorite. My child said they were the best she's ever had! Definitely check this place out. read more

Randomly came across this place on Instagram, it's only about a half hour from my house so came here for lunch. I HIGHLY suggest it! The dude working the counter was very nice, polite and has a great personality for workin with people. I ordered the original cheesesteak & fries and it was phenomenal! Bread was SUPER soft, sandwich had tons of flavor with the meat, cheese and peppers. Fries were excellent and FRESH. I actually used to live close to Philly and this was SPOT ON as a legit sandwich right out of Philly. Anyway... yes, don't hesitate be sure to come get your belly full. A+++ read more

The Original Steaks and Hoagies - Lorain - Large original cheesesteak with whiz - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Lorain, Ohio

I'll say this. When I visited, the portions were good. BUT the taste ruins it. They mix the cheese in with the meat while it is cooking, which tastes gross, and they chop the meat up so much, that it seems almost minced. This has potential to be good, but they just don't know how to make cheesesteaks right. read more

Having eaten at both Gino's and Pat's in Philadelphia, I was excited to see this restaurant open up near our home. We stopped at 11:30 on a Wednesday and were the only customers. We definitely wanted to try an original with onions and Whiz. We ordered a large to split, with chips and a drink. Price was just over $11. Makes no sense to order a small at $8 when the large is $9. I could have actually eaten the large myself, but for lunch, sharing was a good idea. The person at the register was not a happy employee and certainly not someone I would want representing my business. I did not feel welcome. Our food came out really quickly and the bread was fresh and the sandwich was nice and hot. The sandwich was good and I would return and possibly try some of the other options they have. read more

The food just doesn't have any taste. When I went there, there was no one that came in the entire time and I was there for an hour. No flavor at all. read more

Salty awful mess. When I eat at places like this I expect the food to be salty but this was really bad. There was so much extra salt dumped on the fries and in the loaded tots they were inedible. The cheesesteaks were a mediocre goopy mess. Not particularly fresh tasting or memorable. The food truck was at an event we attended earlier this year. That was actually quite good. This location was no comparison. read more

My first time eating here at the Original hoagie. It's very good. I ordered the original, without onions. It is shredded steak with sweet and hot peppers and I chose provolone cheese. The peppers give it a nice kick and the small size was plenty for me. I added onion rings, wow, those were great! Super crunchy! The rings come with spicy mayo. I will definitely be back to try more on their menu. I hear the whizzy tots are delicious read more

Walked in just now to find out they are out of fries..... What the hell???? This is my second time here, first time was an order of cajun fried pickles. There was a bit more breading than pickle and was equal to par on flavor and price. Oh well just another chain read more

We have gone there many times. The hoagies are either very good or just OK. It depends on who is cooking. Either way they are better than most sub places. They taste much better if you eat them there. But they are still doing mainly carryout. read more

This place reminds me of when I was in Philly for work. The Original is my favorite and delicious. The staff has always been very kind and helpful. read more

Great Steak! I've been to all of the classics in Philly while visiting my brother. The quality of ingredients is top notch!

Fries are really good! The steak sandwiches are tasty I will definitely go back when I'm jonesing a philly! If you Like it cheesy order extra cheese they use shredded & it's gets lost chopped in the steak. read more

Great food and great service. I recommend any of the cheesesteaks and you gotta try the whizzy tots! Can't wait to go back and try more!

Awesome Philly cheesesteak and the wizzy tots are great too! They were crazy busy when we were there but the wait wasn't long and the food was great!!! Friendly staff, very clean we will definitely be back! read more

Oh my goodness. That original cheesesteak sandwich was worth the 15min I waited for it and more. I genuinely couldn't get enough! The bread, the meat, the cheese...*chefs kiss* read more

Good quality beef, bread and even cheese!! Got loaded fries (bacon cheese ranch and Philly cheesesteak) and both were heart attack worthy. Good food and sandwiches in you're looking for a cheat meal! read more

Wasn't worth the price, wanted a cheesesteak and got a tiny drizzle of cheese. Way over priced, will not return. Mr. Hero cheesteak is way better read more

I've been to Philadelphia. Had a cheese steak while there. It didn't hold a candle to this one. The cheese steak we had was amazing! There were four of us that had the cheese steaks and we all agreed this was phenomenal. Can't wait to eat it again! read more

Went there last night for the first time. Service was super slow and one of the cheesesteaks was the black and blue but they just put steak on the bun and nothing else. We didn't find out until we came home so it's too late to turn around. I'll look elsewhere next time. read more

Have been a few time always good. My fiancé grew up in south Jersey so he Knows cheesesteak. Good food! read more

They forgot my provolone on my sandwich and they forgot to take the hot pepper off my wife's salad .i would probably order jimmy john's next time read more

A TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT! I lived in Philadelphia for 13 years and the Ultimate Cheese Steak with Provolone without Salami (who thought of that?) had no resemblance to a Philly Cheese Steak...and $10???!!! It was dry with a "hard, dried, tiny KNOT of meat". Cheese was indistinguishable and lettuce & tomato didn't deserve honorable mention. I actually think the ball of meat was cooked hours before; I say that because I live nearby, but the sandwich was cold when I got home. My son lives further away and even ran an errand before going home but his sandwich was still hot. He, too, was disappointed because it didn't have much meat (nor anything else), and was dry. Original Steaks & Hoagies on Leavitt Rd Lorain - Never more! read more

Wonderful addition to Lorain. We got the original cheesesteaks with an order of fresh cut fries and o rings. Cheesesteaks came out perfect! Piping hot with the perfect amount of melted provolone and cheese whiz paired with onions, mushrooms, and hot and sweet peppers. The spicy mayo was a delicious pairing with the o rings. The owner was very friendly and was very excited about the work he was doing. We will definitely be back again. read more

The Original Steaks and Hoagies - Lorain - Delicious original cheesesteaks and fresh cut fries - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Lorain, Ohio

This place is phenomenal. I've had the original, a buddy had the hangover steak, my wife has gotten the chicken bacon ranch sandwich, and among a bunch of other stuff on the menu. It is always great, and the staff are good people. The beer batter fry have old Bay seasoning on them and are fantastic and by far my favorite side. They have four taps with draft beer and many others in bottles and cans so you can enjoy a cold one with your cheesesteak. I keep trying to talk them into doing a food challenge cheesesteak, like a 2ft long one, I know me and a few others would definitely try it. If you haven't been here yet check it out, they even deliver on Door Dash. read more

Great food, nice staff. Some of the best Philly cheese steak I've ever had, and I've had TRUE Philly cheese steaks. Wednesday nights there's a free kids meal with the purchase of a large Philly cheese steak, and on Sunday you can get 4 large cheese steaks with sides and drinks for $32.00. read more

Tried it the other night. Fair at best. Small sandwich with wiz was $8. It tasted better than a Steak Um, but not nearly as good as a Mr. Hero steak sandwich or Sizzler Steak you buy frozen at Wal-Mart. Service was good just the food was average read more

Got an Original Cheesesteak to go...great sub, a lot of flavor. Worth trying this place!! I will definitely be back

Husband and I went there for the first time on Sunday and were extremely disappointed. Waited 10 minutes just to order and another 30 for our food while the people behind us got theirs rather quickly. Sandwich was nothing but fat completely inedible. I ordered the whizzy tots completely burnt! The smell was horrible I was almost sick. Husband got the loaded fries nothing but grease. Service sucks the food sucks. Emailed the managers still haven't heard back. Definitely will not recommend or be back!!! I'll stick with the steak sub from Sheetz 100 times better!!!! read more

Been wanting to try this place since they opened. Finally did today and I was pretty disappointed. My green peppers weren't fresh and tasted "off" and the mushrooms looked and tasted like canned. Didn't even finish half my sandwich. Fries were good though. read more

This place will be closed within a year. $5 for 5 onion rings. I was there at around 6pm on a Friday night and it was empty. If you want a sub, go to Jimmy Johns. If you want a cheesesteak, go to Mr. Hero. They also have beer, but who goes to a sandwich shop for a beer?? read more

Food was good but pricey 28 dollars for 2 large cheese steak 9 a piece, a large fry and one drink. Cheesesteaks were delicious didnt have mayo but I heard someone after me ask for it I just didnt know to ask myself. Would go back just not all the time they should adjust prices or have specials. You can go to chipotle or brown bag which are local for the same price and have leftovers to take home. Restaurant was very busy after only being open 3 days with return customers so that says something in itself. Solid 4 star only because of price. read more
