    Great cheese steak. I live in downtown Baltimore and I drive out here 25min to get it. The owner is very nice and will talk to you while he's making it. He's friendly with everyone. It's mostly busy on weekends late at night. I always take out but there's a good seating area if you want to eat there. Definitely recommended.

    If you haven't been...you are missing out. This place is delicious. I think it's the best cheese steak I've ever had. It's so well seasoned! The place is pretty quaint. The man working was incredibly nice. It was a fun, fast & delicious food option. And they get extra points for being so kind to my kids. Oh and yes they liked the cheese steaks too. Ate it all up. My husband and I got the "real thing" with this red sauce. It was a little spicy but not that intense. Just gave it a good kick. My kids shared a regular cheese steak. Honestly both are delicious. Go there now.

    What's the number for the local health department? I watched the worker whom I suppose is the owner accept a cash payment, return the change, wipe his shirt then grab fresh bread to be sliced with his bare-hands. He will touch knobs, his shirt, your cheese in a 3 second timespan. Never eating there again.

    I wouldn't say the best cheesesteak, but it is good. Bring cash, unless you're fine with a dollar credit fee. It was quiet when we went, so the service was fine. If parking was easier, I'd go more often. Great if you live in walking distance.

    Overpriced and not all that special... prices online differ from what’s in store. I can get a better bang for my buck at Jersey Mike’s. The inside of the store is also super outdated and dirty... maybe do some remodeling with all the extra fees you’re charging people???
