Delicious food, large servings. It’s a take out only place but there are a few stools to sit on.

All I can say, lots of tasty meat 🥩! I was eating cheese steak for days 😊 Friendly atmosphere and worth the visit.

My sister put me on! Get the Cheesesteak and don't argue....No condiments needed! Rib-eye steak, fried onions, peppers, cheese...piled high! Your mouth ain't big enough to take a single bite. My sister and a guy from NJ say the fish is something serious. Think $20 per person

The beef brisket was very flavorful and delicious. The spare ribs were flavorful. They were tender but not too off bone. I like the texture. Hubby loves the phily cheese steak. I am not the fan so I didn’t eat it. The employee was very friendly and patient. Plenty parking at the front door. Recommend!
