“Delicious food, large servings. It’s a take out only place but there are a few stools to sit on.”
— Steve Goodwin“All I can say, lots of tasty meat 🥩! I was eating cheese steak for days 😊 Friendly atmosphere and worth the visit.”
— Keshia Garnett“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”
— A. J.“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!”
— Jane JingWe're primarily takeout only, but we do have a few counter stools available for quick dining.
Most customers spend around $20 per person, though our portions are large enough to share or save for later.
Absolutely! Many customers prefer to control their sauce portions, especially with our brisket sandwiches.
Our rib-eye cheesesteaks are legendary, but the beef brisket and spare ribs are also customer favorites.
