"I used to come here weekly when I worked in the area years ago. I recently was in the peninsula, so I made a point of stopping by for lunch. When I walked in, the interior looked completely different. I 'm not sure how long ago it was done, but there was significant remodeling. The kitchen area is no longer open for viewing due to all the new signage. There 's a new, large bar-height table. The restaurant felt a little cramped from before. They had TV screen menus too, so it doesn 't really have the old school feel anymore. Unfortunately, the food wasn 't the same either. And it all came down to the bread roll. It was sliced open, but not enough. Looking down on it, it looked great. But looking at the side profile, it was very V-shaped, with most of the meat at the top and very little on the bottom. This made it difficult to eat because it was so uneven. The top was too thick to get a clean bite out of. And subsequently the bottom bites were 90% bread. On top of that, the bread was much thicker overall than it used to be. So the proportions were completely off. Flavor and meat quality was still good. But they should really work on getting those proportions dialed back in. That is so key in determining what makes any sandwich good. Pricing is slightly higher than other cheesesteak places I 've been to recently. But nothing crazy high, relatively. Pricing is up everywhere, so it is what it is. I 'll probably give them another shot eventually, for old times ' sake. But for now, I won 't be going out of my way to grab a bite here."

"Arrived early and was promptly seated. Table wobbled. Our server. Menu was a qsr code/ online. Had 5G service and was having a hard time getting internet service. Staff brought out menus that were priced and item outdated. Waitress arrived to take our drink order. 2 water with lemon and a Coke. She came back what seemed like an forever later with 2 waters with a lemon and a water. Wrong order! She didn’t go over anything on the menu at all. We started to order 2 Checker Cabs with onion rings each and a Checker Cab with french fries, 2 Buckeye shake and 1 Pippen Shake. Our shakes arrived first. The shakes were perfect. Our food arrived later delivered by a different server and was missing an order of onion rings. After waiting my wife gets up and had to go up front by the door to track down our server to discuss the onion rings. Again what seemed like forever later is and after my sandwich was cold is when my onion rings arrived. At this time I asked for the check. When our server came back with the check I just handed her my credit card. Our bill came out to be $107.00 and I only gave the server a $6.00 tip. She was lucky to get that. The server that made the shakes the were freaking awesome I handed a $20.00 tip and said “Thank You so very much”. So in a nut shell, food is over priced for what it is. Certain services stand in a group at the front door instead of tending to the customers already sitting at the tables. Place was not super busy as the only thing standing and waiting was the food getting cold at the window. Those shakes were great!!!!!"
