Frequently asked questions about Cheese Steak Shop
Cheese Steak Shop Livermore Reviews
Cheese steaks are either good or not. This spots solid. Ordered the hoagie. Cheese steak sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. Ordered large. A “full size” versus a long would be double the meat and cheese. The cheese steak is cheesy and meaty with bread, produce and mayo. Good fix for when you want a cheese steak. The only critique is the curly fry order feel a bit small for a portion size. Otherwise, would 100% come back when I want a cheese steak.
Used to frequent this as well as the others, Pleasanton and Walnut Creek, until i moved to the centeal valley. I was a bit confused after not dining here for some time, due to the menu change, the sandwiches all go by their names now. The product? AMAZING as is has been The service was excellent too and the dining facilities were clean. The only bad thing? Someone had urinated all over the men's room toilet. It was everywhere, on the seat, floor, wall, the back part. I was surprised it wasn't on the ceiling. Must have been a prank. Either way...the food was perfect.
Sincerely the best cheesesteak I’ve had since moving away from Philly. The staff were professional, courteous and timely. I highly recommend this establishment
Absolutely delicious !!! Ordered and had it ready exactly 15 minutes later. The cheesesteak hoggie is the go to! If your looking to get stuffed and have a fantastic experience this is the go to place Curly fries were crispy. Cheese steak was made perfectly! Even took a selfie it made me so happy Will be back!
The African cashier gentleman was supper kind and helpful.

Easy to order online and nice and quick pickup. I've been here a few times and always enjoyed my sandwich. Wish there was one closer to where I live.
It might be a small shop but great cheesesteaks are made here! The sandwiches are delicious 😋
Food is always hot and fresh. Great customer service, clean store and condiments, napkins and utensils in a location that can be seen. No matter what time you go it's consistent. Just please don't show up 10 minutes before closing, these people work hard and would like to go home at a decent hour I'm sure.
My son and I were pleasantly surprised how good this Cheese steak was and we will be coming back for more.
The staff made it a whole vibe playing old school funk music. They were super helpful and polite even being pretty busy with only 2 guys working at the time we were there. Food was delicious as usual. We don't have a Cheese Steak Shop in the central valley so stopping here was a treat.

Always great food and service at this location. The place doesn't have many tables to eat at, but is great to go.

I'm a fan of this chain restaurant. Been eating the food for years. I've been to this location a few times and always have had a good experience. I always get the cheese steak with grilled onions and both hot and sweet peppers.
Let me start by saying this is THE BEST Philly Cheese Steak I have had in a looong time. I ordered The Classsic Philly Cheese Steak and was not disappointed. The steak was flavorful, the onions & peppers were sweet. The cheese sauce & the bread were the stars of the show and really tie it all together. The steak fries are hearty. We didn't wait in line and there was plenty of seating for a week night. I can imagine on a Friday or Saturday night there would be a healthy crowd. We will definitely be back to try another Philly Cheesesteak.
Definitely not the place to go to for vegan or vegetarian food, but the fries were good, which is about all we could get there. Employees were really friendly, when we called before we arrived to ask if onion rings were free of animal products - eggs/milk - the kind gentleman with whom we spoke checked and informed us they contained milk & apologized. We thank him for letting us know and being so pleasant about it. Free parking lot, interior looked clean & comfortable, they do have the best sweet peppers we've ever had!

Usually one of my favorite places to go for a quick lunch. Food is hot and fresh. I unfortunately had a not so great experience recently where I waited for a while to pick up a call in order but it is not the norm for this place. I recommend you try it for yourself.

Typically I have a fantastic experience, however this time it was clear as day I was served re-fried tater tots. Warm but soggy yet also taste overcooked. If you mess up an order dont reheat it and give it to the next customer. I will ALWAYS be checking the quality of my food before leaving the store from now on. Disappointed in the staff who usually seem very attentive and dedicated.
The food was great. The reason why im rating it a 1 star is because i was very grossed out by one thing. The woman at the register took our order and she was wearing a pair of gloves. She took my cash with the same pair of gloves. She then goes and puts some fries down with the same pair of gloves. She then picks up the phone with the same pair of gloves. She then goes and prepares the sandwiches with THE SAME PAIR OF GLOVES. At this point I was very grossed out. Those gloves touched way too many things by the time she touched our food. Then she continued on doing various things and i never saw her changing her gloves. Right after i finished my food my stomach was upset.

My first visit to Cheese Steak Shop, first order ever: Ordered only onion rings. Waited 15min inside, just got this: deep burned last week's onion rings. Stay away from this shop

Terrible. Sandwich tasted like a frozen philly cheesesteak from the grocery store. Uneven distribution of meat between the two sandwich halves. Sandwich roll was a bit dry and hard at the ends. Chicken fritters were burnt. Curly fry portion was less than a handful. Spent $80 at this establishment. Will not return.
Very sad to have to say that this location has gone extremely down hill with their choice of recent employees. Because they can’t change the TASTE of the food it’s not terrible but the way the sandwich is put together is very poor, along with the attitude of the man pretty much always taking orders. This is the last stop of cheesesteak shops driving back to the Central Valley, so I’m sure they get a ton of people who drive over 40 minutes just to eat at this location. Maybe one day they will consider opening one in the Central Valley but for now this is the last stop and it’s no longer worth it.
the meat was salty this time and the bread was soggy. I wanted pepper on my sandwich. the put them in little containers. and the onion rings were burnt. I called them and told them once I got home. all he said was ok
They don't know how too ring up people ordered cheese steaks with combo she wanted too charge for fries on top of combo price somehow came out to 29.54
I have been going to this place off and on for 10 years. I love the food. The service has varied from weak to horrible. They seem to change managers or owners every year, they have all been bad. Maybe it is how the place is organized but every time my order is made wrong or I wait 30 minutes and they didnt realise I was there.I will give it a try in another 6-8 months.

This is why they don't have any business. I called to order sandwiches some woman told me to hold on and slammed the phone down and never came back. I called a couple more times and the line was busy. I drove all the way across town and there she was in the refrigerator stuffing her mouth full of something with only one customer in the restaurant. I turned around and left. Wont cone back.
