I’ve been coming here for 15 years. This is top of the town. If you think a “Philly” cheesesteak is what you want... Get yourself a Bethlehem Cheesesteak. Order it Regular, get the pickles and their own recipe sauce! I’ll really respect you and trust you know what you’re doing if you order curly fries and wash it down with an A-Treat Cream Soda. Otherwise, go wait in South Philly for your slab of meat.

Went there today for an Italian sub. IT WAS MASSIVE!!! And delicious. Loved every part of it from the bread to the meat they packed it with. My favorite place for subs now.

Probably the best cheesesteak in Bethlehem! The place is hopping & the customer service is on top of the ball! The seating is comfortable & the walls are well decorated with American memorabilia! The prices are affordable (see pictures) & the portions of food most generous!

I went here for the first time ever a couple days ago, this place is a little corner spot in Bethlehem. As soon as I entered I felt welcomed, there were 3 ladies working and all three I cannot rave enough about how friendly and courteous they were! The lady that made my cheesesteak made sure I got it exactly how I wanted it and went above and beyond to make sure I was a satisfied customer. This place is A-1 in my book in terms of customer service, but the cheesesteak was just the icing on the cake... it was phenomenal! Super messy, cheesy and delicious, the reviews were good and that’s why I decided to give it a shot and I was not disappointed!

Good food. Excellent service. Just the kind of spot I absolutely love to support. Think hometown PA luncheon type spot. If Roseanne lived in Bethlehem and slung cheesesteaks, this is where she'd work. Also, I love how they support local. A-treat, Goods and Herrs chips, birch beer, all of that good good. Definitely recommend.

Seems good. Had went there on a weekday afternoon, appears reasonable staff, few customers, had tipped when I order here. Seems reasonable time of order window under 10 minutes. Either way, it tastes great, probably worth the wait. For me, preferably on a non-busy day, just so I avoid the crowd. (That's just me.) Hands down, them over some mean subs restaurants (no offense), probably freshly made, and helping smol businesses in general. (If they were mean, um. At least they not the kind who won't choose to discriminate me all the time? Lmao!)

A well-respected cheesesteak joint that’s super consistent and reliable, with fun specials that change each month. The beef’s super tender. They can do Philly cheesesteaks, but if you’re a tourist you should try the regional cheesesteak that comes with pickles and tomato sauce. Very filling at an affordable price. Lots of variety. The fries are like if Five Guys fries were actually crispy. They should start offering Cajun seasoning as an add-on to the fries.
