“ This is the original! Best cheesesteak for many many many miles! I remember the original box, but the cheesesteak is the same quality. ”
“ Food is excellent - I particularly like the pizza steak sandwich. The staff are very friendly. The store is really cute with the Christmas decorations. ”
“ I have been coming here since I was a teenager in the '90s. It's an automatic. I love the pizza steak with hot peppers. Can't lose with that order. They make it right, just like the ones in Philly (yes, I've been to those too). There aren't a ton of places left in Walnut Creek that I'd call "authentic" but this is one. It's stood the test of time and for good reason. ”
“ Whenever I'm craving a cheesesteak this is always the spot I come to. They remind me of the original cheesesteaks in Philly with a west coast style. The employees are always nice and service is quick. Nice indoor seating area and they have a rewards system for frequent customers! ”
“ Love the cheesesteaks I have been coming to these chains since I was a kid but seems like they are skimping on meat now a days and it's tough to justify 20+ for a king sized. ”
“ Quick with the order I made by phone. The food was hot and delicious. I have enough to save some for dinner. ”
“ After looking on Yelp for a place that sells a good cheesesteak sandwich, we found "The Cheese Steak Shop" here in Walnut Creek. The place appears to be a hole-in-the wall type of establishment, which in my opinion is always a good sign. We went in and said, 'let's do this!" Upon walking in the door, we were greeted almost immediately with a warm smile. Another good sign. When I looked up at the menu and saw that they had onion rings, I knew this had to be a good place to eat. The order was placed and when the food was ready, I couldn't wait to sit down and taste it. The first bite into the cheesesteak was heavenly. Then a bite of the onion rings revealed a nice hot crunchy delicious flavor. Wow..wow..wow. Our meal was really good to say the least! Will I be back, absolutely! And yes, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a hearty delicious cheesesteak sandwich and onion rings! And one last thing...the service was excellent! ”
“ Let's just say this is my go to. Gotta luv me some cheesteak. Brings back fond memories from home. They make them pretty close. So I'm in. I go back as often as I can. The mushroom pizza cheesteak is my thing right now. Everything but chicken. Stop by you will be very very pleased. ”
“ This Cheese Steak shop in particular is always so clean! The staff is also always friendly. Placed an online order for a Large Classic Philly Cheese Steak, it was ready fast which was convenient because I was starving! Lol. Can't go wrong with ordering the classic, no frills just pure deliciousness! The only downside to todays visit was that their sandwiches have become yet another victim of "shrinkflation" (see picture) ”
