Customer Reviews

"11/25/25 - I must admit that this was the best cheesesteak I've ever had in Maryland. Their customer service was superb. The business was fully staffed with two cashiers and several food handlers. The waiting area and the hallway leading to the restroom were very clean. Shrimp Cheesesteak with fried onions, sliced cherry peppers, mushrooms, provolone and Cooper cheeses was absolutely delicious. It wasn't riddled with gristle or fat. The roll wasn't flavorful, but it didn't bother me too much because the meat mixture was great. The Strawberry Crunch cake with cheesecake was ok. My only disappointment was that they don't serve fresh fries. I went elsewhere for fresh cut fries. There were only two tables for diners to wait or dine at. Parking is definitely limited. The establishment was busy from the time that I parked until I left with my order. I waited 10 minutes for my items which wasn't bad at all. All I heard once I entered their door was chop, chop, chop on the grill and numbers being called. I will definitely return and recommend this cheesesteak shop to others. I surely got my monies worth."

"I found this place on google and I thought I give it a try. I ordered the large 12oz original cheesesteak sandwich with extra meat as I eat a lot and I can say that this sandwich is amazing! The seasoning is perfect. The meat has tons of flavor and with the amount of cheese and meat blended it is very well balanced. I am here on a business trip and call me crazy, but I ordered a sandwich every single day for a whole week knowing that my dinner I will not be disappointed at all. I highly recommend this place to others if you are in the area. This will definitely be my goto spot if I'm ever in town again."

"Very good cheesesteak. The meat, cheese, onions & bread were all delicious! I got a 6 inch earlier in the week & went back for a 12 inch a few days later. FYI - you can only get the seeded roll with a 12 inch roll, but it is worth it. I am on a quest to find the best cheesesteaks in MD & I would rate this one a 8/10. I definitely will order again from here when I'm in the area."

"This place is a hidden gem in a small shopping center in Elkridge, MD. I'm originally from Philly so we are constantly on the hunt for a really good cheesesteak outside of Philadelphia. This is the place we have been searching for! There are two sizes of the cheesesteaks, small 8" and large 12". There are multiple varieties including the original with provolone or whiz, steak and shrimp, chicken and much more. We went for the original with whiz and it was really GOOD! The cashier took orders pretty quickly and gave everyone expectation management as to how long it would take to get the order. It was organized and I thought pretty quick. Don't miss out on this place, it's definitely worth a trip! Kudos to you Cheesesteak and Co.!"

"First time trying, heard alot of good things from people and the internet. I absolutely love cheesesteaks with all my heart, being a marylander i used to travel to baltimore to get a cheesesteak from my favorite place hopkins until they closed down due to covid. The cheesesteak itself is pretty good. I honestly don't think it's worth the price though. It has a similar taste to a jersey mikes cheesesteak which I don't mind, but the way that people hype this place up I expected to be blown away. On that note, don't let this review hinder you. It IS a good cheesesteak, just wouldn't be my go-to place."

"Best "classic" cheesesteak in the area I've had by far. Cooper, onions, and you gotta get the seeded roll they have available. Expected a bit more chew on the roll but that's alright. Sandwich was heavy, seasoned, and cheesy. Everything it should be. Don't sleep on the Cajun tots either - delicious! Wish they had more seating area. I came all the way up from DC and therefore have no where to carry out and eat it. Great job though guys, you're putting out a solid product."

"I was on Instagram and saw this place. I was craving cheesesteak, so I tried it. There was a warning to expect a wait, which was a fact! As soon as I opened the door, the line was spiraling around until you got to the register, giving you time to bond with everyone else waiting.I'm with you. Warning, all of those people... it was hot in there! There's no place to sit, and it's not a very big location. But the customer service was quick and friendly despite the amount of work they were doing to get orders out quickly! I tried the original cheesesteak and the buffalo chicken egg roll. The egg roll had good flavor, but the chicken was dry. It comes with a small cup of bleu cheese dressing... that helped. The cheese steak, on the other hand, was outstanding. It was perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, just enough cheese, and they do not skimp on portions. That roll was stuffed with meat! I would definitely go back."
