Cheese Steak Shop, Oakland, California Restaurant Details

Food:

This place is excellent and anyone who says otherwise is an ignorant moron. I've been to Pat's and Geno's in Philly. This place is better. Period. And there's no attitude or having to deal with some smelly alleyway with flies in it to put condiments on your steak. It's not the Taj Mahal - but you're eating cheese steaks for crying out loud, not caviar. If you want excellent, tender, hot, cooked-to-order cheese steaks with excellent service, this is the place. If you're looking for a cloth napkin experience and lots of chic atmosphere, this is not the place (although the pictures of other cheese steak shops around the country are pretty entertaining.) I've been coming here for years and the staff is pretty much the same people - they're all very nice and accommodating. I love this place and anyone looking for a down-to-earth, awesome cheese steak sandwich will too.

Food:

Just plain great

Food:

this place is horrible the food was mediocre at best and i could hear the owner yelling at an employee half the time i was there. not my idea of a nice place to go.

Food:

Their cheese stakes are okay, but what I love are the times my Aunt and I would go here after work or when she came to visit. Great customer service, it feels like a family away from your family.

Food:

I live in So Cal and visit my best friend, who lives just off of Lakeshore. My visit is not complete if I can't get my "sammich" while I am in town. The staff remembers my face and always seem genuinely happy to see me again. The Italian Hoosier is T H E best! I love the food and love the service.
