I remember this establishment from years ago having way better food. Obviously it has exchanged hands a few times since then because the food was not good at all. And for the price you would expect quality. Was that even steak? I don't think so. I do not recommend. However, the staff was polite so they get two stars.

I love this place. The fireball with beef and sweet potato fries is my go to. The fries have been a little floppy the last couple times but I love SP fries so much it doesn't even matter. They aren't overly friendly here but they are polite, quick and efficient and the food tastes good so that is fine with me. I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to get a good sandwich. I usually get my order to go so I can't speak on the atmosphere much

There isn't a great variety of restaurants that offer cheesesteaks in KC, so Chartroose Caboose is one of the few choices available to get your fix. Maybe if we had more competition in town, Chartroose Caboose would be motivated to provide a better than average product. Unfortunately, there isn't anything special about their offerings.The cheesesteaks are the featured menu item, and they're just OK. The meat is very dry, not really any better than steak-umms that you could cook at home. They could easily offer additional options, such as an Italian Beef sandwich, or a combo with sausage, but they don't. Swing and a miss.The menu includes a few additional burgers and sandwiches, and I recently tried the "hand breaded" pork tenderloin. They may be hand breaded, but if so, they are then frozen and subsequently pulled from the freezer when you order to throw into the fryer. In other words, they aren't made fresh. Another swing and a miss. The tenderloins extend about an inch out from the bun, but they aren't pounded thin like many KC restaurants, and the result is approximately ¼ inch thick with a medium thin breading coating. I can understand how you can get away with a subpar cheesesteak in KC because we're so far from Philadelphia and few people here really know what it should taste like. But an average pork tenderloin in KC is harder to tolerate.The fries are thicker than McDonald's style, but thinner than steak fries, with typical frozen out of a bag fry flavor. They should probably offer some sort of fry seasoning near the topping bar.You'll find both a soda fountain with a few choices of drinks near the condiment bar, plus a cooler with a variety of Fritz's and other brands of bottled drinks and water in a cooler located by the ordering counter. A few arcade size video game machines are somewhat hidden in the back, and they have a couple nice flat screen TVs mounted in the dining area that were showing sports on my recent visits.They have a condiment bar with pickles, onions, cherry peppers, sliced pepperocinis, lettuce, and tomato - but you still have to go to the ordering counter to request ketchup, mustard, or mayo. Why? These are staple items that should be placed front and center on the condiment bar. I also didn't see any cheez-wiz. How can you call yourself a cheesesteak restaurant and not offer cheez-wiz? Maybe they offer it, but if so, then you must have to ask for it the same way you have to ask for ketchup, mustard and mayo, because it certainly isn't obviously available and they never mentioned it when I was ordering. Another swing and a miss for strike three, and we haven't ever gotten to the problem I experienced with my delivery order.I tried Chartroose Caboose's delivery service a few weeks ago and they didn't get my order quite right. My "Zephyr" cheesesteak arrived without mushrooms, and the delivery person told me they had run out. Ever heard of a grocery store? It's really not that hard to run down the street and purchase more mushrooms if you happen to run out. I mean, seriously. I also specifically requested two containers of au jus when I placed the order, but upon inspection discovered they only delivered one.I can say one good thing about this all-round very average restaurant, or at least something good about the restaurant's location - As you exit the building when you're done eating, you can turn left and walk 30 feet down the sidewalk to Peachwave frozen yogurt to order some cheap and delicious dessert.

Great place to grab a bite. We came in with a large order for 6 people and had our food within 15-20 minutes. You walk into a cute little restaurant that has train decor. Above there's a small train riding the tracks all around the perimeter of the place. At the counter they gave their menu, along with an open kitchen where you can see them cooking your food and frying your fries. The food itself was pretty great. The bread was a white bread that was extremely soft with food flavor. The meat was perfect, tender and juicy. I went with the Katy because it was extra cheese, no veggie. They topped it with extra mozzarella cheese which gave it all the more flavor. I ordered a side of tuxedo fries, which were pretty good- a little soggy since we took the food to go. The mozzarella sticks were perfectly cooked as well. Again, great place to grab a bite. Try it out!

Not crazily busy but me and my bf wanted to try something new so we decided to pop in. i thought it was a franchise but I think it's a mom and pop shop. Everyone that works there is super nice and talks to you with a smile. I got the Roast Beef Sandwich with au jus and it was pretty good, but a little dry. I should've added the cheese! They give you lots of meat but a little too much bread. they have arcades in the back corner and keep the place decently clean. It's obvious they've been open for a while and entering their establishment is just a great feeling of nostalgia. I would definitely try this spot again

First time visit and will definitely be back for another try. It was later in the evening and the locations was slow. Staff was friendly, and service was fast. Cheesesteak was great, fries hot and crispy. I'm not sure I could ask for more.

Food was ok. The service shouted profanity at a customer as he walked out the door. Completely unprofessional

this place used to be great. now they cook with cheap ingredients and the taste of the food is aweful. they nickel and dime you for every little sauce. there used to be condiments out for the toppings on your sandwich no more. I would rather fine atMcDonald'. 2 sandwich combos 35.00 and it sucks!!!
