Cheesesteaks were solid and they had them ready quickly even on a Saturday night. Guy at the counter was very friendly. Learned at Pats and Genos whiz is where it's at so C and I got whiz without. Grace went American with onions. Nobody had complaints on the taste. Grace also got a Caesar salad which she liked.The couple complaints, the first two not that big a deal. As a to go shop I thought they would have packed the bag with napkins, especially with cheesesteaks. They also didn't have a single plastic fork for the salad. The third complaint that took a star off was there was a hair in one of the sandwiches. It could have been one of ours I guess but seemed unlikely.

Dunno wsup wit all the bad reviews as I think this is the BEST cheesesteak spot in state college. Steak wasnt none of that cheap crap it was real AF steak. This place OWNS bradleys like its not even close. Also the cheese is melty and gooey. You can taste it in every bite.Only con is that a large is ten bux so its roughly 3 bux more than bradleys or any other cheesesteak but its mad worth it cuz of the quality. I wont go anywhere else for cheesesteaks ever again, but if i must im def holdin it to this gold standard.

I don't have too much to say about this place. It came in handy on a late night but - was not really worth it. The sandwiches were pretty pricey for a college town, and not the best i've had. Far from it.My sandwich definitely was 70% bread, with very little cheese or meat to compliment it properly. I definitely felt like my money could have been better spent at Sheetz down the street for the price. There is potential, and the take out people are nice, but I paid for mostly bread...

Not sure what the hype is with this place, they must be "famous" for taking forever and delivering pretty poor quality cheesesteaks lol. They do give you a very generous amount of fries though to make up for it. For a $14 meal though? Go to anywhere in the city of Philadelphia if you want a real cheesesteak. You wont be standing there for half an hour and its almost half the price. All in all Good portion size, poor wait time, poor menu, poor quality.

Well, just ordered from Famous Ernie's after quite some time debating getting an order in and I have to say it was entirely underwhelming. Not only that, but they decided to send us the order incorrect as we placed one for a small and one for a large and both came small, they def didn't forget to charge for the large though.That being said, the steak, while being real steak, was so chewy and fatty that you could bearly saw thru it with a knife, which is a shame, because the rest of the ingreds were actually decent, even the bread which is generally the place you expect a drop in quality in central pa.All that being said, won't order from here again, nor would I recommend it to anyone looking for a good cheesesteak in town. Given the students aren't here, you'd expect a better experience, but like it's counter part downstairs, you get what you'd expect, why be surprised.

I would give this place zero stars but I can't. FIRST of all, the fry's are way too salty. I ate them and got a hangover even though I didn't drink. That's how dehydrated o was. I ordered ONLY ranch and they gave me ONLY fries. seems intentional, doesn't it? Yeah. They're ranch haterz. This is so messed up, all I wanted the WHOLE night was ranch and I paid $14 for It and all I got was fries!!! I'm so distraught. I called the boi at the front desk and he said it's grubhubs fault. Son, I've been in the restraint industry and I KNOW this is not grubhubs fault. It's your fault. I'm so disappointed.

Great CHICKEN cheese steaks for someone who doesn't eat red meat (or if you're just into a healthier option that still tastes great!) I always get the chicken cheese steak with lettuce and tomato.Also if you order fries, it's a HUUUGEE portion of delicious french fries -- cheap and there's no way you can finish it on your own! Plenty to share!
