The Cheese Steak Shop

Growing up in San Franc and having tried their Philly cheesesteak back in the '90s, I was surprised to find a chain. I ordered the large classic steak cheesesteak with extra peppers. Those peppers are delish, they need to sell them jars. OMG! They haven't changed their taste at all. Their steak fries are always fresh and hot. Sometimes they might have a raw one here and there, but overall, this place is amazing. I was a bit disappointed with the Cheesesteak Fries version, nothing too fancy for me. The price is average, and I usually end up taking the other half of the sandwich home for a later snack. :D

So I moved from the Bay Area suburbs and was super excited to find out this restaurant had a location in Roseville too. I tried a couple of other cheese steaks in the Sacramento area and so far none hit like this place does.Happy to say this location might even be better than the one I used to frequent!Meat is shaved thin, lots of cheese, and you have the option for sweet or hot peppers (or both) and onions. In addition to that, they have different fun flavor options. I personally enjoy The Hoagie (has lettuce, tomato and mayo added) and Philly Joe's (has spinach and mushroom). They also have a Western which is similar to a certain fast food chain.Only thing was we dined in and they didn't seem to have air conditioning running, so hard to eat in on a hot day with a kid. Otherwise it was clean and spacious!

I have tried several " Cheesesteak" places in CA. And finally found one that I will return often. They actually make the steak with Cheese Wiz. The buns are very fresh and soft but holds the meat and peppers well. The steak is cooked perfectly and d melts in your mouth deliciously!Give this place a try and let us know what you think!

Best Cheesesteak I've had outside of Philadelphia. None of the surrounding cheesesteak shops can compare. I'll choose this place everytime even if it's it of my way.

The one in Walnut Creek is great, the one in Roseville is average at best. Food was mediocre, service I felt they weren't interested.Best nearby is Jersey Mikes on Douglas Blvd.

Outstanding cheesesteaks & fries - service is fast & efficient & the cooks are great!

This is the second time that I've ordered, I thought the first time might've been a bad day. The problem is the bread it's like eating raw dough. spongy and has a weird texture. I've never had a cheesesteak with that type of bread.

Ordered a cheesesteak with provolone and got home to no cheese. How is that possible, the word cheese is literally in the name. Meat was fatty and tasted like it was scraped from the sides of the griddle, peppers and mushroom were good (guessing out of a jar), and there is no way they bake the bread fresh, it was soggy and stale in spots. Don't bother with this place.

Loved The Cheesesteak Shop since living in San Jose. Now in Citrus Heights as well. A change in personnel affects the business off and on, but always worth the bread.I get steak, onions, mushrooms, and white American cheese.

I'm at a loss for the high rating of this place, it fooled us. This place has bad food, no other way to say it. I got the "classic" with provolone, onions and peppers. Wife got the pizza version. Tasteless ground beef doesn't make a cheesesteak. What ever their using is not steak, it's a groud meat. Super crazy salty, and I love salty foods. This was too much. My wife's pizza version was ok, but a grease bomb(to be expected) but almost to salty to eat. They looked good, but just salt for taste on some kind of ground meat was disappointing. $38 for 2, 8" sandos and one medium drink isn't worth it. Place was clean, bathroom was pretty clean(great for the city I guess), service was fine. That's the only thing kicking my rating up to a 2. Food is a 2/10, value a 1/10, the place and service an 8/10.
