    Port City Cheesesteak is such a fun and unique spot! The atmosphere alone makes it worth the visit—vintage arcade games, nostalgic vibes, and incredible wall art featuring classics like Star Wars and Rocky. It honestly felt like this place was made specifically for my husband, and he loved every second of it. The food was just as good as the atmosphere. The cheesesteaks were packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and super satisfying. The onion rings were crispy, hot, and absolutely delicious—definitely a must-order. If you’re looking for great food paired with a laid-back, nostalgic, and fun environment, this is the perfect spot. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Wilmington!

    I only wish you could toast the bread for folks like me. It shouldn’t be too difficult if you have an oven to place the bread in for a few minutes

    I hope this reaches the owner. I’ve been a long time customer. I mean from way back at your previous location. We ordered almost 90.00 of cheesesteaks and food for our table. When the cheesesteak came I couldn’t even see the cheese. The steak barely existed. I wish I would’ve thought to take a pic. It would’ve really drove my point home. I pretty much ordered an overpriced 6 in roll. Both cheesesteaks were like this. All bread, barely meat. Not to mention ruin the add ons were extra priced. If cheesesteak is in your name it should really be a knock out. The service is always amazing. The food has become less than sub par! The staff that works are all so kind, warm and sweet. The food however, has really turned to such a rip off!

    This was my first and last time coming here. I don't know how a place can be named port city cheesesteak and not be able to make one… lets start I walked in and did not know where to go until i seen someone at the bar so i went over to her and I guess thats where you order im not sure but she took my order there on a piece of paper and I asked for ketchup and mayo on my cheesesteak and she shook her head at me but when i got it there was no mayo or ketchup and it did not say it on the receipt and I get that some places don't put it on for you, you have to do it ur self but she should have said something instead of just shaking her head at me, but thats the least of it… the cheesesteak…….. its pretty self explanatory. NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN IF YOU CANT EVEN MAKE A CHEESESTEAK
