    So good - we opened and closed our nyc trip with cheesesteaks here. The authentic with whiz is perfect on a cold day.

    I've been coming/ordering from this place for a few years now and I can say I like it. the steak is nice and tender. My favorite cheese to put is Black pepper cooper sharp. I recommend ordering the Garlic aoili which comes with grilled tomatoes, Fried onions and sweet peppers. The fries can be under seasoned at times. Even the old bay ones. Chicken tenders, although frozen I assume, are tasty and crunchy. Ranch is delicious and seems homemade. Yet to find a better cheesesteak in Manhattan. Burgers are decent

    The bartender made me feel very unwelcome here. I kindly asked to cancel my order when I felt uncomfortable and was told there as no way to do that and be refunded, keep in mind this was seconds after we placed our order on the tablet. If you’re looking for the vibes and atmosphere of beloved Shorty’s, this isn’t it. What a downgrade.

    Great cheesesteaks and their other menu items looked pretty good quality when delivered to other tables. Service was mainly good but let down when the bar men forgot to poor my beer. Lots of TV's showing all types of sports. Quiet on the night of my visit.
