The Cheesesteak Grill

Saw these guys on Instagram and how they were introducing their new Smoked Tri-Tip French Dip and just HAD to come down and try it. Once you get a craving, it's best just to nip it in the bud. My mother and I came down on a weekend to try it. It was large enough for the both of us to just split it. We also ordered the Seasoned Fries and a soft-drink. Fries were great. The french dip was even better. The meat was soooo tender and the bread wasn't toasted so much that the roof of my mouth was tore up. Their bread was near-perfect. It took a little while to get our food...proof they make it to order, instead of having pre-cooked beef sitting in a fridge to warm up like some places do (I'm sure). Total for everything was around $28. Some suggestions: add ketchup bottles to the tables. It's a little painful squeezing multiple ketchup packets out onto the plate. Also, it got pretty busy when we were there and there seemed to be the need for more chairs/tables. Just a thought tho...

Thanks to Christian and Tiffany, I had the best cheesesteak I’ve eaten in over a decade. New ownership is sometimes scary but this place has held up throughout the years and will continue to do so, especially with those two behind the counter. Dog friendly which helped on a cold day. Make sure you tell them Winston sent you when you go!

DO YOU LOVE A GOOD CHEESESTEAK? Well, I heard about The Cheesesteak Grill on Oceanside Blvd and figured I'd give them a try. Normally, I'm not really one for a lot of meat, so I don't typically go to places like this. This hidden gem is conveniently found just east of the 5 Hwy and still 6 minutes from the beach! I heard they were under new management, so I came to see what would change from this business that's been here at this location for over 13 years. After speaking to the owner & learning he is a chef with an already successful BBQ business, I was relieved to know this place is in good hands. The Cheesesteak Grill is known for: CHEESESTEAKS • BURGERS • FRIES But they also have delicious wings! This makes perfect sense coming from an owner who has perfected the art of sauce making! So I can't wait to see what else he has in store! So far, I've thoroughly enjoyed the pizza hoagie, the garlic bomb cheesesteak sandwich, the buffalo & lemon pepper chicken wings and the Philly fries with bacon. The portion sizes for their sandwiches are ginormous and overflowing with meat! They don't skimp at all! The flavors were legit as well & everything felt balanced to me. Their prices are on-par with the quality and convenience of the location to downtown & the beach, as well as, access to the 5 Hwy ramp. Parking is great with access to a huge shared lot. Only the interior is a little "plain" and simply, but this isn't really a deterrent, as the food makes up for it (just not a fancy date spot). If you're looking for a solid cheesesteak, I highly recommend The Cheesesteak Grill on Oceanside Blvd. Overall, I'll be coming back here to try more of their menu!
