Great Steak

450 reviews ·Opens at 6AM

Great Steak surprises with hot, fresh gas-station fare, especially the Buffalo Philly, Super Philly and chicken cheesesteaks, plus notably tasty fried chicken, tenders and shrimp. Regulars praise the friendly owner and clean setting, but experiences can vary: some report excellent sandwiches while others cite skimpy or poorly seasoned steak, disappointing fries, high prices, a 3% card fee and occasional long waits.

Perfectly adequate gas station cheesesteak restaurant. Employees are great and the area was clean. Food was hot and fresh.

I ordered the super Philly cheese steak and the super chicken cheese steak and they both were delicious and worth the price. I will definitely be ordering from them again

The Buffalo Philly cheesesteak is awesome and is to die for. The owner/ manager of the establishment is great and very friendly. I have come here twice and both times it was excellent
