the original steaks & hoagies

true philly/jersey sandwiches. with a wife from new jersey and forty plus years of travelling to long beach island in new jersey for summer vacations, we know what a real cheese steak or hoagie should taste like. the original steaks and hoagies will not disappoint. we ordered one of each to share and thought both were excellent representatives. the cheese steak meat was finely minced with onion and the cheese "wiz wit" was right on. the hoagie "italian" was on the right kind of hoagie roll and had the proper mix of deli meats, vegetables, and spices along with oil and vinegar. except for the clerk asking us if we wanted pickles on the hoagie, they constructed a nice sandwich. their "large" size is a meal in itself and we enjoyed splitting each sandwich. enjoyed sharing new jersey shore stories with the owner and his son.

steak n crap. steak -n- crap

couldn't wait to try this place out...i finally make it there spend $10.25 on a steakncheese combo and it took 27 minutes for my one combo.... i asked 2-3 times whats up, and they just told me the to go orders where heavy you gonna have to wait... wtf 27 minutes???? then the moment finally arrives and i go to the car to munch down, and my sandwich doesn't have mushrooms or the grilled onions on it....

and just from the walk to the car my sandwich was already cold and the bun was soaking wet.....it was the worst food i ever ordered... nothing like eating a cold, wet soggy wrongly made over ten dollar combo...

i would rather drive all the way to philly to get one instead.

great cheese steak. make sure you get it with cheese whiz, onions & sweet peppers. fantastic

yum. i'm not from philly and don't know what constitutes 'authentic' there but these are some great sandwiches. sorry i waited months to try the place out. worst you can say about them is that there's some labor and time involved in making the sandwich fresh to your specs. call your order in if you're impatient. lots of meat, and not a drippy greasy mess like the standard cheesesteak you get anywhere else around here. your choice of cheeses and garnishes make for individually-tailored deliciousness. bay fries are good too.

worth the drive

best spot in twinsburg. this place is the real deal! the owners don't settle for anything but the best. from the way they shave the prosciutto, the quality of the cheesesteak, fresh hoagie rolls, and cheese fries that rival anything philly has to offer, this place is for true sandwich lovers. it's a family owned and operated establishment. it's clear they take a lot of pride in the quality of their food. i've always gotten a very warm welcome from the owner. he makes his rounds with the customers to make sure they are happy. philly ain't got nothin' on this place!

philadelphia native. spent most of my life living in inner city philadelphia before moving to ohio.

if you want to know what a real philly cheesesteak tastes like, then look no further.

get a wiz/wit with crab fries. you won't be disappointed. i know they call the 'bay" fries. i think chickie and pete's in philly have trademarked "crab fries".

like philly.. i've been to philly and had my share of the "famous" cheesesteaks that city has to offer. the original steaks & hoagies in twinsburg comes as close to the original (and in some cases better) as can be believed. their rolls are imported from philly (amorosa), they use real rib-eye for the meat, and of course cheezwiz is available (applied on the bun, not on top). i have to give the pork a try next time although it is not always available.

i've said it before and i'll say it again: if you want sandwich authenticity, more often than not you are going to have to track it down to its source. want a great chicago italian beef sandwich? go to chicago. want an authentic philadelphia cheesesteak s
