This was the first time getting cheesesteaks under the new ownership and will be the last. After seeing everyone’s reviews that nothing had changed we decided to order from what was our fav cheesesteak place. When we got the steaks I said “wow this feels really light”, which made sense because there was a smear of meat on the bread and it was covered in ketchup. All you could taste was the bread and ketchup. You couldn’t even tell there was meat on the bread other than seeing some brown color through the ketchup. Mike’s used to STUFF their bread so full of steak meat that you could make another sandwich. And I didn’t expect that, but I also didn’t expect what we got. We were so disappointed and saddened that our favorite place to get great cheesesteaks had changed so drastically. On top of that the prices increased dramatically. I totally understand that the cost of everything has gone up and I don’t mind paying for things, but $16+ for bread with ketchup and the tiniest amount of meat? No thanks. Re to Owners response: Hi Fabio - Thanks for your response. I am not at all disputing prices went up everywhere, as you can see in my review above. I get that and appreciate that you had to raise your prices. However I did have to check your menu to ensure I wasn't crazy about the cost of our sandwiches, and I agree your cheesesteaks aren't $16. However the large is $14.99, and after adding a few toppings they quickly reach over $16 each. Again - I GET IT. Prices went up and you had to raise your prices. I am not upset about the price. What we were upset about is the lack of meat and cheese in the sandwiches FOR THAT PRICE. Maybe we got food on an off night, there are many factors that could have influenced the food that night. I do thank you for your response and will at some point give you a try again. Mike's was ALWAYS our go-to. It was always consistent. You knew what you were getting when you got food from here. We were just very disappointed with the vast difference.

Bread is nice and soft which to me is one of the hit and misses with other shops. I hate when it's hard to eat the sandwich because the bread is tough. Would love a larger sub option.
