We've been getting their steak sandwiches for a few years now and would rank them as being the best in the area. Make sure you order the smaller ones, which are nearly 12" long. The larger ones are meant to be shared. Make sure you get the hot peppers and onions if you want a little spice on them!

It's easy to overlook this modest establishment off the beaten path in Alpha, NJ but for locals it's a quality spot to grab a bite eat. No fuss. Lunchtime is busy with call ahead orders as well as dine in and counter service seating. I recommend the cheese steak, corn nuggets, or even their pancakes! Yes they're open for Breakfast- Lunch - Dinner.

I took my mom here to get her first ever gyro. She loved it! I loved it! The gyro meal was a good price and super filling. I actually had to take some home with me. We also ate there and although he was busy and there was only 2 people working there, I didn’t even have to ask for a refill on my soda. They were in top of it and I was surprised at the quickness of the service. He’s a humble dude and it was just an all around good experience.

Great place with a hardworking couple chasing their own American Dream! Food is great and service is fast. Yes Virginia, they too have been bitten by the inflation bug. Food is still worth it though!

First off, the establishment was very clean, and well put. The customer service was also really good, you can tell a lot of locals come here. The steak and cheese omelet and the Mexican omelet were delicious. I'd definitely recommend visiting if you're nearby.

Best cheesesteak I've had in awhile. The fries were hot and not soggy like some takeout. My daughter's chicken finger basket was huge. Would highly recommend.

We eat there almost every Sunday morning and a lot in the pm. Especially when it's hot and we don't want to cook. Seniors love it here too. Excellent food. French toast is like I make it. If it's not on the menu and he has the stuff he'll make it. Best burgers around too.
