★★★★★ 5.0 Michelle Thomas · Dec 2025

Probably the best cheesesteak I’ve found in the LA area. Super hot when served and worth burning your mouth for. You can add jalapeños or serranos to the filling if you want it spicy. The overview says cash only but they do take card as well.

This is one of the best places to eat in Venice let alone west side the same two gentlemen it’s a nostalgic place much like you’d expect to go through to a drive-through with your convertible impalas and it brings back that feeling, this is the place to be this summer The grill is tight, but it is good grilled onions, mushrooms, peppers, cheese, steak, man, toast the bread on it. This place is good and they know how to do it too. It’s authentic cooked to your liking every single time. get here early is busy on the weekend.

I have been to this place a good 10 + times.. anytime im in this area, this is the place to look foward to the most.. very much fulfilling, very cheesy, good amount of meat, honest price.. i'll be back lots and lots of times

Okay first of all hands down to the food. The food hit me good. I've been around SAMO to Venice all my life and always missed this spot. Nonetheless, today was the day to finally try it out. While I was doing street photography along my way, I finally made my pitstop. And Yes! Finally that lemonade I HIGHLY recommend it! Too damn good. Not sweet not sour. Just right. The mushroom cheesesteak was hella good. Definitely coming back for the double cheeseburger I was recommended to try. And yes they are hella welcoming.

Vibes was dope, service was great but the sandwich (the steak) wasn't seasoned much. I had to add sweet and tangy bbq at home. Expected more from the reviews.
