★★★★★ 5.0 Riley W · Mar 2025

Probably the best cheesesteak in State College! They don’t skimp on the meat or cheese, and compared to others, the price is reasonable. My only critique? The previous rolls they used were much better—one of the key factors that sold me (and many of my friends) on this place. We really wish they’d bring them back. The new Gemellis rolls are tasty but have a tougher chew (no knock on Gemellis—they’re amazing). Another plus, the staff will even run in your steak while you enjoy a beer at Antifragile. Top notch.

Stealing another’s comment Honestly, one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve ever had. Great flavor and wish the place was there while I went to PSU. My note: I couldn’t have afforded this when I was in school. But $16 is more than fair in this world.

★★★★★ 5.0 Robert Snare · Oct 2025

Hands down the best Philly style cheesesteak I've found in the area. Rolls are so fresh its ridiculous, they actually SEASON the meat and cheese, and the beers at antifragile are great! If you're tired of the central PA excuse for a cheesesteak that comes with a salad on it for some reason get down here and you wont be disapppointed!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 shaw stanley · Aug 2025

Extremely underwhelming. The cheesesteak made me more and more disappointed with every bite. For $16 I would expect a better quality meat. I’m not trying to be a jerk and leave you with 1 star given that the service and atmosphere was nice, but I was pretty damn dissatisfied with the food.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Samuel S. · Dec 2025

After adding some marinara sauce from my fridge at home and microwaving the whole sandwich for a minute, the cheesesteak was pretty good to eat! (Roll was hard) all good though!
