I ordered the bacon bomb and left out with my oder when I got to work and cut the burger in half I was that the inside was still pink I brought the burger back and asked for a refund from the manger and I was told that I would not be receiving a refund because the sandwich was altered. I will never eat there again and I recommend you don't either

Standard to-go lunch fare. There was a line in front of my party and the wait was a little long, but the three employees working behind the counter seemed to be working hard and efficiently to get the orders out as fast as they could. I had a philly cheese steak, which was average, even by DC standards. Someone else ordered a pizza, and that looked and smelled delicious. Definitely a place to get lunch in a reasonable amount of time, but I don't know if I could recommend their cheese steaks.

Horrible food horrible people and horrible service. I ordered a cheesesteak combo. The guy that took my order understood me enough to take my money, but didnt do what I asked, which was to toast my bread on the grill. Thats not complicated just put the bread on the grill and let it toast. They couldnt do that. Everything was undercooked the cheesesteak, the onions, the peppers, the fries and the bread. I went back in and asked if he could make another one. He told me they dont toast the bread, and couldnt make another one unless I paid for it. The guy that took my order suddenly
