Best Cheesesteak and Tasty Kakes in SF
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best Cheesesteak in SF, and it was a pleasant surprise to find a place in the city with such tasty kakes. The food was rated a 5, and the atmosphere was also a perfect 5. It was a quiet environment, making it easy to have a conversation. The service was excellent, and the meal type was lunch. The price per person was between $10–20.

Underwhelming Cheesesteak, Crispy Fries
I've been riding my bike down Valencia weekly and have always wanted to give this place a try. For lunch, it was a one-man show, so it took about 25 minutes for my order to be ready. I got the cheese steak combo with fries and a drink. The cheese steak itself was severely underwhelming and bland. The roll felt really small compared to other places in the city, especially for its price. However, the waffle fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside; they just lacked salt and pepper, which is an easy fix. Overall, I don't think I would come back unless I was in the area and specifically wanting a sandwich. Maybe I'll try something else on the menu next time.

Excellent Cheesesteak and Fries!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever tasted. The curly fries were also excellent. The service was both funny and good, contributing to a great overall experience.

Authentic Philly Cheesesteak Heaven
If you’re craving an authentic Philly cheesesteak that melts in your mouth and leaves you planning your next visit before you’ve even finished your meal, Jake’s Steaks is the spot. From the moment you walk in, the sizzling sound of steak on the grill and the smell of toasted rolls and melted cheese fill the air—pure heaven for any sandwich lover. The food was rated a perfect 5, and the atmosphere was equally impressive at 5. The service also received a 5-star rating. For dinner, expect to spend between $30–50 per person in a place with moderate noise.

Great Hot Dogs and Fries, Service Okay
My experience at the restaurant was great overall. I'm pretty sure the owner took our order, and while he didn't know the exact size of the hot dogs, the hot dogs and waffle fries were excellent. The pricing is really good for the serving sizes. The atmosphere was rated a 3, and service a 4, with food scoring a 5.

Amazing Food, Excellent Service, Cool Atmosphere!
I went with my friend Jake to Jake's Steaks before a comedy show, and my experience was fantastic. The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very cool. They even have the Maltese Falcon from the movie there, which was pretty cool!

Mixed Feelings on Cheesesteak
My experience at the restaurant was a bit of a mixed bag. Honestly, the food wasn't great. I tried the original cheesesteak with provolone, and it just wasn't hitting the mark. I've had better at Subway, which is honestly sad. It's possible I just ordered the wrong thing, but it wasn't a great experience. On the positive side, the portion was good, and the service was nice. I might come back to give it another chance, but the chances are slim.
