South Street Cheesesteaks: Reviews & Ratings
The Wizard Cheesesteaks is SOO YUMMM! 10/10. Delivered thru DoorDash. Still warm. Melted cheese and all the yummy toppings. I get this at least every 3-4 weeks. Def recommend!
I went with a few friends of mine for a day trip to charleston yesterday and everything was top notch!!!! Jason is an exceptional owner and is very personable. He came out to our car as we were waiting for our food and spoke with us. The meat portions were huge and the meats were well seasoned while not being overly salty. The bread was more than capable of holding the amount of portions for the cheesteak without being hard to chew. I really can't do this place justice for the overall experience we had. Would drive from Columbia again to experience this level of flavor and service. We'll worth the money. This is a take out only business but don't let that stop you from a wonderful meal.
Delicious cheesesteak and don’t forget the fries (super crispy and nice salt and pepper). Whole staff was fantastic and got my sandwich filled to the brim with meat cheese and hot peppers. You want a true philly cheesesteak come here.
After a week of vacation seafood, we wanted something different. The cheesesteaks were perfect and the staff was great. This is a walk up, to go, place so order online and pick it up. If you like cheesesteaks, you won’t be disappointed.
Who thinks Philly Cheesesteak when they visit Charleston?? Well you should!! Happened upon this amazing takeout spot just bc it was so close and open on a Sunday night. Cheesesteak was great portion size and well seasoned with all the yummy goodness that you come to expect from a real Philly Cheesesteak. Pros: Amazing tender beef with cheese throughout creating a little piece of Philly heaven down in the Low Country. Cons: No lettuce and tomato (owner is considering offering this). Also that there aren’t more locations. Keep in mind that it is takeout only, so you order and wait outside. We met some locals that were frequent customers and they told us that they “fiend” for these cheesesteaks. We had the fries and a standard cheesesteak and shared it between two of us. We both thought the meal was 2 thumbs up. Initially I was skeptical of trying the place. I was deceived by a low yelp review, but seems it was primarily the 1 customer that was upset by the wait bc of all the online orders. I don’t mind waiting for good food. The taste and quality are there and great service. The entire team was friendly and helpful showing us how to place our order and making sure we had all the condiments we needed. Go South Street Cheesesteaks!!
Tried them just a minute ago for the first time. Order ahead online to save yourself a little time. The steak is fresh and the quality is solid. This was a little bit thicker steak than the super thin slices you normally see and in a good way. I did extra meat and it was a full sandwich. Tons of wiz, not skimpy at all. The owner was there and was very interactive and friendly. The lady working was very nice and knew down to the minute how long my order would be. I had a good first experience and it won’t be my last. Go support this guy putting quality first.
Wife and I both got 8in beef Cheesesteaks. They were absolutely Phenomenal. One of the best Cheesesteaks ever. Owner was awesome. He was trying to do inventory. He'd just returned from a trip and was kind of late opening. Not a problem with us. After an explanation of what he had going on He wound up coming to our and taking our order. He kept apologizing. He was extremely nice. He hand delivered the subs when they were done. Quick drive back to the hotel and now I'm stuffed. I definitely recommend this awesome service and awesome food.
I had a fantastic experience at South Street Cheesesteaks in Charleston, SC on June 12th. I spoke to Jason, the owner, over the phone before arriving, and he was incredibly friendly and accommodating. This is a take-out place, and I must say, the cheesesteak I ordered was exceptional. As someone from the Philadelphia area, I know a good cheesesteak when I have one, and South Street Cheesesteaks definitely delivers. The meat, onions, cheese, and bread were perfect - fresh and full of flavor. The service was prompt, and the atmosphere, though take-out, felt welcoming. If you're craving a delicious cheesesteak made with care, I highly recommend South Street Cheesesteaks! It's definitely the best I've had in Charleston.
