Decent spot for a Philly Cheesesteak. No frills place with some great food. Easy order and the wait wasn't too long.

GET HERE NOW! We just so happened to stumble across the beaut when we left from the Floating spa. I knew when looking at the menu, this was the stop to make. We ordered the Diablo cheesesteak (Large), Brisket cheesesteak (large) and an order of the cheesesteak loaded fries. The service was quick and we got our fresh hot food in less than 10 mins. Our plan was to eat outside as they have a nice setup but with my hair being slightly damped, we opted for the car as the smell pretty much screamed "EAT ME NOW"! And we did! You guys the flavor goes beyond the amazing aroma. Every bite had the perfect amount of meat, cheese and pepper ratio. And the loaded fries were just as amazing. So I repeat, GET HERE NOW. 12/10, highly recommend!

Let me start by saying the fries were awesome. Came for the cheesesteak and was blown away by the seasoned fries. I got the small Cali Cheesesteak and while everything tasted amazing the sub roll was a tad chewy for my liking. However, that will not deter me from coming back.

I stopped by Cheats Cheesesteaks in South End, and it was an absolute home run! I had the Cali Cheesesteak, and my friend went for the Diablo. Both were a solid 10/10! The meat was perfectly seasoned, and they nailed the balance of cheese and sauce--no dry cheesesteaks here. The Cali was fresh and flavorful, while the Diablo had just the right amount of spice. The heat wasn't overpowering, and the flavor was perfectly balanced, making it bold and unforgettable without being overly hot. The location is outdoor seating only, which adds to the charm, and it's conveniently located along the Rail Trail--perfect for grabbing a bite during a walk or bike ride. The staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere was just as awesome as the food. If you're in Charlotte and looking for the best cheesesteak experience, look no further. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

I love a good cheesesteak, and while people from Philly might chafe at the thought, I think Charlotte has some excellent places to get the delicious morsel that hails from the city of brotherly love. One of the newer entries into the field is a place called Cheat's with their original location in Plaza Midwood, and a new location in Southend. They are a takeout fast casual restaurant that despite the name serves more than just cheesesteaks as their menu includes several other sandwiches along with snacks like loaded fries, and deserts like ice creams. They are a little on the pricey side as a large sandwich can cost as much at $17.99, but their ingredients are fresh, the service is quick, and most importantly the food is tasty. They are also a solid option to order on door dash if you want something quick but feel like supporting a local business over a fast food chain. If you order on door dash it is also really easy to customize your sandwich taking out ingredients or adding some where you see fit, so you can guarantee the sandwich is just how you like it.

This place has the best cheese steaks I've tasted so far in Charlotte. The food is always good, hot and tastes fresh. The customer service is great as well. They speak to you like you are welcomed there. That so important.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon for what else but a cheesesteak. As usual, Yelp is my compass when fulfilling cravings, and this time, it did not lead me wrong. I ordered the pepper steak with mushrooms, banana peppers, mayo and fries. Within 5 minutes, the order was ready, and I set it up at a picnic table to enjoy it. The fries were well seasoned but not hot and crispy, the way I prefer. As a result, I didn't partake; I went instead for the cheesesteak, which did not disappoint. I will say I'm normally a provolone girl, but I have had Wiz on a cheesesteak before and am always willing to branch out. This cheesesteak was incredible. The steak was tender and juicy, the veggies perfectly cooked, and the wiz was the perfect compliment. The bread was absolutely delicious--crusty, chewy, light and allowing the ingredients to unfold perfectly. It was a 10/10 experience, and I'll definitely be back soon when the cheesesteak craving hits.

I took advantage of the special 2 for $22 deal and ordered both the steak and plant-based cheesesteaks. The plant-based cheesesteak, made with Beyond Steak, was a pleasant surprise. Both sandwiches were saucy and very messy, but that's part of it! They are smaller than I anticipated but they were tasty!
