Food was great, but not handicap friendly. Only one handicap parking space in the lot which is shared with adjoining apartments. If you can handle the large step, there is a back entrance but you must go through double doors and turn left. No table service. Good place for pizza.

We always have a great experience eating here. The food is delicious and not a lot of people inside so we were able to grab a table. We typically go in for lunch and have not been in during dinner so I’m not sure if the table situation is different. Plus, we typically go here when the UD students are on a break.

First time I have been back here in three years and I am pleasantly surprised. The subs were really good…a lot of meat and very soft rolls.

So I used the Slice app for this order so maybe my experience is only applicable to 3rd party app orders.

I ordered for pickup from the Newark, DE location. The large portions and decent price point. Unfortunately, I did not find the food tasty. I didn’t eat but a few bites of the Steak Cheese Fries and Meatball Sub as it was flavorless. This was my first time eating here and unsure if this is normal or a one off. I offer no opinion at this time.

Subs are one of my favorite things to eat, I set the bar low for them also… so low that my favorite place used to be subway!! I decided to try this place out just to realize they make their subs a little different. instead of using the bread to hold your sub as you eat it you are supposed to hold the meat! Here is a photo of my subs… These are 2 different subs…… notice anything? I didnt at first glance either. I thought something was odd. my sub is missing about 50% of the bread that was supposed to come with it. when asking for another slice I was mocked, and told id need to pay if I wanted additional bread…

NEVER HAVE I EVER….had a “Grilled Cheese” that wasn’t “grilled”. My folks were in town and wanted cheesesteaks, they didn’t want to drive to Philly so they settled on Claymont steak shop, I personally would have gone somewhere else because I didn’t want a cheesesteak from there due to there being bones in two cheesesteaks I ordered from the other location last year, but since I stay in the area and can drive to my favorite spot in Philly whenever I feel like it, I figured I could find something else on the menu. I am a very finicky eater, I don’t eat large portions and don’t like to waste food…I usually check the kids & 55+ Items first lol…they had neither option…so I went with a classic, something you could never go wrong with…oh but it did…I was probably too “lifted” at the time to realize that this classic item was listed under the “warm” section on the menu but was promptly informed when I tried to figure out wth was taking a grilled cheese so long O _ O that they make them in the oven! What in the total mind *you know what* because correct me if I am wrong…but two pieces of bread in the oven is cheese bread not a grilled cheese…but I’m like whatever, as long as it’s good…well nope…the bread was drier than the Sahara Desert, so maybe someone forgot to butter my bread or is this how it’s served? I honestly don’t even really care because $4.49 is an irrational amount to charge for two pieces of bread and cheese that someone throws in the oven for 15 minutes not to mention these little mushroom crumbs that I got for $6.99 lol. I took that one bite of the sandwich and trashed it, such a waste of time…I just don’t care to visit this establishment anymore.

We come up from Annapolis a few times a year for the cheese steaks. We’ve had plenty of good cheese steaks in Philly but these are the best we’ve had.

I never take for granted high-quality food for delivery on a late-night order. I always feel bad because Claymont is definitely a “late night craving” spot for us. But the handful of times we’ve ordered about an hour before close, it’s been delivered quickly with a smile, and the quality of food is always great! Delicious pizza and a good cheesesteak all in the same spot is a winner in my book! SO appreciative of the friendly service, consistent quality, and delicious food (even when I’m being THAT person and putting in an order at 8pm on a Tuesday night).
