Charleys Cheesesteaks 350 Longwood Avenue, Boston, MA 02115

"Love the cheese and bacon fries but wish they came in a large so I didn't have to order 2 smalls"

"First time trying this spot! I got a medium size Philly steak and cheese sub with a large Strawberry lemonade drink! The steak was cooked properly not over cooked and was well seasoned melted cheese lettuce tomato pickles and mayo bread toasted! It was good sub, satisfying and good! Will try this spot again! The strawberry lemonade was good. It was way to sweet for me, I was in a sugar coma afterwards….."

"I visit Boston every year for my medical needs at BCH & Mass Gen/Brigham. I’ve been in the Longwood Galleria many times, I’ve been coming to Boston for 20+ years. Believe it or not, I’ve NEVER tried a Cheesesteak in my life. Being from Chicago, we don’t have Cheesesteaks. Here, it’s about the Italian Beef Sandwich. Two VERY different, yet delicious sandwiches. After a long medical day, I strolled into the Longwood Galleria to scout out dinner to take back to my hotel room. The Longwood Galleria is basically a giant food court. The first place that caught my eye was Charley’s. I figured there is no better time than now to try the cheese steaks! I ordered Charley’s Original & Classic Steak Philly Cheesesteak. I also added an order of Charley’s “Ultimate Fries”. Their hand-cut fries are freshly fried and topped with cheese sauce, ranch, and bacon crumbles. They’re so good you’ll refuse to share! Be sure anyone with you gets their own order! The bread was delicious and soft. The steak inside was cooked perfectly. It was tender, delicious, and seasoned perfectly. No chewy/fatty/gristly pieces- which is what my worry was. It was so good I ordered them in for delivery again a few days later to my hotel. The food portion for the money is outstanding. Everything is hot, fresh, accurate, & packaged properly. Delivery is fast and hot. As a Chicagoan, I have to say the Italian Beef is still King. However, the cheese steak did not disappoint!"

"Overall it’s ok. If you are near the area, trust me and choose Charleys over McDonalds (detail see below) + good amount + Fries a lot better than McDonalds + beef has strong umami flavor (satisfying when taking the bite) - beef flavor too light (could add more salt and pepper?)"
