What diners say — our read

Reviews and inspection point the same way here. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.4 stars.

One subject never comes up here: freshness. Coverage here reaches back to Nov 2025 and forward to Jun 2026. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (13 reviews).

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (98/100), with 2 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. DBPR last walked in on February 12, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. On health score it sits safer than 85% of the Volusia County restaurants we grade. The citations behind that grade include garbage and refuse and floors, walls, ceilings clean & maintained.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. Everything above is computed from the 19 reviews reproduced below.

    Small town, local wonderful little cheese steak shop. In town for kids football game. Best cheesesteak I have ever had. The people here are so unbelievably friendly. They work hard and have so much pride in their work. If we are ever back in town, we will definitely be back. Thank you so much for the great lunch!!!

    My family and I ended up here after a disappointing trip to not getting into Blue Spring. We pretty much chose it at random on Google, but we're glad we did! It doesn't look like much outside or inside, but the menu is extensive, the food is delicious, and the people are very friendly. I got the Italian sub and it was massive. My family all got cheesesteaks. We also shared loaded tots and onion rings. All of it was fantastic. Literally my only minor complaint is that a nice sauce would've suited the onion rings. But that's it. If you're headed to the spring, get a sandwich here to eat there (or in your car while you wait). You won't regret it!

    The food speaks for itself! Overstuffed and delicious 😋

    There is no heat in that place. I was so embarrassed to bring a friend there and we froze will trying to eat. No fountain drink's either. Just a bad experience

    Food is decent and pretty authentic for Philly style Cheesesteaks. Staff is friendly. Spent over $110 for 5 decent cheesesteaks though. The prices are way to high for steaks that aren't Pats or Ginos. Sadly, won't be going again.

    This was my first time visiting the orange city location. I ordered 2 salads. That were good. Just the lettuce could have been fresher. I always go to the one in Sanford . But I will go back to this one as well.

    It's gone downhill, food quality especially.

  • December 19, 2025

    This is the best place to get a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. It was so delicious and very filling! They use Boarshead meat!

    Awesome local hidden gem. Old school sandwich shop with great tasting food and good customer service. I just ordered a couple wraps and they tasted amazing! 🤤 Don’t miss out, come check it out. A+++

    It's the original. If you like fat subs with A LOT of meat, this is the place. Really good food, nice family owns it - you need this in your mouth

    The food is good but their hours of operation vary daily. Have to call cause you never know if they are open or not.🤷‍♂️
