Big John Steak & Onion

Co worker picked me up a sandwich as I could not get out today. So I so can’t speak of ambiance or service since I was not there, but I got a chicken wrap (chicken, onion, lettuce, banana peppers, red sauce on side) and it was delicious and a very good sized portion. Will be going back soon in person!

I agree with a previous reviewer about inconsistent portion size. It really depends on who is working the grill that day. That said, the Philly steak sandwich is so dang tasty that it’s kept me coming back for years!

Simple great tasting cheesesteaks. Friendly staff. Quick service.

Staff is awesome and can’t beat the steak and cheese subs, and the wraps are awesome too, highly recommend

OVERRATED… i’ve had better steak sandwiches from places that just had steak sandwiches on the menu and specialize in other things, and the meat was that cheap steak’em meat

If I got the same sandwich I had on my first visit — every time — I’d give this place 5 stars. If it was almost always the same quality and size, I’d give them 4 stars…
They lured me in. Threw sliced ribeye with some onions on the grill, toasted a nice bun, and served it up with melty provolone and tangy Big George sauce. It was so fresh, so tasty… it really hit the spot. And it was pretty big, a good value for about $ 6. And the guys were helpful and friendly, welcoming me back.
Then I actually went back. And I got the «scrap-​ems» that others have written about. I understand you keep some beef hot and juicy so it’s ready, but I want that fresh sammie I had the first time. Multiple visits later and it’s still very unpredictable about what you’ll get. At times, the sandwiches have been VERY small. My entire bag was under 8oz.
Until I get a steak-​n-​cheese hankering again, I’m in no hurry to go back. I also wish they had bell peppers or something more. Banana peppers are good, but seems like an afterthought, eh?
Lots of parking. Could be open later (am I the only one hungry at night?).

Its good but if you go at night be aware they sometimes cook the meat far ahead of when you order it. but even then its pretty good.

Decent… could have been cooked a bit longer but it was good regardless.
The sauce is OK… not the best sauce ever but it did add some flare.

Big Johns is a good place to go for a good steak and cheese. One of the greater sandwiches here is their steak wrap though. They are fantastic and if you get it in a meal, it’s only around $ 5. This is an excellent place so if you are in the mood a steak and cheese sub go here. Again, I highly recommend the wrap.

we think this place is f-​ing delicious and we dont even give a care if you judge us :)
its basically a steak and cheese sub… its no authentic philly but it is tasty. bread is definitely above average and you can get onions, mushrooms, peppers, all kinds of crap in there — great sauce comes on the side too. and two subs for $ 5 — unreal! also had the chili at the lansing chili festival once and dug it but have never ordered it there.
not a classy place — better to grab a sandwich and go – but a great place to swing by on the way home.

I’ll stop eating at Big John’s the day I am able to stop smoking

Ever since I made the conscious decision to not die from high cholesterol, I haven’t made it to Big John’s very often. Oh, but those special times that I do get there… I actually love what Big John’s has to offer. A simple linup of what they do best, big ass cheesesteaks. Lots of meat with onions & other options like mushrooms, etc. You have to try their special sauce, just get a cup of it a douse your sub. So good. Maybe someday I will go on a Big John’s bender and end up in a blood sugar coma, but I will try to hold off on that for a while. Great food for a «once in a while» type option.

Ya got yer steak, and then ya got yer onion.
It’s a cheesesteak, pure and simple. This is a chain, but I don’t hold that against it. I can’t say I’m a cheesesteak connoisseur, having never been to Philadelphia, but Big John seems to know what he’s doing.
