I had a friend visiting Philly from NC and she wanted a cheesesteak. We were near Claymont and we stopped in. I hadn't been there in years but the cheesesteaks were still as good as I remembered! I had a mini chicken cheesesteak with spinach, mushrooms and onions and my friend had a regular cheesesteak. I also had an order of naked wings, which were cooked well also. I appreciate that they offer different sizes of cheesesteaks and have a great selection of other items as well. The service was very good. The dining room was a little messy on some tables but we got ours to go. I highly recommend stopping by.
Once the bread was toasted it was a very good cheesesteak. No pepper relish, that's a must have for me. The best cheesesteaks in Philly have free spicy pepper relish. I love it. At home I use AMISH WEDDING® RED SWEET PEPPER RELISH. Be sure and order it with extra cheese.
Mouth watering, cheesy, soft fresh baked bread, tender meat, & lots of cheese. Wow. 100/10 recommend if you’re looking for a solid cheesesteak.
Claymont Steak Shop never disappoints! The cheesesteaks are packed with flavor and always made fresh, and the portions are huge for the price. The menu has something for everyone, but the steaks and subs are definitely the stars. Service is always quick and friendly, whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout. It’s easily one of the best spots around for a great meal. Highly recommend if you’re craving a real Philly-style cheesesteak!
This is one of our favorite places to come to while in Claymont. My wife and I came across this lovely establishment in 2018, we were in town to look at a wedding venue, The Waterfall, right up the street. Around our anniversary we always drive up from Baltimore and stop in for a bite to eat. This place is special to Us.
I was super impressed with the menu — there were so many things I wanted to try! I started with the Philly cheesesteak, one of my all-time favorite meals, and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious and exceeded my expectations. I was so impressed with our meal that I couldn’t help myself — I even ordered one of their pizzas to go! Everything we had was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. If you’re looking for a great place to eat and want amazing food, you should definitely give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!
The Delaware Valley area is definitely a crowded market when it comes to cheesesteaks. Yes, there are the tourist trap locations but some of the best cheesesteaks come from more local establishments and Claymont Steak Shop is one of those places. They have a couple locations in Delaware, but it feels very much like a neighborhood restaurant. The decor is simple, but I like the feel that his is a neighborhood restaurant. There's a cooler with grab-and-go desserts and chips, locals get takeout and you can watch some sports while you're waiting. The service here is pretty good though you don't quite get the full restaurant service as ordering is down either via the counter or on a self-serve kiosk but they do make sure you get your food nice and fresh and the service staff is friendly. Yes, Claymont STEAK Shop serves cheesesteaks, but they have such a diverse menu there's plenty of variety. They serve pizzas, grinders, burgers, stromboli, there's a good variety of items to choose from. They also have baskets of fries and you can even get Old Bay fries, too. One of the things I really like is that you can customize your cheesesteaks; you don't have to be bound to the "Cheeze Whiz wit" routine and have provolone as your cheese or add peppers. While I cannot say these are the best cheesesteaks in the world, but Claymont's are really good. They come in three to four sizes and they stuff those steak rolls with plenty of beef (or chicken, they have chicken cheesesteaks, too) and whatever toppings or cheese you like. The beef is tender and you get a good mouthful of flavor and they are filling. Their pizzas are also pretty tasty as well. They are baked well and have a good selection of toppings. The breadsticks are pretty decent as well and they will wrap them in foil to make sure they are nice and hot and ready for you to enjoy. While Claymont might not be known cross-country for their cheesesteaks, this is definitely a great neighborhood restaurant to stop at for a cheesesteak...or a pizza.
Came here tonight for cheesesteak and rice pudding. I split one with my husband and this picture is half a small! It was very yummy. We sat and ate here and it had radio going which was fine. Light and bright. Don’t park at bank while open since they do tow!
