Yelp.com Review - by Bobby K.

5.0 of 5 stars. I've been eating at Amatos for over 5 years now. They were my first ever philly cheesesteak, and wihtout a doubt, the best. My only regret is setting the benchmark so high that every other place...

4.0 of 5 stars. Damn good cheesesteak. One of the few places in the Bay Area which only serves cheesesteaks. 99% of diners will be just fine with the 7" "shorty".

Yelp.com Review - by Monique H.

5.0 of 5 stars. I adore, love, and possibly lust after these cheesesteaks. I'll finish a shorty without even realizing it. It's that good, you eat beyond being full. I've never had a cheesesteak in Philly, but beef...
