Rick's Cheese Steak Shop - Newport News

I ordered a Philly cheese steak and onion rings. The cheesesteak was incredibly cheesy and meaty, and I absolutely loved it. The onion rings were also very tasty. I tried a pastrami sandwich as well, which was really good. The servers were very friendly, and I was very pleased with my experience. I will definitely return for that Philly cheesesteak!

Food is off the chain! Come hungry! Large size cheesesteaks are probably 12 inches, while small is (I'm guessing) 8 inches and plenty big! Cheese BACON fries Also they do cheese-covered onion rings- unique! Interior is on the divey side but folks are super-nice!

The service was quick, and our food arrived promptly. We ordered mozzarella sticks that were served with an unusual marinara sauce. My son got the steak and cheese with extra meat; it was massive and delicious. I chose a burger, but it was tough, and I suspect it was a frozen patty, so I didn't eat it. He also ordered the fried cheesecake, which was quite enjoyable. As we were leaving, the bar became busy with people arriving to order, pick up, and check out. If they improved their systems and used real meat for their $9 burgers, this place could easily earn a 5-star rating.

You can always count on Rick's chicken bacon Philly to hit the spot. Make sure to come with a big appetite!

I recall ordering from here a while ago and wasn't particularly impressed with their cheesesteaks. Since I didn't want to drive to my usual spot for them, I decided to give Rick's another shot. I ordered mozzarella sticks and a buffalo cheesesteak with onions, banana peppers, mushrooms, and green peppers. When I got home, I found that there was no dipping sauce for the mozzarella sticks and the cheesesteak only had banana peppers on it. The cheesesteak was overcooked and overly seasoned. In my book, that's two strikes, and you're out. Next time, I'm definitely driving for a real Philly cheesesteak!
