The cheesesteak is a famous dish from Philadelphia, USA, consisting of thinly sliced grilled meat and melted cheese wrapped in a long roll. Despite its name being ‘steak,’ it is a sandwich that is eaten with hands.
I've been coming here since 2015ish and PJs has never disappointed me once. Thank you for always having ESPN on too. Quality service, quality food, a West end institute. Please never leave us ❤️
Is PJs under new management or ownership? I had dinner there tonight with my family, and it was quite underwhelming. The food portions aren’t what they used to be. I was charged $8 for each small basket of chips, and there was no “meal deal” to include a drink. The cheesesteak size is tiny, and the amount of meat that was inside is significantly less than what I remember. I used to be a regular, but likely won’t be returning again.
I would love to show my gratitude to the staff of PJ's Steaks. Me and my wife visited this place tonight just to taste something different. I found the food so much delicious and awesome staff working there. I would highly recommend to enjoy the fast food here
Food came out quickly. The rolls were baked fresh, still soft and warm, chips have amazing seasoning and well salted. Small place but nice atmosphere. Very tasty food and lovely staff! We'll definitely be coming back :)
If you’re looking for Philly Cheese Steaks which taste amazing and are cheap, then this is your spot! Perfect for after you’ve had a couple of drinks and need something dirty and delicious to finish the night off with
Hands down one my favourite food in Brisbane, I could eat 2 cheesesteak for day
It's been a number of years since my last visit, and it's just as good as I remember! My go-to is the Mushroom Cheese Steak with provelone cheese. The onion rings and potato gems are served up super crispy as they're cooked to order.
The buns were soft , but the pepper cheese steak was very bland. Needed some seasoning and I believe for $14 you might get a little more cheese. Chips and onions rings were very fresh. The wings were …. Well one of them was not cooked properly and still has blood in it. Not cool. The chilli one was decent. But you can’t sever people uncooked chicken. Probably would have given them 3 stars otherwise.
Friendly staff, quick service, tasty and affordable food. Couldnt ask for anything more!
Pretty good for survived and food was nice
Is this place seriously open 1 day per week
Food service was really quick and friendly. The atmosphere of the store was unique and the food tasted good.
I stop by every time I go to the West End, and my favorite is pepper cheesesteak. The staff is friendly and the food comes out quickly, which is great.
The food isnt really my thing, however I have been there many times, as it is my friend groups fave spot, the food is fresh and good quality. And my friends love it, Its a good vibe we will be back.
Good food, great service, staff very friendly. Highly recommend. Vegetarian options: Veggie sub Dietary restrictions: Couple of fried chicken options with different flavours
Totally disappointed in the serving size of the cheesesteak. It was a serving size suitable for a child. Flavour was good in the cheesesteak. But overall the main meal for the place which was the cheesesteak did not meet its expectations.
hella small, these cheesesteaks were not true to the american way (good tho)
Nice service and nice food. The prices are very affordable as well.
I ordered two cheesesteaks via Uber. The order arrived quickly and the quality was great! The lunch was warm and delicious! Amazing service!
The place that was once a prominent icon of Westend. I remember PJ donated a lot of time and effort to protect this street alive with neighborhood business, but after he left, the Westend shop couldnt avoid its decline. Its heartbreaking that the American food and culture he left behind in Westend cant continue under the new owner.
Good
Triple cheese is the way to go.
Well done guys, banger atmosphere. Small seats/tables but yummy cheesestakes. Good for the night out, pepper steak went
Fantastic little dinner spot in the heart of West end. Delicious and affordable!!
Always a great choice when in west end - best rolls
Not a good restaurant and the staff seem to fear the owner. No polite greeting. Would not recommend and know others who have experienced the same Read the negative reviews and don t take the risk Most of the good reviews were ages ago so seems they ve gone down hill Not good to be treated indifferently
Delicious cheesy and meaty options.
Delish
Affordable fast and friendly. Overall well worth it. Soft bun with grilled steak. Maybe a little extra cheese but otherwise mouth watering stuff
Always incredible
Tried it 3 years ago and last week. Quality has changed a bit. But, still tasty. Fries is expensive compared to other restaurants.
Great family owned restaurant with friendly staff, excellent service & excellent food. They have the BEST Philly Cheesesteaks in Brisbane!! Highly recommended Kid-friendliness: The friendly staff are great with kids. My kids love the food.
Fast, fresh, F-ing delicious!
My top go to place in Brisbane. Most recommended.
Tried the pepper cheesesteak, not bad at all! Would definitely go better with a sauce. Great friendly customer service
Very nice cheesesteak sandwich!
Pretty tasty cheesesteaks!
So good. I like the aesthetic of the place, their picture wall of pop-culture references and the American vibe that the place gave. Their classic cheese-steak with the American cheese and their fries were really good. I need to try their sweet potato fries and their onion rings tower in the future. Overall a very pleasant experience, staff were very friendly, definitely would recommend trying at least once. I will definitely be coming back here soon.
Great Phyllis cheeses take feel like I am just off I-95 in Philadelphia
PJ s Steaks owners have always been so friendly and helpful! My partner loves PJ s and they always remember him and wave, and the cheesesteaks are the best in Brisbane. Their homemade gravy is fantastic. Get the tater tots with sour cream. Just note there aren t many seats and it s best ordered takeaway
Fantastic food and service. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious! Will be coming back.
A Brisbane institution! Best cheesesteaks in the country! You can catch live US sports games inside and theyre always happy to put on any games youd like to watch! The triple cheesesteak is a must have!
Very tasty food and friendly staff
Amazing service and even better food.
Crazy amazing it s so good I ve tried three cheesesteaks so far and all is 100/10. Owner and staff super friendly too. Will always come back.
takeaway last weekend. hair came from the burn. very disappointing. =( was my favorite place. missing back days with PJ and James
Do not order anything from here. Too salty that I could not eat and throw my sandwich away.
Cheesesteaks are just gold
Pj s giving good service, offering good price and even better food
Pjs was alright, going to say the food was a little boring and not quality. good for if you are on a budget!
This is truly a great little place to go . Went there a few nights ago . We got there a little late but the staff was so pleasant and accommodating . Food was excellent. Great job guys
I love this place because of their cheap super delicious Classic hotdog is my favourite Also I believe they have the best onion rings in town Try them u won t regret
Really mediocre food that tastes cheaper with every visit. Chicken wings were so dry I couldn t eat them.
Had an issue with a delivery app and they were very helpful getting it sorted. Food was great and the service even better. Kid-friendliness: My son loved his hotdog.
Terrible food
Fresh, tasty and fast. Very happy
perfect filling just back from 3yrs living in uk. joyful having this food again. pity PJ left westend =( found him at cbd creek st shop recently =) Food : 5/5 |
The best!! Freshly baked roll, tender juicy meat and delicious cheese! An absolute treat Weve been going there for a few years, they never disappoint!
My girl and I have been comming to PJ Steaks for a number of years and decided to go here this afternoon to celebrate our anniversary together. The food here has always been amazing and today was no exception! The meat is tender and delicious, the bread soft for an overall melt-in-mouth experience. Another positive thing to note, Im sure that the sandwichs have gotten bigger over the years! The staff are attentive, friendly and kind. Of all the philly-cheese style steak places Ive been to, this place is hands down the best! On a personal note to the gentleman that served us, I truely appreciate the kindness you showed my family today. In this day and age I find it a rare quality and that is why I wanted to leave you a positive review.
The place wasnt the worse Ive ever been to for a hotdog, Wasnt the best either though, But least it wasnt the worse, I did definitely enjoy the hot dog, The chips was pretty good and well seasoned. Overall: I do recommend this place as it is affordable and you get what you pay for, The hot dog was cooked very well and the bun were super soft.
Best steak grilled sub I ve ever eaten. And the onion rings are perfectly crispy. Highly recommend dropping in to find a hopefully new regular spot.
Very tasty.
Delicious food and kind staff.
10/10 highly recommend
I got stuffed for $13 on a lunch special hoagy and fries. Huge, great value for money. They have some veg. friendly options, sweet potatoes and fried pickles. You know, when you need cheesy meat rolls... this is worth considering.
Awesome cheese steak subs! Highly recommend
If you want a greasy, delicious cheesesteak, this is the place to go to, great variety.
Solid meal. I wish there was more cheese on the triple cheese, otherwise the onion rings and other sides really good.
Best lunch meal in Brisbane (quality 5/5 price 5/5) $15.90 for a triple cheese steak, chips and tin of drink.
This is apparently a cheese steak wheres the cheese
For a first Philly steak oh boy it was a great experience. Once I ve seen a fb video showing that Sanger and I ve been craving and looking for it since. Wasn t a disappointment it was really good. The steaks is really tender and tasty, not fat was dripping a contrary as some people say and the bread super soft. And I had a decent amount of meat. The only thing I would ve love is to have my meat sunk in goooey cheese like they do in the us so it needed more cheese inside out. Will be definitely back. It s way better and tastier than any steaks burger I had before.
Tasty tasty
Best Philly cheese steaks in the world. Even better then the ones in Philadelphia!!
Worst experience with any place in West End, the food was not well prepared and we complained about it to staff only for the obese guy behind the glass to throw threats when we asked for a refund as the food seemed rotten. Will not return and I have reported the restaurant
Cheese steaks were soggy and very salty, actually turned my stomach at the amount of salt. WILL NOT BE BACK
One of our favourite food places to eat in Brisbane. The workers are super friendly and the food is always amazing quality.
This place is amazing, I have not found a decent Philly cheese steak place in Brisbane and a friend showed me this place and to say I was impressed would be an understatement!
Tried almost all of the cheesesteaks and they all taste great, excellent chips. They are a bit heavy and greasy so not something you want to be eating too often. Slightly pricey.
Best Philly in Australia right now. Makes me miss the States.
The food and service was actually great My rating is based On the name of The venue its a little deceiving. When looking for a place to go and have a steak meal you would unknowingly choose a place like this named venue which was not the case
The best Philli cheesesteak in Australia.
Yeah that was very decent. Will come back for more
I went here when they first opened and oh my goodness! Sooooo good. The chili is phenomenol! Had chilli cheese fries and they were just so tasty! Ive been desperate to go back! And from the great reviews, glad to see its stayed as great!
Best spot to visit in Brisbane.
Absolutely delicious
The meals are fresh and hot, atmosphere relaxing and the staff are friendly! The first bite was amazing, definitely give this place a go
Its an institution.. if you havent been here then you are missing out on one of lifes great simple dishes. These guys really do it justice as well. Their philly cheesesteaks are the best I have ever had.. My brother comes over from perth once a year and cant leave until he has been here at least once.. please never close pjs.. we love you..
Never had a bad sandwich....NEVER
Food is always great when I order. Great atmosphere too
Your cheesesteaks are the sole reason I cant stick to my youfoodz meals.
Great American fare especially Wagyu cheesesteak. Friendly service. Parking can be challenging at times.
Best cheesesteak in Australia !! Shoutout to my man Grey ! Greetings Tom See you guys next time when I m back in Aussie !
Three words. Chilli, cheese, steak.
I had trouble to place order via phone and had to call back to confirm my order (as the staff hung up on me!) We had mushrooms steak, bread was dry and barely could taste the cheese / mushroom.
After being a long time resident of pj s regrettably I had a sad experience today. Both mine and my partners cheesesteaks (which are usually of high quality) had very gamey taste and chewy meat. The service of staff was average. I was disappointed for my first time ever, what s going on?
Gee thanks for making my bin a hotdog.
PJs is great for that delicious greasy American style subs. Its greasy and fatty but you dont feel terrible afterwards, you can always have a little more. And their range of American/Mexican drinks go down oh so well. Any sub you get is guaranteed to be good. Such a wicked small little American style sub shop. Even do cheap beers if youre there at the right time. They have a loyalty card too, so go start filling it up
They didn t put any cheese on our cheesesteaks which was highly disappointing when we arrived home and saw this. Are they new owners as the quality seems to have slipped.
I ordered one chili cheesesteak for myself and two of triple cheesesteaks for my wife and friend. The taste was so delicious with premium quality of Wagyu beef that combined with great cheeses. The staffs were friendly and very nice. My wife and I were so impressed with their food and services. So, we will come here again for sure.
The cheese steak was great chips could have been cooked for a tiny bit longer but wasnt a big deal.
American style sub n hot dog. Recommend for chicken wings.
Yum. Always hits the spot
Wow.. Such a great little gem in West End. So glad i stopped in here on saturday night. I ordered the Supreme Cheese steak and Classic hotdog, both had heaps of filling & tasted amazing! While waiting for the food to be made, they had UFC on and serve american beer! Definitely recommend!
Always delicious
Super delicious original cheese steak, great spot for a Friday lunch treat.
Had a craving for authentic Philly cheese steak so drive over an hour to try this place and it did not disappoint. I had the mushroom Philly steak with the extra sharp provolone and it was delicious, would definitely recommend.
Really nice, highly recommend
From Philly live in oz. If I dont feel like making a cheese steak myself pj is just as good. Not Philly good but good.
Great food, great service, will definitely return
Chill cheese fries are sooooooo good
Really good tasty for me!! Thank you guys
Philly done right. Stick with the original with prov. Get it.
PJs is my guilty hung over food choice. There is basically no redeeming health benefits of eating the food, but thats what makes an awesome. Cheese, meat and bread how can you go wrong? The onion rings are particularly awesome
Super amazing cheese steak rolls! Worth every cent! The hot dogs are ok but you might as well get their specialty. Never had a steak roll as good as these! So good.
Awesome food.
Food is excellent
Bloody fanastic good cheap food
Delicious sandwiches for decent price.. loved it.. strognly recommend to everyone. Will come again soon
Delicious. Price typical of niche American joints
Great food. 10/10
Unprofessional staff
Disappointed. Roll was smaller than shown on website and the meat was not finely chopped and cheese non-existent
Best cheesesteaks in Brisbane. Admittedly theres not much competition, but PJs has been doing its thing for a long while now and has it down to a fine art. Always freshly made, and great value when its in a deal.
Food tastes great, but portion sizes are unfortunately on the small side and the pricing is high for what you get. Come for the experience, but if you are very hungry, you might end up disappointed.
Awesome!!
Best philly in Brisbane
We got the mushroom & supreme cheesesteak & both were good but pretty similar in taste - majority of the taste came from the cheese, beef, & the nice bun. Their chilli-cheese fries were very delicious & would definitely recommend. A slight downside is that the price is little high for the portion-size; the images on their website appear larger than what you actually get.
Authentic us cheesesteak experience, well priced and quick service, cheap beer
Good cheese steak, not quite Philly good but pretty close. Worth eating, Ive been back more then once.
Fantastic cheesesteaks and assortment of American drinks on offer. Always a good detour when visiting west end
Nice place, pretty close to the US ones
Great philly cheesesteak, fries are ok, place is 10/10
Amazing place to carve your appetite :)
Cheap and easy feed with good meat on a bun that doesnt overpower the filling. Great composition of each cheese steak and a good alternative to the late night kebab.
A nice simple easy dinner, PJs is a great option thanks...
Yummmmmmm
V good
Love this place, a little on the pricey side but totally worth it!
Great place to have a late night feed. The friends and I were hungry one night and walked down to west end and found PJ steaks open late. I ordered the Garlic Gravy Cheese steak and it was delicious. The Wagyu steak was sliced and so tender and flavourful with the gravy, and not chunky so I didnt have to chew. I chose the provolone cheese which wasnt too overpowering for the sub. The bread was fluffy and soaked in all the flavour from the gravy. We sat outside and enjoyed our subs and beers while watching the nightlife of West End go by.
PJs has long been a favourite of mine. Their triple cheesesteak is amazing and has served me well through many hangovers. The staff in the west end shop have always been great and I will continue to come here for years to come
If you dont like pjs steaks your the sort of person to phone the police because you felt intimidated by a stop sign
Honestly was just luke warm mince in a soft white roll...
Always a 10 when it comes to cheat meal.
Yum x100
Its hard to resist the flavour you get from the Cheesesteak here. Theres a great lunch deal for $13.90 for a regular Cheesesteak with your choice of cheese, side of fries, and a can of rot-gut.
For a 4.4 stars restaurant the food here is of low quality. I ordered through Deliveroo and the food came soggy. The food did not have that flavour that all of the reviews mentioned. All of their cheesesteaks options are exactly the same thing with + or - 1 ingredient. Their takeaway presentation leaves a lot to be desired. The size of the cheesesteak is very small compared to pictures and to any other cheesesteak in the US or Australia. Yes, the food may work if you order at the restaurant as a late night feed, but still, this food and at this price deserves a 1 star rating.
Its delicious, but it seems a little expensive compared to the food.
The food was great and plenty of flavours were present. The mushroom steak was a winner for me. The tator totes are also great. Just dont forget to make sure they give you the sour cream! I got home before I realised it was missing.
Great food. Really good prices. Their Chilli cheesesteak is my favourite takeaway food.
Good honest food
I love their classic cheese steak. The wagyu beef is so tender that you can almost feel it melts when it touches your tongue. Add a little mustard and just get ready to exclaim. Plus, all of the above for just $10. They deserve a 5 stars.
Yes best!
Awesome place. The promo goes until 5pm with small chips and Coke. 100% recommended.
Not as good as the one in the valley
