Philly Cheesesteak Corner — Restaurant in Bastrop

Decided to pick up an 10inch #4. The authentic with mushrooms, onions and bell peppers.

The dining room is tiny with about 4 or 5 tables. There is an order window. Simple menu. You can see the kitchen and the Hispanic ladies back there had the place smelling fantastic. There was one order in front of me and mine only took about 10 minutes at most. I got the 10in philly upgraded to curly fries and added the cheese sauce and a drink. Total was just under $17. A little steep, but I did go for the extras. My sandwich looked as amazing as it tasted. Soft chewy bread. Delicious, well cooked and seasoned meat. Perfectly cooked fresh veggies. Just heavenly! Really. A great, great sandwich. The curly fries were tasty, and just the perfect crispy. Maybe a little skimpy on the amount, but satisfactory.

My only issue overall, is that they are advertising a 2oz cheese sauce, but are only using a 1oz container. Delicious cheese sauce, but false advertising is terrible. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe they were out of 2oz containers. Even so. I was told nothing and allowed to pay for what turned out to be half the product. 1 star...

Quite the pleasant surprise. I decided I wanted an early dinner in Bastrop and since I was looking for something that I don't normally have, this came up as an option.

Here's the one negative. The place is super spartan inside and borders on sterile. That's the ONLY bad thing about this place.

I came in and ordered a pizza cheesesteak (minus onions) with fries and iced tea. The pizza cheesesteak came out perfectly. The bread and steak were on point. More amazingly, the cheese was melted in a way so as to keep the sandwich together. The pepperoni added great flavor without grease. And while the marinara sauce was lightly applied, you could taste that the steak had been cooked in the sauce rather than just added as a topping. The real shock was eating a cheesesteak that 1) didn't fall apart and 2) wasn't a greasy mess. The crinkle cut fries and the iced tea (with fresh lemon, no less) went great with the sandwich.

It's clear this place is family owned and operated. The friendly staff quickly prepares orders as requested and they take a ton of pride in running a clean establishment.

Definitely...

I walked in and ordered, "wizz with". The guy was confused and asked me what I was asking for. I said, "do you have wizz?" He paused and said, "we have queso". I knew immediately to lower my expectations bc this place was not going to have authentic philly steaks. I said, "do you at least have Ammaroso rolls?" He said they did. Yay! I spent some time reviewing the menu and saw all the cheese steaks had mozzarella on them. What the heck?!? Why??? Anyway, I ordered a small steak sandwich with fried onions and off course no mozzarella bc, WHY??? Haha. The price was very affordable which was great bc a real philly steak joint would charge about $11 for your sandwich alone and if I'm not getting a real philly steak it better not cost $11. In the end, the steak and the fries were good enough just nothing like a philly steak and I'm pretty certain the roll was not an Ammaroso roll but all in all it was fine. If the place was named "Texas Cheesesteak Corner" I would give it a 4 star rate bc the food is fine, the wait was short and the price great. Just not what they are trying...
