“ Iconic location. Fast. CLEAN and GOOD! Considering tje current times a good value too! $20 for a great Hoagie combo!? Fuhgetdaboudit! Friendly service and always great to see your food cooked right in front of you! A great story behind d the building too! Check it out! ”

“ Cook is also son owner, traditional and fantastic hot food. Would recommend getting it the way intended but you can customize however you want ”

“ Excellent food. Great authentic and unpretentious vibe (increasingly hard to find in this part of LA) and very reasonable prices. Friendly team that cooked from fresh and served with a smile and were very kind and generous with my nieces who I brought with me. ”

“ This is a true Hole-in-Wall place for a great Cheese Steak. Sandwiches are delicious and made to order. Bread is great and all ingredient is fresh. FYI, most of the cheese steaks are made with their special pizza sauce, not my favorite and I don't really get it but It seems like lots of people like it. You should know you can order your sandwich without it ( that's how I like mine ) ”

“ Fire. This place is so good. The sandwiches come out piping hot and delicious. Hope in the wall kind of spot. But a gem. Love the hoagie with cheese meat and marinara sauce. Don't forget to the pepper on the side. ”

“ Rustic but epic. Their signature is the pizza sauce on the sandwich. But with it without, the hoagies are heavenly. It's not health food tho. If it's a cheat day, get your cheesy meaty goodness here. ”

“ Great local spot. One of the last places in Venice where you can get a cheeseburger for under $8.00 nothing pretentious about this place. Ive been coming here for quite some time. Great service, great food, great people. Lives up to their name and such a local hang out. ”

“ A few weeks ago, I drove out to Venice for a concert being held at The Venice West. I arrived early just to make sure I secured a parking spot and to grab dinner before the show started. Luckily, just across the venue is a local gem in the area - The Great Western Steak & Hoagie Co. It's easy to spot this cheesesteak sandwich, burger, & hotdog shop by its unique, worn look. The outside of the shop is painted a fading sky blue with a mural of happy beach goers on the side wall; the windows are completely plastered with various stickers; a vintage pale yellow and red sign looms overhead with the name of the restaurant; and a collection of brightly decorated electrical boxes sit in front. Even the outdoor seating patio is a bit eclectic as each table and chair are different styles. The front area is quite small with only enough space for a handful of people to go in and place an order at a wooden counter. FOOD: The friendly cashier recommended to this first-timer an order of their Bell Pepper, Mushroom Cheesesteak ($14.24). Their sandwich is a delicious offspring between a standard cheesesteak sandwich and an Italian American sub. In the heart of an ultra fluffy and airy hoagie roll is a molten hot bed of thinly-sliced steak, melted cheese, tomato sauce, and a mix of grilled green peppers and onions. It's all the yummy things - meaty, cheesy, slightly tart and sweet, etc. I'm glad to be able to add this spot to my bookmarks of good eats whenever I'm in the area again. ”

“ HUGGGGEEE portions! We came here around 8pm and it was soo empty, but when we left it started to get busy even tho it was so late! This location has a pretty spacious parking lot for the actual restaurant. Service was super friendly and quick. The variety of cheesesteaks was pretty solid for a small hole in the wall like this! I got the regular cheesesteak and it was pretty unique because it had marinara sauce in it. The cheese was melted so well and there was a decent amount of meat in our sandwiches! I'd definitely come back again.. good cheesesteak spots are rare. ”

“ I was lucky enough to have stayed at an AirBnb right next to this establishment. Walking by a few times, I saw a bunch of people waiting for their food here and my interest was piqued. It also showed on Yelp (woohoo!) that they make their hoagies with spaghetti sauce which I never had. Interest even more piqued! The food came out relatively quickly and the hoagie was piping hot! Make sure to give it a minute or two to cool down before eating. The hoagie was delicious! It was packed with meat, veggies, and a good amount of sauce. Very sizeable as well especially considering the price. I wish I went back here before leaving! ”
