" A great discovery! I loved their cheesesteak; it had all the toppings I wanted and was perfectly seasoned. The portions are extremely generous, and the service was friendly! They have a small dining area, which might feel cramped at times, but I liked the casual vibe of the place. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a great find for anyone after a cheesesteak. I enjoyed every bite of my sandwich, and the fries tasted excellent. The staff was quite friendly, which added a nice touch to my visit. The ambiance isn’t something to rave about, but I really came for the food, and they delivered on that promise. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a little skeptical given how some local places can be hit or miss with quality. However, Amato's really impressed me. The cheesesteak was rich and filling, and I loved the crispy fries. The only thing I’ve noticed is that inside can feel a bit cramped during busy hours, but overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Amato's, I finally decided to stop by for lunch. I ordered 'The Works' and let me tell you, it was an absolute beast of a sandwich! The flavors were spot on and reminiscent of what I’ve had in Philly. The portions were enough to satisfy my hunger, and the staff was friendly, making the whole experience enjoyable. If you're ever near, don’t miss out on this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is definitely one of my favorite spots now! The portions are huge and the taste is simply incredible. I tried The Works and now I'm hooked! The atmosphere is quite casual—but perfect for grabbing a quick bite. I highly recommend the fries with cheese—you won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to a few cheesesteak places, but Amato's is by far the best I've tried. The sandwich was bursting with flavor and the meat was super tender. The fries with cheese sauce were delicious. I do wish the dining area was a bit cleaner, but the food more than makes up for that. I'd definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical about the cheesesteaks since I've had mixed experiences elsewhere. However, Amato's impressed me with their freshness and flavor. The service was okay, but I genuinely enjoyed the food. Great-sized portions as well. I’m tempted to return and try some other menu items! " (*Curated Review*)
