Captain Gus's Steak Shop - Lancaster

I placed my order and while waiting, I took notice of how dirty this place was. From the walls to the ceiling, it seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Even the area around the fryer was filthy, with dirty walls and a floor that looked like it hadn't been swept in a long time. I would not choose to dine here again.

I can't believe they close from 2 to 4 and then close at 7, what the heck? And to top it off, they're closed on Sundays. That's not how you operate a business. The cheese steaks are smaller, soggy, and tasteless. Overall, the quality has declined since Gus passed away.

Home city favorites ma n pa burger lenk. capt. gus’s always has no for Chesesteaks, I have got the same cheese steak, mushrooms add, no wobble for 40 years. try the same, same hospitality when they meet the house door. the faces have changed, but the family ran and respected.

This restaurant serves the least appetizing sub I have ever tasted, made with four imitation croissants in a bun. The server even recommended having it cold as a sandwich. I had hoped there would be a unique recipe to make it more flavorful, but it seemed to just have basic ingredients. I gave it two stars for the freshness of the bread and the salads.
