Jared Lassen: I love the chicken Philly !

Sohail Bhatti: Wouldnt let my dasher pickup my food even though i paid for it but said it was already picked up… terrible service

Marni Reynolds: Food was okay. Missing a drink with my order and when I called to get it refunded I was told that they weren't responsible and couldn't refund my 5$ drink.

Anthony: Ive been here dozens of times over the years and its literally never ever open on time... just change your hours to match your availability/want/will to work... no telling how many people waste their lunch break trying to eat here.

Lee T: I came on Sunday and the posted hours says they open at 12:00pm. I went to order my food at 12:06pm and was told by an employee he doesn’t think they’re open yet and to come back in 4 minutes. As I was waiting to give them extra time to do their opening duties another lady went up at 12:08pm and the same employee that told me to come back in 4 minutes took her order.

Lori B: My Philly cheesesteak sandwich was horrible I asked for Mushrooms peppers and onions and never even saw mushroom. It used to be good and today It was awful! The meat was Scrappy and overcooked and hard. . I gave more than half of it to my dog.

andrea woodruff: It's very very good sandwiches don't care too much for the fries . the prices are outrageous I suggest getting a large sandwich will do you good

Joan Adams: Food was very expensive for a food court almost $10 for a miniscule sandwich and cold hard fries!. Almost $4 for fries that was equal to the amount of McDonald's small fries. Turkey sandwich was bland and tasteless with very little meat mostly bread. It's safe to day I won't return or recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointed.

amarsta: Best Philly cheesesteak in town!

Matt Turner: Don't waist your money here. The staff does not want you here, they just want to sit around, BS and get paid for it. They were talking about how someone got shot while they made my order.

Charles Marcus: Really good philly

Mindless Hazard: Usually charlies is great but I'm not sure why but the cashier wasnt the nicest and seemed to be one more crazy request away from quitting or strangling someone

Jennifer Owen: We bought the chicken philly sandwich. Really good! ... Service not the greatest. I asked for no onions and mushrooms and it seemed to bother the cashier when I requested it. When I got my sandwich, it was bare. No lettuce, no mayo. Luckily I asked for ranch for my fries, so I just added ranch to my sandwich so it wasn't dry. Been here before and had no problems. May have just been a bad day

Anthony Cole: Great food but NEVER EVER open on time. I have a 30 minute lunch and love to eat here but the staff is incapable of opening the store at 11 as listed..... do not expect the hours of operation to be correct or the service to be speedy. 11 means 1130-1145

Jennifer Brown: Good food good price down load the app for great offers and free stuff

Andrew Hack: so it was good waitress had no ideas about the specials that we were talking about that were posted on the internet and everywhere else then charged us full price even after showing her the specials but all in all good food good service just need to pay attention more to what they're advertising and explain to the waitresses or waiters what is on special

Catherine Solbrig (Kitty): No complaints here. Service was good, food was quick and tasty. It wasn't anything to rave about, but was worth the visit and was a pleasant experience.

Sterling: Customer service was the problem the food was good though. Food took about 30mins for one pizza and salad.

Cybil Foreman: Three attempts for a decent meal for takeout and three fails. We ordered through Doordash twice because the restaurants own online ordering wasn't working properly and when we called to order they said they were too busy to take orders. I'm aware of the staffing shortages since the pandemic & we have no problem waiting longer. One of the orders was Doordash delivery. On that order we only received 1/2 of our order. 2 of our 5 meals were missing as well as sauces, a dessert and salad. The restaurant placed the blame on the driver for not waiting for another bag but once the bags. Are set in the pickup area to my understanding that signals drivers that ordered are complete. The next visit we did curbside, ordered through Doordash. Not only was the 54th street employee very rude to about my husband not coming inside to pick up our order. We've done curbside pickup for years & had no idea that if we're getting pickup after using a different ordering method we're not entitled to curbside, which makes me question why I had added an 18% tip... on to the food itself. I ordered the baby back ribs which are not cheap at over $20. I don't mind paying that for a small slab of ribs because it's normally falling off the bone and really tasty. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Though the meat was cooked through to not be a health hazard they were not cooked long enough to serve. The meat was so tough I couldn't even eat it plus the bbq sauce hadn't been on during any of the cooking process (it normally is) so it hadn't carmelized & the flavor nor color deepened at all. It was actually still cool. My baked potato had been sitting for so long it was hard as a rock. Salad was half the normal size. My son is 5 & he's got some food aversions. He gets the kids alfredo pasta. One of the options right on the ordering apps is NO PARMESAN CHEESE ON TOP. It was covered in shredded cheese. His broccoli was partially rotten and complete mush. The meal for 3 of us with tip included was over $80. A lot of money for two of us to be left hungry due to inability to eat the meal. We have been eating there for going on 20 years and it's steadily gone down hill. This past week they've had a kitchen fire and are closed to rebuild. I hope they get some of the kitchen staff trained better while they're dispersed to other locations temporarily. It's less than a mile from our house and used to be a favorite for us.

Nancy Perez: Really disappointed food was cold waiter was good though. They tried to make it right but I won't go there again.

Kay Winters: Great grilled chicken Avocado sandwich. Brussel sprouts weren't quite done.

Edwin Thoma: Food taste very good. Quick service. Large be selection of food & drinks. Staff friendly. Must be good as place was packed! Ample packing.

Alan Leffler: We were down here for a business trip and it was so hard to find good food places to eat. In Scottsdale, Az we have some of the best restaurants available. It was a little bit of a shock when we came to Kansas City and it was almost impossible to find late night restaurants open that were actually good. This place was great! So awesome that we went a few times during our trip! Highly impressed. Out of the 20 places we tired during our trip, this place was number one.

Nicole R Bass: By far the better of the 54th locations. Love the curbside addition, has really come in handy during covid. Fas friendly and clean. Never had an issue and a great staff.

Michelle Johnson: Melissa was a great waitress loved her service

Shari Worlledge: I came here last night with my bf and my 12 month old. I've been coming to 54 for years(several locations but mostly this one) and last night was legit the best service I've ever had at one.Our server's name was Apollo and they were so kind, attentive and aware. We seriously didn't feel like we were just a tip to them. Like they really just wanted us to have a great experience.Our food was also better than normal. My burger was cooked to PERFECTION. I always order medium wherever I go and never really get medium, usually medium well. This time it was so beautiful. My bfs steak was also perfect and juicy. Our sides were hot and fresh. My drink was delicious.I'm really not sure what they're doing differently up there but it's working. It's always been good but last night was great. Keep it up, y'all

George Michael: First time here on Friday, it was crowded. Lots of tasty food. I wanted some traditional beef, so ordered sirloin, but came out as something slightly different covered with sausage. I wouldn't order this again.

Yadira Chicas: Friendly service. Always busy, but weekdays aren't crazy on wait times. The food is pretty good, and the waitresse/waiters are pretty attentive. I like their happy hour specials 😃Features: No masks required

So I told him your the one who told me to sit and wait. There is no need for rudeness and poor customer service. I won't be going here again.

Greazy Olay: Worst experience I’ve ever had as a customer, I’m not sure if it’s because I’m an African American male, but as soon as i walked into the establishment i was yelled at and forced to be quick with my decisions.The 2 workers a older woman and a young man mentioned i wouldn’t have my order for another 15-20 minutes and i had to wait in my car i couldn’t sit inside and wait. Though when another group of customers arrived i asked them how were their experiences at this establishment, they mentioned they’ve never been here before. I told the customers about my experience before they went in, to see if we’d have similar experiences, we did not. Instead when they went in and made the workers aware, they now had my order ready 1 minutes after the scheduled pick up time.I do not appreciate this treatment!

Kenyetta Harris: I have not been to this location sense July and use to like this location, it was my favorite one. Today 9/4/22 I decided to come here a little after 3:20pm. Thinking everything was the same. I placed an order but didn’t like how the food was handled while being cooked and how the toppings looked so I canceled my order before they got finished. Things looked pretty disgusting. I will not be back to this location.

Robert Dingman: Food is good. The price is a little high but seems to be worth it.The staff will go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your meal .Great place for a quick lunch 😋

bamhvac: Have ordered from here twice in the last month or so through door dash. They always leave out the requested sauce and i end up with a dry cheese steak which is pretty bad. Should have learned my lesson the first time. I call the manager and calmly asked her to make sure they were fulfilling the orders completely which she claimed they do and told me to call door dash. Never again will I eat at any PepperJax Grill. Thanks for screwing up my lunch.

Babie: Literally every time I come here it’s an expected disappointment. Today though, I’m highly disappointed which caused me to write a review. I went in for cheese fries and came out with soggy fries and hardly any cheese. It’s bad enough the cheese (scoop) is $2.35 but seriously? Now I’m mad at myself for not checking the box and trusting they would give what I paid for.

Rachelle Clifford: Don’t understand how this company is even open. Nasty and definitely not the best philly in America. I can go to the local bar and get a way better one! Blehhhhh nasty
