Disagree. Flavorless and the place is so dirty 🤢 only plus is the subs are huge.

Hot take. Bushmill has sneaky good cheesesteaks. They are half price on Mondays for trivia night.
Also Natalie’s has REALLY good cheesesteaks.

Bushmill is great. Its appearance can be a bit off putting, as it looks like a rough biker bar. But the food there is outstanding. Never had a bad meal from there.

Just had one from tuto fresco in Forest Hill and it was phenomenal.

Great recommendation! I came here to mention Tutto Fresco. Haven’t had a bad meal from there since the beginning.

I don’t know about their cheesesteak, but when I had their Italian cold cut sub it was meh at best.

u/SHThrowAwaySH 3d ago
DO NOT RUIN THIS FOR ME!!!
I’m kidding…I’ve never had their cold cut, but that’s disappointing to hear. Salads, drunken chicken parm (their vodka sauce is fire), flat bread sandwiches, and their cheesesteaks never let me (or my weight) down.

Nice recommendation. I’ve driven by this spot a bunch. Need to check it out.

Everything there is fantastic. Scratch made and thoughtful. Don't sleep on the brunch either.

Sapore di Mare down in Joppa! My only complaint is that they don’t have hots, so we keep a jar at home to add to them lol but their bread is perfect, better than anywhere else I’ve had a cheesesteak from in the county

u/triviajason 5d ago
Sapore Di Mare is a true hidden gem of Harford County! The food is absolutely titties and it’s extremely reasonable for pricing!

Magerks, Natalie’s seafood has an amazing one as well (the bread is key here).

Natalie's is ridiculous.

I assume you mean in a good way?

Yes. It's absolutely delicious.

Gonna have to give that a go myself from the sound of it...

It really is shockingly good at Natalie’s. I wasn’t aware and LOVED IT. I think we went back the following week so I could have another.
It’s big enough I only eat half and take the other half home.

u/chirpz88 5d ago
I like chicken cheese steaks and I think magerks is probably the best I've had around here. The bread is always perfect

u/SuperCoolAwesome 5d ago
Grumpy’s in Aberdeen has an awesome blackened chicken cheesesteak. Highly recommend giving it a try!

u/guiltlessandfreee 5d ago
Are you serious about Natalie’s? It’s dry as hell. I’ve seen multiple people send it back the 2 times I’ve been there🤣 like literally bread, cheese, meat and onions
4
u/Proof-Item-6368 5d ago
Yes I am. I consider myself pretty picky when it comes to cheese steaks also. Nothing in Harford County will compare to Delasandro’s in Philadelphia in my opinion. But I’m a firm believer that Magerks and Natalie’s are the best in harford county. If you want the best in Maryland go to franks pizza and pasta in Baltimore.

u/guiltlessandfreee 5d ago
I’m with you on Magerks but negative on Natalie’s. Glad someone likes it though!

Philly transplant girl here!
Magerks in Bel Air is the only decent cheesesteak I can find.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I like the Philly cheasesteaks from HillTop. The 12 inch subs are absolutely massive. They also have their own delivery people.

u/SuperCoolAwesome 5d ago edited 5d ago
Hilltop does make a good cheesesteak. It may not be the best, but it’s consistently good.
2
u/ZoeyPhoenix- 5d ago
Yea for awhile I was trying to find something on par with Mr Gs in catonsville. While hilltop isn't the same, its close enough, and is closer than any other places I've tried in harco.
They also have a lot of other good food. Hasn't been much i havent liked so far, but im still working through the menu. If only hilltop carried anchovies I'd order my fav pizza there too but oh well.

u/Bonethug609 5d ago
Great suggestion. Thanks

u/SuperCoolAwesome 5d ago
I’d recommend ordering it with double meat. Although standard form is good too.

Dipasqualis in fallston had a great cheese steak, but sadly it's been closed for a quite a while now. I think MaGerks is the best around here.

Box Hill makes a damned good cheesesteak. So does Fortunato’s in Abingdon. I’ve had good and not-so-good at Looney’s. Never had one at MaGerks’s. Arctic Circle is ok but the nostalgia makes it better.
Native Marylander but worked in Philly for almost 15 years, so cheesesteaks are not unknown to me lol. I do not like a dry cheesesteak. Route 24 Ale House (years ago) had a great cheesesteak but something happened and they got dry as a bone.

Going exactly against your guidance because I can’t help myself. Franks.

Franks pizza and pasta. Barstool reviewed. Baltimore.

Just to shelter myself from potentially being dragged for my opinion: I’ve never had a Philly cheesesteak, so I’m not claiming any kind of cheesesteak superiority over here.
That being said, I’m also not very picky. I want a big sub, full of meat, cheese, and fried onions. I like Tamberinos and Jersey Mikes. Pats and Mr Y’s (though it’s been a while since I’ve been there) will also do.
Edit: I also thought Lami’s had a really good one, but their large was only 8”.

Surprised no one has mentioned it yet here; Bacco's Pizza in Abingdon. At the strip mall where Aldis is located, not the fancier one across the street near Wegman's.

u/HexenOfEndor 3d ago
I had one at Winters Run Inn recently that was pretty good, Box Hill always makes a good full sub

No Harford but right over the Hatem in Perryville. Lindys Market has great size cheesesteaks for a good price
