Great Steak & Potato ®

About Us

Our Brand

The Great Steak^TM brand was founded in order to introduce the rest of the world to the delectable sandwich synonymous with Philadelphia – the cheesesteak. Though times have changed since the first Great Steak restaurant opened in Dayton, Ohio in 1984, we're proud to carry on the tradition of the distinctive, unforgettable, nothing-like-it cheesesteak. Today, with more than two decades of history and locations across the United States and abroad, we continue to introduce the world to
"America's Premier Cheesesteak."

Our Product

At Great Steak, every meal is customized using quality cuts of meat and real cheeses combined with a choice of onions, peppers and mushrooms, all sizzled to perfection and served on freshly baked bread. Great Steak's own Philly Cheese Sauce, a number of unique sauces along with a proprietary blend of seasonings round out the recipe that makes each cheesesteak one-of-a-kind. In addition to cheesesteaks, Great Steak prepares a variety of other mouth-watering meals. Build your own baked potatoes, Great Fries, fresh salads and a number of specialty grilled sandwiches are also available and prepared with the same commitment to quality and freshness as the original Great Steak cheesesteak.
