This is a great little place with fantastic food. There are not many options, which is good and I recommend the Italian Stallion. The prices are a little high for sandwiches but good for the gas lamp area. The food will fill you up. The food is also a little bit slow but it’s all prepared fresh so it’s worth it.

Lefty’s Famous Cheesy exceeded my expectations in every way. The food was beyond incredible, boasting flavors that left my taste buds in awe. Not only that, but the customer service provided was truly top-notch, ensuring a delightful dining experience from start to finish. I am more than thrilled to recommend Lefty’s to my friends and family – it’s a culinary gem that deserves to be cherished and celebrated.

Located in San Diego’s Gas Lamp District, cute clean and quick service. Pricey $16.99 for a 10”. Good quality and flavor. Atmosphere is great. You can sit in an open window counter and people watch. Enjoyed it very much. Popular spot!

Super delicious cheesesteaks! Everything from bread to meat was made perfectly. Very friendly and cool staff. Reasonably priced, well worth the meal. Strongly recommended. The back patio is also a quiet and calm place to sit. All in all, this was one of my best meals in San Diego. Would love to go back.

Tables were dirty. Food was over priced, and I was charged more than the menu price before taxes for my sandwich. $20 for a mediocre cheese steak. Bathroom is out of order and one of the soda machine drinks is unavailable.

Cheesesteak is very good. The bread is thick enough to keep everything in without falling apart, and tastes fresh. The steak, cheese, and toppings are plentiful. Disappointingly, this location no longer appears to serve chicken wings, only chicken tenders, which are only OK. They are flat and crispy, but aren’t very meaty. Definitely recommend the Cajun fries, they are seasoned well and crispy.

This was an incredibly happy accident. We were just strolling around looking for a bite to eat and happened upon this place. Not only are these actually the best cheesesteak sandwiches I’ve ever had, the service was absolutely exemplary.
