What People Are Saying
from Google"I stopped by in the evening to try the famous chopped cheese and it was absolutely worth the trip. The sandwich was exactly what it should be—seasoned ground beef chopped up with onions and melted American cheese, topped with lettuce, tomato, and classic condiments on a hero. Simple, filling, and really satisfying. Service was fast and efficient, even with a steady flow of people coming through, including plenty of international visitors checking out the original spot. It has that classic bodega feel and delivers a true New York staple done right. If you want to try the chopped cheese where it all started, this place lives up to its reputation."
"We came for the famous chopped cheese and it did not disappoint. Worth making the trip to Harlem if you are visiting NYC for the first time. Till operator was super friendly and the ambience added to the NYC experience"
"Was recommended this for a chopped cheese whilst on vacation. Did not disappoint was amazing and the staff were friendly. Also very reasonably priced."
"This spot is the birthplace of the iconic chopped cheese sandwich—and it absolutely lives up to the hype. Sometimes the original can disappoint, but not here. The chopped cheese is incredibly flavorful, cooked to perfection with care and just the right amount of sizzle. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and took his time to make sure everything was just right. To top it off, we even got to meet the man who invented the sandwich—also a genuinely nice guy. No long wait, great prices, and unbeatable flavor. Highly recommend if you want the real deal."
"Service spot on. Had the OG chopped cheese. It was good. Couldn’t really find the beef, but was still good. Gobbled it up. Nice flavor. But really skimpy on the meat."
