Let’s start off with what I ordered and sampled. I ordered a steak sammich, Wario’s Way, and I sampled my friend’s chicken cesar and cheesy potato spuds.
As for my steak sammich, it was good. I don’t notice much of a flavor difference between their cheesesteak and Penn Station’s. However, this thing has WAY more steak. It’s a huge sammich, truly. And they load this thing up with cheese. But all the cheese is on the bottom of the bun. So you have to take two bites to get all the flavors together.
The veggies on top didn’t seem to add much to the flavor. Probably wouldn’t have noticed any difference in the sammich if they weren’t there.
The chicken cesar was phenomenal though. I wish I had ordered it. The chicken was super crispy, the veggies were crisp, and that sauce….Holy bejeebus that sauce is amazing.
The potato spuds with cheese, steak, garlic etc….very meh. They were fine, but just that, fine.
All in all, I’ll go 5 stars overall. The staff was friendly and the dining area is nice. The food however does not live up to the hype. It’s also not cheap. $22 for a sammich is expensive, especially when it doesn’t stand out that much from other cheesesteaks that I’ve had for a little more than half that.
Honestly this place is a sloppy version of the downtown one. Some how the original location crams more into your sandwich and it doesn’t get soggy even 3 days later. Unlike today’s subs at the Clintonville location that were soggy as soon as we get home (8mins away). I think they slice the bread too far open and use too much sauce which causes the crease to get soggy and fall apart and w how much in in the sub it makes it almost impossible to eat once that happens. BUT even w the that the taste is still so worth it! We will see how well the other halves hold up tomorrow 🙁
Even my kids and toddler love their food!

You don’t explain Wario’s. You take a bite, pause mid-chew, and suddenly understand. That “Wait… what did I just bite into?” moment? Yeah. That’s how it starts.
Wario’s doesn’t rely on gimmicks. It leans on craft. You can taste the intention behind every choice — the meats, the sauces, even the bread.
If you’re side-eyeing that $17 price tag, I hear you. But this isn’t overpriced lunch meat in disguise — it’s culinary-level food disguised as a sandwich.
The bread? A seeded semolina roll. Nutty, chewy, crisp outside, airy inside. Not filler — a foundational flex.
The Steak (Wario’s Way) comes with shaved ribeye, grilled onions, and house whiz — elevated with caramelized onions and garlic aioli. Normally I avoid cheese whiz, but this one’s seasoned and balanced. Pro tip: ask for light whiz. And those onions? Sweet, soft, and borderline French onion soup status.
The Roasted Pork sandwich is slow-roasted, juicy, and paired with broccoli rabe, picante provolone, and pork jus. Bold, herby, and worth it.
The Chicken Caesar sandwich delivers — crispy chicken, parmesan, romaine, Caesar dressing. Crunch meets creamy.
Chicken A La Vodka? Surprisingly good. Burrata, pesto, and crispy chicken make it work, even for a vodka sauce skeptic.
Cold Cut and Vegetarian sandwiches? Haven’t tried them. Not in this economy — not when pork shoulder is on deck.
The Spuds (smashed potatoes) are crispy outside, soft inside, and herbed with cheese. A perfect side when they’re on point.
The Pasta Salad looks beautiful but could use more flavor — maybe lemon, salt, or bolder dressing.
Location-wise, Clintonville is my favorite. Clean, efficient, and focused on the food. Other locations (Nationwide, East Market) are good but faster-paced.
They do sell out often. Follow them on Instagram for updates. Yes, they’re pricier — but you taste every dollar in the quality, flavor, and care.
Bottom line: Wario’s doesn’t overdo. It just does everything well. Real food. Real care. Real flavor.
If you’ve been wondering if it’s worth it? It is.
The service was remarkable and I loved the busy-kitchen environment they had going on! Great spot. I will be coming back!
