Place is still legendary. While the good ole captain has passed his son Nick has def kept the place going. Just got my first captain Gus cheesesteak in 25 years!!! Still the same amazing food.

First, the staff is incredibly friendly and nice. I had to go in and pay for seven different orders separately and they didn’t even bat an eye. The food was also ready in the exact time they said it would be. The cheesesteak is one of the best I’ve had in Lancaster, and I’m not even a marinara on a cheesesteak kind of guy. The meat was super flavorful and it had plenty of cheese. So many places really lack in the cheese department, but not Gus’s. The fries were a bit soggy, but let’s face it, I wasn’t there for the fries. Overall, this place is better than half the “talked about” places in Philly.

Classic little shop been there for ages. I remember coming as a child and having gone in there, it's nostalgic. Inflation makes it hard, but the staff is very cool and professional.
