E & S Original Steak-N-Take

Listen… it’s a food truck in NEWARK. It’s greasy, it’s fried, it’s everything you expect from your typical fast fried greasy food truck. So, If you are in the mood for some high carb fatty intake, this is the place to be at!!!
Always get my weekly dosage of fried fish w 2 slices of bread and or fried chicken wings and French fries. All for a lunch special of $ 5!!! Plus a lemonade, makes if $ 6!!!
For $ 6, you get food that’s really good for the soul, but don’t tell your cardiologist…
DO NOT GET THE STEAK. Although it’s a ‘steak’ truck, their cheesesteak is horrible. Stick to the fried fish whitening or chicken wings and lemonade!!!
Enjoy!

In all fairness, I“ve eaten here once and only had their cheesesteak. From what I hear their other items like fish are pretty good.
But dear god this was the worst cheesesteak I’ve ever had. Like Steve S’ picture the steak was soggy, in a non good greasy philly steak way. The steak itself was grissly and lacked any flavor at all, not even salt. Oh yeah there was a flavor, that brownish curryesque sauce they lopped on top of it. What the heck was that? I thoguht at first it was cheese, but nope it was this tasteless sauce. Who expects their to be some weird sauce on their cheesesteak? Is this not New Jersey, where we are geographically close enough to Philly to know how to make a proper steak? Come to think of it did the CHEESEsteak even have cheese on it? The bread tasted like nothing, perhaps eating paper is the best way to describe the taste. It was really just mushy tasting. Lastly, it took maybe ten minutes to make, without
As you can tell this was just awful. However I’m not here to ruin someone’s business. I’ve seen this truck around for years, so they must be doing something right. I urge others to add their reviews. I’m simply being honest, but again I’ve only been here once and perhaps they’ve gotten better in the six months since I’ve been here. I’d simply caution against eatong the steak.

Ditto to what Steve S. says. I’m a brave soul and took a bite of the «cheesesteak» myself, but regretted it the moment it hit my lips. Awful. Just awful. A more appropriate title for this food truck would be «Steak and Taint.»

Oh boy… I’ve been waiting for a week to do this review…
So last week a co-​worker of mine picked up lunch for us and he went to Steak and Take over on Mulberry here in Newark. Now I don’t want to claim that I’m some kind of cheesteak connoisseur, but I’ve eaten a lot of cheesesteaks and I know a good one from a bad one. Folks, the one we opened up last week was the worst thing I’ve ever seen called a cheesesteak. I say we do this review from a sensory perspective because it was an offense to all five senses.
Smell
I wish we had smell-​o-​vision because that was the first thing that started me down this one star debacle. When I unwrapped this monstrosity the aroma (or odor, you pick the term) was not the delicious cooked steak and cheese aroma that you get from pretty much any other cheesesteak (even cooking steak-​ums at home), but it was rather a sour mustardy odor that immediately made me turn up my nose at the thing. The ‘aroma’ made iit difficult to even get to the point where I wanted to taste this thing.
Sight
After getting past the smell, we went to the next sense-​sight– and this thing didn’t look good either. I mean it wasn’t quite as bad as some of the diapers I pulled off my kids, but it looked awful. The meat was covered in this yellowish sauce that didn’t help the presentation one bit.
Taste
Onto taste — here is where my taste buds rebelled and turned on me for the rest of the day (I tasted this thing the rest of the day). I took a bite of the cheesesteak, chewed it for about 5 seconds and my mouth and throat wouldn’t allow me to continue and I had to spit it out-​it was terrible. My co-​worker, a veteran, put it simply «I’ve had a cheesesteak from an Army dining facility in Afghanistan that tasted better.» I didn’t want to review this based on five seconds of chewing so I pulled off some of the bread and tried it separately and it was actually decent, but when I did the same thing with the guts of the sandwich I came to the same conclusion-​awful. There is some kind of sauce they put on this thing that tasted like a combination of curry and mustard and BBQ that just didn’t work… AT ALL. Just writing this is making me not want to eat lunch today.
Touch
Touch? How could a sandwich offend the sense of Touch? Here’s how, the grizzle I was chewing as I was looking for something positive to say about this sandwich sent me over the edge-​it wasn’t bad enough that it smelled bad, tasted bad and looked bad, I also had to try to choke down some grizzly meat as well. Sorry, strike four.
Hearing
Finally, the sad sound of throwing 97% of a cheesesteak into the garbage was too much. Not only did I have to throw it out, I had to take the sandwich out into the hallway so I wouldn’t smell it for the rest of the day. Then the sounds of my co-​workers all discussing this sandwich made me want to hide my head in the sand…
I can assure you that my SIXTH SENSE is telling me that there is no way, at any time in the future, that I will ever stop at Steak and Take for anything resembling food. Honestly, for those of you that eat here regularly, God Bless you and your iron stomach’s…I don’t care if we hit them on a bad day, I won’t be back-​not even if someone else was willing to pay for lunch… I’ll go hungry.
