Our story

One family, one griddle, a stubborn Philly streak

I opened Sak's in 2014 for a pretty dumb, simple reason. You couldn't get a real Philly cheesesteak anywhere near Clayton, and it bugged me until I finally did something about it. Nobody handed me a franchise playbook. There was no corporate test kitchen. Just my family, a griddle, and a stubborn streak I blame entirely on Philadelphia.

I still bring the rolls in from Philly, because some things you just don't cheap out on. I still try to know your name and your usual. And Mattie and Grace? They've got your order before you finish saying it. This place is ours, but after all these years, it kind of feels like yours too.
