My buddy Chris was itchin' to go try Boo's Philly Cheesesteaks. He had driven by it a few times, and apparently Chris doesn't read my blog because he had to ask me if Boo's was good. On the day that we planned to go, I was actually pretty sick and almost cancelled. I really thought that there was no way I could get out of bed. But then I thought of having a delicious chicken cheesesteak, and I knew I had to go.
Chris was so excited that he showed up with his fancy camera and took most of these lovely pictures that you are seeing here today. In fact, you can probably tell the two that came from my camera, they aren't as fancy. Chris ordered a plain cheesesteak with provolone, and I ordered a chicken cheesesteak with onions and American cheese. We also ordered cheese fries.
Chris loved that Boo's is a corner location. He also liked the atmosphere inside and thought it felt very authentic. He liked how it smelled inside too.
Our food came out to us quickly and it looked good.
Chris thought the meat was a little chewy, but not necessarily in a bad way, and he liked the flavor of the meat. He didn't think there was quite enough provolone. I told him I think its because it doesn't melt nearly as good as American cheese, so next time he will do American or whiz. He also liked the roll.
I liked my chicken cheesesteak a lot. This to me is exactly how its supposed to taste...perfectly seasoned, meat chopped up just right, and the perfect amount of cheese melty in every bite. Using shredded chicken just like the steak is essential. A lot of places don't understand this, and they use huge chunks of chicken breast, and I hate that. I think next time I go to Boo's, I will add bell pepper to my chicken cheesesteak. I always have the cherry hots on the side, and I add them in as I go.
Chris was not a huge fan of the cheese fries. We both thought there needed to be more cheese, next time I may just ask for the cheese on the side. I thought the actual fries were good, but they reminded Chris of Burger King fries and he's not a big fan of those.
We bought some Tastykake pies at the end of our meal, Apple and Cherry.
Overall Chris really liked Boo's and thinks its one of the best places we've been to. He also said he will go back and recommend it as well. I think Boo's is great, and the chicken cheesesteak impressed me even more. I think this is going to become one of my regular spots.
