The writing on the outside cracked me up. I like their passion.
This place is tiny, but very cute inside. There is no bathroom inside, so keep that in mind if you decide to go and chug soda.
I do have to say its another one of those places where the pictures of the cheesesteaks on the menu board don't look right, so it made us think these steaks may not be so great.
Chris ordered his regular cheesesteak, no onions, I ordered mine with onions and green bell pepper. Both were made with American cheese. I ordered the "Philly Fries" which basically just means that they have seasoned salt on them, Chris got plain fries.
The food took awhile to come out, but once we got it, it was piping hot.
The cheesesteak didn't look that great, but I have to say it did taste better than I expected. Now that being said, the meat was a little burnt for me, and I thought it was a bit bland. I also wasn't a fan of the bread. Chris didn't like the bread either, and he thought there was way too much of it. Although he did seem to like the cheesesteak more than me. He actually liked the meat. Here is a shot of all the bread Chris didn't eat:
You can see that the meat to bread ratio wasn't good, and the bread was hard and dry on top and darker than I prefer. Not the best roll for a cheesesteak. My homegirl Maria reviewed the photos of the rolls and told me she is pretty sure they are the Mexican rolls you buy from barrels in the store. Again, not the best choice for a cheesesteak.
Here you can see how some of the meat was burnt:
The fries were good, and of course Chris liked my fries with the seasoning. I thought they could have used more seasoning actually. Originally we both wanted cheese fries, but they don't do that at this place, which is a bummer. These fries were begging for cheese.
The staff here was very friendly, and they kept telling us "Pay later, pay later." Chris liked that, he felt like they were trusting us. So we paid at the end of our meal. I have to say their prices are a tad more expensive than I think they should be. The man who runs the place is adorable, and asked us if we were happy with our food, and he also gave us a "Lunch Bunch Club" card which would give your 10th sandwich free. Very kind of him, but I doubt that we will be back. Just not the best place to go if you're really craving a cheesesteak. And I don't really want to try a hoagie there. Perhaps a torta?
