| - This was either not covered in the other reviews, or I totally missed it... but, you can order Bogtrotters' subs from The Old Angle bar on the corner. Being a newbie here, I was told this by the owner/chef.
I ordered the Philly. Even though it's called "The Philly" it's not a Philly Cheesesteak. It is a roast beef sub done Philly-style...with home made cheese sauce (better than whiz), grilled onions and grilled mushrooms. I got mine wet, crunch, and without onions..
I have to say that this was a damn-near perfect sandwich. The roast beef was tender and seasoned perfectly. The cheese sauce was rich and delicious. And the bread was quality bakery bread. And it wasn't hard or dry in the least. I think some people are assuming the bun would be some crappy hot dog bun or soft sub bun, but its not. Its crusty and sturdy. And it needs to be...especially if you get your sandwich wet or soaked.
Either way, you're gonna want to have a fork & knife and plenty o' napkins because at some point, unless you can down this monstrous sandwich quickly, the jus-soaked bun is going to give out on you.
Loved the sandwich, loved the atmosphere, and the chef/owner was super nice. I'll be back. I just wish it wasn't so far away from where I live.
Only con - street parking sucks here.
