| - I've always been a fan of Pop's Philly sandwiches, even though they are a little expensive. And while the now-defunct Triple Play was better (and cheaper), this is the place to go if you're craving a cheesesteak.
We ordered one provolone and one Cheez Whiz, both with onions. At $10 a pop (plus an extra $5 for fries and tip), this was a pricey lunch! But we don't eat there often (and no one should probably be making a cheesesteak part of their daily diet), so the splurge was worth it. Plenty of meat, nice chewy bread, and a healthy (or not) helping of cheese on each. The fries were kind of mushy, but they served their purpose. Next time we'll try the fried okra. (They also have fried mushrooms, sweet potato fries, and a few other sides that didn't appeal to me.)
If you take a trip to the A-frame building, know your protocol before stepping up to the window: Order on the left, watch the guy make your food, then pay on the right. There's a small outdoor dining area if you want to breathe in the smells of fried onions and exhaust fumes from passing cars. Otherwise, do what we do: Take your cheesesteaks home, where you can enjoy them with a nice cold beverage of your choosing.
