| - I'll definitely give them 4 stars for their Tuesday special "Phil Size" cheesesteak for $5 +tax, and really great fries with gravy (I'm not really a poutine fan) because everything is pretty tasty and decadent.
That said, $14.99 for a moderately stuffed full size sub is a bit steep to me, so only portion vs. price is a tiny bit weak at regular full price.
Provolone plus cheese wiz with only onions is traditional to Philly, and my fave, and I've tried the Chipotle sauce, HP sauce, Philthy Sauce, and horsey sauce and they are all pretty good, as is the quality of the meat & bread, plus I really like their fresh-cut fries.
Which brings me to an old pet peeve of mine - this weird obsession many people have to "crispy" as the only measure of a good french-fry.
I couldn't possibly disagree more - the best fries are FRESH-CUT, not frozen, and they show a lot of delicious caramelization flavour - i.e.- BROWN - and they are NOT white, anemic, and made artificially crispy by having some chemical soup of starches applied. The best fries are brown and soft and were whole potatoes just hours ago, and they taste like it, they are not white and processed and crispy, poured from plastic bags of frozen.
The cheesesteaks are pretty good, the fries are VERY good, the onion rings are large and from the freezer and just ok, but overall. I like the place.
