| - First time here since moving from Central PA to PGH. I was looking forward to a reasonable representation of a good cheesesteak from Philadelphia (my favorite is Jim's). Unfortunately, this isn't quite it.
I ordered a provolone wit', and the cashier (who may have been new, though) only kind of half got what I said and had to confirm that I wanted an "original", with provolone cheese, and that I did want the fried onions.
It was when he asked if I wanted lettuce and tomato that I knew I was probably in for something less than perfect.
The sandwich I got was passable but was far from something "straight outta Philly." The meat that was being cooked on the grill looked more like a big flat slice of processed meat, not good ribeye. It was also very light on the meat (compared to Jim's) and a bit dry as well. The flavor was also a bit bland.
That said, it wasn't a *bad* sandwich, just not up to par with ones in the cheesesteak's native land. I guess that's to be expected--though I've actually had quite excellent representations of cheesesteaks in such far flung places as Paso Robles, CA, and I was hoping that one a bit closer to home would be even better.
I'll give them another try, but color me a bit disappointed--I had my hopes up that they'd satisfy my Flufya food craving, and it didn't meet that bar.
