I live right around the corner and have had the cheese steak 4 times now. That is all I go in for and that is what my rating is based on. The rest of the menu is just filler.
The sandwich is authentic ... Reminds me of the market in Philly. Seasoned well. Good bun. Don't anyone complain about the Cheeze Whiz as it is required for a proper sandwich. Staple since the 60's in Philly.
Here is unfortunately why the place won't last in my neighborhood.
1. What's the deal with the papier mache sign out front? Looks like a regurgitated sandwich. They should have kept the same simple signage like downtown.
2. Not inviting. The place doesn't look appealing.
3. Price. It's not a reasonably price sandwich for what you get. A couple of times they skimped on the meat.
4. Daily Special: Hasn't changed since the day they moved in. (Haven't checked in about a month though). Guess it is hard to have a daily special when you only serve 1 main item.
I hope they do well as the last thing we need in the neighborhood is another nail salon or massage parlor to take its place.
