| - I used to live near Philly as a kid. When I had Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, I can ignore the fact that my parents were clogging my arteries with these things because all I can think about was just how damn happy I was.
Fast-forward a good 14-15 years later: when I get nostalgic for some of the best food of my life and want to punish my body, this is my poison of choice. Throughout the years, I've had a lot of crap pseudo-Philly cheesesteaks and they're all embarrassing until you've had them from here.
The meat can be a little inconsistent as another reviewer mentioned; some are fattier than others. Personally, I don't like a ton of gristle in mine because I want to be able to eat the damn thing without worrying about dying on a Philly cheesesteak (although, if I'm going to go out, there are worse ways to die.)
The cheese is velvety, but you definitely want to eat these things before the hoagie bread gets cold and the cheese thickens. It's really hard to eat after that. If you don't believe me, watch the Man v. Food episode where Adam Richman nearly kills himself eating these cold.
I used to get this last year when I lived on the other side of town with my roommate. Both he and I gained like 5 lbs. that semester, but it was worth it to knock back some of these sandwiches after a rough day at the lab and classes. It's fairly expensive if you order it through Campus Food, so you're better off just coming in to the store.
Now, I mostly come here especially for the Lunch Special--french fries, sandwich, and coke for like $6.99 or something. It's pretty sexy.
