3.5 stars. I was brought in by the claims of how large the "RoethlisBurger" is by vendors and other shoppers in the Strip District and I had to see it in person.
Peppi's has a dive-y sort of place but in a good way. The flat top grill is behind the counter in the front and the back of Peppi's has a couple tables and booths with Steelers paraphernalia on the walls.
I wasn't too hungry so I ended up ordering "The Phantom", which was a cheese steak with grilled mushrooms, onions, and a fried egg. My companions got a mushroom cheese steak and the famed #7, the "RoethlisBurger" itself. All the sandwiches come with the basic fixin's of lettuce tomato, etc. and are a foot long.
The Phantom was a little smaller than I expected, but the flavors of the ingredients in the sandwich melded together wonderfully. My only complaint is that I would have liked a little more meat. After some searching online, apparently all their steak subs only have a quarter pound of steak.
For some reason based on the picture of the RoethlisBurger in the window outside we thought it was going to be a lot bigger. I guess camera angles can be deceiving. It's a mix of chopped burger and sausage with American cheese and a fried egg.
Overall I would have liked it a bit more if the sandwiches were served a bit faster (some people who ordered after us got their food first) and a bit more meat.
Anyways, I'm definitely going to be back to try the RoethlisBurger since now I view it as a potentially tasty sandwich as opposed to just a ridiculously impossible food challenge.
