No, this isn't a new restaurant. For 30 years, east Charlotte enjoyed the Steak 'n Hoagie Shop and due to roadwork, they have found a new home in Stallings...and I'm grateful.
I would drive by the Burger Shop and think maybe but it never had enough cars out front for me to go inside. That closed, the building looked dilapidated but one day, it opened as Kavkaz. Every time I drove by Kavkaz, I thought of that Seinfeld when Jerry convinced Babu to open a Pakistani restaurant that failed. I think he was deported or something...I loved that show.
Anyway, the Steak 'n Hoagie Shop opened and its doing very well.
I tried just a regular cheesesteak along with the onion rings and I must say, I'm impressed. Since I've been down here, I have yet to have a really great cheesesteak (had a couple good ones, lots of someone's interpretation of a philly) until now. Everything was very good and even the onion rings were great. I look forward to going back and being more adventurous with my order. The only disappointment is that I wish they had fried mushrooms but oh well.
