| - Tried this place for the 1st time today becuase I love Philly steaks, this place is close to work, and it had such good reviews. Overall I was dissapointed. It's not terrible, but it's really not that great either. I ordered a regular Philly cheese steak with just meat, and cheese. Normally i like to add some spicier options to my cheese steak, but the options here were limited. I do not like onions, or mushrooms, so I was left to just get a fairly plain cheese steak. I wish they had some sort of hot peppers, but if they do it was not clearly advertised anywhere. The bread was fantastic, seemed like it was homemade. For cheese they have options of cheese whiz, provolone, or American. I ordered provolone. The cheese was ok. The dissapointing part was the meat. They used sliced beef instead of chopped. I am not against either option. The issue was that the meat severely lacked in flavor. It seemed like there were absolutely no spices or anything to this meat. The meat needs to have flavor otherwise what is the point. I would much rather have a cheese steak from Capriotis sandwich shop or several other places that I have ordered from in the past. I was excited to try this place, but sadly I can in no way give a 4 star, in fact this was a toss up between 2-3. I love it when family owned (mom and pop) types of places open up, they are usually very good, but this is not one of the great ones from my experience. Also, the price was around $9 for a regular cheese steak. I would have expected my sandwich to be a bit fuller for that price. I know without the extra toppings the size is smaller automatically, but it was still slightly undersized for the price I paid.
