Backstory: I waited to try a philly cheesesteak until I was able to go to Philadelphia to get one which wasn't until 2013. It was worth the wait. Since, I have made it my business to try phillys at any restaurant that sells them.
Penn Station has the closest to the real thing in Charlotte that I have had. Yes it could use more meat and the bread should be seasoned with the meat juices but the flavor is spot on. It has the peppers and onions and mushrooms and all the condiments. This was hubbys sub and he was mad bc I kept eating his.
I had the chicken parm. I give it a 'C' for effort. It's just chunks of chicken breast drenched in pizza sauce and then cheese. It's not breaded and fried like chicken parm usually is. It's not screaming to me chicken parm instead it scream pizza sauce with chicken chunks. There is absolutely no flavor other than pizza sauce. I was disappointed with this sub. Then my favorite came the french fries. They seemed fresh kinda like that guy restaurant that has five in the name. I enjoyed the fries and hubbys sub. I will try it again because unless it's just bad everyone gets a second chance.
