What to say about this place. When I went to Philadelphia a year-and-a-half ago, I took the task of finding a good cheesesteak pretty seriously. I avoided the local tourist haunts and went to a rough part of town just to get a very authentic Cheesesteak. It was completely worth it and I feel like this gives me a good standard to judge Forefathers.
Very friendly workers and you can tell the place was pretty new. I ordered a typical cheese steak with peppers and decided to see what they could make me. They made me a pretty darn good one! It had all the good ingredients and everything tasted pretty good. However it just didn't taste that authentic. It just had a bit of a corporate taste to it that wasn't quite what I would have liked. I knew they were really trying but they just didn't quite replicate that old Philadelphia charm that I got to enjoy once. Maybe someday they will, though!
