I have literally had a better cheesesteak and fries from more than one college cafeteria.
Have fun biting into (admittedly good) bread half the time while the meager portion of steak crumbles fly out everywhere. The absolutely plain fries aren't going to save you from disappointment. I ordered the "bomb steak" which is unique in that it for some reason uses pickled peppers. And regarding this beef...it's cool that you're chopping it up, but annoying that no one meal preps, and as a result all you hear is the clanging of a metal spatula on the grill over all other activity for the entirety of your meal. You can take it easy, as all that pulverizing completely kills the texture. This is probably an exaggeration, but they might be able to replace it with ground beef, and no one will be the wiser.
Other than that, I do appreciate the charm of this place. The brick walls and cozy design tell you it's one of the older buildings in midtown. The ubiquitous coca cola ads--on the table, the umbrellas over the outdoor seating, etc.--take me back to a time in which being mainstream and average was a-ok. Times have changed, but this place clearly has not. And I respect that. I hope it continues for 20 more. It'll probably do so just fine without my business, which it is unlikely to receive again.
