(Stares at Jenny and David).\nI am VERY fussy, with lots of restaurant and roadfood experience, I've visited here many times, and I'll give you the straight scoop. ;-)\n\nThis joint is legit!\nGreat fries, clearly 100% fresh-cut on-site (stare), nicely browned, thinner cut 1/4\", not shoestring, and very similar to excellent old-school Swiss Chalet fries from the past. For me, they are up there among the very best in the city!\n\nCheesesteaks are real-deal ribeye (not mystery meat - stare again) sliced thin and then spatula-chopped on the flat top grill while cooking, exactly as mandated by the philly gods. 'Wit' onions, real provolone, goopy whiz and a sweet-hot cherry pepper (don't ask for green peppers and look like a noob!) complete a near-perfect cheesesteak.\n\nThe ONLY reasons they dont get the full 5 stars from me are slightly more than acceptable amount of inconsistency on meat quantity and cooking from cook-to-cook (stick with Julie in the daytime if possible ;-) ) and their bread. The bun is large, soft, and tasty, but just a HINT too soft - missing the slightly chewy outer crust necessary to safely avoid sandwich disintegration and deliver the 100% genuine crazy-for-their-bread Philadelphia experience.\n\nThat said, i am admittedly nit-picking - this place is GREAT, and will be seeing LOTS of my discretionary foodie dollars!"^^ . .
