Reviews
Although the food is absolutely amazing when it’s on point, this establishment frustrates me because when I crave a philly, this is the first place I think of. That first visit had me hooked on an amazing taste but the other visits makes me feel like drug addict, chasing that “first hit” experience knowing that it is a hit or miss. (No, I never done drugs but I’ve been living long enough to know some people who have so I used that example in this review ) Needless to say, I’m sure I will try again in a week or so to see if they get it right ♀️
Third visit: (about a month from 2nd Visit)
My conclusion is that once you find what you like, stick with it! Don’t “try” different things and make sure you confirm your order before you pay. I ordered my “usual” philly cheesteak and it was absolutely amazing. I just wish it was “consistent” like they advertise.
Second visit: (less than a week from first visit)
I ordered the same type philly steak and a turkey wrap. First of all, the Philly steak was not as good as my first visit. I asked for sweet peppers and they were missing. The turkey wrap was supposed to be hot (the cashier asked if I wanted it hot only to find out that it wasn’t possible to do ♀️) and very dry. I went back in to tell them they made my sandwiches wrong. They gave me a little cup of sweet peppers and sent me on my way with no apology or anything. I’m very disappointed especially since I spent $30 for two sandwiches and the company brags about how consistent they’ve been since 1985 or so.
First visit:
I have been looking for a good philly cheesesteak and unfortunately, I have spent a lot of money being disappointed until I found this spot!! We were expecting a snow storm in the area and it had started coming down so I thought I would try this place out on my way home from a doctor’s appt. To my surprise, upon entering there were many people sitting and standing around waiting for orders. I approached a gentleman and asked his opinion of the food there. His response, “It’s about a 20 min wait but you won’t find better.” Convinced, I approached the counter and ordered a 12″ cheesesteak with onions, sweet peppers and extra mayo (I hate a dry sandwich) which came to a little over $18. While waiting, I paid attention to the constant flow of customers coming in and out which I found impressive because here in VA people shut their lives down when they even hear that snow is coming! One thing that was a hit or miss for me was the ol’skool 70s music playing. Although I enjoyed it, when they called your name/number for your order, you may not have heard it clearly because the music was playing too loudly. After waiting about 20/25 minutes, I received my order and almost ran to my car. I didn’t wait to get home. I immediately opened it and bit into it. Oh to the Em to the Gee!! THIS IS WHAT MY TASTE BUDS HAVE BEEN WANTING TO FIND!! Real, authentic steak, chopped (no steakums), with sauteed onions, sweet peppers, salt /pepper, oil and spices, yellow cheese and the mayo in the crevice of the bread (so that it’s not dry). Absolute perfection!!
I may not live close by but no matter where I am, this place will be my go to spot for Philly cheesesteaks. I will not waste my money elsewhere again.
Another thing that I love about this place is that their menu is not just exclusive to cheesesteaks, so I will go back and try other items. Follow for future reviews on this location!
I just wanted a warm, cheesey cheesesteak, y’all. Make me wait 35 minutes just to piss me off after I said “GREAT CHEESESTEAK.”
Its a great cheesesteak but you need to order it 2 hours before you plan on eating it. The wait times are ridiculous, respectfully.
