Philly Cheesesteaks - Spare Yourself
(June/July 2006)By Warren Rojas
It’s tough to fault the overworked staff at this bustling carryout operation, but their puny steak and cheese facsimile doesn’t even hold a candle to the other subs on the local cheese steak circuit.
The chopped steak is decent enough, but it’s mostly hidden in the sandwich. And while the complimentary banana peppers and oven-baked finish are nice, the window dressing ain’t enough to salvage this poorly constructed sandwich.
