Philly Connection

If you’ve never lived in Philly, DE, or Jersey, this place will suffice if you want a cheesesteak. If you have lived in the land of subs, don’t get your hopes up too much like I did. Its alright, but its not authentic. The bread, although fresh, was not crispy. It just wasn’t right. The meat was OK, but I felt like it was a small portion for what I paid.
The place is small, and could have used a good wipe down. All the ketchup bottles were sticky and close to empty.

The first time I ate here was back in 2004 shortly before I joined the Navy. This was my first taste of an authentic Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich. I’ve recently ate here about a month or so ago and it is still the good cheesesteak place that I remember. Here are some key things about the core Philly Cheesesteak sandwich:
–Must be on an Amoroso roll. This is an important element of the sandwich. If it’s not Amoroso, then it is not authentic.
–The meat-​to-​bread ratio should be two-​to-​one and consistent throughout the sandwich.
–The steak must be thinly-​sliced ribeye.
–Onion are almost always included.
–The cheese is usually provolone or Cheez Whiz.
All of the ingredients should be blended well without the taste of one flavor dominating over the others. These guys here really do a good job. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion. The sandwich is delicious with the consistent meat-​to-​bread ratio and finely blended taste of the ingredients.
Parking is a tad bit tight here, so be careful.

Awesome food but too expensive for what it is.
