First off - the Classic Philly Cheesesteak was pretty impressive. I don't put any sauces on it and it was superb. My only grind is the price - $15 is kind of a stretch for what I just ate. Don't get me wrong, it was very good, but it's probably more of a $10-12 cheesesteak. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed my meal, but this cost prevents me from returning on a frequent basis.
Next, I opted for the cheese fries. Again, they tasted good, but not as good as the Cheesesteak, so $7 is a pretty aggressive price tag. I should've opted for the "Regular fries" @ $3.50.
Overall - Bulldog's Cheesesteaks is a solid 3 1/2 - 4 stars; however, I would've considered this a solid 5-Star meal if the pricing was more appropriate.
Three other quick things - Two Pro's and One Con:
PRO #1 - the guy who was working the grill is CLEARLY good at what he does and I can tell that he takes pride in his ability to cook a good cheesesteak. So, Kudos to him.
PRO #2 - I like the decor. It is a good mix of "classic" Sports memorabilia and Spider-Man memorabilia.
CON - when you pay for your meal with a credit card, the three gratuity options are very inflated. The options were: 18%, 20% and 25%. I have a significant problem with any "counter order" eatery "expecting" an 18% gratuity. I mean, 18% is actually an exceptional tip for a "counter order" establishment. The gratuity options should probably be: 12%, 15% and 18%. These high gratuity options demonstrate a sense of entitlement. However, since I was the only person in Bulldog's when my cheesesteak was ready, the chef personally walked my meal out to me at my table - so I'll give props for that. However, if this place had been really busy, I would have to think that my name would've been called, and I'd go pickup my meal. If I'm correct, that definitely DOES NOT constitute more than a 12-15% tip.
