Prior to our trip to GB I scoured Yelp in search of a few places to eat and came across this establishment. I saved it for future consideration. My adult son, out of the four of us visiting, was pretty much left in charge of the itinerary. I mentioned this place and its overall excellent rating, as we flew across the country.
On day 2 he tossed Cheesesteak Rebellion out as a place for lunch and the entire crew agreed to try it out. Each one of us was so glad that we did! From the moment we walked in the customer service was EXCELLENT. They made us out-of-towners (which may have been obvious to the locals) feel welcomed.
We all ordered sandwiches and a few sides to share. I ordered the Rebel Whiz, which was a traditional cheese steak sandwich with cheese whiz (as I had NEVER had a steak sandwich with the whiz). That sandwich was DELICIOUS! It had plenty of warm tender well-seasoned medium rare (me thinks) meat and was difficult to handle due to its size, on a soft lightly toasted hoagie bun (see attached photo as proof). The onion rings were perfect; and I can be an onion ring snob. They were perfectly fried crisp, seasoned lightly and not oily whatsoever. The fried garlic curds (we had never tried curds before, but had to being in Wisconsin for the first time) were also delicious and addicting. We all agreed the food was fantastic and hoped to come back once more before leaving town.
Although it was a filling lunch we did return, for a late dinner that same day! LMAO... This time I ordered The Jim (ribeye meat, ribeye patty, brat patty, mushrooms, onions and pepper-jack)! What a beast of a sandwich, and it was one of the most tasty gathering of flavors I have ever experienced in a meat sandwich! Look at the attached photo(s) and see for yourself. It tasted better than my photo(s) make it out to be.
On our fourth day visiting we AGAIN returned, we liked the food so much! I enjoyed The Jim so much I reverted back to my creature of habit ways and ordered it again, knowing I would probably never have the opportunity to experience/taste it in the future. It, again, was so so so so tasty - BURP!
The prices, at least compared to the inflated, overpriced, charges in California were a blessing unto themselves. The staff had no concerns splitting our bills four ways on each of our visits, by the way. We were tempted to return a fourth time, but opted to try another restaurant on our last evening there. What a mistake that was.
If you are a local, visitor or wandering vagabond (with cash to buy a good meal) I/we highly recommend you give this place a try. None of us think you will be disappointed. And yes, the place is geeked out with Star Wars paraphernalia, for that extra touch, for those that have an affinity for the series. Oh yeah, the drinks and beer are pretty good too and I bought myself a beanie to commemorate the good times. FIVE stars for sure, for sure!
