Note: I have not physically visited this restaurant. I ordered delivery and so my review is about this experience.
It is not often that I "reward" myself by eating a day's calories in one meal. Well, I have no regrets whatsoever in making this choice for my lunch from Frank From Philly & Andrea Pizza.
I got the regular fries and the Cheese Steak Supreme. First, I ate ALL THE FRIES. This is not something that I do, except when I eat the fries from Culver's. Most of the time, fries are blase, at best. Or, when they're part of a delivery order, they're cold and soggy. NOT THESE FRIES! They were wrapped appropriately so that they were hot and tasty when they arrived. They were perfectly salty and tasted so potatoey. I, at first, cursed myself for not asking for ketchup. The fries needed no such accouterments.
I HAD to get the cheese steak because a friend of mine has been food-harassing me on Facebook with pictures of these sandwiches.Well, I'm no Permit Patty or or Lemonade Lenora, so no authorities were called. Only my jealousy increasing at an exponential rate was the only hazard.
Well, having lived close to Philly and having eaten more cheese steaks than I'll ever admit to without extreme inducements, I know good cheese steak when I eat one. And, this cheese steak took me back to Philly, big time. Everything about it made me reminisce about drives from the Jersey Shore into town for these wonderful delights.
The bread is soft, yet not so soft that the sandwich falls apart. The meat is perfectly cooked and his the right amount of chew. The cheese melts perfectly into the mushrooms, onions, and peppers. There was only one problem with the sandwich: I'd ordered it with provolone AND cheez wiz. I got only the Wiz. While this didn't detract from the taste of the sandwich, I was a little disappointed. Provolone, American, and Wiz are the only acceptable cheeses for a cheese steak. Having this sandwich is the ONLY time American and Wiz are even in my vocabulary, so take it seriously.
When I'm not feeling lazy or my knees will allow me to take an extra walk on campus, I'll be visiting this shop in person. In the meantime, they're at the top of my list for delivery options. Get this food, any way you can. You won't regret it.
I think that the Universe knew that I'd be eating here because I just joined a gym yesterday.
