"Roughly 95% of the time we find ourselves with a craving for a well-made cheesesteak, we’re heading to the trailer R&B’s in East Austin. R&B’s focuses on one type of sandwich, and one type of sandwich only. Sure, you can fancy up the cheesesteak with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles (and call it a hoagie), but you should probably just let the steak, cheese, and bread do their thing, uninterrupted. Either way, it’ll be packed full of thinly-sliced Texas ribeye on an Amoroso roll with your choice of Cheez Whiz, provolone, or white american cheese—we’re on Team Whiz, by the way." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, raphael brion
"East Austin’s R&B’s cranks out cheesesteaks loaded with thin-sliced ribeye and your choice of Cheez Whiz, Provolone, or American cheese (go with Whiz). Each sandwich arrives hot on an Amoroso roll with plenty of melty goodness inside. Outdoor seating provides a space to dive right in. It is just as yummy when you order online." - Darcie Duttweiler
"R&B’s focuses on one type of sandwich, and one sandwich only—the cheesesteak—in classic or in hoagie form (with onions, tomatoes, and lettuce). Both feature thinly sliced Texas ribeye on an Amoroso roll with your choice of Cheez Whiz, provolone, or white american cheese (we’re Team Whiz, by the way). They also sell loaded fries—the perfect opportunity to forgo all social graces and find yourselves knuckles-deep in a mountain of crinkle-cut potatoes, cheese, steak, and onions." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, raphael brion
"Whenever we find ourselves with a hankering for a well-made cheesesteak, we beeline to R&B’s in East Austin. It follows all the “rules” that the Philly joints adhere to. Sure, you can fancy up your sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles—and call it a hoagie—but you should probably let the steak, cheese, and bread do their thing, uninterrupted. Either way, it’ll be packed with thinly sliced Texas ribeye on an Amoroso roll with your choice of Cheez Whiz, provolone, or white american cheese (we’re Team Whiz, by the way)." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"At R&B’s, you can get a delicious cheesesteak made with Texas ribeye on a fresh Amoroso's roll with grilled onions and cheese whiz. Or, you can get all of that over a giant bed of crinkle-cut fries. Because sometimes you just want to get your hands a little messy. Either that or you want to share, to which we say: just order more. It’s worth it. You can also add on mushrooms, bell peppers, and jalapeños if you want to balance out your meal a little bit. At that point it’s basically a salad, right?" - nicolai mccrary
