First impressions of the hole in the wall?
The first few times I had their food it was from delivery, so it took a while before I physically went there. For some reason I thought it was going to be a grimey spot, but I was wrong. It was actually pretty plain. Kitchen/grill, register, and a few tables. I mean it wasn't spotless, but what would you expect from a spot that sells cheesesteaks only?
Was this hole in the wall a good find?
I think it was. Unfortunately, I have never had an original cheesesteak from Philly, so I can't compare it to the real thing, but it's definitely good enough for me. Thin grilled steak (that they are not cheap with), with grilled onions, variety of cheeses, and a soft bun. There are also, all type of toppings you can put on your cheesesteak to jazz it up, and if I'm not mistaken there is even a chicken cheesesteak for all you folks that stay away from the red meat.
Service?
Service was cool. I will say that there was this one dude that worked there that had some pretty interesting contacts on. Can't lie...I was a little scared to give him my order, but the hunger quickly removed that feeling.
Anything you forgot to mention?
As I'm sure you can imagine...the cheesesteaks are EXTREMELY greasy! Like the paper it's wrapped in is soaked, if you get it to go the grease usually seeps into the bag, the bread can be a little soggy because of it (not a problem to me), and if you think you are going to eat that thing without something covering your clothes you are definitely asking for grease stains.
Recommendations?
If you are not a health buff and calorie counter, try it. Keep in mind that after consuming a cheesesteak there is a serious decrease in energy and work productivity. Other then that...GO FOR IT!
