      I'll start off by saying my time in Philly gave me high standards for cheesesteaks. Was this tasty? Yes. Authentic? Close, but no cigar. I really appreciate that they get Amoroso rolls from Philly, but something is lost in transit. It seems like the bread softens and loses its crispy exterior. The meat was moist and greasy, like it should be, but had a flavor I did not expect. It was almost like a tinge of teriyaki flavor in the meat. There was ample whiz and onions, but I'd appreciate a bit more meat in the sandwich. Finally, there's no reason it needs to cost $9. The ingredients in a cheesesteak are cheap by nature. It should consist of the cheapest cut of beef, whiz from an industrial can, and bread.

          I agree with cost. Also the rolls are getting progressively smaller which leads me to believe they make em specifically for this truck. After a $9 cheesesteak I should not be hungry yet I was starving.

          Marco, I know... I'm waiting for my stomach to actually tell me I'm full and it's not coming. BTW, I think $5 for a half and $8 for a full seems like better pricing with NYC price inflation taken into account.

          Have you tried 99 miles to Philly? I think it might be one of the best in town, I like it better than Carl's.

          I've been really reluctant to try cheesesteaks outside of Philly except at specifically recommended places, so I've not tried 99 Miles To Philly yet. I'll have to give it a try.

          I ate at 99 before I food spotted. Bread jut wasn't right tastes more like a French dip with cheese. 3 little piggies has a few sandwiches that are meat and cheese and they're pretty good but can't beat Philly for that

          I think the sandwiches at 3 Little Piggies are delicious, but they are in no way cheese steaks.

          looks pretty tasty, how did it stack up to Philly?
        • 1 year ago

          Kate, not my favorite type of steak but definitely one of the better I've had in NYC. Wogies is still my favorite in the city.

          I need to try theirs and see how it stacks up. Best I've found so far is Philly's on Houston. Better than Woagies in my opinion.
