$21 for a 10-inch sandwich with no side included; the meat was not seasoned, the roll was gummy, and the whole thing was dry overall. We try to support local, but this place is off the list!
This is my second time and as always the best in the south for a real Philly steak. Went to watch the game and it was amazing good food and good people. Joy and her staff are amazing. The only thing is I like my onions & peppers hopped up in my steak and they wasn’t but it don’t take away from the goodness of the food. I will drive a hour and again for this delicious steak.
I didn’t know happiness came in sandwich form until I tried The Philly Special—with mushrooms, of course. The steak is juicy, the mushrooms are perfectly cooked, and the whole thing is a glorious mess of flavor I’d happily ruin a shirt for. Hands down the best cheesesteak in Land O’ Lakes—maybe even Florida.
