TDLR: 4-star solid IF you eat it there. Once wrapped, bread becomes destroyed.My origins are 2 hours from Philly, so I grew up eating the real deal before I tried them in other cities. Drac's entry, in my opinion, is solid IF you eat it before they wrap it.They go to the trouble of getting the right bread (Amoroso hoagie* rolls) but I think the freshness varies, and the minute it gets wrapped in foil, that beautiful bread starts to change and gets soggy and chewy due to the steam coming off the grill-hot contents.*Subs in the mid-Atlantic region and some of the northeast are often called hoagies instead of subs.In Philly, there are two acceptable cheeses (hotly debated by fans of each): and you order your steak "wit' provolone" or "wit wiz." (The latter is cheese whiz, which a foodie could dismiss, yet I would recommend trying both (I like both, and I usually avoid heavily processes foods anf wouldn't eat cheese whiz on anything else.)Traditionally, the other acceptable toppings (besides cheese) are; grilled bell peppers, onions or mushrooms. Putting lettuce, tomato, or god forbid mayonnaise and mustard on it...would be considered sacrilege. But if you like that, go ahead. Just know it's a steak sandwich not a Philly cheesesteak.
I can’t rate it higher because I couldn’t taste the food! We would go to their west side location sometimes and it was great. We tried the new location and couldn’t even find it let alone get in. There was no signage indicating where they were. The Mona building shown on their FB page was closed despite the hours being correct nor did it show a sign for Dracs either. ?♂️. Oh well

Wasn't expecting it to be in the back of the bar, but was surprised. This tiny little kitchen fed 30 people in 30 minutes effortlessly. OG Philly was delish and so were my garlic wings. Can't wait to go back!

Visited because of reviews and I love cheesesteaks. I expected something better than what I’m used from chain restaurants. It was not :(The hoagie roll was chewy. The steak had A LOT of fat in it, which i hate. I’m surprised, for the price I’d expect better quality meat. I did enjoy the fries ?It was a green chile cheesesteak, but green chile was hiding. I will say flavor was good too, maybe change the roll n cut out some fat. customer service was great from everyone in there.

This place has amazing food. The patty melt is my favorite thing to get, so fresh, so homemade. Ive been eating from here since the original location downtown during the pandemic and the quality has remained the exact same it just goes to show how much pride is taken in quality control. I saw a couple nasty reviews and my jaw dropped i really cant believe there is that much hate for a local business. "not enough wings, no fountain drinks" these things run out/go out of service!!! its not a major fast food chain that has a consistent amount of customers per day, this is a local business which means some days will be more booming than others! common sense, people! i would say stick to mc donalds -but even THEIR icecream machine breaks, how will mc donalds ever survive! lol. Dracs please keep being great, service is always quick, and you all never compromise the quality for a couple entitled neckbeards. BEST CHEESESTEAKS IN TEXAS!!!
Great lil spot!! Walked in and looked up at menu, they keep it simple! Went with most popular Philly. Decor is all about Dracula and vampires ! Cool lil local place!! Food was on point!! El Paso come out and support local!! Good stuff!! Best chili dog in El Paso!! Not lying! Two guys in back are pretty quick and helpful!

This place is a joke. We order drinks and there fountain drink machine is not working. So we are forced to order the bottle sodas witch are more expensive. And we ask for ice. And they don't have ice. We pay for our meals my daughter orders wings we sit down and then they come and tell us they don't have wings. Will not be back again.Had to add to my review.Do to dracs responding to my review. Dracs wrote nothing but excuses instead of talking responsibility. No one said anything about you guy's being a wing place if your place offers them you should carry them. But the way I see things it's a manager's responsibility to order enough. And if you want to blame Pepsi for not having fountain drinks! Again the manager should have told Pepsi I need the machine fixed or get it out and will get a company that can provide service. Now since you spoke on my behalf. Let's get something straight I never enjoyed my meal. Because I can tell you that your hotdogs are not good at all. I think the manager is lacking experience. And if you continue like this. I can guarantee ? dracs will not be there a long time. Next time don't try and make yourself look good by saying we are glad you enjoyed your meal.

Found this place by accident, but now I’m addicted. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. They explained the sandwiches and told me I could add to each one. The first time I can 8in original- OMG! Now I’m taking a foot long home to my husband. We’re having the original plus. Bell peppers and mushrooms. I added a basket of fries to my order- they’re seasoned to perfection!They also have a combo which is $15.14 including tax (8in, fries, and drink!).Must try their green chili steak sandwich next- green chili sauce homemade!!!!Eric and Jenny are the best ( they’re the owners)This was the Mesa location but they also have a downtown location.Dietary restrictions: Can do gluten free and fix .Kid-friendliness: Decor is Count Dracula , so kids are entertained by it. Background music makes it a lively place to be.Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp to get on sidewalk and restroom accessible. Plenty of room at table for chair. Plus the owner would help anyone out if needed.
Best place to get a Nashville chicken sandwich, cheesesteaks, burgers and more! Definitely my favorite place! Plus the staff is really awesome!

Best cheesesteak in EP and I'm from Philly! Interior could use more memorabilia or some license plates but we were here for the food. Prices are fair and portions were good.
