by Malcom Lagazo on This past weekend on my first trip to Philly, bf and i decided our trip would not be complete w/o trying out a Philly cheesesteak. nevermind that i try to eat a vegetarian diet, our local friends set out to help us accomplish the goal. our friend remarked that this wasn't his favorite cheesesteak place either (he prefers tony luke's), but that this place was good as well. we arrived about noon on a weekend and the line was wrapping around the shop, so we figured, hey - it must be good! the line was long, but it moved very quickly. within 10 minutes we were up to the counter. we're the kind of people who usually don't carry any cash, and just use debit/credit cards. this place is the kind of place that doesn't accept said debit/credit, only cash. usually there is some sort of sign to point this out, but here i saw none. luckily, it wasn't a problem this time. bf ordered the whiz wit, and i got the prov wit at the first window, and sodas and cheese fries at the second window. this place is kinda pricey when you consider that it's fast food. $25 later we dug into our food while standing across the street (it's outdoor seating on a few picnic tables only). the prov wit gets my "A-OK" vote, but i can understand why others wouldn't like it. the meat was sorta dry, there wasn't much cheese and there was a lot of bread to the cheesesteak -- however, when i eat meat, i prefer it this way. the cheese fries were flavorless and extremely salty. i'm glad i tried out a philly institution, but prolly won't be back.
by Booker Pickings on Gorgeous decor, gracious hostesses/management and delicious food. I loved being here! Service was a bit slow to start out, but understandable being it was their first Friday open. I did not mind so much at first because I was soaking in the ambiance and enjoying the $1 happy hour oysters and pear rosemary cocktail. But we started getting really hungry! We had been seated in the bar area despite having had a reservation, and no one came to take our order for at least 20 minutes. However, they apologized and redeemed themselves by sending us a complimentary ahi poke appetizer, which I would definitely order again next time I go, and quick, friendly service following that. Good form. I had the Masami kobe beef sirloin with portobello, which was perfect with the blue cheese whipped potatoes. My companion's salmon was also delicious, texture and flavor-wise. Overall, exceptional food and atmosphere for very, very reasonable prices. A new favorite spot!
