The Cheese Steak Shop Turns Five...

Five years on, The Cheese Steak Shop remains a favorite. And here's why...

One of the early pioneers in the local food truck scene, The Cheese Steak Shop offers authentic Philly-style Cheese Steaks and Hoagies using the finest ingredients to recreate the classic flavors of one of America's iconic sandwiches. And five years on, The Cheese Steak Shop is still top-of-mind when it comes to Philly Cheese Steaks.   

Established in California back in 1982, The Cheese Steak Shop takes the classic Philly Cheese Steak to the world with the opening of the first branch in the metro five years ago. The secret to its enduring popularity is simple. From the authentic Amoroso roll to the succulent top round and ribeye steak and the provolone cheese, you don't have to travel far to enjoy the comforting flavors of an authentic Philly-style cheese steak (for more on The Cheese Steak Shop, see my first post from four years back here at The Cheese Steak Shop Introduces New Dishes...And A Cool Discount.).

Start with the signature Cheese Fries (P 99 Regular/P 135 Large) with crisp potatoes draped in creamy cheese...

...and pair it with the Classic Philly Cheese Steak (P 280-7 inch/P 399-10 inch/P 720-15 inch) with fork-tender sliced or chopped beef topped with onions, sweet and hot peppers, and Provolone cheese on a soft Amoroso roll. Wash it all down with an ice-cold bottle of IBC Root Beer with its trademark twist cap, and it just doesn't get better than that. You can also opt for the Chicken variant (P 180-7 inch/P 250-10 inch) if you prefer something light.

The Cheese Steak Shop also offers the classic Hoagie (P 300-7 inch/P 485-10 inch/P 750-15 inch) with succulent beef laid on crisp garden-fresh lettuce and topped with tomatoes and drizzled with mayo, with the fresh veggies adding layers of clean notes to the savory sandwich.

Why not enjoy your meal with a refreshing salad? The Cheese Steak Shop offers four tasty options to choose from, including the Philly Salad (P 425), Italian Salad (P 635), Garden Salad (P 250), or the Side Salad (P 150).

For me, it's always been the King of Philly (P 699), the signature 10" classic cheese steak with 50% more beef and cheese.

It's the complete package, with everything you love about the Philly-style cheese steak with simply more of the good stuff on the ten inch crisp on the outside and soft inside Amoroso roll. The savory richness of the tender beef is tempered by the sharp notes of the hot peppers, perfectly capped by the sweet hints of the onions and distinct flavor of the provolone cheese. Authentic flavors using the finest ingredients. And you can find it here at The Cheese Steak Shop.  

And if you're still craving for cheese, the Liberty Grilled Cheese Sandwich (P 195) should do the trick...

...or maybe the Cheese Steak Rice (P 190) topped with a sunny side-up, a full and satisfying meal in itself. Five years on, The Cheese Steak Shop is still the place for the classic Philly-style cheese steak and more.
