So-so cheesesteaks at average prices. We ate here only because we'd forgotten that Minnie's is closed on Mondays (grr), and weren't too happy with the results. Too bad, as the beef is PC Niman Ranch, but that alone does not a great cheesesteak make.

My sandwich was dry and the beef was ground, not chopped like it should be. The cheese was appropriately canned-tasting, but the bread wasn't great, and the fries were sodden. If you're craving a cheesesteak in this area, go 15 blocks north to Cheese Steak Shop instead. I've read of some folks who like their burgers and such, but I'm not in any hurry to return to find out.
