I have had the meatball sub several times and really enjoyed it. Haven't had the Philly myself, but have to say, in fairness, that the OP didn't seem to say anything rude or inappropriate. I believe he is not out of line posting a review on food as he sees it.


Thanks, yes I wasnt bashing it (and if I really didnt like it - like the food at Besos for instance - I would let people know). I thought it was ok but not worthy of a reorder. The meat was tender and tasty (like the girls), I just wish there was more of it. I am glad Boyd addressed that and I will try it again and report back.

I had my hopes up high due to all the glowing reviews and just felt a little let down. If I didnt read all these reviews I would never have posted as it is certainly more than passable food for the type of establishment that it is.

Did not take it as bashing at all. We are trying to be very consistent and I appreciate the feedback.

I had the Cheesesteak in February and it was excellent. It was a bit too big for me, I took some of the meat out. Then again, I'm trying to stay off Boyd's Weight Loss Challenge thread this year, so I try to eat smaller portions. :lol:

I apologize if my comments were taken offensively. Boyd and Greg have done an excellent job of making my stay here as pleasant as possible and I am sorry but I take offense to anything negative towards them. They will go and extra 10 mile to make sure everybody is satisfied with any product or service they provide. Come on if you bag a girl before 11:00 am your breakfast is free. Even though I have done it I can't ask for them to feed me for free. The worst girl I have bagged here I plan to do again. Sorry but I am in Boyd's corner and when we are both there together it would take a pretty big machine to phuck with that, lol.

Wanna talk about Philly cheese steaks? Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheesesteak
For the record, if it ain't made with CheezWhiz, it just ain't. << Snobbery rears its ugly head.

There will always be divided opinion on the subject of cheese-whiz vs sliced cheese and neither side will give an inch.

I personally am a provolone backer. Use to eat "Philly cheese steaks" at Big Al's pizza on Oregon avenue many years ago when I lived in the area. Sadly I heard last week that Big Al passed away a short time ago. He was 90.
