Thanks Trey, maybe I won’t write the chain off completely…

While this is a pretty accurate review, I think you would have had a much better experience had you ordered the Great Steak sandwich. The provolone goes a lot better. A Supersteak is also better, or even the Chicagoland with both this nacho cheese and provolone are all better than the original Philly cheesesteak. I’ve also found that quality varies a lot between individual locations. The one at my local mall delivers consistently good sandwiches. On the other hand, I’ve tried other locations and they tend to be rather hit and miss. But if I were you I’d conisder giving the Great Steak and Potato company another chance.

Hey Dave, I’m definitely with you on cheesesteak needing to be whiz or provolone, but this was more nacho cheese than whiz, and I definitely think there is a difference. It looked a whole lot better than it tasted…

A traditional “Philly cheesesteak sandwich” is served with Cheez Whiz or provolone, and with or without onions. The sandwich that most people in the midwest and west coast know as a cheesesteak is a mutation. It can have everything from mushrooms to swiss cheese on it. DefinItely not saying the above sandwich is a good one, but if you look at the requirements of a “real” cheesesteak… this is exactly what it should look like. Below is some cheesesteak info, as well as info on the creator of the cheesesteak and his restaurant.
