Rumors on social media always stated that for a "true" classic Philly Cheesesteak in the Greater Cleveland area, you needed to head to
The Original Steaks & Hoagies in Twinsburg. Curious for myself, that's how it eventually made its way onto my To Dine Challenge list. Well, I'm happy to finally report that we made it there to try it for ourselves.
Located in a strip mall, there's plenty of parking and this casual shop offers a variety of hot and cold subs, salads, a couple of other items, and...a Philly Style Cheesesteak. Just place your order at the counter, deciding which type of the three cheeses you want, and what toppings (
onions, mushrooms, and two kinds of peppers). There are "extras" available for 50 cents, like tomato, lettuce, etc.
The shop is small, but there is seating available for those that want to dine in. For 2PM on a Saturday, the place was hoppin'!
Mr. H and I shared an order of the
Beer Battered Fries (add Old Bay seasoning for 50 cents).
I just haven't seen fries like that before, so it was worth trying. They were nice and crispy, and not overly battered. The Old Bay seasoning was a fun addition.
I was there for the
Philly Cheesesteak (
two sizes available), with cheese whiz, mushrooms, and onions.
Other than wishing the cheese whiz was a little more present, this was a darn good cheesesteak and probably the closest to a "real" classic version that I've had locally.
Only two more restaurants to go on the 2017 To Dine Challenge list! Do you think I can do it by December 31st?

You had me at Old Bay fries!
What's left on your list? With a whole month to hit two spots, I'm sure you can do it. :)
Just North End Wine Bar and Proper Pig! But with two trips this month, it’ll be tough to get them in. Fingers crossed!
