American Cheesesteak Co.
7.5/10

The Philly with sauteed onions and provolone 6"
Le Bifteck 6"
ACC fries
Onion rings
Bottled root beer

Just beat the rush this evening. Deceptively small but generously filled with shaved beef. The beef itself is rather dry and the sauteed onions were hardly what I would call caramelized - more like steamed with barely any colour. The bifteck was good and was drizzled with balsamic vinegar - could hardly taste the dijon. Brie made it really heavy. Overall, both sandwiches were surprisingly filling and dense but the Philly is pretty bland. ACC fries were mediocre. They were not crisp and the addition of parmesan, parsley and garlic tasted completely absent. Onion rings were great and I really liked the sprinkling of coarse salt over the top, but a touch salty.

Although mostly self serve the staff seemed to go out of their way to clear tables. Nice.

Price seems ok $32 and change which is about the same for a couple of burgers.
