The first time, I was there to have a steak, their
specialty, a hand cut rib eye. Now when they
say hand cut, they mean “imperfectly” hand
cut…it usually fares on your side. Depending
on the cook, you’ve learned to order the medium rare, RARE! If Robbie’s cookin, you can
order it as you prefer it. From the first time I
walked through those doors, I felt that unwelcomely welcomed feeling. Every time I revisit,
I laugh inside on those that get scared off. Now,
how do you compliment a steak, is to have it
served up with grilled mushrooms and onions
on top and a side of fries? I add grilled jalapenos, a baked potato with cheese, bacon, sour
cream and lotsa butter. The topper is a perfectly grilled piece of buttery toast. Accompany to
that, a very fresh salad with all the right fixins.
Dinner is served!!!
I happen to be a fan of a Philly Cheese
Steak. I’ve travelled up and down
the Coastal Bend of Texas and have
found none that compare. Being
as I live in the Fulton area,
this place is a regular stop
to bring me the pleasure of the best Philly
Cheese Steak around!
Now I know there are
differences of opinion on what makes a
Philly Cheese Steak
a Philly Cheese
Steak. This is their
rendition… and
what makes me
love theirs. First
it’s the beef, lathered up in a butter mixture and
grilled to perfection. Topped
with their veggies of grilled onions and mushrooms;
along with green and
red peppers. Again, I
add the grilled jalapenos. Second, it’s the bun.
A hoagie roll, butter, and
grilled on the griddle to
a crispy snap. (I’m getting
hungry writing this!) Now the cheese, while
everything is piping hot, they add several
slices, throw the bun on top and by
the time it comes to the table, the
cheese has melted down through
the entire sandwich. I agree with
your thoughts, it can’t get better
than this, but it does! The side
of fries that come with this
surpass perfection. Capt. Ted
has a share in what
comes outta
the
kitchen. He tells um: "cook the fries when ya
start the sandwich, pull um when they’re almost done. As you’re prepping the sandwich,
drop the fries again so they’re served crisp and
hot”!!! Now that is one step past perfection!!!!
