I was overwhelmed by how much I enjoyed my sausage and cheesesteak sandwich. The way was seasoned perfectly and was complimented with the toppings. Fair warning it was very messy but was fun eating as well. It’s cash only and they have a drink machine in the back that has a good variety of bottled beverages.

Best sandwich ever. Get the steak and sausage. And the prices are on point. Cash only but there's an ATM on site spend the 12 bucks on this sandwich it's worth double the price!
