A Thursday afternoon visit revealed a bustling scene, with groups of friends and colleagues converging for a hearty lunch. The atmosphere was lively, mirroring the vivacity of Fitzroy itself.

Opting for the tried-and-true, I went for the Regular Cheesesteak at $15. It arrived loaded with a tantalizing mix of American cheese, tender beef, and a generous helping of sautéed onions. A drizzle of self-applied chili sauce added an extra kick. It was a flavour-packed delight, each bite a testament to the authenticity of this Philly classic. Satisfying doesn’t even begin to cover it.
