Having lived in NY and Philly, I really liked the concept of having a NY deli since there aren't that many alternatives in town aside from Main St Deli. And to do this well is admittedly difficult especially for those of us who would compare this to their NY favorites. But it is by this high standard that I judge Duke's Deli and they are quite far behind. Admittedly, I have only tried their Philly cheese steak but I suspect the other food might be similar.Here is what I thought of the cheese
Here is what I thought of the cheese steak. I think they tried as pretty hard on getting a good product but it falls short since they don't really know what they are doing. Ordered mine with onion and cheese and just the ordering was not a good start. Sauteed onion almost always go with the steak but green peppers? I have lived in Philly for many years and don't recall people ever serving a cheese steak with green peppers. With a fajita, yes, but cheese steak, never. They only serve one kind of cheese and I am used to at least having a choice of American, Provolone or cheese whiz. Starting with the bread, they did toast it and it has a nice crunch to it. This is nice though mine was a bit over-toasted. The beef is cooked to order in front of you which is what every cheese steak place does. The beef they have is quite nice and better than a lot of the crappy beef served in philly but what they got wrong was they didn't shred it to pieces as they cook it. Need to do that or else the sandwhich is impossible to eat with meat hanging left and right. They also put way too much onion in to the point of being an "onion" sandwhich. They put the cheese on the beef while the beef is being cooked which is a nice touch but they missed the most important part! They then try to put the beef onto the sandwhich! What happens when you do this is you would wind up mixing the beef and the cheese and I wind up with half a sandwhich with a lot of cheese and half with none. How is this a cheese steak? You need to stick the bread on top of the steak and then scoop the whole thing up! But oh well. Overall, it is a so-so cheese steak and until they have some major improvements, I probably won't give it another shot.
