In spite of our crazy schedule today, Elisa and I trooped to Rockwell just to eat at Elbert's Cheesesteak Sandwiches. We had to redeem our miserable lunch the other day at Charlie's Grind and Grill. We wanted to compare Elbert's cheesesteak against Charlie's.

I loved it that you can watch your sandwich being cooked. We were so happy so to see so much meat!
The steak was assaulted with way too much pepper for my taste. Next time I'll tell the cook to go easy on the pepper.
Thinly sliced steak with salt and pepper cooked on a grill. With good quality beef you don't need anything else. What could be simpler and yummier than that? I can't wait for their burgers. I hope it gets the same simple treatment.
Mine is the one with American cheese. Next time I'll order it plain. The beef was so good it didn't need cheese at all.
I've read on several blogs that the main complaint about Elbert's is the price. Their 5" hoagie is filled with 300 grams of beef and costs

Still not the best fries for me but it's not bad at all. It was hot, freshly cooked, not greasy and crisp.
As you can tell by this picture I was too excited to try the sandwich. I could barely take a decent picture. This was the last picture I took until we were done.
We loved the sandwiches. We were able to hold the sandwich and eat it. Unlike Charlie's where it was swimming in cheese sauce you needed a fork and knife to eat it. The steak was perfectly cooked and was very juicy. This IS a steak sandwich!
