I prefer to go Gator's Dockside for their wings. Weekdays unadvertised lunch special, six wings and fries $7.99 or 10 wings, fries, Blue Cheese plus drink for $10.99, add celery for 75 cents. Once I find a great steak sub, I don't go anywhere else. I've learned all the best places for everything I would want.
When I lived in Boston I got my steak and cheese sub from the sub shop downstairs (I lived in an apartment in a 3-floor walk-up next door to the fire department in Brighton). They ALWAYS made it with provolone, mushrooms and onions, lettuce, mayo, and tomato. It's just how it came, though you could always ask for it to be different if you wanted to.

Then when I moved back home to Connecticut we had D'Angelo's, and that was how they made THEIR steak and cheese subs - except their default was american cheese.

When I lived in Canada, there was a little sandwich shop in Sorrell I visited several times. Their steak-bombs always had lettuce, tomato, and mayo.

New York subs - lettuce, tomato, mayo.

Philly cheese-steak "hoagie" (which is another word for sub roll) - lettuce, mayo, tomato.

The original Philly cheese-steak is only attractive to people who want ONLY steak, cheese, and grilled onions dumped on a roll. For the rest of civilization, we get to include some vegetables with our meat.

YMMV


But yes I USUALLY go to Gator's for their boneless wings. I only order 6 but they always give me an extra or two. With blue cheese dressing, naturally. And the Gator's Own hot sauce of course. Not as good as Archie Moore's in Connecticut (you can buy their wing sauce in the supermarket up there now), but still tasty.
