Wink Cheesesteaks.

Wea are from yje Philly area and we have recently found a place called CHI's in the saqme shopping center as Publix in spanish springs area. It will satisfy all your cheese steak craveings. We eat there at least twice a week. It's not pat's pr Gino's but close.

Try the new menu Cheese Syeak @ Beef O'Bradys. It is small but it is on an Amorosa bun.
For a sub I prefer Sweet Bay. larger and lower in price than Publix.{ $5.95}

Sally,

I agree with Loreen. Of course, the cheesesteaks aren't as good as Capriotti's.

Jersey Mikes is gone. I did love his "big kahuna"
Sweat Creams is now CHI'S GRILL
They have a version of a PHilly that is 'pretty good'. The nice thing is he's very customer oriented and will make it like you want it as for onions, mushrooms peppers if you want. Hand cut ho-made fries if you like that sort of thing and I think he has "whiz".

Funny story . . .I told a couple girls from Scotland about whiz and they couldn't believe it.

I thought the Cane Garden Philly cheese-steak was pretty good, but I'm not from Philly. They serve it open-faced, and you have to fold it into a sandwich. Messy.

We were not excited about Chi's.

Gator's Dockside makes a pretty good Philly Cheese Steak.

Zcaveman, What didn't you like about it? The guy that makes them says he doesn't make "philly cheese steaks"

I was looking through my subscriptions and noticed this post. Don't l know how I missed it before.

I checked with the deciding vote in restaurants (my wife) and was reminded that indeed Chi's does not make Philly cheese steaks. Somewhere we were under the impression that they did. We purposefully went to Chi's for the Philly cheese steak. We checked the menu and the store itself and decided that it was not for us.

Also, there was no one eating any sandwiches when we were there and there were several people there. So we left.

So I guess when I said Chi's was not to my liking, it was the place and the menu. It was nothing to do with the food. I should have been more definitive in my post.

In after thought, I should have not said anything about Chi's.

Sorry for misleading anyone.

Hi Z!

The owner once told me that he doesnt make Philly's because he is not from Philly and does not want to insult anyone from that area. I myself am a Nyer that has never had a "philly cheese steak" but I do think these are great!

I also think people dont know they are there & still think they are sweet creams

Their could never be a cheesesteak or hoagie for that matter, better than Capriotti's (Wilmington, Delaware). Will go try Chi's, but actually found a decent one by accident last night: of all places: Taki's (Greek/Italian) in shopping center next to Lowes on 27/441. Will go back again for their cheesesteak.

Went to Chi's yesterday... It was awesome. We both had the Cheese Steak subs and hand cut fries. Just like back home (MA). Personally I do not like Philly Cheese steak subs, but I loved these. We definitely will go back.
