This restaurant is old school, so old school that it still only accepts cash! Delicious cheesesteaks and hoagies can keep you happy as long as you have a little money on hand. Although the price is higher than its competitors, a large part of that is because their portion sizes are more extensive and their ingredients are high-end. Give them a try!
