Shorty's is a bar that serves some decent beers on tap and is famous for two Philly sandwiches, their cheese steak and roast pork with broccoli rabe and provolone. I ordered the cheese steak and it stood toe to toe with Philly's best.
Shorty's version of the sandwich is served on a crisp, crusty bread that is soft in the middle. There is a good amount of juicy beef slathered with a ton of Cheez Whiz. You can also get it with other type of cheeses, but ya gotta get it with Whiz!
Take a closer look and see all the beefy and cheesy goodness just oozing out!
I had an online deal when I went ($6 for a sandwich and a pint). The same combo is I believe regularly $12, but well worth the price if you're craving a great cheese steak outside of Philly.

I wasn't a fan of Geno's and hadn't had a chance to try Pat's, so after looking at your picture I guess I won't be trying it anytime soon! I actually prefer Tony Lukes or Jim's in Philly...
ReplyDeleteYour photo makes me want to go to Tony Luke's tomorrow. About a 40 minute drive.
ReplyDeleteI've had Jim's steaks a few times and enjoyed them. I actually mentioned Jim's in a post last July. Now, the cheesesteak pictured on the table at Betsy Ross' house looked good.
