I recently stopped by Charleys Cheesesteaks in the Orange Park Mall food court and had their limited-time Kimchi Cheesesteak, along with the loaded fries and lemonade. It was a pretty enjoyable visit overall.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, and I enjoyed watching them make all my food to order. The Kimchi Cheesesteak looked great and was freshly prepared, but the gochujang sauce was much sweeter than I expected--both my foodie friend and I thought it tasted a bit like Manwich sloppy joe sauce. It overpowered the sandwich a bit, but I still appreciated the fresh ingredients.
The loaded fries were awesome--crispy fries topped with cheese, bacon, and ranch. They were indulgent and a perfect side to pair with the sandwich.
As for the lemonade, it was refreshing and hit the spot. I'm not a fan of their flavored lemonades, as they seem to just add syrup or jam, but the classic lemonade was great.
Since this is inside the food court, there's the gentle roar of shoppers and other diners in the area, but it didn't take away from the experience. The mall staff keeps the food court pretty clean, which is always a plus. read more
