Philly Cheesesteaks are one of our favorite things. We pretty much have to try one wherever we go…read more Most places around here have them on their menu, and sometimes it feels like a black hole when most places use the same stock frozen meat and whatever they feel like for the rest. We seek out places like this who hold them to a higher standard. (Usually the places that have "Cheesesteak" or "Philadelphia" in their names.) The litmus test is whether or not they offer whiz as an option. These were miles above the stuff you'd get from a non-Philly branded place in Syracuse, but on the lower end of the good tier. We would definitely ask for extra dressing/whiz on our next order, because they were disappointingly dry. It seemed like an oxymoron to order Whiz Wit and have it come out dry. With that said though, all the ingredients were amazing. The bread is light, pretty much a full on sub roll. The meat was tender and tasted legit. Nothing weird, stringy or clearly frozen. The Smokey Horseradish Dijon kind of got lost in the shuffle. Same meat as the philly, but the mild kick from the mustard didn't really match what a focus on cheese would have done. The chicken cordon bleu was solid. The minced chicken was actually pretty moist. We added cherry peppers, which took it to another level and I would now never go without. Minced chicken is hit or miss for me, but I rolled the dice for chicken cordon bleu and hit the jackpot. These guys aren't my favorite "authentic" Philly in Syracuse, but they hold down the north side just fine. I'd be happy to eat here any time, and the prices are pretty good as well.

Kyle Mastropietro, who also owns Kasai restaurant next door and will be opening a craft beer tap…read morehouse in the former Blue Tusk down the street, has now opened Danny's Steaks in Armory Square, a restaurant he says is what he came to CNY for: bring cheesesteaks created by a born-and-raised Philadelphia chef. This Philly boy cooked his first cheesesteak in Lee's Hoagie House when he was 12. When Charlee's Pizzeria next door to Kasai went out of business after just a few months, Kyle struck a deal with his landlord to take over that storefront. Before Charlee's, it had housed Provisions Bakery for 32 years. This place has been getting a ton of attention since it opened a couple days ago on all the local food groups and news, so I added it to my list figuring I'd check it out when the hype died down in a couple weeks. But today I was out early running errands and figured I'd try to call right when they opened and place a pick up order for a couple hours later, hoping I'd give them enough time notice that I could luck out without the long waits while I ran my errands. I called in right at 11, got through after a couple tries, and placed my order for 1. I got down there a little early, but they're on Walton St, so it gave me enough time to stalk the street a little bit and wait for a parking spot to open. This is a notoriously difficult street to usually find parking on, especially on a weekend, but I lucked out in grabbing a spot right in the tiny parking lot next to the building. I walked in at 1 and food was ready when I got to the counter. Good amount of people inside waiting, but I was able to go right to the counter. Woman at the counter was very friendly. Got home and the wife and I tore in. I got a pizza steak, while my wife just got a cheesesteak wit whiz and we both got a side of curly fries. The wife thought it was decent but wasn't as impressed as I was. I thought they were great, a little sloppy, but the meat was good quality, tasted great, sauce was great, and the homemade roll was great. Could've used a little more pepperoni though. I love me some curly fries, and theirs are great also, and the homemade cheese sauce was tasty. $33 for two cheesesteaks and two fries, so not too bad price wise. A sub and fries was more than enough for a meal, they do not skimp you on meat at all. Now, I won't say they blow every other place in CNY outta the water, as I feel Gino's Steak in Fayetteville is a VERY close second, but I'd definitely go back if in the mood for a cheesesteak again.

I remember years ago seeing that Kasai had philly cheesesteaks on their menu, but we tried a bunch…read moreof other things instead. When we went back for the cheesesteaks they were gone, and we thought we really missed out. Turns out they were just practicing for a new spot next door, so we got our chance after all. A weird number of restaurants around here claim to make the "real deal" philly cheesesteaks, and I have yet to find a real comparison. It's the same owner as Kasai, which I love and respect. I don't doubt his ability to make great and original food. So I'm genuinely stumped about Danny's, like are they taking creative liberties that make it a different experience, or do you just have to Be in Philly? We tried a bunch of cheesesteaks when we went to Philadelphia, stopping at even some of the lesser known spots. Everything we tried there was an entire level over anything we've had elsewhere. The concept doesn't seem that complicated, but even at home we haven't been able to emulate it 100%. Just finding a place around here that uses wiz will get my attention. I'm not sure why, but you won't typically find it unless the place is taking strides to be authentic. We went all out on our first order, spending over $60 for two of us. Wiz Wit, South Philly Hoagie, Diablo Wings, fries and onion rings. The philly passes all the initial checks. Compact, lightly toasted hoagie roll. Looks like an absolute mess you won't be able to eat without needing a shower. First bite, the bread is just a little crispy, the meat is super tender, only when the taste set in did I realize I wasn't home free. There's something off about the wiz. My girlfriend and I sat down and tried to place it but couldn't sort it out. It tastes the way my food starts to taste once I realize I didn't get it right and start panic-adding spices to try to fix it. The beef itself was tender, but subtle. I liked the south side hoagie a lot more. I love a pile of cured meat with provolone on a dry Italian style sandwich. The meat tasted amazing and the sandwich was as good as any Italian style deli I've been to around here. My girlfriend wasn't into it because the meat was very touch and stretchy. It was, but I didn't even notice because of the taste. They sell full wings, not cut into drumsticks and flats. We ordered diablo sauce, and to my surprise it was actually pretty spicy. The wings were good, but the price was steep. The idea of an authentic cheesesteak place is a huge deal to us, so we didn't want to just dismiss them after our first trip. We came back and got two more - one with wiz, one with American Cheese. The wiz was the same as the first time. I try to write it off as a style choice we simply don't agree with, but it's hard to envision it. When we tried the philly with American, it was much better. About as good as Gino's, or the old Taste of Philadelphia place, or any of the places that take a genuine shot at the real thing. I never tried their other menu items, including the smash burgers. I did order from their ghost kitchen Decir Algo, because I love me some Birria Tacos. As expected, it was a beautiful application for all that tender beef they're already sitting on. We didn't try the queso because we were afraid it would be the same as the wiz. Birria tacos are always amazing, the only feedback I could give is that they didn't come with cilantro or limes. This is a good place, and if I'm coming off harsh, it's all in response to the claims of authenticity. They are not philly good, but what are you gonna do, drive to Philadelphia for lunch? Give them a try and see for yourself. Definitely order in advance, especially during lunch time. The wait time can get pretty long here.

My oldest son wanted to take me there for lunch one last time, since it was a favorite place of his. We showed up a few minutes after they opened and it was already busy. But, since it was their last day, I figured they would have a lot of customers who wanted one last sandwich. We ordered two of my son's favorites: Steak cheese and onion and fries. Let me say that both were excellent. I would easily order these again. The decor was eclectic, the music was Grateful Dead type stuff, and the beer selection was pretty amazing. It is a shame that they are closing. And sadly, it had to do with the owner of the property not renewing the lease. Why does everything have to be about money?

My favorite dish was always gyros over rice with cut up pita and salad from the streetcarts. Fastforward to now. In Upstate NY it is hard to find Gyros or meat over rice as good as the city...until today. I took one bite and had flashbacks. The chicken is seasoned with a blend of the middle east and Mediterranean. The steak was coated with white sauce, garlic sauce, and hummus. And the salad was panopley of options. Even a little toasted pita to remind of the gyros. Very filling. I will get multiple meals out of this and I will be back to try more!

I placed the order again and this time my dinner came without the cheesecake.

I email them and they said I was Refunded for the first meal completely which I'm Still waiting for all these to process and that they're going to refund me for the second cheesecake. So I get hit with delivery fees and processing fees. I used to eat out here weekly but after this I'm sorry but I can't support someone who is going to mess my Order up twice I got hit with all these fees and there isn't anything they did to make the situation right and I've never had to email an HR department for a company I didn't work for. Also the second time I had to call the manager told me that I had to send an email about the missing desert and when I asked him to take care of it himself he couldn't comprehend the fact that I shouldn't have to contact them when they messed my order up twice it's disappointing that a place that I enjoyed eating at could care less that they made these mistakes.

Was in the mood for a Chopped Cheese and in rare form I got it with almost all the veggies (im veggie picky). Tomato, lettuce, seasoned ground beef. Cheese, mayo and maybe some kind of sauce on a 12 inch sub roll. Blended great. Portions size was good and filling. Cost was a little high and didnt match menu price ( was about $2 more than advertised, $2 isnt breaking me just prefer to pay whats advertised.). Loved the taste and would definetly try something else there.

It even felt I got my monies worth. Unwrapping the sandwich revealed the special roll that is advertised LOADED with steak, onions and cheese. There were also black grill scrapings. It was unfortunate. I would have given this sandwich a solid five of it weren't for the scrapings and accompanying burnt taste.
