PhastBreak CheeseSteak is located in the brand new Block 40 Food Hall in Downtown Hollywood. They literally just had their grand opening on Friday, June 7. We stopped by on Saturday around 4pm. The place wasn't very busy, probably because they were still new and people probably didn't know about it yet.
A cheesesteak sounded good when we were trying to decide which foods we wanted to share with our group. We were really excited about this one but unfortunately were disappointed.
You have to look really hard to find PhastBreak Cheesesteak, as they don't have official signage in front of their booth. When I first found them, I wasn't even sure what they were serving until I saw their menu on the TV. We actually ordered this cheesesteak from our table with the QR code. Convenient, but also there was no notes section for any modifications. So we placed the order and I went to talk to them about putting the mushrooms on the side since my party doesn't like mushrooms.
I also mentioned we ordered fries, and the guy looked at me and said they didn't have fries. The lady working with him confirmed they do have fries and he has to go in the back area to get the fries. When I had asked for the mushrooms on the side, same guy asked if I wanted it cooked and I said yes please. I thought that was an odd question to ask.
Honestly, it looked like they were still trying to get everything together. I kept reassuring them no rush on our order as we had other food coming and were very patient. They delivered the cheesesteak to our table, which is really cool. But when the sandwich arrived, it looked underwhelming.
Ordered the supreme cheesesteak with mushrooms on the side. Mushrooms were definitely canned mushrooms, yuck. Didn't taste any onions, they diced the onions and minimal. Green pepper, only saw a few pieces as well. The cheesesteak needed more cheese. Meat was lacking too considering the price point of $18. Our side of fries was weak. At a whopping $24 with tip for cheesesteak and fries, not worth it.
I understand they are still new and trying to figure things out. I honestly hope they do well in this new food hall. It was just a miss for us. Too pricey for what you get. read more
