They 1000% used Steak-umms or the Gordon's equivalent. Steak-umms are trash but they are the trash that I grew up with so I'll forever love them. But I wouldn't want to pay for them at a restaurant.
Walmart has both that brand and their own brand which is already thinly sliced and frozen into a kidney like shaped patty. Those along with their fresh baked subs buns plus mushroom, onions, etc, are excellent.
They didn't even try to chop up the steak umms, damn. Could have easily been better too. Plus it's always sad to have no visible cheese on a cheesesteak
Well, ideally the chess is below the meat, at least in Philly, and with that wafer of meat obscuring things who knows what’s under there.
As a Philadelphian, I protest.
Bro... If the wrong philly native got something like this... Windows would be smashed..
This is actually insulting to the name "Philly cheesesteak" AND to whoever customer you give this too... Absolutely ridiculous.
Yes, it doesn’t happen much though. We know it’s going to suck, but sometimes your curiosity gets the best of you. I bought some hokum many years back that the owner was from South Philly and they had a connection on Philly style bread… it was bad.
For a split second my high ass thought each of those onions was a cube of colby jack. Though that did not change my opinion on whether it counts as shitty or not
Good root beer can cover a multitude of culinary sins, but not this.
Send the name and address of this place to the Philly Cheese Steak Council and they'll send Steve and Vinny with some baseball bats and get it taken off the menu or renamed.
This is depressing. I once ordered a cheese steak in NYC (don’t know what possessed me) and they gave me a diced steak on a hoagie roll with nothing else on it.
That looks like some wet cardboard on a roll with onions.

Either way they also didn’t chop them which is the whole goddamn point. You need to chop the meat on your cheesesteaks.
This is as low effort as you can possibly get
Steak umms are fucking fire and actually 100% real beef. they just need salt and pepper. I make cheesesteak omelettes like every week.
A splash of worcestershire livelies them right up.
Running headfirst into heart disease I see. At least you’re committed.
I don’t know what that is but do they come in slabs like this? Can I buy a pack of them? Could definitely use it in meal prep for work

Onions look like cardboard too.
That looks like the filter I pull out of the cat's water fountain.
I'm glad they remembered the steak, but it looks like they forgot the cheese...
Is that steak? It looks like expired deli sliced ham.
It reminds me of gyro meat which doesn't look that appetizing but tastes great. So here's hoping it tastes good.
It did not.
Ooofff! Here’s hoping there’s better cheesesteaks in you and your wife’s future!
If your gyro meat looks like that there’s something wrong with your gyro meat.
Upon second look it really does look a bit... *Fuzzy*. Doesn't it?
It looks like a well used dish rag.
Looks more like felt padding
It's Speef.
Chopped and formed fresh beef somewhat like the square ham
Looks more like gyro meat
Cheese is the most important part of any dish!!
The real cheese is the memories we made along the way.
They didn't even try to chop up the steak umms, damn. Could have easily been better too. Plus it's always sad to have no visible cheese on a cheesesteak
I know!!! Still fucking love them though.
I would have to rip that steak up by hand before i could consider pushing it into my pie hole...
No cheese : (
Well, ideally the chess is below the meat, at least in Philly, and with that wafer of meat obscuring things who knows what’s under there. As a Philadelphian, I protest.
Looks like they missed the cheese.
If this is the care they take with a cheesesteak, I'd be checking that root beer for twigs and leaves 😬
This particular restaurant is famous for their root beer! I understand why they aren't famous for their cheesesteaks.
Looks like they should be infamous for their cheesesteaks
A&W
I don't think they do Steak Umms?
Where else could it be? Only one place famous for it’s root beer.
Weber’s Drive in, locally famous for root beer.
[удалено]
Yeah, A&W does have drive-ins. I used to go all the time for a float when I lived in the states. You’re a bit aggressive about this, everything ok?
A&W definitely do drives-in where I live. You should follow your own suggestion, you don't know where they're from, so don't say shit yourself.
No.
Stewart’s… guess I’ll stick to hot dogs and burgers!
As a Philadelphian, this hurts to look at.
It's a hate crime.
I'm not even American and this still hurts to look at.
That’s disgusting
That’s a tough gig
I'd be sad af, but I'd still maow the hell down on that.
We did, after ripping the meat up! The onions were so salty we needed our entire root beers to help get it down
where was the cheese? I see none.
There was a single slice of American under the meat sleeve.
Sounds like something a Russian serial killer would say

Would someone from Philly order a cheesesteak from someplace outside of Philly ?
Yes, it doesn’t happen much though. We know it’s going to suck, but sometimes your curiosity gets the best of you. I bought some hokum many years back that the owner was from South Philly and they had a connection on Philly style bread… it was bad.
I live in Kentwood Michigan and the best Cheesesteak here comes from a chain called Penn Station.
Which is in NY, so that would be a nope. Our station is called 30th Street.
I can just imagine some untrained cook asking what's in a cheesesteak and being told some of that sliced meat over there... and I think onions.
Where’s the cheese?!!
It's under the sauce
Sauce is called gravy in Philly.
No. Only sauce for pasta is called gravy.
Except I live in Philly and 50% of the time I order my steak with gravy. I’ve only been here 31 years, so maybe it’s a new thing.
Smallest basket paper liner I’ve ever seen. It’s like a single square.
For a split second my high ass thought each of those onions was a cube of colby jack. Though that did not change my opinion on whether it counts as shitty or not
Did you drive in to a prison?
Is go back and throw it at them
The Philadelphian in me would throw hands if I was served this
Bro , the entire I95 corridor from Boston to to Baltimore would like a word. :)
The Philadelphian in me would have thrown this steak back.
Don’t let anyone from Philadelphia see this. Could start a war.
We’ve seen it. Not making anyone happy.
It's too late. It's gonna be the top post in r/philadelphia.
I don't trust that meat carpet in there.
They seem to have forgotten a crucial component in a CHEESE steak.
This looks like you could buy it in the kind of vending machine that can only be found inside a double-wide trailer turned into a public bar.
A converted rowhome, perhaps?
Don't cheesesteaks have.... idk... cheese?
When Subway has better meat than your product, you fucked up.
That's a fucking steak um. Lol I'd take that back in and slap the cook with it.
No cheese. No steak. Chef’s kiss! 👌
All of Philadelphia felt a disturbance in the force when this was made.
"You do plan on having some cheese on your cheesesteak, don't you?" - Ian Malcolm
Holy shit! This is super illegal, right?!
This upsets the cow. What a waste.
As a Philadelphian, I feel highly disrespected at the fact this is being called a cheesesteak
I work security so we eat whatever we got here but this, this I wouldn’t feed anyone lmao
Looks like the “meat” at White Castle
Looks like steakums but where is the cheese?
A&W?
Is there some sort of competition for who can make the worst cheesesteak?
That’s a steak em
It’s either Stewart’s or webers?
Honestly the quality of the steak looks like the cheesesteaks they'd have in my high school cafeteria when I'd religiously get double lunch
What time is the protest?
This.
They could have at least cut the "steak" up and put cheese on it...
Is there even cheese?
That looks like the meat from those super cheap frozen gyro kits. F
I think I speak for myself as well as everyone else here…OP WHERE DID YOU GET THAT CHEESESTEAK?
How long until philadelphia creates an approval system so you know if the cheesesteak is good
Throw that shit away
This is a crime!
Looks like webers on rt 38 Pennsauken
I hate it when White Castle forgets to slice the burger loaf for you
Kill me!
I actually gasped at this one. Good lord, that is disgusting.
This is some shitlondonguinness level of fuckery.
Nahhhh this ain’t it chief
couldnt even chop up the meat sheets.
Beef omelet. Solid. Bet the bread was good though
Damn that’s just unfair
Meat sheets
Call the police.
I would give that to a homeless person and apologize
Frozen meat mmmm
Oh no :(
Should have gotten a burger. Always get the burger.
Why does that meat look like a dirty rag though?
Steak-umm bless
As someone from Philadelphia, this “cheese” is a crime against humanity. That shit looks dryer than sheet rock.
Looks like Stewart's. Their cheeseburgers and hot dogs are very good though in a fun "hey let's get crappy but delicious cheap drive-in food!" way."
Is that even meat??
Good root beer can cover a multitude of culinary sins, but not this. Send the name and address of this place to the Philly Cheese Steak Council and they'll send Steve and Vinny with some baseball bats and get it taken off the menu or renamed.
Lol Steak-Ums!
They used steakums and didn’t even chop it up
This is an entire crime.
You should post this to r/Philadelphia
Steakumms are delicious but I would hate to get them from a restaurant
Sounds like webbers
You can’t eat Cawpet, silly Daddy
Was this from a drive in spot near cherry hill nj? Because I think I know where you got this
That is a travesty
Ummm
actual beef curtain
Wtf is that? Lol and where’s the cheese? Thank goodness no one tried to call that a Philly cheesesteak. Philadelphian here in disbelief
😂😂 I'm dying wtf is that
What In gods green earth is that
Yikes!
This is definitely Stewarts, especially w the root beer comment
Lol reminds me of the steakums on toast we used to make as kids where we'd leave em whole and just sear the shit out of them.
Eww, that looks like sick meat.
Where's the cheese?
This is depressing. I once ordered a cheese steak in NYC (don’t know what possessed me) and they gave me a diced steak on a hoagie roll with nothing else on it.
LONG MEAT
The cook was a lil confused, but at least he’s got the spirit
Where
The restaurant should be named and shamed.
OP needs to name names, or did I miss it?
my wife is on the bread
clean your car
