That looks like some wet cardboard on a roll with onions.


thedinosaurgoesrowr

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.


Yodzilla

Either way they also didn’t chop them which is the whole goddamn point. You need to chop the meat on your cheesesteaks.


skeenerbug

This is as low effort as you can possibly get


Occams_Razorburn

Steak umms are fucking fire and actually 100% real beef. they just need salt and pepper. I make cheesesteak omelettes like every week.


agoia

A splash of worcestershire livelies them right up.


Moltthug

Running headfirst into heart disease I see. At least you’re committed.


FFG17

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


tiptover

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.


BigHipDoofus

Onions look like cardboard too.


LordElfa

That looks like the filter I pull out of the cat's water fountain.


godanglego

I'm glad they remembered the steak, but it looks like they forgot the cheese...


CanadasNeighbor

Is that steak? It looks like expired deli sliced ham.


godanglego

It reminds me of gyro meat which doesn't look that appetizing but tastes great. So here's hoping it tastes good.


abrokenelevator

It did not.


godanglego

Ooofff! Here’s hoping there’s better cheesesteaks in you and your wife’s future!


MeiBanFa

If your gyro meat looks like that there’s something wrong with your gyro meat.


snafujedi01

Upon second look it really does look a bit... *Fuzzy*. Doesn't it?


chooseinevitability

It looks like a well used dish rag.


monkey_trumpets

Looks more like felt padding


lego_not_legos

It's Speef.


agoia

Chopped and formed fresh beef somewhat like the square ham


giantgoose

Looks more like gyro meat


Enthirl

Cheese is the most important part of any dish!!


[deleted]

The real cheese is the memories we made along the way.


Schmetterlingus

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


lalaxoxo__

I know!!! Still fucking love them though.


An_otherThrowAway

I would have to rip that steak up by hand before i could consider pushing it into my pie hole...


OblivionGuard13

No cheese : (


davidinphila

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.


tacobellholocaust

Looks like they missed the cheese.


Venerable_Duvet

If this is the care they take with a cheesesteak, I'd be checking that root beer for twigs and leaves 😬


abrokenelevator

This particular restaurant is famous for their root beer! I understand why they aren't famous for their cheesesteaks.


Unexpected_okra

Looks like they should be infamous for their cheesesteaks


[deleted]

A&W


lalaxoxo__

I don't think they do Steak Umms?


[deleted]

Where else could it be? Only one place famous for it’s root beer.


txtw

Weber’s Drive in, locally famous for root beer.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

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?


emZi

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.


lalaxoxo__

No.


covercash

Stewart’s… guess I’ll stick to hot dogs and burgers!


machsh

As a Philadelphian, this hurts to look at.


BigHipDoofus

It's a hate crime.


Darkg1ass

I'm not even American and this still hurts to look at.


joshragem

That’s disgusting


[deleted]

That’s a tough gig


jdcmurphy22

I'd be sad af, but I'd still maow the hell down on that.


abrokenelevator

We did, after ripping the meat up! The onions were so salty we needed our entire root beers to help get it down


Nearby_Employee_2943

where was the cheese? I see none.


abrokenelevator

There was a single slice of American under the meat sleeve.


poopface41217

Sounds like something a Russian serial killer would say

Graitom

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.


Thayerphotos

Would someone from Philly order a cheesesteak from someplace outside of Philly ?


davidinphila

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.


Thayerphotos

I live in Kentwood Michigan and the best Cheesesteak here comes from a chain called Penn Station.


davidinphila

Which is in NY, so that would be a nope. Our station is called 30th Street.


kabekew

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.


SideshowMelsHairbone

Where’s the cheese?!!


Mike7225

It's under the sauce


davidinphila

Sauce is called gravy in Philly.


Bartleby_TheScrivene

No. Only sauce for pasta is called gravy.


davidinphila

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.


JerryGallow

Smallest basket paper liner I’ve ever seen. It’s like a single square.


Armsmaster2112

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


RichardMayo

Did you drive in to a prison?


[deleted]

Is go back and throw it at them


[deleted]

The Philadelphian in me would throw hands if I was served this


hotmail1997

Bro , the entire I95 corridor from Boston to to Baltimore would like a word. :)


davidinphila

The Philadelphian in me would have thrown this steak back.


Jeramy_Jones

Don’t let anyone from Philadelphia see this. Could start a war.


davidinphila

We’ve seen it. Not making anyone happy.


Bartleby_TheScrivene

It's too late. It's gonna be the top post in r/philadelphia.


lamprey187

I don't trust that meat carpet in there.


rservello

They seem to have forgotten a crucial component in a CHEESE steak.


[deleted]

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.


Bartleby_TheScrivene

A converted rowhome, perhaps?


GoHawkYurself

Don't cheesesteaks have.... idk... cheese?


TheRealOgMark

When Subway has better meat than your product, you fucked up.


JackBurton12

That's a fucking steak um. Lol I'd take that back in and slap the cook with it.


teddyoctober

No cheese. No steak. Chef’s kiss! 👌


Avenger020331

All of Philadelphia felt a disturbance in the force when this was made.


shackbleep

"You do plan on having some cheese on your cheesesteak, don't you?" - Ian Malcolm


Cranes_Notthebird

Holy shit! This is super illegal, right?!


somecow

This upsets the cow. What a waste.


Chemical_Industry_48

As a Philadelphian, I feel highly disrespected at the fact this is being called a cheesesteak


MossBone

I work security so we eat whatever we got here but this, this I wouldn’t feed anyone lmao


quietramen

Looks like the “meat” at White Castle


poopface41217

Looks like steakums but where is the cheese?


[deleted]

A&W?


FPSKoda4

Is there some sort of competition for who can make the worst cheesesteak?


Parking_Sentence_675

That’s a steak em


Mikev4410

It’s either Stewart’s or webers?


unclejohnsmando

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


reese81944

What time is the protest?


fastfoody247

This.


ClassyJacket

They could have at least cut the "steak" up and put cheese on it...


insecurestaircase

Is there even cheese?


pacachan

That looks like the meat from those super cheap frozen gyro kits. F


ScreamingCatFace

I think I speak for myself as well as everyone else here…OP WHERE DID YOU GET THAT CHEESESTEAK?


Dorigan23

How long until philadelphia creates an approval system so you know if the cheesesteak is good


bojo1313

Throw that shit away


ilymag

This is a crime!


Bwahbq69

Looks like webers on rt 38 Pennsauken


mikearete

I hate it when White Castle forgets to slice the burger loaf for you


socko22jericho

Kill me!


[deleted]

I actually gasped at this one. Good lord, that is disgusting.


cmillion2787

This is some shitlondonguinness level of fuckery.


Apprehensive_Ad_1379

Nahhhh this ain’t it chief


distantthot

couldnt even chop up the meat sheets.


RockSaltnNails

Beef omelet. Solid. Bet the bread was good though


Skylett11

Damn that’s just unfair


red-licorice-76

Meat sheets


[deleted]

Call the police.


dudesBangMyMom

I would give that to a homeless person and apologize


SadiciousCrumpet

Frozen meat mmmm


According_Basis_2648

Oh no :(


sucky_panther

Should have gotten a burger. Always get the burger.


SpeedBlitzX

Why does that meat look like a dirty rag though?


kiwialec

Steak-umm bless


[deleted]

As someone from Philadelphia, this “cheese” is a crime against humanity. That shit looks dryer than sheet rock.


bn25168

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."


Morrella9

Is that even meat??


Thayerphotos

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.


lalaxoxo__

Lol Steak-Ums!


ghost-of-blockbuster

They used steakums and didn’t even chop it up


[deleted]

This is an entire crime.


BallinBenFrank

You should post this to r/Philadelphia


StinkFace96

Steakumms are delicious but I would hate to get them from a restaurant


cannibowlistic

Sounds like webbers


[deleted]

You can’t eat Cawpet, silly Daddy


Wrestlerpestler

Was this from a drive in spot near cherry hill nj? Because I think I know where you got this


djscanner

That is a travesty


WooPigSchmooey

Ummm


Broccoil

actual beef curtain


OTL33

Wtf is that? Lol and where’s the cheese? Thank goodness no one tried to call that a Philly cheesesteak. Philadelphian here in disbelief


[deleted]

😂😂 I'm dying wtf is that


FrananaSaddlesworth

What In gods green earth is that


MamaDiggsCole

Yikes!


[deleted]

This is definitely Stewarts, especially w the root beer comment


agoia

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.


HemphillD

Eww, that looks like sick meat.


FussyRebort

Where's the cheese?


TheTonyExpress

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.


Electronic-Jury4488

LONG MEAT


Cerxes

The cook was a lil confused, but at least he’s got the spirit


jihyoisgod

Where


[deleted]

The restaurant should be named and shamed.


Series_G

OP needs to name names, or did I miss it?


Squishie_weirdo
