i have scoured the greater Fairfax County area over the past 4 months in search of the best Cheesesteak Sub. I can confidently say, I have found it at Georges Steak n Things. I rate my Cheesesteak Subs in 4 areas:
Presentation: See picture below. this place is your classic, no frills shop. also its a cheesesteak, so no reason to fancy it up too much. it looks like a cheesesteak. nice crispy toasted bread with ample fillings. 5/5
Next is Taste: for this order i had the Cajun Chicken version. Cajun added a touch that just set this sub apart from your traditional cheesesteak without going overboard. additional ingredients were good. would have preferred a better tomato, but that's just nit picking. 4.5/5
Price: you can get a chicken sub combo for 9.99 (6'') perfect for a lunch time meal. I had the 12" which ran about 16.50 with fries and a drink + tip.
times are touch and food is expensive, but for the most part i think its a fair deal 4.5/5.
last and MOST IMPORTANT (along with taste of course)
Handling: my biggest pet peeve is trying to pick up an over stuffed, sloppy, wet cheesesteak sub. But let me tell you, Georges has perfected this area. the filling was juicy, and full flavored while the bread held its integrity through the entire meal. I mean, it was downright impressive how well the sandwich held together, from first bite to last, it had a crunchy bite all the way through. easy 5/5.
overall 4.8 on my personal rating and my go to for steak and cheese for the foreseeable future.
Honorable Mention: the Fries. SUPER crispy battered, fries that pair perfectly with the sub. wish i had more but for the price i think i was given a good amount. (i had already devoured 50% of them before taking the photo). ~joshua
