Forefathers Cheesesteaks

Being born and raised in South Jersey just a few miles from Philly and after moving to this area and missing a good Philly Cheesesteak, Forefathers is an incredible find. Wow. Had a regular size with fried onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and hot peppers. Side of crispy fresh delicious fries. Life is good again. Pics attached.

Third time trying this place. First time at this location. Every steak sandwich at both locations, no matter the cheese or add ons, has this weird how a wet dish towel smells flavor. Staff is consistently flippant and too caught up in their own conversations to do anything other than yell out an order number. The fries are good.

Service was great. I liked the build your own option. I got a Mini with steak, mozzarella, ALL the veggies listed, and jalapeno cilantro ranch. My husband got the Regular steak, provolone, ALL the veggies listed and cheese wiz sauce. We shared the seasoned fries with the fry dipping sauce. I usually snap photos of our food, but we went in hungry and accidentally devoured everything. Both our sandwiches tasted Amazing! The sauce made a huge difference between both our meals. Both great flavors but completely different taste because of the added sauce. The thin steak was well seasoned, the veggies were mixed in well (were other places might throw them in and make it sloppy) this place filled in the sandwich perfectly. The sandwich was rolled into a foil where it allowed all the flavors to ma

I don't know what they put in their sandwiches to make them so darn good but I'm halfway convinced it's illegal. The flavor of the sandwiches is out of sight. However I recommend don't go there on a date night or anything because you will be a mess when you leave. You'll probably find cheese in places the next day that you didn't expect. Always a great go-to. They are a little pricey but I never feel like I've been overcharged or anything. Fortunately I am in a position where I can afford it very easily. But if I wasn't blessed with being financially secure I could see how people would think it was a little pricey. But this definitely is a case of you get what you pay for. I sometimes get the feeling that they close a little too early though. But whatever time they close I will work around

I typically order the regular size (8" or so), wife chooses the small (5"-6"). They offer many fry choices (regular, sweet potato and loaded). It's an off menu option, but you can ask for a half-half (half regular, half sweet potato). Each meal is made to order, steaming hot and with delicious, soft bread. I don't live near either Forefathers location, but it's always on top of the list when I am traveling The Valley. 👍👍
