Probably the worst cheese steak ive ever had, served on a hotdog roll for godsakes. The chilli on it made my stomach hurt like a... mofo for about an hour. Will say the price was cheap though. Read more

Grease...ugh. The bun was like a grease filled sponge. The meat was overcooked. The taste of the condiments was overpowered by... the flavor of burnt grease. The hotdog was another waste of money. All we could taste was mustard. The chili was almostnonexistent. [Accessibility] It's a sub level with steps. Read more

Brimstone here with another Tidbit in Allentown, PA! Little place (literally) who packed powerful flavor in EVERY bite! Willy... Joe's has been in business since 1945 when factories overran Allentown and business was thriving. This location was originallyowned and operated by William & Josephine (hence the name Willy Joe's), and this spot was, is and always will be a name to bereckoned with! Current owner Rich and his partner bought into the establishment at some point in the eighties and opened up asecond location (also in Allentown). Once Josephine was ready to retire, she invited Rich and his wife Holly to take over thespot where it all began. And so we begin... We started off simple with what locals call the Dog Everything... raw onions,mustard and home made chili sauce on a steamed bun. I'll start by saying the hot dog had the allure of a NYC dirty water dog;but without all the concern for your health! The dog was juicy, had a light crisp to the skin, and packed a really nice flavorwhich worked really well with all the condiments on it. Even without ketchup on it, (if I wanted the full experience from whenJosephine was in charge) the flavor was bold and well blended. Now the kicker was that it'll only set you back $1.30 withEVERYTHING!!! Meanwhile, only an extra .24 cents for their special cheese! Nothing crazy, nothing fancy... just a good oldfashioned tasty Hot Dog. The next hidden treasure that we sampled was comically called the SOB... Steak On Burger (should havebeen for Sss' Only for Brim!). The Hounds sucked that bad boy up stat! Unreal, a cheese steak burger with banana peppers, thatyummy chili, pickles, onions and their secret Steak Sauce that was BOSS - all nestled on a freshly steamed Kaiser roll! I'mnaming this one my personal WIN of the day. Quickly to follow were the Chili Cheese Fries and NOTHING is better than fries thatSTAY crispy with all the trimmings hot and dripping on top! The cheese is off the hook; a blend of cheese whiz wit Read more
