Earlier this week I noticed that a small cheesesteak restaurant had opened on Bancroft near Dutton, and today I had the opportunity to go give it a try. It was an OK experience, it’s a place I’d go back but not rush back to.
Al Attles’ serves hoagies and rice plates, and on this occasion both Mike and I had the steak & cheese hoagy ($8). We also ordered a portion of onion rings ($3.25).
The onion rings were fine. The breading was less flavorful than what I would have liked, and they weren’t served with ranch dressing, which I would also have liked, but they tasted as if they were made with fresh oil. They weren’t greasy, which I did like.
The hoagies were also much less greasy than those served at other local establishment. The meat was mostly lean, the vegetables (grilled onions, green peppers, lettuce and tomatoes) fresh, and the sandwich quite large. It was a bit unwieldy, however, and the meat kept falling off, so I mostly ended up eating a veggie sandwich. The flavor was fine, the meat (when there) was a bit overwhelmed by the other flavors, but all in all, I liked it. It didn’t awe me, though.
Service was very good. The small restaurant doesn’t have anything resembling ambiance, but it’s a cheese steak restaurant after all.
