How have I lived less than two miles from here and not tried this location once? I don't have an answer for that question. But today I finally got around to grabbing some grub from Sammy's, and man, I shouldn't have put this off as long as I have.
This place is great. I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak sammich with fresh cut fries and a brownie flurry. Everything was spot on delicious, and the value is really good.
I will start with the sammich. The steak itself was seasoned more than most other restaurants. And the added kick of A1 really made it stand out. I don't get A1 sauce on anything really, but for some reason it really worked here.
My only complaints would be that it could have used a bit more cheese. But other than that, this Philly is a win.
The fresh cut fries were delish. They aren't salted, but they do give you salt packets for them. So I can live with that. I'm gonna try the curly fries next time I think.
The flurry was solid. Good ice cream and the brownie bits weren't so big as to be obtrusive. It was also mixed well. So many times you get a flurry, or blizzard, or concrete mixer and the bottom third is just ice cream. Not here. Brownie bits to the very bottom.
Also, it's a really good value. I spent $18 for my meal. With a large flurry, I feel that price is very reasonable.
All in all, really good first experience. I'll be back, and often.
Edit: Came back the next day for lunch. I ordered the rodeo burger with curly fries and a chocolate malt milkshake. Everything was delish, with one disappointment.
The only disappointment was that they were out of curly fries. So they gave me waffle fries instead. I ordered online and picked up at the drive thru window. So I understand why they substituted my order. Would have appreciated them telling me before I got home though. I would have probably substituted for something other than the waffle fries.
That being said, the waffle fries were fine. Needed salt, but they were fine.
The rodeo burger was delish. The burger could have used a bit more seasoning, but the BBQ sauce and onion rings topping it made up for that. All in all, I'd order it again.
The chocolate malt milkshake was fantastic. It was really thick. Not quite frosty at Wendy's thick, but not far off. And it had a lot of malt flavor to it.
Every bit as good as the ones I get at UDF. And I have always said UDF has my favorite chocolate malt milkshakes.
Also, there was a nice discount added to my order when I ordered online. Love that. It's convenient, easy, and saves me money. What more can you ask for?
I'll be back many many times, I'm sure.
Edit 2: Ordered lunch online today. Footlong coney with slaw and onion rings. I also ordered a Reese's flurry.
Disappointing experience. Got there a couple minutes before my order was scheduled to be ready. I thought I might have a short wait, but no big deal. Went up to the drive thru window and waited 10 minutes without anyone coming to the window.
Parked and walked up to the walk up window. They weren't busy, I was the only one there. And there were two people working. They said the bell didn't ring when I pulled up, but I heard it go off at least four times. Neither of the employees were paying any attention.
So by the time I got home my onion rings were cold and my coney was luke warm. Not a great experience. When adding in the fact they substituted my fries the last time I was there without telling me, I think I'm done coming here for lunch. Food is good, but the service sucks.
Oh, and the footlong hot dogs aren't footlongs....They just give you two regular sized hot dogs. Such a weird...
