I visited here for the first time in a decade. I've always been a fan of the original Captain Harvey's on Dundalk Ave, dating back to the late 1970s. These are new owners at this location. The cheesesteak sub did not disappoint. They've always been HUGE, and they still are. I think it's slightly smaller than it used to be, and they prepare it differently now. Instead of mountainous piles of beef and onions cooking on the grill, it appears that they precook the meat and keep it in a metal container on the grill, then just portion it out with each order and reheat it.

I hope that $15.00 you got was worth it cause it cost you a regular customer of...
Read moreGreat cheese steaks! Hard working folks behind the counter, good food, service was good. You seat yourself after you order at the counter. They bring food to you when it is ready.
The cheese steak sub was huge and great tasting. A 1/2 sub can easily be split between two people. It took 3 days to finish the whole sub.
