Life in the Lower Mainland (BC, Canada)

After Dine Out Vancouver 2016 at The American Cheesesteak Company , I had to come back to use my vouchers. Somehow I ended up with three, so happily I managed to get a couple of friends to come with me before they expired at the end of this month. This time around, I decided to try their most basic and traditional Cheesesteak, and chose the Philly ($10, cheese + sauteed onions) with American Cheese. I wanted to know what the fuss was about that started this. Huge mistake. It was horribly boring. Also, "American Cheese" is white like mozza but kinda tastes like Kraft cheese singles. Ick. Sauce -- any kind of sauce -- would make it infinitely better, and I looked wistfully at my friends enjoying theirs that cost them just a couple of dollars more. They had the Koagie ($13) and Cowboy ($12 and their most popular one). Even without our $5 vouchers, price for portion is excellent. You're getting maybe more meat than two McDonalds burgers that weigh in at around

Overall I feel The American Cheesesteak Company is offering a very good deal during Dine Out Vancouver 2016. Since you get a voucher for $5 off, the net cost is only $15. Even at $20, what you get is a sizable and tasty meal, complete with drink. Even without Dine Out Vancouver, their sandwiches/subs are already about twice the size of a gourmet burger at a comparable price. The DOV menu is NOT for takeout, but if you're worried about finishing your sandwich, you may want to work on your side, and then wrap up your sandwich to go. You can get a steak knife from the condiments counter to cut a portion of your sandwich for eating there.
