Not at all what it used to be, the cheese steak from there used to be so big it had to be eaten with a fork first. It's nothing like that anymore, but somehow the price actually went up by a fourth. Just another basic cheese steak now. Explains why I didn't have to wait another hour after it was supposed to be ready. Don't lose what made y'all big.
Chef Bones never disappoints...miss you in Dover..so I had to stop today on the way home from north.. cheese steak wasn't overflowing like the one I got years back in Dover but the collards made up for it ..glad to see you are in my old stomping grounds...
This cheesesteak was really flavorful and cheesy. The Mac and cheese was really good as well. First time eating here and will be back.
Introduction:
This was me and my boyfriend's first time purchasing food here. My sister recommended getting the cheesesteaks.
Welcome:
We were told to call and order ahead due to how busy they are. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone to place my order was very friendly and made ordering a pleasure...thank you! When my boyfriend went into the store to pick up our order he said, "they were very nice" and had a since of humor.
Experience:
The workers there showed friendliness and professionalism both on the phone and onsite.
Ambiance:
It was crowded and it was fairly clean but it was a full house.
Food:
Our order was chef cheesesteak, greens (made with turkey), mac&cheese, corn bread, ribs (6), and brisket (spicy) sandwich.
The cheesesteak was big and packed with meat. We cut it into four pieces and our portion was like having a half size for both of us. The taste was ok but did not live up to the hype. Some of the meat was hard to eat and it was kind of bland. The greens (portion size is small) were good but the leaves were large which made it a little harder to eat. I think it would be better if they cut it. The brisket sandwich was was good but again it would be easier to eat if it was sliced smaller but I loved the bun. The mac&cheese (portion size small) was not good. The cornbread was delicious.
Price:
The quantity was worth the price (excluding. the sides) but the quality (taste) was not.
Will return: Yes, but only for specific selections. I would also like to taste their desserts.
Stars: Three the food was mediocre in taste. We called shortly after they opened on a Saturday morning and they had no desserts, I didn't understand that. I was told the person that makes the desserts did not make them yet. At opening everything should be available unless it is discontinued or they do not have it.
Tip: It is à la carte and that can become pricey.
We tried Tenderbones today. The service and atmosphere was great! No complaints there. We ordered a brisket sandwich and the sauce was delicious. Unfortunately the brisket itself was extremely fatty, hard and chewy. We were so disappointed ????. Everything else tasted good. Hopefully it was just a bad day, but we had to throw more than half of the brisket away.
The beef brisket was very flavorful and delicious. The spare ribs were flavorful. They were tender but not too off bone. I like the texture. Hubby loves the phily cheese steak. I am not the fan so I didn’t eat it. The employee was very friendly and patient. Plenty parking at the front door. Recommend!
The best Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich I've had. I'll admit, I haven't tried them everywhere, but the places I have tried them can't even come close to touching the flavor packed, perfect meat, cheese, and veggie ratio; and enough to last for a few meals for me. We loved it so much, we returned to buy another round to take home. If you're nearby, don't miss out!!!
Today I had the privilege of enjoying the most delicious BBQ ribs. They were juicy, tender, tasty, cooked and seasoned to perfection.
My family has also enjoyed the signature cheese steak which is absolutely delicious, second to none (and I Iived in Phila for four years so I know authentic Philly cheese steak ). However, Chef Bones has taken cheese steak to a whole new level. Thank you for the homemade good take out experience ❤️
