What is a Philly cheesesteak?
A Philly cheesesteak is a long roll filled with thinly sliced steak cooked on a hot griddle, topped with melted cheese. It comes from Philadelphia, where it's been a local favorite for generations. Common add-ons include grilled onions, peppers and mushrooms.
What makes a good cheesesteak is simple: tender meat, cooked fresh on the grill, with cheese melted right into it and a soft roll that holds everything together. Charleys has been grilling cheesesteaks to order since 1986.
Steak or chicken: which should I get?
- Steak cheesesteak: the classic. Charleys uses USDA choice steak, griddled and chopped with cheese. Go with this if you want the traditional version.
- Chicken cheesesteak: made with all-white-meat chicken. It's a little lighter and a good option for anyone who doesn't eat red meat.
