I'm a fan, and every person i've heard of who's been here has raved about this place. So it's kind of surprising to hear from someone who didn't really like it.<br /><br />But regardless of what you think of the cheesesteaks, Tom(the owner) is a real stand up guy. He's an Alameda guy and he takes care to make every sandwich his very best. He told me about a customer he had to cut off because they were coming to his place everyday and it wasn't healthy for them. And he was also debating whether or not he should stay open late night because he didn't want to encourage that disruptive "element" in Alameda; he feels responsible for keeping our city safe and clean. <br /><br />I guess one of the benefits of not having any tables is that you're forced to actually have a conversation with the person making your food. ;) <br /><br />I enjoy reading your reviews!Poppawinsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447026465331463558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170162090710173515.post-3805534945150974122009-10-15T15:42:06.343-07:002009-10-15T15:42:06.343-07:00Your original entry did not include The Cheesestea...Your original entry did not include The Cheesesteak Shop -- did you ever go there? It's in the Nob Hill shopping center and it's fantastic! <br /><br />I respectfully disagree with your "no good cheesesteak in Alameda" assessment -- that place is great.<br /><br />Thanks for this, review, though -- I'll stick with the Cheesesteak Shop!Kellynoreply@blogger.com
