A really good ad might pique our interest in a restaurant we’ve never tried before, but what’s the one thing that pushes us to try it for ourselves? Many times it’s the word-of-mouth from others, especially those we know and trust. This restaurant serves one of the best cheesesteaks in Pennsylvania. It’s so popular it has a cult following with diners showering praise on this scrumptious sandwich. One bite into the Water Gap cheesesteak or the chicken cheesesteak, and you’ll likely join them.
Pennsylvania’s known for its cheesesteaks, most notably the Philly cheesesteak, and every Pennsylvanian arguably has their own vote for who serves the best in the state.
Delighted diners describe it using an array of glowing terms – wonderful, exquisite, amazing, delicious, and awesome are just a few. What words will you use to describe this iconic sandwich after you take that first bite?
If you’re a fan of the classic Philly cheesesteak, that’s pretty much the Water Gap, complete with shaved steak, peppers, onions, and melted cheese sat on a toasted sub roll.
The chicken cheesesteak, on the other hand, features grilled chicken, peppers, onions, and house-made queso cheese on a toasted sub roll. Can you feel your mouth watering already? Both cheesesteaks come with a hearty helping of fries.
While you’ve come for the cheesesteak, what happens if you have someone who doesn’t like the iconic sandwich? Not to worry as the menu’s brimming with a slew of other favorites – from New York strip steak and pasta dishes to sandwiches and fried seafood.
