    This spot has me planning when to return. The place emphasizes comfort over formality. The food stands above others. Inviting, amiable, friendly, skilled. My next meal will feature different selections.

    We were exploring the Flat Iron district and stopped in for a quick lunch. They have a lunch special including a cheesesteak, fries and a beer for $20. My husband and I were able to share, the sandwich is large and delicious. Atmosphere is wonderful, plenty of TVs for watching your favorite sports. We will definitely return!

    I hope everyone reads this before they order UberEats , Grubhub or DoorDash before ordering. The cheesesteak is so horrible that I wouldn’t eat it. The worst cheesesteak in my life, and it’s not hard to make a cheesesteak. Now it makes sense as to why they’re calling themselves Bosscat cheesesteak online. Nobody would buy this horrible food if they knew it was the Olde City place. When restaurants start to do this it’s because nobody’s ordering their food anymore. The next stop Buy 1 Get 1 Free, and then they’ll end up closing down. I really hope that happens sooner than later! It’s not like this place is serving the neighborhood good great food. It’s just an eye sore every time I walk by it.
