Went for some carry out dinner last night and just had to post.

Mark - thanks for “popping” out and introducing yourself.  Your food is phenomenal and the prices are most reasonable.  The cheesesteaks are every bit of what has already been posted.  I don’t think we’ve ever encountered that amount of both QUALITY & QUANTITY in a cheesesteak!!!

We will be back...often.

Oh, and Mark, your “North America” pizza was equally enjoyed.  Can’t thank you enough for that kind gesture - you just don’t see that much anymore.  KUDOS!!!!!

To those that have been there (or own the place - hehe), how’s the parking?  We’ll be swinging by that way tonight, but we’ll be towing our camper on our way out.  Just don’t want to get in a situation where I’m stuck, but if there’s decent parking (I know space in town can be tight) I’d love to stop by on our way.  We were just talking about what to do for dinner tonight.

Bobby, mapquest the directions, it’s not in Fawn Grove proper.  It’s on New Park road.  You can’t miss it. Look for the checkered flags.  I think there is parking on the side you could swing a trailer into.

Bobby,

There is not too much room for a trailer.  The parking next to the building is private parking for the building owner.  If there is a downside about our opening this week it is the parking :( Sorry all!

Well, we’ll swing by on our way out and if we can figure out a place to park we will.  If not, we’ll stop in another time!

I cruised by on Sunday and they were closed. Signed said there was a problem with the Pizza Oven. Hopefully it all gets sorted out. Keep us updated Mark.

We are closed on Sundays.  The pizza oven is still on the fritz.  I am waiting on the repair folks to get here, so I hope we will be good to go by tomorrow at the latest.

I appreciate everyone that visited us last week.  We were swamped and sold over 200 pounds of cheese steaks.  We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our delivery truck because we have run out of quite a few things.  They promise to be here by noon today.  I hope so or I am going to start taking a close look at some of those heffers on the farm next door!  wink

Chief,

It was a pleasure to meet you today!  It is really neat to be able to put faces with the names.  I am glad you enjoyed your subs and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

We had a huge order this past weekend from the Checkered Flag 500 Grill. The cheesesteaks and cheeseburger subs were fantastic. The cheesesteaks were huge and really tasty. The sides (fries, onion rings and mozz sticks) even stood out from the other carry out places around. They were tasty but not overly greasy. We will definitely be back for more. Keep up the good work.

Got by there tonight and scooped up on a couple “Champion” Cheese Steaks, Cheeseburger Subs with Fries. As advertised, it was wonderfull. Even the way it was packaged, it was still fairly warm when I got it back over here to the Station doing the Speed Limit too, wink . The Counter help was pleasent too. Nice Job Mark! My only negative is I wish it were closer to the Station.

YUM YUM YUM YUM YUMMMMM!  Now THAT was a sub! 

Since we missed last week (we rode by but there was definitely no place to park a trailer), we stopped in tonight.  Well worth the wait (although earlier would’ve been fine too).

The broccoli cheese bites weren’t what I was expecting, but you don’t go somewhere for the sides.  The subs were huge, not greasy, but mighty tasty.  Definitely the best you can get without hauling your cookies to Dundalk.  We enjoyed the conversation with the family (comparing histories) while waiting - which wasn’t long at all!! 

Didn’t get a chance to sample the desserts, we had to get back into town for some errands.  But I wanted to leave something for next time!

But I agree, only bad thing about this place is that it’s not in S-town smile WTG Mark, keep it up and you’ll be running these other places out of business!!
