Amato's Philly Cheesteaks, 1162 Saratoga Avenue, San Jose, CA ph.(408)-246-4007
This afternoon after visiting a friend in that area, I dropped by Amato's and ordered 2 Philly Cheesesteaks and one plain steak...all with the works.. peppers, onions, etc. $7.20 for a 7". I brought the sandwiches home to eat.
The roll was a bit soft, but maybe from the 40 minute drive home. I was disapointed in the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and needless to say, I have tasted better at county fairs. I just can't understand what everybody is saying about this place (Yelp, etc.). I rate the sandwich between somewhat okay and good. Everything was 'slopped' together. I find that the very best cheesteaks made are those that cook the steak, put the cheese on top...but do not mix it in and then place the steak, etc., in the roll and pile on separately (cooked) peppers and onions, That way you preserve the individual taste of each item on the roll. The cheesesteaks at Cheesesteak Shops are better than the one's we had at Amato's today.
A few year's ago I had a Philly Cheesesteak from Pudge's Steaks in Blue Bell, PA and that was totally delicious. You can read what I have to say about this place. Best I ever had. Check out Yelp's reviews on this place and many people will swear that is the best they ever had also. Many years ago, there was a sandwich shop at the Farmer's Market in L.A. that served up cheesesteaks similar to Pudge's, but they moved out many years ago. Whenever I was in the L.A. area, we would detour over there for their Philly Cheesesteaks. Read more about Philly Cheesesteaks
