Tay’s Cheesesteak

Cheesesteak was really good. The fries were weirdly sweet. It was kinda expensive, too.

I’ll admit bias towards my first encounter with this place as Tay’s Burger Shack about a mile-ish east of here is one of my favorite burgers in the city. I’m very happy to say the new cheesesteak place upholds Tay’s good standing in the city. I was here at noon on a beautiful Saturday and while it wasn’t packed, there was a steady stream of customers. The interior is cute and definitely clean. The employees were typical Tay’s employees - nice, friendly (smiles!), helpful with any questions and best of all, appeared glad that I was there. That means the world to me. The menu is simple. They offer 3 types of cheesesteak sandwiches: Regular Tay’s (with one choice of cheese), Cheesy Tay’s (two cheeses) and the Italian Tay’s with marinara and Parmesan). All sandwiches come in steak or chicken, onions, with a choice of white American or Pepper Jack, and the Cheesy gives you an additional choice of cream cheese or Cheez Whiz (Yo, Philly!). There’s also Reuben or Hot Pastrami sandwiches for $

I checked out Tay's Cheesesteak for the first time today. I ordered the 6" basic Tay's Cheesesteak with fries and a drink. At first I must admit that I was taken back by the $10.00 price for a 6" sandwich with only fried onions, but it was truly made with thinly sliced steak and served in a very good roll (probably Roma). The fries were fresh, hot and seasoned to perfection for my taste so I didn't even need ketchup for them. All in all it was one of the best cheesesteaks that I've had in KC and while not cheap (I dinged them one star for price), you get what you pay for.
