Dalessandro's Steaks & Hoagies

My Standard. I first went here as a young boy, 20 some years ago. It was my first cheesesteak and defined the standard for all that followed. Nothing on South Street compares. I'd pick up one on the way to the skating rink and after enough ice, I'd pick up one on the way home. Kept me dancing.

Now, I'm in Costa Mesa, California and there is nothing that even resembles a cheesesteak like Dalessandros! It's like what airlines would come up with for a cheesesteak.…

Great steaks. You walk in and you can hear the steak sizzling. The smell just gets your stomache rumbling. Belly up to the counter and get your order in quickly. Wait time is normal unless its packed. I usually go after the lunch crowd so I can take my time.

Rolls are fresh and high quality, steak is salted perfectly. Not too much cheese.

Its a great steak because all the ingredients are top notch, the flavors are right and it doesnt sit in your stomache like a rock when you're done with it.…
