Best Cheesesteak in Greensboro? We Tried 15

we are all over Greensboro today trying to find the best cheesesteak in the city now i've had 15 cheesesteaks in Philadelphia so i already know most of these probably aren't going to be true philly cheesesteaks but that doesn't mean they can't be really good steak and cheeses we got a bunch of places to hit a few i've never tried before by the end of this video we're going to rank every one of them and see who actually has the best cheesesteak in Greensboro you know what we do feel me repeat let's go find something tasty to eat so we are at a new place on Battleground called the Butcher Box and we're going to try their steak and cheese out so all this meat looks like they cut it and butcher it in-house this is pretty awesome looking there the cheese is melted on it nice and juicy meat you can see that ribeye let's see if it's any good got the sesame seeds on the bun that is really good being that i've had 15 phillies in Philadelphia it is definitely not a philly cheesesteak but it is a damn good cheesesteak though i'm not the biggest provolone cheese fan like the cheese itself isn't as cheesy as i've wanted on the steak and cheese but that ribeye meat is phenomenal you can see that meat itself it's nice juicy looking that's a good cut of meat it is really good but i just again wouldn't call this like a classic steak and cheese it is delicious though so i think i'm gonna go i'm gonna say eight six like i'd like to have this that ribeye like it's an actual ribeye steak sandwich i was going to try pyramid eats right here and it says that on monday they're from 10 to 10 and it's monday and it's not 10 p.m at night so i don't know what's going on here but this is where monks used to be so i gave them a try i tried to give them a try next up on this cheesesteak tour we are at mario's on windover and this is what they're calling a philly cheesesteak which i am not seeing the philly part to it it is falling all apart i don't know what kind of cheese that is but it's got bell peppers and onions on it i ain't never seen bell peppers on a philly cheese steak. It is hot. It is extremely hot. It is really good. I've never seen bell peppers like I was saying on a Philly cheese steak. The cheese is not all over the place, but it does taste good and you do taste the cheese in the two bites I took. The onions are great. It is definitely the ribeye that comes in the box frozen, which is always good tasting. It's just not the best it could be. The bread is crispy on the ends right here. The flavor is fantastic, but I would not call something a philly that is nothing like an actual philly cheesesteak that's kind of weird to me but overall i would probably give this about a eight four looks good steak and cheese just not the best in the world the bread is awesome solid bread not bad would get again just probably not going to be the best all right i don't know where we're going next i think i'm gonna head over to the international market i found out there's a place called rico's they're supposed to have a good cheesesteak so we're gonna go try there what do you think about this cheesesteak it does remind me of the first time i ever ate a cheesesteak but i would say it's one through 10 it's probably an 8.9 What do you think about the cheesesteak? a 9.8 9.8? You always go high. Good. I will say one last thing I forgot to talk about is the green peppers are a little undercooked. next up, finding the best cheesesteak in Greensboro we are at Home Slice over here off of Friendly Avenue in Guilford College. that was a good cheese pull right there good chunky meat right here looks like that frozen meat again as you get from faros let's give it a bite give it a try oh actually i didn't go over the insides it has green peppers and onions on it green peppers are definitely more cooked here than they were at mario's that is a good sign i don't need raw green peppers on my second cheese the cheese is laid on top and not mixed in look at this gracious oh hot too you can see the steam coming up man i even ordered a slice of cheese completely reviewed it before we even started this one trying to give this time to cool down i think it's piping i mean it tastes like salt and pepper on the steak it looks like a sea pepper like a flake well i pulled it off of the onion i'm not tasting it because that meat by itself looks a little like stickles okay there's salt and pepper on it this is just okay the bread is very pillowy there is not like a crunch to it if you can look inside there it's not very golden in a brown like it's barely toasted this doesn't make a yuck at best i don't want to trash this place but their steak and cheese is not something to write home about i'm probably going to go 5-8 on this guy it's okay jams deli is right across the street so i'm gonna go see if they have one well i know i said i was going to go to jams but of course in my luck they are not just closed on mondays they're close on this one particular monday i happen to be here next up we are here at Cyrus Kabob Shop. I haven't ate here in a long time. They've had to be in this building for a while. And the last time I ate here, it was not in this building. Last time I was in this building, I was here for a Halloween costume contest. It was Cooper's Halloween, which I ended up losing. Got it in second place. I'm kind of disappointed in that. I did Edward Scissorhands. I'll put that up on the screen now. And I also just got it made a robot suit out of vacuum cleaner parts. That's a pretty good steak and cheese. Reminds me of your song. Not the best thing I've ever had but it's pretty decent it's just like an average steak and cheese so far nothing has wowed me with steak and cheese I don't know if I've been ruined by doing the Philly steak and cheese tours but it's kind of tiny too like you got another half but like I've only taken two three bites I think out of this total and I'm looking at like maybe two or three more bites in this whole thing whole half of it is gone I got an oil and vinegar something another on it oh wow there's no meat in there no wonder I was like I'm not tasting the meat I guess and everything there's some mushrooms like for real that's crazy there's just toppings right there and right here in my plate it's nothing but mushrooms and toppings maybe i'm not liking it because there's no meat on that side it was unwrapped the other half oh wow this side's actually cake and mayonnaise maybe i should they cut it not evenly with one part and there's no meat on that side all right round two i'm not gonna say the meat stepped that up let me get of that meat by itself here we'll just like for real there's barely any meat in this thing i got one chunk right here with some cheese let's get that out let's taste the meat by itself it tastes like ribeye meat with no salt or pepper or anything on it yeah so without their mayonnaise it's extremely messy without their mayonnaise and oil and vinegar type flavor there's nothing to it outside of that the bread is average the meat is not seasoned it seems like all the flavor it's in that oil and vinegar that's on the lettuce so without getting a bite of the lettuce there's not a lot of flavor in it i remember really liking this place man this thing is falling apart there's enough mayonnaise to float out of here on it that sucks because i really was hoping this was going to be a good one because i remember eating here in this place being really tasty and today it is not and this is what they're serving for second cheeses they are not up there on the list i'm probably going to go i'm highly disappointed in this one it's not terrible i'm going five four that gets a five four overall let's see where we get ah let's just see where we're going next just to get a look at this table this is all the stuff that was falling off of it like it's it doesn't hold together very well is what i'm getting at next up we are here at Cassans over at Golden Gate Shopping Center there's actually some meat on this one it's all throughout looks like it's just onions lettuce meat i know they put that oil and vinegar with their special blend of seasonings on theirs i've never been a huge fan of this one out of what we We tried so far though, this is by far the best because they've been pretty terrible so far. That's how. Mario's was okay. The seasoning on this is amazing. Like their house blend is always good. If you've ever had like their little salad mix that comes with a lot of their different things that has that oil and vinegar in that seasoning mix, it is really good. They're throwing fries at me. I've always thought their meat is a little weird. And even though I like it finely chopped up like this, it's always had like this, I don't know, some kind of texture to it that I'm not a huge fan of. But it is good out of what we had so far. I think this is why I'm gonna rank this one as high as I do. I'm going 8.2 on this guy. There's nothing wrong with it. I just wish it was more meaty flavored, I guess, is what I'm looking for. Well, the next place we're going, I absolutely will know that it will be the next place. It's right across the street. We're going to Golden Pizzas and Subs. Their french fries, though, are those crunchy looking french fries like I was getting in DC everywhere. There's no salt on them, and they're not as crunchy as they look like it. What did you rank it? 7.7 out of Bud, you ain't even tried yours yet. Thank you, Mimi that was nice of you what do you think? 8.7 out of Mimi, you ranked it at 8.7 and you don't like it now one thing i've always wondered because like i just said this fry doesn't have any seasoning on it, there's like Elizabeth's doesn't put salt on their fries, this place don't put salt on their fries, like what is with these restaurants that deep fry french fries and don't put salt on them Well, I was going to try Golden Pizzas and Subs steak and cheese, but apparently they closed two months ago Next up we are here at Vito's Italian restaurant in Golden Gate Shopping Center After the Golden Pizzas and Subs was closed. This is awesome Can you see the amount of meat on that? Like I finally think I got a steak and cheese in my hand that I'm gonna like. Oh my goodness Let's give this guy a try. Oh my god. That's a good steak and cheese It's about time I found one I like. You see that? the steam, the amount of meat cheese all over it they do they do, do they put the cheese on top i like mine like mixed in a little more but they ain't nothing to fall them over the bread is super crispy, good and flaky on the outside nice and pillowy on the inside the toppings are cooked properly jesus i can't talk today the toppings are cooked properly no raw green peppers in this guy man the grease from the meat is mixing with that cheese and giving that excellent flavor that it gets when it does that i love that i don't want to go too high with the ranking on this one it's because it's been so much better than the rest of half the bar they've all been so mediocre ma'am i'm gonna go it's gonna make it in the nines for sure um one more taste test try that meat by itself that cheese has had enough time to melt it's got down in there on everything look at that steam coming it's hard to hold this it's so warm i think a little more salt and pepper on it when you're cooking it would be about the only thing you can do to make this better. I'm going 9.2. That was good. Mimi says it's 10 out of 10. Man, that's awesome. If you're in this area, you're trying to decide where to go and you've seen the other places I've been, this is a good one. Definitely come here. I know a lot of you have actually said I need to come here and try their pizza too. They only do full pizzas and we don't have time to do that today, but I will be back to try their pizza. Like this place is awesome. And I saw a few of the dishes of other people eating around us and their Italian dishes look amazing. We're at Tony's up at 68 which is a little grill there is not a whole lot of meat on this guy with some onions i found a forum online that basically said that this place had the closest thing to a Philly cheesesteak in Greensboro and i am not believing that by looking at it let's see looks can be deceiving because it is good being there's not a whole lot of meat cheese or onion anything he looked at me like i was crazy too when i told him because like it says philly cheese uh chicken steak on there but it just says cheesesteak i was like so this is like a philly cheesesteak and he was like yeah and i was like i'll take it whiz whiz and he looked at me like it's crazy well obviously you don't know what cheese a philly cheesesteak is so this is nothing like a philly cheesesteak at all and then when i ordered it a whiz whiz he's like just the onions and i was like yeah that's kind of how they serve it it's just cheese and onions but it is really good tasting the bun has definitely got a lot of butter on it i can actually see like you get down in there you can see where he put some i don't know if you can see there but there's butter that they put on it and put it on the grill it's falling apart on me for the amount of food you're getting on the bun for ten dollars i don't think it's really worth the price it is decent tasting though but i would not even come close to saying that this is like a philly cheesesteak i'm going to go probably a seven two yeah seven two on this guy it does taste good next up we are but back at Moe's, it's not looking that meaty either. Like people are being skimpy on the meat these days. There's maybe a lettuce tomato on this guy. I don't know if they have a little bit of salt and pepper or anything like that on it yet. It's all right. It's good. There's nothing to go out your way to get. The edge is crust, like crispy, not crusty. It is a crust. The meat doesn't really have like a charred to it or anything like that, but it just tastes like it's been cooked for a while. The meat by itself has a good flavor to it. It just tastes like a, not a very good quality. Not that it's a bad quality, it's just not like high-end or anything like that. It's about average. I'd probably go, hmm, seven flat. The bread's average, the meat's average. The flavor's a little bit above average, so a good seven for that one. And that'll be all I got to say about mine. Next up for the steak and cheese tour, we're at Fox Oven Grill here on Groomtown Road, just off of High Point Road, or Gay City Boulevard, for me to remember to call it that the steak it's not finely chopped it's kind of like long but it is very thin it's got tomatoes lettuce tomatoes we got green peppers got some caramelized onions on this guy you're not seeing any mushrooms anywhere there it is there it is it's canned mushrooms on this guy let's see what it tastes like that's a lot better than i expected it to taste with what it looked like got a good little crisp on some of the meat it's super thin though I'd say 6.6. Killian's already out the gates with a 6.6. The bread is good and crunchy on the outside and then doughy in the center. It's not a whole lot of bread to it. It is a decent ratio of the items like meat, the cheese, the bread. It's not my favorite bread in the world but it is pretty good. I would not say this is the best one we've had so far but it's decent. It's probably about an average. I would probably go about a seven. I'll probably go seven flat on this guy. It's good enough to come and grab one and go out your way to get one on this side of town if you're not from this side probably not just stick to something you know better on your side of town but if you live on this side of town it's a good place to come grab one not bad so what does mimi rate it well then try it so what do you say 6.3 6.3 out of mimi what did you say Kalia 6.6 next up we're here at palermo on market street get a good look at that guy it seems to be like the same kind of Bread is getting everywhere. Canned mushrooms, some steak on it, some onions. The green peppers do look raw. So let's give this guy a try, see what it tastes like. It's got some mayonnaise on it. It came with chips. I have some kind of seasoning on it. That's got a really interesting flavor. It's actually really good. Its onions are sautéed in something also. Like, that is an interesting flavor. It's got some kind of like, I don't know, like Mediterranean kind of flavor to it. That is really good. I wish the bread was the best. It's like everybody's getting the bread from the same place. probably are. Fresh mushrooms and a better bread and this would be on up there. I like the flavor on it. The meat is super thinly cut and it's got a lot of those thin grilled onions in it. The green peppers that they didn't look cooked. I'm not noticing like a huge raw flavor to them. That's pretty good. That meat is finely chopped up. That's pretty good. I'm going 8.5 on this guy. Not a bad sub. Would come again. Let's figure out where we're going next. This next place is technically not in Greensboro. It's at the Palladium here, right on the outside of Greensboro. It's nice and meaty. Cheese, green peppers, onions. I do not see the mushrooms, but let's give it a try. The bread feels a little stiff. It's got the grittiness on the bottom of it. So for the bread, it's just something about the bread they're using around Greensboro. I'm not digging most of the places we're going to. The steak is well seasoned. Everything about it's great, except for that I just don't like the bread. The meat will keep it from going too far down the bread i'm just not happy with i'm probably going to go with six three on this guy it's all right it's not something to like go seek out but it's not bad if you're here someone in the comments mentioned this Smoky Bones right here did a brisket steak and cheese and unfortunately as you can see the grass is growing up and the doors are boarded shut so there's that won't be trying this place all right we're here at New York Pizza taking a look at their steak and cheese we We got a lot of meat on this guy, the onions, peppers, mushrooms. Look at the nice lettuce and tomato. The bread is a little, got the grain on the bottom. That's got a good crunch to it. It's a pretty solid steak and cheese. I like the bread on this one. I think you could use a little more salt on it, but other than that, it's a solid steak and cheese. I'm gonna go probably about an eight, six on this guy. I love a good steak and cheese. All right, I think next up, we're gonna head over to Elizabeth's Pizza on Lawndale, and that will wrap up our steak and cheese tour, so I'll catch you there. All right, back at Elizabeth's Pizza. Check out this steak and cheese. Nice and meaty. That one has got a lot, a lot of meat on it. That's probably the second closest to, I think that was Vito's we went to. It was real meaty like this. Ooh, let's give this guy a try. Again, it's gonna be the tomatoes, lettuce, onions, peppers, mushrooms. That bread is nice and toasty. That's awesome. You can see where it sat on like a wire when it was baked. It's a nice roll. Hmm, that is good. is salt, like it's actually seasoned properly. Toppings are great. Cheese has got a strong flavor in it. You can see on top of it, it's got a good amount of cheese on top of these guys. But as you can see, there's a lot of cheese right here on top of it. That is a good amount of cheese on top of this thickened cheese. The bread is great. The meat is seasoned properly. The green peppers are fresh. Looking here, the onions are caramelized. Mushrooms are all right. I love your right steak and cheese. I think it's right on par with Vito's, which has been my favorite so far, and this being the last one I'm going to try, I'm going to say this is a tie. I'm going 9-2. I'm pretty sure I rated Vito's 9-2. I'm going to go Elizabeth's on Lawndale and Vito's at Golden Gate Shopping Center. Tied for the number one spot of best cheese steak in Greensboro. You looking for a good one? This is it. If you're looking for a Philly steak, I never found anything close to what I've had in Philly. And if you haven't seen my videos on Philly, I have tried 15 different famous Philly places in Philadelphia. link that video right here wherever it pops up it'll be somewhere here at the top there'll be a card for you to click on to go to that video and we'll catch you in the next one i had a little microphone issue with slices by tony when i was recording this so instead of scrapping this one because it is a really good cheesesteak i wanted to do a voiceover on this one this one ended up being one of the better steak and cheeses of the whole tour right away one of the biggest things that stood out to me was how fresh everything tasted they used fresh mushrooms onions and tri-color bell peppers and i really like that they are using more than just the standard green peppers you see at a lot of places those peppers add a little sweetness a little more flavor and they make the whole sandwich taste fresher overall toppings were cooked really well too nothing was raw nothing was overcooked and everything still had enough texture in it that you could actually tell the vegetables were fresh another thing that really separates this one from a lot of the other places we tried is the bread they make their bread themselves using their homemade pizza dough and that makes a big difference the bread has a nice chew to it it has a little bit of a crisp on the outside and it actually has some flavor of its own instead of just being something to hold everything together. Because it is made from their pizza dough, it gives the sandwich a little bit of a different feel than a traditional cheesesteak roll, but in a good way. The meat itself had really good flavor. There was a good amount of it and the cheese worked really well with the steak and all of these fresh toppings. Nothing really overpowered anything else. You still get the flavor from the meat, you get the cheese, you get the peppers and the mushrooms, and then that homemade bread kind of brings everything together. It was one of those sandwiches that seemed to get better the more I ate it. The first bite was good but once you start getting everything together in the same bite that is where it really starts to work. This is not really what I would call a traditional Philly cheesesteak but as a steak and cheese sandwich this was easily one of the better ones I had on this tour. Fresh toppings, really good bread, good flavor on the meat and everything worked well together. I'm giving Slices by Tony a 9.1 out of 10. That wraps up the cheesesteak tour and based on everything we tried Vito's and Elizabeth's on Lawndale are tied for the number one spot but i forgot about one more place i found another restaurant that i didn't even know did steak and cheeses and since we're already this deep into the tour we might as well give it a try so before i call this thing finished let's head over to dear dad's and see what they got all right we are here at dear dad's trying out their steak and cheese we got green peppers onions mushrooms and some of that ribeye steak meat on it this is a nice big and meaty one let's give this guy a try actually let me show the meat to you like it's not your typical chopped up ribeye it's like actual like steak chunks in this guy that looks pretty awesome that is a big amount of meat that's like eating a rib-eye steak sandwich that is really good the cheese on that's amazing the bread on it's amazing this is a great steak and cheese that right there that's probably going to be about a 9.4 9.5 i'm probably going to 9.5 on that like that's really good come by here and check that out for sure but man this is a great steak and cheese i think the only thing that would make this better if i'm not crazy over the bread it's good bread but it's not the best bread i've ever had for a second piece. Flavorless though for the meat, the vegetables, and everything else on this guy. That is a spot on. It's about as good as it gets other than the bread. The bread's not bad, it's just not my favorite. I forgot to say one thing. I'm going to take the ratings from all of them, add them all up, and put it down in the comments down below. So if you want to know the rankings and the listing of how each one went, it'll be down in the comments right here. So go check that out.
