The cheesesteak at Big Al’s Steaks features thinly sliced beef cooked on a griddle, loaded into a long roll and topped with melted cheese and often onions or peppers.[6] Unlike a steakhouse cut, this dish focuses on the balance between chopped steak, bread, and toppings, evoking a Philadelphia-style sandwich rather than a plated steak.[6] Bites bring together savory, juicy meat with soft bread and gooey cheese, and many orders are substantial enough to serve as a full meal. Visitors frequently mention the cheesesteaks when discussing this spot, indicating that this is the primary way they enjoy steak here.[6]
