Laspadas, Sanford


I had lunch at this Delaware County, PA-style grill on 46 (in the old Quizno's) across for the 46 food and bar village. I had a bacon cheeseburger for $5 and some cheese fries for $2.25. A drink was $1.70. The burger was fine. They even gave the appearance of being concerned with what temperature it came out at (not a guarantee at some places). The meat was a little "loafy", but, it survived that impediment. The bacon helped. It was a big patty. The fries were great. Well done and loaded with Whiz. Love the stuff. Both were served in paper containers/plastic baskets. No pretensions here. The place looks like a joint. It's not the cleanest and not the nattiest, but, it passes code. It's decorated with Philly team logos on the wall. There is one TV on the wall. It was showing football. They have a few tables (8) on the window side of the structure and the counter and grill are positioned to the back. Their specialty is cheesesteak sandwiches. I found them a little expensive at $9 for a ten inch. That is the medium size. Maybe the quality is that superior, but, I wasn't going to risk it before I had some additional evidence. The last thing my hungover stomach wanted was a bad cheesesteak rotting inside of it and clogging the exit door. They said they had/have a decades old following up north and some other locations around here (at least one on Lee Rd). The staff was gregarious and polite. It's a fine little dive for this type of cuisine. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but, if you crave a taste of your hometown (should it be Philadelphia) or have been indoctrinated into the hysteria by someone for whom it is and you don't have the power of teleportation, this may be a must do for you.
