Top five Cheesesteaks in Baltimore

Best cheese steak shop in maryland hands down goes undiscovered. Maybe because people dont feel like being harrassed by bums, thugs and deliquents or maybe people just dont realize that there is a diamond in the rough inside of Lexington Market. All are good reasons to admit why you've never eaten a cheese steak from Andy's Best. Ever since my Dad took me on the 20 min. drive from the safety of the county i became a junky for their cheese steaks. It's a little difficult to find in the sea of vendors but once you smell/find it, you'll know you have arrived. These subs are made with freshly sliced ribeye, sweet onions, seasoning and alot of love. You know its good when it's made 20 lbs at a time on the multi decade old grill. Theres something unique about the flavor that just makes the sub amazing. The meat/onion mix is crammed into the fresh sub roll and topped with the usual toppings (LMO for me). First timers i would suggest ordering just a half which comes with a fair amount of fries and a soda. Only true fans will attempt a whole sub with fries. So my advice would be to take the drive, pay to park, fight the crowd and grab yourself a chees steak and head upstairs for a lunch made for the gods.

Just my 2 cents,
Kevin

P.S. who remembers Nick's on washington blvd near martin luther king blvd. 60 years of cheese steaks can out of that joint. Another favorite my father took me to that his father took him to (Mom never came and boy did she not know what she missed). 60 years with the same griddle with 60 years of cheese steak flavor soaked into it. I cried when the original owner sold the business to some fly by night owners. Place was never the same. Even the pictures of the old and new locals were stripped off the walls.
