    Exactly.

    I'm pretty sure Casapulla's South and Capriotti's have their rolls trucked down from upstate.

    The water down there is just not hard enough to make rolls like up here and farther north. All you get is a soft roll. Which isn't horrible. Just...not the same.

    Oh... yeah Claymont Steak Shop is GREAT!!!

    Only if you like paying 14 dollars for a large cheesesteak, and another 5.oo for a fry....

    Sorry...
    It's overrated IMHO....

    Even an Amoroso roll doesn't taste the same down here.

    Oh, and if you're up for the drive, Tubby's in Ocean City (a few blocks south of Seacrets) makes an awesome cheesesteak with a great Philly style roll.

    Hell, hitting that place up after a night out at Seacrets was just as much a draw for me when I was living in Pot Nets as going out to the club was.

    I make a greasy, cheese drippy, peppery cheese state that is soooooo good that after one bite you mother would get in the car, drive over the river and through the woods, ring the doorbell and smack her mother when she answered the door!

    It is soooooo good and soooooo fattening that I dare not make it more than 2 times a year

    There used to be a sub shop on North Market st. and the corner of Marsh road.It was named Buster's.They had cheese steaks that bleed grease when you bit into them, they were that good. You had to use two hands to hold it up while you ate it.It was so full of meat. And if you asked for fried onions look out, They just packed it on. Add a little red blood and you were in heaven. They only cost $4.95 for a 10 inch small one. I've been looking around ever since to find one like that but so far none have come close. Maybe Maryland Ave.Sub.

    Mike's is open, but only on weekdays. And they close for a week or so for summer vacations. Mike and his crew still make a great sandwich.

    When Mike left Claymont, so did I! The new owners at Claymont Steaks should be ashamed of their product these days; it is VERY uneven. I've been there 3 days, only one sandwich was decent. I haven't been back since.

    I don't eat cheesesteaks but this girl I work with is a TOTAL foody and she says that Deerhead is the best.

    Re: Best cheesesteak in Delaware

    Don't both the "famous" Philly cheesesteak places use crappy liqui-cheese, like cheez-Whiz? Ick. That's just disgusting.

    I like my cheesesteaks with American cheese. and a little mayo. And a really fresh roll!

    I like the cheesesteaks from:

    Claymont Steak Shop (Claymont loc, never been to the new one)

    KC's Pizza (Old Balt Pike, Newark). I live near there, and I like their food. Their crispy chicken salad is awesome, too.

    Ciao's Pizza (Univ Plaza)

    And, although it's not in DE, but just over the border into PA on Kennett Pike: Mendenhall Cafe and Deli. They're cheesesteaks are very yummy, as are their Mozzarella fries. I work 5 minutes from there. Good stuff.

    Re: Best cheesesteak in Delaware

    the cheeze whiz is part of the experience and it is actually pretty good...

    i had a buffalo chicken cheese steak at ciaos in UP today, it was BANGIN! real good, i was impressed. i have narrowed down the reason i dont like their regular cheese steaks, their ketchup sucks, has a nasty taste. i never ate ketchup there before today, we ordered fries, it was like a light went on in my head....

    You can only make a mistake once. After that it's a choice.

    There is a little place called Franks it is red lion area off of rt71 close to 13 they are cheap, huge steaks. The large subs there can easily feed 2 people and its under $10. They are very cheesy and plenty of meat.

    Another plus for Malin's Market in Newark - besides great cheesesteaks (I used to stop there for food at least one night a week when I was teaching at Delaware), they also sell what is probably the best homemade potato salad in the area. The potatoes aren't overcooked like most.
