it's a business' fault that they only have enough money at the time to fix up the interior and the kitchen?


dude .. we are talking $75 to $100 on the HIGH side to cut and clean the fricking parking lot .. if the guy doesn't have this, there's a serious problem there .. you can't be this naive ..

quote:

you assume because they haven't taken care of the outside that they have no pride.


uhhhhh .. i and practically every other person that passes the place is going to think this .. once again, you can't be serious .. if an owner doesn't care about what someone's first impression of their business is, why am i going to assume they are going to give a shite what their food tastes like ?

quote:

i think its sad you can judge a place like that without knowing anything about it


how in the frick are others going to "judge" this place ?? the parking lot is always empty .. the place looks like it is not only closed but condemned and you are going to lecture me about judging the place ?? pass the constructive criticism along to your "friend" instead of licking his arse crack to score a free philly cheese steak sammie ..

quote:

i spoke with the guy face to face. he was genuine and honest. i really have no clue what is your problem with this place, but it really seems you have a personal reason for not liking this place


how am i or anyone else supposed to know/assume that this guy is "genuine" or "honest" when he allows his exterior to look like he does and can't bother to spend the proceeds from five sandwich sales to correct this problem ? i have nothing personal against them, the problem is you are apparently way too close to the situation to look at it objectively .. quit overlooking shite because you get free food there in exhange for shameless plugs for them on here ..

quote:

because i have seen it! on more than one occasion! that's how


once again, how in the frick is the average joe supposed to make this assumption based on his lack of curb appeal ?

quote:

unlike you who makes up shite to flame a restaurant, i have actually gone inside, looked around, and spoke with the staff. something you didn't. but you assume to know everything


bullshite .. i've eaten there twice and was not impressed .. can't you read ?

quote:

sure, because they are lazy. whatever you want to believe


yeah, there are plenty of tireless, hard working business owners in this town letting weeds grow in their parking lots, paint crack on their buildings, and allowing their store front to look closed, you are right ..

if he's been allowed in the kitchen and is not a part owner of this place, the owner is not very professional at all ..

Zombie,

It really wouldn't take that much to spruce up the outside and make the place more presentable. They've been open for awhile now, and this should have already been taken care of IMO.

As for the food, maybe I'm not a good judge of a philly cheese steak, but my lunch buddies and myself didn't see anything special about the bread & meat. We actually thought they were kind of bland tasting.

Dude, I like SOP. But the owner could that 30 minutes a week with a weed eater and do a world of good to the outside of his building.

All it would cost is a couple of bucks of gas.

Pats and genos use the same ingredients as south of Philly. Actually that's not true because sop uses ribeye all the time, while the other two have been know to use different cuts of meat.

I think the owners are nice, I like the food (it's a cheesesteak, nothing fancy), and I know they plan on making the place look nice

No one here knows there personal situation. Including myself. My point of this thread was to let people know that renovations are on the way

Why don't you drive over an ask them if it's so offensive to you. Eat there. Don't eat there. I don't care. If the place looks unkept from the outside but has good food and a clean interior, than I will eat there with no problem.

nah, you just act like a little scalded homo when someone disagrees with you .. i tell you i don't think the place is that good and you crap in your pants .. i point out the obvious about the exterior that pretty much anyone would agree with and you defend it with this "he can't get anyone to show up" bullshite .. grow the frick up and get back with me when your testicles drop .. you're clearly not cut out to be a fricking restaurant critic acting like an injured 11 year old girl ..

you don't know their personal situation yet you seem to know quite a bit about the ingredients and make up of their dishes as well as what everyone else uses .. you are full of shite .. what "personal" situation would preclude a business owner from buying two gallons of gas and weedeating their own parking lot for 30 minutes ?? seriously .. why are you defending this crap .. because you're a fricking whore is why ..

Knowing what they put in their food and knowing their personal, financial situation aren't the same.

Come meet up with me at SOP. I'll buy you a cheesesteak and we can talk about why you are on a mission to attack my credibility and accuse me of accepting free meals for positie reviews.

Also, I'm not the only one in this thread to like SOP. I guess everyone else here got free food as well

i dunno why you want to continually come off like a dumb arse ... quit talking out of both sides of your mouth and eventually some may take your restaurant critiques seriously .. as of right now, you are wishy washy and sensitive ..

I'm coming off like a dumbass? You attck ne by saying I accept free food for positive reviews and thenyiu say I trashed opie's when I clearly gave him a so-so review. Yeah I think so low of opie's. By the way, dishes from the chimes and opie's placed higher than south of Philly in my top 25. But clearly I am so pro SOP and anti opie's. Please stop embarrasing yourself. Your attacks are sad and desperate

Regardless of what I am, I am not a liar. The same cannot be said for you.

the review was positive and negative. you said "i slammed the shite out of Opie". i'm calling you a liar, which you are. are you opie's defender? i am the first person to ever eat there and not be blown away? i doubt it. you are really reaching on your attack as usual.

quote:

then i do and you crawfish like a wishy washy pussy and try this lame play on words crap to cover your arse and attempt to cover your tracks

i never did this. all i said was reead the post. i can't help it that you are just too stupid to realize you posted something that backed up what i said. you gave me ammo. you are awesome at argueing

quote:

you asked me to post the negative review and i did and now you're not man enough to stand behind it ...

i absolutely stand by it. however, its not negative. read the entire post. frick you are stupid i don't know why i'm continuing with this.

quote:

and you want to throw around the word "pathetic" at people ? you really have come off as a whiny arse pussy of late .. seriously ..

and you have come off as a liar. someone who makes up shite to try to prove his point. whatever that might be.

grow up. move on with your life. you have embarrassed yourself so much that i'm glad these posts got anchored

I said, up front I like SOP. But the outside of the building is a disgrace. It doesn't matter to some people, but it does to most. You admit it needs some work by starting the thread.

You then gave some bullshite excuses for why it hasn't been done yet. The bull shite excuses got shot down, and you change your argument.

For the record, there is a difference between a colorful hole in the wall and an unkept building/grounds.
