I’ve gone there when Frosty Drew was closed and there was a gate that was locked so I couldn’t drive in. Have you had that problem?

Classic bullshit local corruption: guy gets fired for being totally incompetent but gets brought back with a sweet deal as a consultant.

Yet many Americans, even when confronted with their ignorance will wave it off as "well if it could save a life what does it matter?" We are living in a time in American history where a it is considered better to be blatantly wrong with your heart in supposedly the right place than it is to be 100% correct with evidence against a popular narrative.

Fake news! You must be from Harrisburg or some such? Provolone on a cheese steak?? I'd send that shit back and leave.

I keep saying I'm going to try their brunch but then I chicken out because I can't imagine it being good. I'm going to need to try it now.

I'm of the same ilk. Stumbled upon the place while I was working on a project near by and ended up eating there at least 3 times a week for the following month. Learned a little while ago that they do brunch on the weekends. Now it's my favorite brunch spot. No lines or waiting lists for breakfast, and as you said service and food are top notch. And a pitcher full of the best bloody mary I've had in awhile, oh yeah. So many good beers on tap too. They have earned my business and I will keep recommending Craft Burgers and Beer.

They are definitely wise to it now, my dealer matched carmax without any fight when I was buying from them in 2021. Ended up being to my benefit since trade-in and buy transactions lower the taxes paid.

Hop over the border and go to Philly’s in Norwich.

some might buy it from you even if you are nothing buying a car, Grieco did match carmax a couple of years ago when I was going to sell it to them and buy a car from Grieco. Made the process easier doing it at one place.

PA native. The best option is to make your own.
You can and should make a solid, authentic cheesesteak with Provolone. This bullshit that it HAS to have Cheez Whiz needs to stop. The original sandwich didn't even have cheese and was just chopped meat & onions on a hoagie roll and then because everyone wanted cheese on their hoagie, Provolone became the default for a cheesesteak (processed cheeses joined the club later because they're cheap and melt easy). The sandwich existed for 20 years before Cheez Whiz was even a thing.
The real problem is that most places just do it overall wrong. It needs to be greasy. It should secretly contain the sweat of an overworked mildly stoned grill chef. The bread should be slathered with some fat and then lightly toasted on the grill. And don't just get any bread: go to your favorite Italian bakery and get a fresh hoagie roll. Dress it with some freshly fried onions. If you're going this route, look for shaved RIBEYE at the store because fat = flavor.
Here's what actually happens: -restaurant buys bulk shaved steak. Typically 1 of 3 brands (2 of these brands are packed by the same company). -grill chef salts the meat and doesn't use an adequate amount of fat. Sometimes even overcooks it. Either way, the meat is dry as the Sahara by the time they add the cheese -they put it on a cold, flavorless roll -they dress it with sliced raw green peppers and raw OR soggy onions. The green peppers somehow make the sandwich even worse and they miss that lil bit of mmm that frying up the onions provides
Craft in Pawtucket is a solid plan B. I enjoyed the one I had there. It still missed the health code violations that add the bit of Philly nostalgia but it's still a solid sandwich.

Or they just drop a 1-slice thick layer of American against the bread. I've gotten good cheesesteaks in new England from exactly 2 places; 1 in Boston (DaCoopas) and 1 in Worcester (do not remember)

The generic supermarket shaved steak is so gross for a cheesesteak. The ribeye works great.

Nah this isn’t even close to being true. That being said I fully support defending yourself.

I remember when they first opened. The sandwiches were really amazing, but then little things started to change. Bread got really inconsistent, which was a bummer. They wanted to expand too quickly. The Chicken joint was not good at all. Classic mistake of getting too far over your skis.
It's a bummer because the owner was really nice.

I will never not upvote Craft. I literally was just telling my boyfriend yesterday that while I love a number of RI restaurants, Craft is actually my #1 because the quality of food and service is just so consistently solid.
I've been eating there for at least 5 years and have eaten there frequently enough that I SHOULD have at least one mediocre or bad experience (whether food or otherwise) but everything I have eaten has been delicious, the prices are reasonable, and everyone who works there is so pleasant. I think maybe the only negative thing is don't drink the tap water because Pawtucket water is disgusting.

There is also an app called freetv. Pinpoints were you are via GPS and will show you all the local towers and the digital channels they broadcast. Rather than guessing, it helps pick a spot to set it up in your house.
