Charleys Cheesesteaks, the Columbus, Ohio-based quick-service restaurant, announced the return of two of its in-demand menu items, the 'Old School Cheesesteak' and 'Old School Fries.'
The Old School Cheesesteak places its emphasis on the traditional cheesesteak formula, that is to say that it includes steak, melted cheese, and sauteed onions. Additional ingredients include the option of substituting chicken instead of steak, or adding an additional hot pepper relish, adding a spicy twist on the classic sandwich. On top of this, customers are eligible to add either extra steak or extra cheese with each order.
The Old School Fries is a large plate-style order of fries topped with chopped steak, melted cheese, and sauteed onions, essentially the same ingredients list as the cheesesteak sandwich. Customers who order the Old School Fries also have the option of adding extra steak, extra cheese, or a hot pepper relish.
