After spending many summers on the south New Jersey Shore, I came to love the taste and smells of Philadelphia cheesesteak shops and delis. Having been in the restaurant business since I was a teenager, I began thinking about the possibility of bringing this unique and authentic flavor to the Western New York area. As I started making phone calls to friends and family in Philadelphia it became clear to me that a genuine cheesesteak is served on an Amoroso roll; a roll so unique that it became imperative that I import this product directly from Philadelphia. Otherwise, Mac’s cheesesteaks would not be the true cheesesteak that I was striving for. Together with my partner, Matt Hinds, we traveled to Philadelphia to train at one of the most famous cheesesteak restaurants and then we moved forward with the idea and worked out the details necessary to make the restaurant what I dreamt it to be. We’ve strived to create the atmosphere and ambiance of Philadelphia and my hope is when customers walk through the door they feel as though they have stepped off of South St.. in Philly. Whether you are looking at our mural or numerous posters and pictures, you are surrounded by the sites and scenes of the city of brotherly love. I would like to thank all of our customers for their support and encouragement. The biggest compliments I receive are from those of you who have enjoyed one of our cheesesteaks and say that it tastes just like an original. I look forward to seeing and meeting new customers daily and I always appreciate the feedback I receive. Please let us know if you’ve enjoyed your experience or if there is anything else we can do to make it better. Thanks again! Ryan MacNamara
