Cosmo's - Cheese Steak

532 Moosic Street, Scranton, PA 

570.341.5100

For some reason Cosmo's identity as a cheese steak shop seemed to elude me for an embarrassingly long time.  Quickly glancing at the large brick building with massive signs on the second floor and lots of neon lighting, I was under the impression that Cosmo's was either a sports bar or some sort of adult arcade (a la a poor man's Dave and Busters).  

A friend, also from the Philly area, let me know that Cosmo's in fact serves a half decent cheese steak.  He was dead on and since discovering Cosmo's, we have had steaks at least once a month.  On my last trip I went with my usual whiz-with + mushrooms ($7.25).  I like to add a lil ketchup and splash of hot sauce.  

 

The bread is soft, the peppers on the side very spicy, and just the right amount of whiz.  While its not Jim's or John's Roast Pork, its still a very nice sandwich and I recommend if you are looking for a cheese steak in Scranton. 

As always love to hear others thoughts or recommendations for a new place.  Stay hungry NEPA...
