Bridgeport Rib House:A"Ribby"Cheesesteak That Holds Its Own

Bridgeport Rib House(1049 Ford St,Bridgeport,PA), affectionately known as "The Ribby," might be best known for its ribs, but their cheesesteak is proving to be a serious contender. After initially seeding The Ribby in March Cheesesteak Madness with some cautious optimism, this return visit solidified its place as a worthy cheesesteak destination.

The Ribby Experience: Bridgeport Rib House offers more than just food; it's a community hub. My visit on a Monday night found a lively, multi-generational crowd enjoying free bingo, adding to the fun and welcoming atmosphere.

The Cheesesteak Breakdown:

  • The Roll: The cheesesteak comes on a "bready," non-seeded roll. While I usually prefer a seeded roll, in this case, the breadiness was a positive.It provided the necessary structure to contain the remarkably juicy steak.
  • The Meat: The star of the show here is the juicinessof the meat.This is a cheesesteak that's bursting with flavor and moisture.
  • The Cheese: A "great cheese melt" indicates proper preparation and a generous application of cheese. The review doesn't specify the type of cheese,but a good melt is essential for a satisfying cheesesteak.
  • The Onions: The fried onions added a "very good flavor," contributing to the overall balance of the sandwich.
  • The Chips: A side of chips is included, and the reviewer notes that they "did a great job balancing the juiciness" of the cheesesteak, providing a welcome textural contrast.

A Cheesesteak That Surprises:

My initial cautious optimism about The Ribby's cheesesteak was well-founded. This is a sandwich that delivers on flavor and texture. The juicy meat, the well-melted cheese, the flavorful onions, and the surprisingly effective bready roll all combine to create a very enjoyable cheesesteak experience. It's a testament to the fact that sometimes,the best cheesesteaks can be found in unexpected places.My earlier visit was clouded by laughter and beer.

Overall:

Bridgeport Rib House's cheesesteak is a pleasant surprise. It's a juicy,flavorful,and well-constructed sandwich that stands up to the competition.The lively atmosphere and friendly crowd add to the overall experience,making The Ribby a worthwhile destination for cheesesteak lovers and anyone seeking a fun,casual dining experience.
