Slack's

We wanted to go grab a beer on Friday night and decided to try the new cheesesteak place in Town Brookhaven called Slack's.  It is a native Philadelphia chain that has decided to come to Atlanta.  I had heard some good things from a co-worker and wanted to try it for myself.  It's located right across from the entrance of Costco, near the back of the development.

It was pretty packed and there was a wait when we got there.  The dining area on the inside is pretty small but it's complemented by a nice patio outside.  The weather was too cold to sit outside, so the inside filled up fast.  They have a nice bar, so we decided to grab a drink while we waited and then just decided to eat at the bar.  The TVs were plenty so we could catch any game we wanted.  It was a little dark to snap some pics so I took this off their website.

Beer prices were pretty average (~$5 for a pint of import or craft brews) and it looked like they had specials on some nights (don't really remember, will need to go back to confirm).  For the menu, they had a nice selection of hoagies, cheesesteaks, and deli sandwiches all priced around $6-$10.  I was a little upset with the upcharge on additions ($1 for cheez whiz?  We could have bought a case of cheese whiz from Costco for $1...), but overall the portions somewhat justified the higher prices for the sandwiches.  I went with the cheesesteak which was tasty (never been to philly to try one there so I guess I can't really compare) and we left satisfied.

Overall it was a nice establishment that I would go to again.  I might wait for some warmer weather so I can sit on the patio, though.
