At Captain Harvey’s Express, the “Captain sinks the competition” when it comes to their cheesesteaks.  An old Dundalk favorite has now made a new home in Overlea, Md.  and with delivery, the local residents have even more reason to enjoy a cheesesteak from Captain Harvey’s.  It is hard to decide between Captain Harvey’s shrimp cheesesteak and chicken cheesesteak but on Tuesdays try both.  Every Tuesday, buy two 6-inch cheesesteaks for the price of one.  Captain Harvey’s also runs a daily Monday through Friday lunch special of a 6-inch cheesesteak, French fries and a 20 oz. drink.

    whats wrong with a plain steak or hamburger? i for one hates cheese

  • Skip

    While I agree with the above that these are good places to find a cheese steak you need to try The Landing Strip in Middle River, 3030 Eastern Blvd and The Hard Yacht Cafe on Bear Creek in Dundalk. They deserve mention as the best.

  • DR

    Magerk’s is the absolute best in baltimore. Kind of a hassle getting to Federal Hill, but there is really none better. I was at Tony Luke’s in Philly earlier this week and it did not even compare.
