As the name implies, the product consists of all the usual Philly cheesesteak ingredients \u2014 albeit, sans the onions and with some good old American cheese subbed in for the more traditional Swiss. <\/p>\n<p>Also in the mix is a decent Montreal Au Jus mayonnaise (which I think we can all agree is way better than the kind they make in Quebec City), an ample amount of bacon and, of course, a sizable smattering of the fast food favorite\u2019s beloved \u201cFamous Seasoned Fries,\u201d all wedged inside of a lightly microwaved \u2014 I mean, \u201ctoasted\u201d \u2014 hoagie roll.<\/p>\n<p>This is definitely a fast food novelty that proves the validity of the expression \u201cbig surprises come in small packages.\u201d When I ordered my sub, I was kinda\u2019 disappointed by how small the sandwich was. From end to end, the thing is barely six inches long, but I promise you, there is a LOT of meat, cheese, sauce, and French fry hanging out inside the roll. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Checkers-Fully-Loaded-Fries-Steak-Sub-Closeup.jpeg?resize=600%2C455&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Checkers Fully Loaded Fries Steak Sub Closeup\" title=\"Checkers Fully Loaded Fries Steak Sub Closeup.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"455\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By now, you really don\u2019t need me to tell you how great Checkers\/Rally\u2019s fries are \u2014 even though they end up getting a tad soggy amidst all the other ingredients, they still taste fantastic here. And the steak strands, while perhaps a bit too stringy for some, are nonetheless chewy, juicy, and flavorful. To me, the bacon was good, but not great \u2014 I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s attributable to too much salt, but when all else fails, I\u2019m always the first to blame sodium for everything.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t too enamored by the American cheese, which was practically frapped with my order. And the Au Jus juice \u2014 while a welcome condiment in today\u2019s Sriracha-this\/Boom Boom Sauce-that fast food marketplace \u2014 didn\u2019t strike me as anything truly noteworthy. This sub would have benefitted from having an entirely different sauce in the mix \u2014 a nice mesquite BBQ sauce or tangy honey mustard would\u2019ve been my preferred accoutrements.<\/p>\n<p>While it would\u2019ve been nice to see the fast food chain make this sucker as ingredient heavy as its Philly Cheesesteak Sub forerunner, for just $4 and some change this isn\u2019t a bad little pick-me-up at all. It\u2019s fairly unique and quite filling, and best of all?
