Among Columbus home offices is Charley’s Grilled Subs. We recently tried one of their locations, on Polaris Parkway in the Polaris Lifestyle Community. Charley’s has over 370 locations, and not just in the United States. They maintain the same vision since the original 1968 Philly CheeseSteak numero uno: “To honor God and strengthen our neighbors. In the spirit of brotherly love, we hope to nourish hearts with the simple pleasure of a great Philly Cheesesteaks”.

Charley’s Grilled Subs has a special niche featuring premium and unique tasting grilled sandwich cooked in front of the customer, and served hot in less than 90 seconds. Every sub is prepared fresh upon order and made from scratch. No pre-grilling or pre-cooking. Fresh bread, quality meats, dairy cheese and fresh vegetables.

Adding to the Grilled Sub menu is their famous fresh squeezed lemonade and gourmet thick-cut french fries. Subs may be ordered from three selections; Steak, Chicken and Deli.

The Steak Subs include Philly Cheesesteaks, Philly Steak Deluxe, Bacon 3Cheese Steak and Triple Cheese Steak. Each comes with steak, grilled onion and provolone. The Chicken Subs are Chicken Bacon Club, Philly Chicken, Chicken Buffalo and Chicken Teriyaki. They all include chicken, bacon and provolone.  The Deli Subs are Turkey Cheddar Melt, Italian Deli Deluxe, Chicken California, Ultimate Club, Philly Ham and Cheese and Philly Veggie. All come with turkey and cheddar.

Gourmet Fries are available in Cheddar, Cheddar and Bacon, Ranch and Bacon, Cheddar, Ranch and Bacon and the Original.

Grilled Salads are Grilled Chicken, Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Buffalo.

Our Philly Steak Deluxe was way above average for a Philly Cheesesteak. We give it five of five Philly ups. Our original lemonade was excellent. Lemonade is available as Original, Raspberry and Kiwi. And the Gourmet Cheddar, Ranch and Bacon Fries were more than enough to fill our appetite.

I’ve had Philly Cheesesteak in Philly, and they have nothing on Columbus’s own Charley’s Grilled Subs.
