text: I remember when Charleys Grilled Subs first opened on State back during my earlier college years I remember that when it first opened I was extremely happy because for whatever reason I was in a major Philly cheesesteak phase It was something I would always order at restaurants and even make special trips to the West Towne Mall food court to hit up the Steak Escape I have never even been to Philadelphia and I probably would not know a good cheesesteak from a bad one It did not really matter that is what I yearned for and my wishes were answered when Charleys openednnBack then I went all the time usually getting the regular Philly with fries but basically trying everything on the menu I probably came here at least once a week in between classes or after a session at Memorial Library I would have to say it was my favorite restaurant in Madison at the timennFast forward five years and I am living in Middleton I have not been to Charleys since college but my friends and I need to grab a quick bite before the UW Hockey game I have been basically out of town for the better part of a month and I get the sudden urge to see if Charleys is as good as I remember Short answer yes The Italian Deli sandwich was delicious I skipped the fries as I never was a huge fan and went with a large sandwich Long answer not quite so much It turns out I am not used to eating this type of food anymore and the heartburn became intense around the second period I shared this discomfort with my friend and we both spent the remainder of the night saying Oh there goes the Charleys again
