Oak Cliff restaurant has one of the nation's best cheesesteaks, 'Men's Journal' says

If you want to eat a great cheesesteak, you'll probably head to Philly. If you're in Texas, though, Men's Journal says you should head to Oak Cliff.

Cheesesteak House in Oak Cliff is a simple, order-at-the-counter place.

Cheesesteak House was named one of the Journal's 10 best cheesesteaks not in Philadelphia. It's up there with big-name cheesesteak shops like Pittsburgh institution Primanti Bros.

Let's pause one sec and just reflect: There aren't that many places to get cheesesteaks in Dallas-Fort Worth. And it would be impossible to know the very best cheesesteak restaurants in the country until someone had eaten at every single one. But put that aside: Cheesesteak House in Dallas is certainly beloved, if its 4-and-a-half stars on Yelp, 167 reviews are an indication. (And that's up to whether you think Yelp is a good source for restaurant recommendations.)

For their Cheesy Cheesesteak, Cheesesteak House skips the Cheez Whiz -- gasp! -- and goes full Tex-Mex by slathering its beef sammies with queso. Yes, queso! Our dining critic Leslie Brenner doesn't like queso. But that's another story entirely.
