The individual components were great; the combination was only so-so.

My aunt dated a guy from PA and introduced us to this salad. We dont sautee the veggies when we make it and we add whatever else we want in the salad and top with either Ranch or Cesar dressing.. O so good!!

I am from Pennsylvania and this salad is on all of the menus. It is a staple in our area and delish. We also have it with grilled chicken or fried fish. Yummo!! You have to have the fries on it too. We don't go to the trouble of sauteing any veggies. Sometimes they put hard boiled egg on too. You must try it!!!

Nothing to write home about. I would probably make it again but it wasn't anything out of this world. I think the meat needed a little more flavor.

Ok, I am from Pennsylvania and I am huge Philadelphia sports fan…and let me just say this salad is awesome! It really is like eating a Philly Cheese Steak without all the guilt. I added some sautéed fresh mushrooms and roasted garlic, and left off the garbanzo beans. In this area, some would also call this a Pittsburgh steak salad…what ever you call it, it is delicious! Believe it or not, the french fries make the salad!

It was okay, didn't necessarily taste bad, but i won't be making it again. It reminded me of someone just mixing a whole meal all together and saying "it's a salad"

A little high in sodium, but it was easy to prepare and my husband and I loved it. Good flavors.

This was a sassy little dish. I came to it with raised eyebrows, but all the textures and flavors worked. You have to be sure your fries are done up nice and crispy, though. And don't let the salad sit before you serve it. Soggy fries are not happy fries. In fact, why don't you just toss a few fries on after you dish up the salad?

Love all of the flavors! I'd leave out the garbanzo beans next time - a bit of a disconnect for me . . . but yummy!

Based on flavor alone, I'd probably give this a 3, meat and cheese, how can you go wrong? The deal breaker here was discovering that the curly frys are *within* rather than *akin* to the dish. As such, rather than the crisp, firm curly fries one might desire, you end up with soggy, limp, mildly tragic objects with a rather unfortunate texture. It's just not right.

I was unsure about the combination of ingredients however, it came together very well. I wouldn't eat this all the time but would serve occasionally.

I liked everything about this salad except for the meat. I'm not all that familiar with different cuts of meat, so maybe this cut is meant to be a little big tough/chewy, but the salad would have been a lot better with a nice tended bite of steak in it.

My husband regarded me dubiously when I presented him with a salad that had curly fries and garbanzo beans in it, however, he was hooked at the first bite! This is a fun, easy recipe that we will definitely have again!
