Philly Dave's

Foods great, Dave and the chef are great, the new building is awesome. Love this place!P.S. try the catfish and the new deserts

What a hidden gem that I stumbled across one night after turning the wrong way out of the grocery store parking lot.I went in and the place was pretty well packed. I think I got the last table. I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak, with all the options on it. Nice and hot and spicy, just the way I like it. Then I ordered some chili cheese fries, and drink. It all came to about $18.93. It was so good, I couldn't stop thinking about it, so a couple days later I came back and got the exact same order. I'll be back. I met Dave, and what a nice guy who's living his retirement years out serving the community some great food, and it seems pretty obvious that everyone else eating there is enjoying it too. Place is pretty lively with customers whether it's 2pm or 7pm.

We finally made it back to Philly's Dave, and let me tell you, this spot is still hitting home runs. The food? Absolutely chef's kiss. The staff? So friendly you'd think they've known you since preschool. And Dave himself? The man is out here personally taking orders like he's hosting a dinner party for the whole city.The Phillies are the real MVPs--loaded, flavorful, and guaranteed to knock you out in the best way possible. These sammiches aren't just meals; they're edible hugs. Grab one, savor every bite, and then do what we all know you're going to do: take a glorious nap. Philly's Dave isn't just a restaurant--it's a love letter to comfort food. Go. Now.

I've been waiting to try this place since it first opened, but wanted to wait until the rush slowed down a bit. Arrived during lunch hour on a Saturday, the place was packed. There were maybe a few tables left to dine in. I ordered to-go, and it took about 15 minutes for the food to come out. You can tell the food was cooked as you order. Both the hubby and I went for the 10" Philly cheesesteak loaded with everything, and it was delicious! I can't remember eating such a memorable sandwich in a while. The sandwich was packed with savory meat. The seasoning was also perfect - not overly salty. I finished everything in one sitting. I didn't realize they serve breakfast, which is next on my list. Will definitely be back!

I was in the mood for a Philly sandwich. I saw online Philly Dave's was a good place to go for a Philly. We went for lunch to check them out. They had a good crowd at lunch with only a few tables left to sit. We ordered at the counter then sat down. Nice diner type restaurant with a help yourself drink station. The drink mix was a little too sweet, but that could just be my taste buds. The food took a while to come to the table. They only had one guy making the food. The food is made to order and like I said they were very busy. If you have a short lunch, you may need to call ahead. The Philly was very good I got the 1/2 Philly with onion rings. I really enjoyed the taste the hot peppers were a great addition. The onion rings were good, I would have liked more but they were still plenty. We enjoyed eating at Philly Dave's look forward to going back.

Not sure what happened to my review. But still love Philly Dave's. We haven't tried brunch yet as we keep going back for cheese steaks.

Quick Note: If you are in a hurry, this might not be the place for you. When we ordered they said it would be about 15 minutes but wound up being closer to 30. This was our first time here and we were quite pleased. The cheese steak, fries, and onion rings were very good. I got my cheese steak with cheese wiz and my husband got his with provolone. Both were very good but I think mine was better.We will be back but will make sure we have plenty of time.

Man, I wanted to like this place. I rated a 2 because I tried something new (chez whiz) which I did not like. That's not their fault. Service: I read the reviews before going and saw a few people speak about them being rude. Unfortunately, I experienced the sharp comments as well. I will say I have an auntie from up North and she comes off as rude a lot but it's just a culture difference. Being a business in the South though you may want to be mindful that a little southern hospitality goes a long way. She asked if I wanted utensils and ketchup. I answered, "Both please." Her response was "Being greedy aren't you?" So yeah. I just laughed because I was shocked. I did a call-in and her personality wasn't right for the phone. Very cold. I didn't have a long wait because I called ahead. Food: No season at all on steak. Peppers and onions seemed frozen or just not fresh at all. It tastes really bad. Couldn't eat half of the bread because it was soggy from grease. Onion rings were okay. No season though, so get a pack of salt. I will say the edible bread was good.

The first time i wanted philly cheesesteaks, i tried calling on the weekend. No answer. Next i drove to the place and found out it was a 45 minute wait for take out. I didn't wait, and decided to go during one of my off day from work for lunch. I'm glad i did. I ended up getting a small philly cheesesteak with a side of onion rings. I got a bunch of stuff added to the cheesesteak along with cheese whiz. Let me tell you, the cheesesteak was so damn delicious. The onion rings were also really good. for the price you pay for the 1/2 philly with side, i think its a really great deal. I'm not sure if the older gentlemen who sits at the cash register is the owner, but he's very pleasant to deal with. I'll definitely be back.

So I saw all the hype on Facebook talking about Philly Dave's that just opened up at the old Stevie's Diner location. Everyone raved about the Philly's and the onion rings. Dave ran the Philly restaurant in Watauga and retired after he sold it a few years ago. We've been there and it's ok. It seems they changed some recipes and hence the reason they aren't packed like this. So Dave has come out of retirement and opened this new location.We stopped in around 6 on a Friday. The line was almost to the door and only a couple of tables open. They've done well redecorating from the previous diner. Thing fancy but looked like new tables and chairs. I really liked how they invested in very visible menus. Makes it so much easier to read. Dave was sitting on a bar stool at the register taking orders. This place was hopping busy. Every two minutes someone walked in for a to go order. We ordered two Philly's with whiz and onion rings. It comes with a fountain drink too. All that for $14. An incredible deal for dinner for two. Especially with this economy. We only waited about 15 minutes for our food. A nice young lady brought allThe meals out to the tables and was walking around checking on everyone. Amazing customer service!Wow !!!! The Philly tasted even better than it looks!! They were piping hot and we even had to let it cool a little bit. It's so messy I had to use a fork. Get the metal fork because it's packed with meat and cheese and that plastic fork won't cut it. Omg it was by far the best Philly I've ever had. The onion rings were legit too!This is my new favorite spot.Oh, they're open for breakfast and lunch. Makes me want to try the breakfast now.
