Food: superbService: friendly and quickAmbiance: casualBeen here a few times now and every single time it never disappoints. I enjoy the classic steak, no onions with provolone cheese and a basket of hand cut fries! We've also tried the buffalo wings once and we were impressed. Totally recommend all that we ate so far: classic steak with provolone, hand cut fries and buffalo wings.Fountain drinks and craft/local beer are available for purchase. Will be back for more yumminess!

I've heard great things about this place and I was not let down. Packed with flavor, steak, and cheese, these sandwiches are delicious. I ordered the cheesesteak hoagie with cheese whiz. While yummy, I was extremely thirsty after (beware - high sodium content). The price came out to around $20 per 12" sandwich which is a bit on the pricier side, but just half can easily fill you up. We were recommended any of the cheesesteaks by the employee inside, who was super blunt but overall nice. Once you choose your sandwich, you can choose your cheese - the three options include: cheese whiz, provolone, and white American. The inside is clean with Philly decorations everywhere and at each table, they provide seasoning and sauces if you decide to dine in.

Friendly staff, Philly vibe with all the sports photos and banners. $27 for a large sandwich and large fries... but easily enough to satisfy two adults. They offer three cheese types, I opted for the cheese whiz, which IMO adds a touch too much salt. But, I enjoyed. Fresh cut fries were fabulous.

We ordered takeout from The Philly Special on a Monday night. I love that you can submit your order online, saving time not having to sit in the restaurant waiting for food and avoiding having to call in an order. Made ordering takeout super easy!The food was good. Pickle fries were our favorite thing we ordered. They were French fry sized pickle slices, so the ratio of pickle to fried outer layer was spot on.The Philly cheesesteaks were good, although, my husband thought it was maybe a little too salty (it wasn't overpowering for me, though). If you're craving a classic Philly, then I would definitely recommend supporting this family owned business!

We finally stopped in here for lunch and were greeted right away. There are several different Philly's on the menu and I plan to try more of them. The sandwiches are big and come with a fork for a good reason! You won't go home hungry. A friend from Philly says this is the most authentic version she's had outside the sandwich's home city AND the shop flies in Amarosa buns. There are at least 10 tables plus some elevated seating at the window, so if call ahead if you are going with a big group.

Legit. We had their sandwiches a few times and all are excellent! The owner is super nice. Love how the whole shop is all about Philly! :) esp the decode of Philly slangs.

As an east coaster I LOVE that this place has all the jersey gems from cheesesteak to tasty cakes. And even better that this owner has decided to also cater to vegetarians. I really appreciate places like this! We got buffalo cauliflower, crabby fries, two cheesesteaks (one veg and one regular) and then my husband also got a smash burger! Everything was delicious and the hoagie buns for the cheesesteaks were perfectly chewy! We will definitely be back! Two tips - please come on DoorDash so we can order more! Tip two swap out beyond for impossible. It doesn't have the aftertaste like beyond.

While in the area for a short visit, we noticed this place nearby and decided to stop in and are glad we did! My wife having gone to college and lived in Philadelphia enjoyed the local nods, including the references to "jawns" and "wooder".The sandwiches are really good-cheesesteak hoagie in particular. My wife had hers with Cheez Whiz ("wit") while I had mine with white American cheese. Side of fries was gigantic, which made the $4.99 add on of fries and a fountain drink a good deal for the amount of food.

Best Philly cheesesteak ever! Owners are from Philly, so it's authentic. We drive an hour for lunch there. Outstanding.
