The Tastiest Cheesesteaks in Tampa

Phila Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (131) • $$

"Phila Deli is our absolute Go-To restaurant on Tierra Verde for authentic Philly Cheese Steaks (and...BONUS...the other food on the menu is really good too). Fun here starts with wonderful service - spearheaded by Aspyn and Parker. Both are very personable and customer-centric! They just do a great job of welcoming you in and taking care of you. Phila Deli's Cheesesteak sets itself apart by using the authentic Amorosa Roll shipped straight in from Philly. Their steak and cheese is a generous serving and yet balanced nicely to enjoy both bun and contents. Couldn't do a review without a shout out on the Hand Cut fries - skin on deliciousness abounds! I've enjoyed the Croque Madame and it too is delicious. So come on in, ask for Aspyn or Parker and get ready for a Cheesesteak worthy of Philly right here in Tierra Verde!"

Philly Phlava

★★★★☆ 3.8 (158) • $

"I'm a South Philly transplant on the hunt for the best Cheesesteak in Tampa Bay and found this place here on Yelp.The place is tiny with just a few tables. But, t looks like they are doing a huge takeout business.I ordered a Cheesesteak with Fried Onions and American Cheese ($8.95) they use Ribeye and it's a decent portion for the size of the roll. The Onions were nicely cooked with a good amount of cheese. The meat was nicely seasoned but a bit chunky. I also ordered a side of Onion Rings ($3.95) it was a nice size order, crispy, plenty hot and not greasy. Their O Ring Sauce was really nice and had a good bite to it!Overall one of the better Cheesesteaks I've had in the Tampa Bay Area. I'll be back, there are a bunch of things on the menu that look really good."

Philly Steak & Wing - Lakeland

★★★★☆ 4.4 (90) • $

"Really great little restaurant... it is order at the counter but the place is quite cute and clean inside and there are plenty of tables to sit and enjoy the meal.Prices are quite amazing for this time. They have daily lunch specials which include fries and a drink for way way less than anywhere without screwing up the food quality.The French fries are freaking delightful. I'm not a huge fry fan but I do love theirs.We have tried the lamb gyro and enjoyed it greatly.The people who work here are great, will carry food to table if needed. Very sweet.All around this is a great little restaurant. I can't wait to go back for their wings!"

"Came in for a cheesesteak sandwich for hubby to go. There was a big number of cars in the parking lot, a good sign, especially since whenever we passed by very few cars were there.Hubby went in to order his sandwich and I stayed in the car, hoping that it would be prepared quickly so that I could be on our way. I noticed other customers obtaining their food orders to go as well. Saturday afternoon must be their busiest time of the week because the parking lot was full.Hubby came out quickly with his sandwich and fries and said after eating it that it was "okay". Not sure if he wants to return or continue his quest for other locations."

"Delicious Fried Rice, closest to NY Chinese food and they had that bomb ice tea.you know the one . I ordered the garlic Parmesan wings, which was seasoned to perfection. Most satisfied and somewhat impressed. Will definitely go back and looking forward to exploring the menu."

Westshore Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.7 (72) • $$

"About 10 months ago, I came to Westshore Pizza on a Sunday evening wanting some pizza slices. I was informed by the worker there that they don't serve individual slices despite there being a menu board displaying daily deals promising 1-2 slices and a drink. Huh. I promptly left.Fast forward to today and there has been a 180 in customer service.The gentleman behind the counter was telling all of their specials including 2 slices of pizza and a fountain soda for only $5! Normally , this would be $7 on other days which is comparable to Taste of NY Pizza which is on the other side of the AMC Highwoods 20 theater.I took the special and they heated the slices while I got my fountain drink.It is Pepsi based so they have Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Dr. Pepper flavors.The pizza slices were roughly the same size as Taste of NY. The cheese/sauce were a bit more robust and the level of "doneness" was 10-15% more which I liked. Sometimes TNY is a bit underdone imo. Now, Westshore and TONY are a bit behind Fratelli's and Eddie/Sam's but for a brief meal is more than enough. Id give it between 7.5-8 /10. (Taste of NY - 7/10).There is dining space and seats for 12-15 people.Unlike TONY, each table doesnt have its own cheese/red pepper shakes and napkin dispensers, but that's a small nitpick.Thankfully for me, they are open Sundays till 9pm.Closed Mondays though.Overall: A solid place for a quick meal."

"The Philly cheesesteak eggrolls are very good as they come with crispy fries. Three to an order for $18 a little on the pricey side, but tasty.Located in the Krate in Wesley Chapel ."

Boulevard Beef & Ale

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (60) • $$

"This was my first time at Boulevard Beef & Ale. The front is small and intimate, with a large table in front and small tables by the bar & barstools. The back room appears ready for large groups, and there are more tables out back by the small parking area. The wait staff was pleasant and accommodating. I had the onion soup and chicken salad. Both were delicious. Compliments to the Chef! My only concern with this venue was the heavy smell of cigarette smoke in the back. I noticed it as I walked in after parking in the back. I noticed it again as I left. I am highly sensitive to any strong odors, especially cigarette smoke. But that's just me. And when I return, I'll look for a parking spot out front to avoid this scent."

"New location opened in Clearwater on gulf to bay between us19 and belcher.I was excited to have a Philly cheesesteak place to break up the monotony of hamburgers and chicken. I finally stopped today when I was alone and nobody else could have an opinion where to go Lol I have to say that I'm a little bit underwhelmed and disappointed.I got the SMALL traditional Philly cheesesteak which still set me back $8 just for the sandwich which based on what I got I felt is a little overpriced.The flavor was ok but I expected better from a place that specializes in these sandwiches. Needed more mayo and fresh bread.Honestly, it wasn't any better than what I've had at Subway and that's pretty bad.I also have to question anybody who owns a cheesesteak place and tries to put lettuce, pickles and tomato on a traditional Philly cheesesteak. Just No! Those things don't belong! Thankfully I was warned and ordered mine without.I most likely won't be returning unless I'm really craving a cheesesteak and it's the easiest option. The rest of the menu outside of sandwiches didn't look good to me personally. This was very disappointing"

Cicala's Pizzeria & Restaurant

"Unassuming place, but their Pizza is the real deal. Perfect ratio of cheese and toppings to crust. Crust is thin, flavorful, and crisp. We ordered a large pie and it was huge. And it was cooked to our preference, well-done. We have been on a search for a NY/NJ style pie in Lakeland and finally found it. Plenty of parking, easy access, seating inside and out. Owner/staff friendly. Added plus...he had NJ roots!Worth a stop. Highly recommended. We plan to patronize frequently!"

"Honestly I'm not too sure why there are so many insanely bad reviews however luckily for me everything about this quick stop here at the end of the day for dinner went off without a hitch!The second I pull up to the drive-thru window with my family we were greeted by one of the nicest sounding people who told us if there was any questions don't be afraid to ask and to take all the time we needed because we were the only ones there at the moment. We all decided to get something different and for me I decided to get the chicken Philly with mozzarella sticks and a Coke Zero.I will say the only thing that I am not a huge fan of about this place is the food tends to go up in price very quickly, with the final total being almost 45 dollars but it was worth it because the food was so fresh and tasteful! My chicken Philly and the perfect amount of melted cheese and everything was insanely hot even by the time we got back to the hotel a few minutes away. The onions and everything were cooked perfectly and the sandwich was made exactly how I wanted to come without mayo. The mozzarella sticks were perfectly melted and the breading was amazingly crispy and the french fries I had a few of were cooked wonderfully!Whoever was working, unfortunately I didn't get his name, was one of the friendliest fast food workers I have met in a very long time! I will definitely be coming back here when I'm in the area and wanting another chicken Philly!"

"Not bad, the fries were a little depressing but the sandwiches had a better portion of sauce than at a mall food court. I was excited to see the standalone restaurant to a classic Mall food court favorite. We ordered two medium sandwiches and a bacon cheese fry. The sandwiches looked very nice with a good portion of meat. The bacon cheese fries were a little underwhelming compared to the fries I have had at various mall locations. There was no music in the restaurant at all. I didn't mind the quiet but it was just silent, save for the hum of machines and the staff coordinating the schedule for next week.The napkin holders were empty and could've been topped off. We saw one team member do a quick walk around the dining room and push in a few chairs but he failed to notice the napkin holders were empty. Not every table had napkin holders either, which was peculiar but maybe I'm just splitting hairs. Overall, the food was quite expensive! It was good, but pricey for what you were getting. A team member brought our tray of food out to us which was nice. The restaurant runs their AC cold so bring a jacket if you get cold quickly!"

Philly Mike’s

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"So I've been working in the area lately and driven by Philly Mike's several times, but never stopped until today. As soon as I walked up, I was greeted with a joyful smile and a very welcoming greeting. I have been craving a good Philly cheesesteak so that's of course what I went for. After speaking with the owner making the Philly cheesesteak I knew I was in for something very special. He took great pride in explaining they only use the finest ingredients and even ship the rolls in From up north. My Philly had onions, peppers and cheese. After having many bad Phillies in the area, it was so great to sink my teeth into an absolutely amazing Philly cheesesteak bursting with flavor. If you're driving down highway 54 and see this food truck immediately stop and order a Philly cheesesteak. You will thank yourself 10 times over. I can't wait to get back and have another!"

"First time here and had a great experience. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was amazing with cheese,, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on side. We had a combo with Cajun seasoning. We also had a chicken sandwich with onions and peppers. The peppers were a little crisps. Super soft bread too."
