The Philly Special

I've passed by The Philly Special numerous times and finally decided to give it a try yesterday. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly, which set the tone for a great experience. The menu is impressive, offering everything from Philly Steaks and Chicken Wings (boneless options too) to fries and Philly Egg Rolls.I decided to try the Philly Steak Egg Rolls, which came with three rolls and a side of sauce. Oh. My. Goodness. They were amazing! So amazing, in fact, that I went back again today just to order more.As someone who lived in Philadelphia (2nd and Girard) for a while, I can confidently say these are some of the best Philly Steak Egg Rolls I've ever had--totally on par with the quality you'd find in Philly.I'm already planning my next visit! I can't wait to explore more of the menu, and I'm especially looking forward to stopping by on a weekend to enjoy some food while catching a football game. The atmosphere, with its TVs and vibe, adds to the overall great customer experience.As someone new to the area, I'm thrilled to have found a gem like The Philly Special. Keep up the great work--you've gained a loyal customer!

Sandwich was generous with the meat but stingy with the whiz. Mushrooms were $1.75 extra. It's a little bit too much. Couldn't find an onion on my sandwich unfortunately as well. I asked if there was a vig on the card and the girl said yes, so I opted to pay cash. She charged me the 2.5% anyway $17.50 just for the sandwich fries are extra.I got inside seating and outside seating. Lots of Philadelphia stuff for sure. Screaming eagles everywhere.Not sure I'd come back It was the cashiers first day and she messed up several orders while I was waiting there, but I'm willing to give her a chance and waited patiently until it was my turn.

i'm a sucker for philly cheesesteaks and this spot is solid. Got the first thing on the menu can't go wrong with the classic with onions peppers and cheese wizz. Good service and the food came out fresh and ready. Cool arcade section with a nice tv playing trivia. Fries were piping hot and tasted good with whatever fell off sandwich. Would definitely come again with friends. It ain't easy being cheesy

Hands down best Philly I've had! So fresh and delicious! Hubs found this place and we've now been here twice. Easy to find and plenty of parking - they share parking with the surrounding businesses in the plaza. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it's a walk up and order type of place. They do, however bring your food to your table. TV's going with music videos have been on during my 2 visits here - which is pretty awesome because I can't tell ya when I last watched a music video, especially ones from my childhood.OK, back to the food --- both hubs and I ordered the Philly Special which is the standard cheesesteak sandwich. Their standard version comes with Cheese Whiz which I opt for replacing it with Provolone cheese instead. You can also add mushrooms and peppers to yours if you like or remove the standard onions that comes with it.The hoagies that these come on are so freaking soft and fresh! And the taste of the cheesesteak sandwich is AWESOME! They also have wings and other items on the menu, including cheesesteak fries which I haven't tried but they sound delicious.Highly recommend this place!! You won't be disappointed.

I've been looking for a good philly and cheese. This is definitely a top pick in my book. Set in a small strip plaza, easy to get in and out. Walking up, you see some limited outdoor seating. Walking in, it's definitely Phllly themed with all the sports and other memorabilia. So don't be offended if you're a non Philly native...lol. There are TVs running and music playing in the background so it sets a cool vibe.I got the namesake "The Philly Special", which is ribeye and onions with cheese. You can add mushrooms and green peppers and substitute the cheese with other cheeses if you want. Seasoned and grilled well, this Philly definitely delighted the tastebuds. We've been back a couple of times since and I have to say I probably won't get tired of it. Definitely will need to try out some of the other sandwiches and provide an updated review. Everyone looking for a good philly cheese should definitely hit this place up!

Great spot with sit down dining as an option. The owner was really friendly and the cheesesteak was really good. East 5 star rating and I would probably go twice as much if they had sweet peppers. If you like a philly cheesesteak go give them a try.

Great food, great atmosphere. The only problem I have is it being an Eagles mini headquarters as a Dallas Cowboys fan!

I've been interested in this place long before coming as the owner posted on Facebook how they were thinking of opening a shop in Land O Lakes and were seeking input. I happened to comment that I hoped they would put in some good seating. So on our first visit I was pleased to see it was a nice little place, with plenty of seating and even some outside. They have a number of TVs on the wall playing music videos which was nice. Clearly a lot of thought went into the overall décor and not just tossing in cheap tables with a few chairs.The menu has a number of options for cheesesteaks, along with wings, cheesesteak egg rolls, fries and onion rings. No soda fountain, so soft drinks (Coke products) are in a bottle and I was surprised to see they also sell some bottled beer too. Hand spun milkshakes were also on the menu.For out first visit we kept it simple and ordered cheesesteaks, and fries with cheese and a side of white cheese sauce. We dinned in and enjoyed watching the music videos while waiting for our food. Our cheesesteaks arrive nice and hot and we were surprised to see how large they were and jammed packed with meat, oozing cheese and the right amount of onions. Everything was delicious, meat, cheese, onion and bread. The fries are the crinkly type, they were good and the cheese sauce was good, I'm just not a crinkly fry person. The wait staff were excellent! Friendly, clarifying the order, prompt delivery of food and continued to walk the dining area to ensure the place was clean. We will certainly be back and glad they are in town and opened for business. My thanks to the owner for putting in a decent dinning area and serving some great tasting food!! On my next visit I'm thinking of trying out the cheesesteak egg rolls, some wings and onion rings!

We had the garlic Parmesan cheese wings excellent taste. Lots of tvs to watch sports as well

Food is good but can't order over the phone and the prices online are more expensive lol. By the time the lady explained to me why they can't take the phone order she could've already taken it down twice.
