Fat Philly's

Looking for that diamond in the rough, I made an impulse stop at this place. Regrettable decision for sure. Everyone was friendly but the food was not very good at all. The meat was crusty. I have no other way to explain it. Like they had been hanging onto it for a while. It had lots of seasoning, it just wasn't good. The fries, like the meat, tasted old. It's basically a convenience store so my expectations weren't very high, but this place fell well below. To add insult to injury, it's expensive. I paid over $16 for a combo!!My suggestion, skip this place. Drive the few extra miles to Charley's Cheesesteaks where the ingredients are fresh, juicy and flavorful.

I haven't eating from fat philly's in so long they are so good I love the chicken sub it's the best to me and I will be eating there again

Just ordered from here. Lunch for my mother, brother, and self. I got bbq sandwiches, a hot sausage, chili hot dog, wings, fries and steak and cheese. Something someone ordered came with "lemonade." How does the food taste? Mom loves their hot sausages. I'm a fan of bbq sandwiches but found the Cole slaw too sweet and chunky. The hot sauce was concentrated in a single splat on the back end of the sandwich. The taste of the bbq itself is delicious. The bun is also really, really good.The fries taste disgusting. They aren't well seasoned and are flash fried I'm guessing because they have a raw-like crunch as if they're undercooked. They're.just not appetizing. In fact, no one wanted to eat them.The cheese steak isn't anything special in my opinion but I think it depends on how hot and fresh it is when it gets to you. The wings are okay.The "lemonade" has a taste and smell...1. it smells like toilet water. And 2. It tastes like toilet water and what I'm guessing must be urine. The fact that there is ice in the cup is very bizarre. I'm so confused...there's no way no one noticed this. It's as if someone took a ladle to a toilet and put it in a cup with ice and coloring to throw folks off.Establishments need to taste their "drinks" before serving because clearly one of the cooks stirred this with their dirty pissy dick and I'm sick of it to be quite frank.The health department needs to go undercover and investigate these local restaurants because this is just crazy.

Some days a good beef hotdog is needed. This was the day. I called it in asked for grilled onions, chili cheese ketchup and mustard and it was yummy yummy in my tummy!!!! The local hotdog places only serve raw onions. So I was excited when he said yes that he would grill them. I believe it was about $6 or $7. Quick cheap fix to satisfy those midday work cravings.

You want a real tender ribeye cheesesteak with real cheese then this is your place. Every time I've been here the subs have been amazing. I only get the Philly since that's the name of the place. Service is quick for what you are being served a shaved fresh cooked steak and fries. Somehow is faster than Jersey Mikes is beyond me they only have to cook the steak that is already portioned. My gripe with Jersey Mikes is the cut the meat too think and that's not a real Philly. A real Philly has meat in it lol. Plus the store has other things you can buy. Very convenient. So I don't get why people complain the soda machine is out. The dude has a whole store of refrigerators full of drinks lol. That's how you know people get on Yelp just to complain. Ambiance I'm not too crazy on just be safe out there and careful while you in the store is the best advice I can give you.

Highly recommend. Don't be deterred because of the convenience store atmosphere; this was one of the best cheesesteaks I've had in the 757. I ordered a large cheesesteak combo with fries and a drink for about $15. The fries were delicious and crispy with the perfect (good) amount of seasoning to go with a philly. Ordered the sandwich "plain" with just mayo, cheese, onions and the meat. Good portions - lots of meat! The owner seemed like a really passionate guy and was very friendly. Will definitely stop in next time I'm around the area.

I had stopped by for a sub since i was in the area. I had already tried the steak sub and i enjoyed it. So today i was happy to try the chicken cheesesteak. It was about $10 for 12 inches. So i ordered that and 2 8 inch subs. The owner greeted me when i walked in, but he was going off on one of the cooks... I was surprised that he was screaming and that lit in the store, but he was nice to me.. Lol. So it was a little weird at first. They were out of every soda as fountain drinks except 2 flavors. Smh. It took about 8 minutes. So the wait was fine. The subs were hot and fresh!! So i thought... My kids loved their cheesesteaks. I sit in the corner with the stink eye looking at them because my chicken sub was made with canned chicken i think... Lmbo... Canned meat doesn't taste the same. It was seasoned but weird. My brain wasn't grasping that concept. I'll never get it again... I can say the fries were delicious... I'll go back for the cheesesteak most likely and the fries, but thats it...

A+++++++++Visiting from Arizona and Wow, it is the best Philly cheese I ever had. Service was awesome, I believe it was the owner who we talk to and even gives us samples of the food. Thank you for the good food and services. Sorry for not posting's a picture food was too good that I forgot about a picture lol.

Made a special trip during posted business hours to support this small local business, only to be turned away. Closes at 9. It's was 8:05. Open signs illuminating the windows; a well lit menu displayed overhead. Four employees within view. To my dismay, when placing an order I was informed that the "grill is closed" by the young man in charge. Regularly ordered from here a few years ago when I lived in the area. I remember it being good. Must admit that now I'm less inclined to give it another try in the future. Saw three other customers turned away in the time it took to write this review. Someone should let them know that this is how small businesses begin to die--why leave money on the table? Especially when it comes walking in the door on its own? Inconsistent service = inconsistent customers. Eventually the'll stop coming. Such a shame.

Haven't had they're subs in awhile and thought to go get one and noticed the prices went up and service went down,they do make it fast but the flavor has become more bland, I prefer and suggest going to one of the watergates throughout norfolk.
