| - A customer of mine recommended this place to me a couple months back so when a friend and I made plans to meet for lunch I suggested this place. We got there around 11:30 and while it wasn't packed there were definitely more people than I was expecting for a place that had only been open for 30 minutes so far on a Thursday morning. The sign at the door said seat yourself so we did and as we were putting our stuff down a friendly waitress came over and handed us our menus and asked about drinks. We decided to start with waters in order to give us time to peruse the menu for a couple minutes.
Now, personally I feel it would be wrong to go to a place called Philly's and NOT order a cheese steak so I decided to go with the Original Philly which was meat, cheese wiz and grilled onions. My friend decided on a tuna melt and I tried to avoid eye contact for a little bit so she wouldn't see the look of disappointment in my face. I liked that there is a big selection of items you get to choose from for the side dish as well. I went with curly fries and she got onion rings but you could also choose from fruit, steak fries, coleslaw, a salad and a few other things too!
Our food came out pretty quickly and I knew it was gonna be good as soon as I saw the meaty, melty goodness oozing out of it onto the plate. The roll it was on was perfectly toasted, lightly crispy but still soft, the thing was loaded with meat and the meat itself was super flavorful and then of course you can't go wrong with cheese wiz. I'm not even embarrassed to admit I ate the whole thing. I was originally just going to finish half and save the rest for later but it was so good I couldn't resist. The curly fries were great too, nice and crispy with a good flavor. Our waitress was great the whole time too, always smiling when she came up to us, good with keeping our drinks filled and checking to make sure we had everything we needed. My only regret is that I didn't come here sooner.
