  • Where this Straight From Philly is located has been many other places in the past. Nothing seems to last too long. Will they suffer the same fate? Who could say? Only time will tell that tale. I can only tell you my story. I came in on Thursday afternoon for lunch. There was one customer leaving when I arrived. I was the only person eating there. I noticed maybe two drive-thru customers. During my time in-store. I ordered a cheese steak with onions, peppers, mushroom and cheese whiz. To me that is the ultimate Philly. Traditional to me and has all of my favorites in one sandwich. It came out quickly much to my happy surprise. Other Philly places have taken so very long. But like I mentioned, it wasn't busy. The sandwich was HOT! Hard to pick up even. So imagine that first bite with the molten yellow-orange cheese oozing everywhere. It was almost hard to eat but I had to keep going. Its so much better hot. I made a total mess with every bite. I wished I had a fork to scoop of the goodness but I settled for my fingers. Hell, there was nobody there to judge me anyhow. It was a craveable sandwich complete with salty and savory flavors all through the hoagie roll which was actually a little soft for my liking. I didn't want to let any of that go to waste. The sandwich was $10. A little on the pricey side but not really unreasonable. It was a good sandwich in terms of flavor. Perhaps not the best or even biggest Philly I've had but solid. There is a lot they are doing right in this place down to the complimentary apples by the register. One per customer, please. There are a couple of things which irritate me though. The older gentleman, for example, who spent more time outside smoking than actually in ths store helping to cook. I suppose when its quiet he can afford to leave the store behind for a bit. I just don't like it. Another pet peeve, as I drove back to work I passed by another Philly Cheese Steak place not too far away. Less than a block before I passed by that store I saw a man with a large sign telling me to turn around and go to Straight From Philly. I don't disagree with advertising but to be so blatant so close to a "rival" seems unnecessary. I admit, it made me chuckle but I don't like it. Will that dissuade me from going to either? Not likely. I have been to both places and I happen to like both places. But they are different and respectible in their own right offering a different experience and atmosphere. I will go to each in the future depending on my situation and time frame. No need to resort to childish games. Ok, I'll get off my high horse now. Enjoy a sandwich wherever you choose to go. You can't go wrong with a Philly Cheese Steak.
