    Me and my friend stopped here quick for lunch. We decided to spit a Philly which was decent but not the best we’ve had, still very good don’t get me wrong. The service was fine, the waiter only took our order and only came back to give us the tab as we finished up (never checked in throughout the meal to see if we needed anything).

    Cute Philly themed spot. Their cheesesteaks are good if you can’t make a trip to get the real deal. I will be back.

    I believe my experience was right and exact 3stars. One I don't like paying for cheese & peppers and onions. Two I give them credit for keeping it Philly yet there's something messed up about it. Let's start with the chicken Philly. I payed about 20 plus dollars for the chicken, it comes on a authentic Philly style role yet the chicken quality is poor. Frozen processed chicken. It would be more authentic to use fresh chicken right out the pack......third, let's get to the steak I have the same issue with this steak it was frozen beef. Philly uses a hood ribeye or 100 percent sirloin steak bloody fresh red meat. I give the steak experience a 3 and I've tried this multiple times. The cheez Wiz is a lil on the aweful side and the meat taste gamey the service isn't the best more of a strickly business type of deal and that's ok sometimes yet I'm not feeling the steak. The fries are bomb...

    Being a Philly native, this is definitely a bar that reminds me of home. Whenever I’m back in the city I’ll catch any game here gladly. Much love to the staff and amazing environment.
