No Good

by rdh1079

the service was slooooooow, i dont think the one girl they working was very good at multi-tasking, she would only cook one order at a time, she was really nice though. i got the chicken parm, bad idea, the chicken was incredibaly dry, almost as if it had been refrigerated for several days and re-heated, which i assume is the case, and there was hardly any chicken to speak of anyway, mostly bread. the three people i was with seemed pleased, but they all got cold sandwiches, thats kinda hard to screw up.....

• Pros: manage to make a decent cold, sandwich nice chick cooking
• Cons: slooooow service, overpriced, not enough meat, not fresh

An all around great experience

I have eaten here on several occasions and have always enjoyed myself. I personally love the Chicken Cheese Steak, but the beef is also very good. The staff is always friendly and fast. The phillys are a good size and can only finish half, but that is okay, I eat the other half later. Great job and I will be back for more!

• Pros: Great Staff and Great Food
• Cons: None

Great eats, Great hangout

by Wazzoo

I've been eating at Philadelphia's since it first opened at it's original spot accross the street. The owner is a Philly native. The ingredients are as close as you can get. They go all out to get it right. Bonus, Tastycakes! hard to find them anywhere else.

The cheesesteaks are the bomb, gutbomb that is. I'd eat more of them, but my doctor made me cool it. Good variety of other hoagies. Good beer. Love the Betsy Ross. Service is good. Food is made fresh and cooked to order. Takes a little longer, but worth the wait. You can hangout at your liesure without feeling pressured. Prices are reasonable for what you get, which I find is stuffed.

All in all a great place to stop in, hangout, have a great sandwich and chase it with good beer.

Friends form Philly say it's the real deal. If you have kids, they'll be made to fell comfortable.

• Pros: The cheesesteaks, beer and hangout factor
• Cons: You can get addicted to the cheesesteaks
