Philly's Best

Yes, the real deal!  I knew Chicago could do it.  After a few failed orders elsewhere, I found this place. Tastes just like back home, with nice twists like garlic spread rolls.

I like this place- It is nothing fancy, but good quality food at a fair price, the service is great, I always call ahead, and my order is ready when I arrive.

I like the cheesy beef, I'm a fan ..I don't usually order fries ..but I did yesterday, and they are always done, just right. Again, nothing fancy here, When it comes to a beef sandwich, I think this is a better value than other places.

I stopped in this restaurant tonight to try one of their Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches and was pleasantly surprised.  The reason is I'm probably the only 50 year old in the entire city that has never had a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich before.  My preconceived ideas that kept me from trying it all these years was completely wrong I'm happy to say.  

I was afraid that the sandwich would be greasey and have a strong greasey flavor, but thankfully the meat was nice and moist (without being greasey) with excellent flavor.  I can't say it's better than others since I've never had one before, but I can say I wish I'd tried them many years before now after eating here.  That's ok I'll just have to make up for lost time by coming back frequently.  It was very tasty and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

The staff was friendly and made me feel welcome.  I got to sit and chat with Dean the owner for a while and had a nice conversation.  Basically it was just a real good experience.  He asked me for honest input on my thoughts about his establishment and I felt at ease talking with him and I always appreciate it when an owner asks for honest feedback about his establishment.

The decor of the restaurant is not anything to get excited about, but hey it's a sandwich and pizza shop.  I found the clean and not overdone interior to be exactly what I want a sandwich place to be. When I want a good sandwich all I'm looking for is good flavors and a clean environment and that's exactly what I got here.

If I had one suggestion to make to this place is that maybe they should encourage customers to order large sandwiches instead of the regular size.  I got the regular size and it certainly filled me up, but the gluttonous side of me was screaming for more.  Oh well, I'll know better next time and get the large size and that way I can pig out until it hurts.

Overall if you're looking for a good sandwich stop in and try their Philly Cheesesteak sandwich.  It's a winner!
