So I am pleased to announce I am back to being a fan of this location again. Â Trying to decide on a quick lunch I figured it had been a month so lets give it a shot. Â That and Mom was wanting to try it.
I called and placed an order. Â On the second ring the phone was answered. Â Guess the phone situation has been fixed (1Star)
I made my order, large regular with Extra Onions. Â 10-15 for pickup, yep that's normal. Â
Pulled into the parking lot as I was only like 6 blocks away when I ordered and waited a bit before going in. Â
A nice young lady was in the window at the grill and immediately told me she would be right with me. (1Star) I let her know I was picking up and order and it appears she was just finishing it up. Â Good timing on my part I guess.
She had it bagged up in a jiffy and came out so I could pay, she was plesant and quickly rang me up. Â I could tell immediately upon lifting the bag that it was quite possibly back to the quality I had been used to. Â You can tell how much meat is in most sandwhiches just by lifting them, even in the bag site unseen. Â This was a bag with a bit of weight to it. Â Now we are getting somewhere!
I came home and quickly unwrapped it to see if I was right. Â I live close enough that it was stll pipping hot when I unwrapped it. Â I was very excited to see that the quality that I had loved had returned to my beloved cheesesteak. Â
I could see the extra oinions waiving to me from beneith the foil as I lifted it. There was a little steam even and I could see that juicy steak goodness on the wrapping. Â This was again a sandwhich that would make you do the "Hunch". Â (2Stars)
For those who don't know what that is. Â It's when it's got so much juice in it from the meat and things that you have to hunch over with your elbows high to eat it. Â This "hunch" keeps the juice from running down your arms. Â
This made me again a happy cheesesteak eatin girl. Â This is the closest thing you can get in my opionion to the streets that made this sandwhich famous. Â I have tried several others around town and I am always open to suggestion, but for me this is it.
Drastic change from a year ago, for the better! Cheesesteaks aren't nearly as greasy and neither is the store. I mean, a real cheesesteak is supposed to be greasy, but not to the point that it totally makes the roll turn into a pudding-like substance. Used to be the case here but alas, no more! Right on point now. And the floor used to be like an ice skating rink; the whole establishment reeked of grease to the point you felt the urge to shower upon leaving but they have really changed a lot of the downfalls! I was impressed! And we love that they put a sliver of foil over just the top of the sandwich to keep everything in place! Can't speak on the Italian sausage as the one time I got it half of it was burned beyond edibility and had to be tossed but it did smell and look tasty! The green chile cheesesteak is my favorite; just enough kick and perfect ratio of chile to meat to cheese.
Review Source:We were really tired last night and not in the mood to cook or the regular pizza/Chinese delivery options. My husband recommended this place and our order arrived 30 minutes later. Dinner fast and under $20 for two people is a nice option when you have had a long day and just want to relax.
I am not a cheese steak fan but was happy to see many different choices from their online menu. My husband had the Pizza Philly and I had the Parmesan Chicken and some potato salad.
My sandwich was really tasty; thin cut chicken, marinara sauce, parmesan and provolone cheese. The roll it is served on is nice and soft. The potato salad was ok, mayonnaise based with lots of dill it was just too much dressing in comparison to potato.
Overall, Taste of Philly is a good option for delivery food in Aurora, when you are not in the mood for pizza. On a side note I calorie count and I really appreciate that they offer their nutrition information online.
Great greasy cheesestakes and they should be for that price! you pay for everything here. Every man that has taken my order seemed a bit rude eventhough I tip on carry out for decent service. One time I ordered the Rueben, the rolled it up as though it were a cheesesteak....Delivery can be very slow....
Review Source:I have to admit I wasn't expecting much from a fast food Philly cheese steak place. Â It is definitely a no frills type spot. Â A few tables and chairs, counter service and smells of meat and onions fill the air. Â
They have a variety of cheese steaks to choose from, but on my first go in I went original - steak, onions and cheese on a roll. Â I didn't eat it there. Â I actually took it home - which is about a 10m drive. Â I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the bread held up. It wasn't soggy at all and had the perfect amount of chewiness to it! I loved the meat - it was seasoned perfectly and well chopped. Â The onions were caramelized nicely and the cheese was gooey (although I will get extra next time). Â
All in all for $5.49 for a 8" sandwich it rocked! Â I will be back. Â I love cheese steaks and there is one with green chilies calling my name!
Went here the other day with a hankering for a Cheesesteak. All I have to say is that you could make better at home.
Soggy bread, greasy meat that taste like something out of a costco container, and cheese was almost decent. If you are looking for a cheesesteak, make the trip to Pats on Iliff and Quebec.
I love Taste of Philly. Â I have been going to this location since I found out about it last year, and they haven't disappointed me. Â My son loves it as well, and even wanted his last birthday there.
I read a couple of the past reviews, and noticed some said the people who worked there were less than desirable, but I have had pretty decent experiences. Â Today I was there, and they were all super friendly.
The food came out fast and correct (we ordered ours with no onions). Â It was nice and hot, and wonderfully tasty. Â The steaks were chopped to perfection, and the cheese was melted almost to invisibility, but I like that... it is almost evenly distributed through the cheesesteak then, and I think that makes it fabulous. Â I LOVE the bread they use, too! Â The only complaint I could possibly have would be that it could use some salt, but that is easily remedied by just adding salt myself, and for people who don't like salt, this would probably be a good thing!
Taste of Philly is one of the best cheesesteak places in the metro area!
I was in super lazy mode last night and was not in the mood to cook. Â I swear I had a menu for this place, but I couldn't find it! Â I called the restaurant and asked if they had a menu on line? Â The man on the phone was very helpful and polite. Â He gave me the link and I told him I'd call back.
The menu has a coupon for a $6.99 12" philly! Â Score! Â I called them right back and ordered a mushroom philly with extra cheese and a can of Coke. Â I barely hit the $10 minimum for delivery by about a quarter ;) Â I was told on the phone that you never have to present the coupons on line. Â You just need to tell them over the phone and you can use them over and over again.... SCORE!
I was told it would be about 45-50 minutes. Â My food showed up in 30 minutes. Â Yet another score! Â When I brought the bag downstairs, it was super soggy and dripping... ewww. Â The paper around my sandwich was so soggy that it had ripped. Â Either that was some super sloppy meat, or it sat in the bag a real long time before it got to my door. Â It did taste pretty good, but it was missing something. Â I couldn't quite pinpoint it, but it was missing some seasoning.
Anyway, I downed the whole thing. Â I can't believe I did it! Â Slightly mad at myself this morning for eating that much last night, but it was a good end to a lazy Sunday. Â Overall, a strong 3 stars. Â I would have given it 4, but the under seasoned meat and the sandwich being so soggy that part of the bread was ruined and the paper wrapping was falling off (it also made a mess of my coffee table). Â I will totally order from this place again in hope of a less soggy sandwich next time.
I wanted to review this place on Saturday night, after I devoured two 8" subs, but I couldn't figure out how to start. After a few days of digestion i'm now ready to put Taste of Philly into perspective.
First off the sandwiches were great. Much like my thoughts about Chester's, a little salt would have kicked this thing up a notch or two.
Otherwise very good for what I now know is a chain although I couldn't tell from taking a look around. They certainly did a good job of importing that cluttered, greasy spoon atmosphere. Definitely feels authentic so that's a good thing.
Very busy place on a weekend night so be prepared for a little bit of a wait to order.
No French fries. That really bugged me for some reason. I really felt like fries would have complemented things here well.
I was so excited to see this open up in Aurora. I am pretty picky about cheese steaks since I can't stand onions and I am allergic to mushrooms. So I usually tend to steer clear. This places is pretty good. Sandwiches are pretty greasy, but isn't that the point of a Philly Cheese? One thing I would recommend...stick to what's on the menu. If you ask for modifications, they get it right about 50% of the time. I always double check my sammy before I leave.
The floor is this place is oddly slick, so be careful when you walk in. I'm not sure if it's a waxy floor or if it's just grease everywhere (*gag*). The staff there is kinda grungy...so you have to kind of put it out of your mind when you walk in there. But they are friendly.
Oh and they have Tasty Cakes here. Butterscotch are the best.
I will go back, cause I think it's tasty.
I'm not a philly "fan" by any stretch, but I do love a good sandwich.
My only other points of comparison are cheesesteaks from a local bar near our old house (big, chunky steak cubes adhered into a tube via a surprisingly pliant provolone) and Pat's. Â Taste of Philly handily beats both of them.
Extra points are scored for wrapping only the top of the philly in foil, rather than the whole sandwich. Â The greasy delicious stuff is held in place and the paper wrapping keeps anything that does get by the foil from ruining the rest of the sandwich.
The other two-thirds of the menu (hoagies/grinders and wraps) are delightful as well. Â The Italian is straightforward and, when loaded, uber-tasty. Â The bread is heavy enough to withstand a vinegar and oil onslaught, but still soft enough that I devour every last bit of the sandwich.
And that's probably what I like most about this place - it doesn't screw around with a formula that works. Â I call ahead because it can take a bit to get the order made (and I know this will sound weird to most) and because I don't have any trouble understanding the guys who answer the phone. Â It's easy, fast and, best of all, reliably delicious.
I am not sure why many reviewers say that the quantity of meat on a ToP Philly is inadequate. Â I have eaten at all the cheesesteak places in the area and ToP puts more meat on than the others do. Â It is a much better sandwich than the one at South Philly. Â Their sandwich is much drier. Â My biggest complaint is that this location is filthy and the employees have a very low standard for personal hygiene.
Review Source:I visited here for lunch a couple of weeks ago. Â This review is strictly for the Philly cheese steaks served here. Â It's a nice, clean shop, with good service, a good selection of sandwiches, and reasonable prices. Â I'm not knocking the shop in general.
The amount of grilled steak in the sandwich was a little light, compared to my favorite sandwich shops (Denver Ted's, Pat's and Lenny's).  It was dry and less flavorful by comparison.  The onions weren't grilled.  Onions in a proper cheese steak are thinly sliced and sautéed 'til they're soft and slightly brown before they get mixed into the beef.  These were chopped and still crunchy.  Also, there wasn't nearly enough provolone on it.  I know it was there, because I could see bits if it here and there, but I couldn't taste it.  Probably overpowered by the nearly raw onions.
I'll give it another try the next time I'm in that part of town, but not for the cheese steak. Â Maybe they'll do better with an Italian hoagie.
The ToP is fast. The mushroom Philly, with chips and a canned tea w/tip was $12+. The place was bustling for a Saturday, and the customer service was pleasant. I don't think I would sit and stay, but the delivery menu was convenient. Extra sides cost $.35 more, and they skimmed on the mushrooms and cheese.
Its nice to have this alternative style philly joint that delievers and has a range of sandwiches, phillies, and a choice of a variety of sides and drinks!
