    I entered south of Philly for lunch on Saturday.. walking in my friend and I saw that it was extremely busy in the dining room. A swim team and all their families were in the,process of giving their orders. A woman named brooke greeted me and immediately informed me it was going to be a decent wait time. She was very polite so we decided to stay and wait it out (let's face it, in previous experiences its been worth the wait!) Upon the arrival of,our order, which we wanted to eat in however ultimately ended up taking to go, we noticed an Asian man working in the kitchen who was throwing things, slamming things, cursing and at one point even caught an attitude with another customer in front of us and was very dismissive. I have worked in the service industry for upwards of 10 years and i can say I was appalled at his behavior toward others. He radiates negativity. This really put a damper on the entire environment which was why we decided to change to take out. Luckily there are other members of the staff who go above and beyond to make up for any shortcomings due to one person's bad attitude. We spoke with the manager Mary who was more than apologetic about the unfortunate experience. Overall, the food was great as always and the few members of the team who are self-aware and properly trained in handling stressful situations with excellent customer service skills are what keep us coming back. You guys are fantastic!

    Saw pictures of their food posted on Google and thought we'd give them a try. It was really good. Philly cheese was great and their Mac n cheese bites were some of the best I've ever tried. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

    My boyfriend and I went to eat here, and we dined in. He got the chicken bacon ranch philly, half combo, and I got the 4 piece chicken tender combo with ranch dipping sauce. We ordered our food easily, and the person that took our order was prompt, and we sat at a table. It took about 10 minutes for us to get our food, which was shorter than I thought. The food was awesome. The fries were very crispy and went well with ketchup. The chicken tenders were juicy, but the sizes of them were varied which was interesting. The ranch dipping sauce was a little liquidy. But overall, we had a nice time eating here and the food was really good, so I would definitely come back again.

    We get takeout for lunch here 1 to 2 times per week. I Love Wing Wednesdays! The Red Canyon chili is some of the best chili I've ever had- It's perfect with a Grilled Cheese sandwich! Also, very reasonably priced.

    We’re in town for my son’s graduation from Western Carolina University. My son recommended South of Philly for dinner. Being from the Philly area, we were skeptical about ordering a cheesesteak away from the Philadelphia area. But, to our delight, the cheesesteaks were great! They are as close to what you can get in South Philly, but away from the Philly area. I also had a side of wings that were done very well. Juicy, meaty and crispy.

    Every time I pull up the food is fire. Also Dale… 10/10 he is the man. Make sure to come on Wednesday for their wing deals, the medium wings make your tongue tingle, bbq is so sweet and savory. Their original Philly is soo good. Will be coming again soon.

    Always hot fresh food! Love coming here, service is amazing and did I mention the food was good? Super clean dining area, and bathrooms! I will miss it when I’m no longer a student 💜 #GOCATS

    This is a place you come to with friends for the food. My kids loved this place when they were at Western, and we stopped by out of nostalgia while passing through. We shared the chicken, bacon, ranch goodie. It was so good that I am going to make them on family vacation this Summer. My bride had fries (ketchup was hard to find). I had fried pickles. Both were good, though I think they were food service. I would go again.

    The food is very good but the dining experience could be a little better. That place needs some cleaning in the dining room. The condiment bar was a mess the build up of crumbs in the corners of the booths... Kitchen looked clean from what I could see but definitely a takeout place, I wouldn't eat here again unless they sanitize and clean. Did I mention the food was good, what a shame.

    Started with not asking about what cheese I wanted in my Philly cheesesteak so I didn’t get the cheese I wanted. Asked what toppings to which I responded with “all of those” and only got green pepper and onion. Watched my food sit in the to go window for 5-10 minutes before they finally called my name to give it to me. Fries are also soggy but taste pretty damn good.

    This place is the best. Food is absolutely amazing. Not a single thing we didn't like. We will be back!!👍😁😎👌

    I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I am a local and have eaten here many times. Today, I came in and was asked if it was for dine in or carry out and I said dine in. The cashier took my order and then when we went to pay we noticed the price was drastically higher than before. It was $20 for a Philly combo! We stayed anyway. Then after we received our food in a to go box we were told we could not eat in and we had to leave because they were closing soon. Wait, what?!?! You didn't tell me that when I told you it was dine in. And I have worked in restaurants all my life and NEVER have we asked a guest to leave after getting their food. We got a refund and went next door. Never going here again. Terrible customer service. They must not like business.

    Had a classic Philly and some boom boom wings. The boom boom sauce on the Philly was great but I didn’t care too much for the wings. Really good meal and very friendly staff. Thank you Gregory for being helpful and giving me recommendations on my first visit at South of Philly! When I’m back in the area I have to come see y’all again 😊

    I paid $17 for a WHOLE philly steak and cheese sandwich. I asked for no bread and paid for EXTRA MEAT. I thought there was a mistake considering the little amount of meat in the box so I went back and said I paid 3.75 for extra meat? They said ma'am this is with extra meat. If you want a sandwich with something other than bread I suggest you look elsewhere.
