    Visiting Florida for the summer and was recommended to try this place. I’m a big fan of cheesesteaks and this is the king of them all! They do not skimp you on any of the fillings for any of the sandwiches. And you’ll have enough for a second meal. Fiancé got the Blazin Buffalo Chicken and it was phenomenal too. Might as well make it a three course meal because you won’t want to pass on the cheese curds or the cookies. I will be returning every chance I get. Keep up the awesome work!

    Worst 16$ I spent in my life. I ordered a Philly cheese steak, there was very little steak and and damn near two cans of mushrooms, absolute worst sandwich ever.they also charge $1 per topping. If you want to throw away $16 go here.

    Ordered 2 subs and was charged $33 and some change. After it cleared my CC account I found out they went back and charged a $20 tip without my approval. I always take a pic of the CC receipt that I sign and it has zero tip. I always leave a cash tip for tax reasons. Watch your statements because I'm sure this is not the first time that have done it to people. I have tried for over a week to talk to a manager and I keep getting excuses now I think my number is blocked because it always goes to voicemail when I call now. This place is a rip off. We went because it came highly recommended. Never again will I eat there. No one uses gloves while touching food even after touching a register.

    Barely remembered to take a picture of my Philly . I placed an order to go and 10 min later it was ready for a pick up. Perfect timing while I was picking up few groceries. Couldn’t wait to try it as I just moved to Port Charlotte and this place had great reviews. Should I say I was definitely not disappoint?! That’s correct. One of the best Philly cheesesteak i ve ever head in my life..juicy, cheesy, lots of meat, perfect roll..yum ! I shall return for more : )

    Probably my absolute favorite restaurant in Port Charlotte and the ONLY place I'll ever get a cheesesteak. With a decent size menu and quick service, this locally owned restaurant is an absolute gem. Staff is second to none, food is always 10/10 and the atmosphere is great. It's a common stop for date night when we don't want a fancy dinner, we can stop in to split a sandwich and chat with the staff when it's slower. All of my northerner friends say it's absolutely the most authentic cheesesteak they've had in Florida. I'll be back soon for a 12 inch with a side of fried pickles!

    If your from Philly this will feel like home. Stopped in for a craving and was treated to a REAL cheese steak and hubby had the pizza steak. The best ever so far original Philly. They must serve 250 sandwiches a day. Served on Amarosa rolls from PA. A small but mighty sandwich shop. Worth the drive from Venice just to eat there. 😎

    Every time we go here they always get are order wrong..they never ask to fix it so my boyfriend always goes hungry or I have to make him something to eat witch defeats the purpose. Until this time...they got it right..no mushrooms lol! The sandwiches are really great!

    The Blazing Buffalo Chicken was perfect!! Right amount of heat with the Franks hot sauce, and to wash it down with a birch beer made it even better

    We ordered an Italian chicken and a Philly bomb. Both were very tasty and made with fresh ingredients and included a plentiful amount of meat. I enjoyed the chicken and would have ordered it again until i tried the bomb, oh my goodness , best Philly I've ever had and will be my go to sandwich from here on out! Staff was very friendly and even though they were busy my order came up super fast. Washed it down with a birch beer and a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie for dessert.

    There is no dine in for a “Family” of 3. Due to fire regulations. We were handled like garbage. It was our first time there I WAS SO EXCITED AFTER HEARING COUNTLESS THINGS ABOUT HOW AMAZING THIS PLACE WAS. We were completely let down! We were told our 2 adults one 8 year old “very rudely” couldn’t eat together. (( in an empty restaurant)). I honestly don’t know what’s happened here.just get your food to go i guess— $40 for a sandwich and tots. and we were treated like that! Good luck. if you want to eat inside with more then 2 people. It’s amazing how your treated can make even the BEST food leave a bad taste in your mouth.

    First time here & it was so delicious! No other words are needed. Some people also eating there said they were from Philly & that the cheese steaks here were just like home, so I'll also take their word for it!

  • 5/5 Gamal C. 6 months ago on Google
    We had the best experience with food excellent service just like my old city SOUTH PHILLY. If you are looking for the real PHILLY CHEESE STEAK don't waist your time going to the fake places. Thanks again 👍

  • 5/5 Heather C. 6 months ago on Google
    Love!!! My husband's favorite place to eat in PC. He loves the authentic philly sandwich experience with the cheese whiz. I get it with provolone, peppers, onions, and mushrooms, and I love that they will put mine in a bowl.

  • 5/5 Jeff S. 7 months ago on Google
    How did this place exist without me knowing for so long? You need to get one of these philly cheese steaks into your belly as soon as possible!

  • 5/5 Steve M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best cheesesteaks I've had in the state. Loaded with steak and toppings and that cheese - oh that cheese - brings it all together for a scrumptious 12" sandwich. We also had the 8" chicken Philly which was just as good for those who prefer. Sit down or take out. Prompt and friendly family service here. #stevensleavin

    Great food however they sell out fast on Sat so you better get there early. They should be more prepared to serve their customers. Very disappointed! Not to mention they only left a sign on their door, wish they left it on their voicemail instead!

  • 5/5 Debra K. 8 months ago on Google
    The food is excellent! I had the Philly salad and DH had an Italian sub. Delicious and more than we could consume for one meal. Friendly service. Minor complaint: No cup of water… only bottled water?

  • 2/5 Yvonne C. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is fantastic when you can get it. This is the second time tried to get a cheesesteak sub from here and they are either closed or they sold out for the day. They really need to stay opened and have more supplies on hand to handle the customers that want to eat after 7pm especially on the weekend.

    Not great !! From Philadelphia down in Florida working saw this got excited and down hill from that steak roll isn't cut all the way so looks like a lot of meat but sadly few inches on both ends had nothing way to much pepper and salt why did they use oil on it no clue even the worst pizza place in Philadelphia has a better sandwich and it was 22. Dollars for 1 sandwich and fries with a fountain drink hope this helps some people not wroth the stop !!

  • 5/5 Stacy G. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s the real deal!! My only criticism is they didn’t let us know we had to request cheez whiz and it came with provolone. BUT, it was so good we’ll be back to get it authentic “Philly Style” 😊 UPDATE: we’ve been back on several occasions but always forget to get a photo. So here it is. Check this out!! This is how a Philly cheesesteak is made! It’s the bomb. Perfectly chipped beef, peppers and Whiz. Beautiful! You gotta try it!

  • 1/5 WENDY F. 1 year ago on Google
    Online menu prices are not accurate. I expected to pay $43.82 for 3 subs and instead it cost $ 58.82. That’s a $15 difference and expensive. Food was mediocre. Bread was a little soft and soggy, meat texture a little strange but overall pretty good. I would not recommend and will not return. you should fix your online prices. Thank you --

  • 3/5 Mark N. 1 year ago on Google
    Not too bad of a cheesecake of course I've got A little later and I guess they were getting ready to close you know like an hour ahead of time make you wait for your food outside because you can't use their tables Steak was pretty good They really need a better roll.

  • 5/5 M. S. 1 year ago on Google
    A fantastic authentic cheese steak from a small business who've been around for a very long time. Not cheap, but for the quality of ingredients (shipped in from Philly) and the taste... Well worth it!

  • 5/5 David M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best cheesesteaks around, hands down! I've been a regular since finding them two years ago. Food is always consistent and the guys are friendly. Try the Bomb, you won't be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Nolan D. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic cheesesteak sandwich, tastes very much like the real deal. Fast and friendly service plus a lot of good side options. Perfect for take out

  • 3/5 Andy M. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent food, very close to authentic Philly, but their accuracy in order (takeout) needs help. Not the most friendly of staff at times. Suggest, for better ordering accuracy, drop the "onion, mushroom and green pepper" as part of your basic steak sandwich. Think this causes confusion when people order a normal Philly Steak.

  • 5/5 V T. 1 year ago on Google
    Really an excellent sandwich! The service was really nice as well, the young man behind the counter took our leftovers and wrapped them for us to go. Would definitely return.

  • 5/5 Kennneth D. 2 years ago on Google
    I don’t think I’ve ever had a sandwich as good as their Philly cheesesteak. Cooked right in front of you on a flat top. Sandwich was ready by the time I washed my hands. Juicy, cheesy, savory. The bread holds up really well compared to other cheese steaks I’ve had.

  • 1/5 Lily T. 2 years ago on Google
    I stopped to get my husband lunch/dinner since he was at work. I’ve never been here so I wanted to try it since my husband loves steak sandwiches but he doesn’t eat cheese. I ordered. Made sure he understood no cheese. He started cooking and then another girl picked up and finished. I thought I saw her put cheese on the grill but I wasn’t sure if it was my order or not since there were other people ordering. I went to get my drink and he hands me my order. I asked him again, no cheese right?! And he confirmed. Dropped it off to my husband and when he went to eat about 2 hours later, there’s melted cheese everywhere. There’s no phone number to call. I paid $18.00 for a sandwich my husband threw away and a coke.
