👍👍 Went with the whole family to check out the new Philly shop. Did not disappoint! On top of the Phillies being traditional and delicious, every one really loved the pickle fries appetizer. Everything came out quick and hot. Excited to go back People often mention Philly, good,

    Steak is tender, cheese is integrated with the meat, bread is soft but supports the generous filling. Fries have a good crisp to the exterior with a nice soft potato-y interior. Buffalo cauliflower is a good veggie option. Wooder ice has a good flavor to it, we got mango. Great quick service. Feels very authentic, thematic decor. Highly recommend!

    I've visited twice so far and have absolutely loved it. The area has been lacking in good philly cheesesteaks until now. The owners Keith and his other business partner are really kind people. They go out of their way to provide great service and the food is amazing. Everything is made fresh and you can tell by the quality.

    Great lunch! Had the basic cheese steak no onions it was great no grizzle tasty their hand cut fries ordered them well-done they were amazing. The watermelon water ice was also great. The place is a little small just a few tiny tables for dine in. Finally a good tasty lunch. I will definitely be coming back.

    The Philly Special is a great addition to the area. Their Philly steaks are authentic and delicious. It's very hard to find a great cheese steak sandwich in the Chicago area and this place has done it right. The hot pretzel and fries were excellent too. I look forward to returning soon with my friends and family.

    Best Philly Cheesesteak in town hands down! Do not skip this spot- We split the Classic Steak and the Hoagie, the best decision I've made in a long time. These guys are doing it right and worth the trip!

    What was ordered: 1 order of Korean BBQ wings 1 - 8” classic cheesesteak with whiz cheese Wings were juicy and the sauce was reminiscent of Big G’s chiliyaki wing sauce. 10/10 Bread for the Philly was on point. The bread holds it down as it should. It didn’t fall apart. It wasn’t rubbery/chewy. It took care of carrying the weight. I like the bite. It bit off perfectly. The meat also good. The whiz cheese dope af. Sandwich 8 or 8.5/10 Service - Keith was cool af. Super chill guy. He was friendly and helpful. I had my dog in the car with me and he offered to bring my food out to the parking lot so I could walk Mr. T. Would def go back for the food and will be recommending this place to others.
