I went today because of the great reviews. I should've known better when there were only 35 reviews that made it more than 4 stars. But I love a good cheesesteak! This is definitely not the place for a good cheesesteak. The steak part tastes like that frozen stuff you get at the grocery store. I had it with their house sauce but I couldn't really taste that because of bad it was overall. I will however say that I saw 2 guys eating the Oreo cake and it looked delicious. read more

Service and food are great pretty much whenever I eat from here. Early or late nights it's good eating. Fish and shrimp was great last night. Give them a try read more

A nice option to Philly Cheesesteak! Chunks of meat! Staff was helpful... A great late night option read more

Bad As Philly - Fat Philly (Chicken) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Colonial Heights, Virginia

I came back to town to visit my family (born and raised here), and this was the worst customer service I've had in the area. I ordered ahead with a 20-minute pickup. When I arrived, my food wasn't ready, and I stood there for over 10 minutes without anyone acknowledging me. Staff could clearly see me through the window by the grill, but they just laughed and talked instead of helping. The food was terrible. I ordered wings with two flavors. The wings were clearly frozen, pre-cooked fried chicken, smothered in sauce. I won't tell people not to try it, but I won't be wasting my money here again. Do better, it's not hard. The interior design was cool tho. read more

I was awed by the epic serving size!!! Other folks tell you about extra meat. Then you're wondering, "Is this actually extra?" The 12" Bad as Philly was soooo EXTRA!!! It probably weighed 2 or so pounds. Trust me. The middle was like three or four inches in diameter from end to end. Yes. They spread those fat ends so wide, so willingly, and filled them with juicy, meaty, moist cheesy goodness !!! read more

Great food and great service. The subs are cooked to order and the fries are too. There are a lot of ordering options. You can order at the counter, you can order at the counter, you can order online. They cook every ticket to order and the food is FRESH!! It's a small space inside, but they move quickly. While you wait, there are so many options on the menu board that will make your mouth water. The prices are very reasonable and you can customize every sandwich. read more

Best Philly in town. Show me a Philly better, I'll wait. Times up! I wish I had 1 right now.

If you blink you will miss this small take out restaurant. You are able to order from a kiosk or online to speed up your service. They do have one table inside but this is a to go order establishment. They make it fresh after you place your order and they have an assortment of food to try on the menu. From wings, burger, seafood, gyros, to cheesesteaks! I order the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with a side of five wings. I also wanted to taste their french fries, which are steak fries, and they are delicious. The wings are extra crispy, with the hint of lemon pepper. The cheesesteak is just a basic cheesesteak, but it taste very good. I will come back and try something else on the menu at a later time. read more

I've had cheesesteaks or Steak & cheeses from coast to coast, including Philly. I was thoroughly disappointed in Philly, but being from the DC area and having a general attitude of F Philly, I understood my bias. I happened to find myself in Colonial Heights VA for work this week and was hungry one late night. I checked for reviews of local places open and found myself here. Yelp usually leads you to the right place, and it didn't disappoint. My sandwich was amazing. The fries were ok/decent but the sandwich was outstanding. Highly recommended. I will be in the area for a few weeks and definitely coming back. read more

Great lunch pick-up spot!! The sandwiches were huge, and I had leftovers for the next day. Wouldn't recommend coming here if you intend to dine-in, though, as they do not have seating or tables. The owner was very hospitable and helped each of us get exactly the sandwich that we wanted. With such a limited selection of local joints in the area outside of base, we are happy that we found this local gem!! read more

Bad As Phillies is an amazing little Philly cheesesteak spot in Colonial Heights, less than 10 minutes from Virginia State University. My daughter tried their wings a few weeks ago and was instantly hooked so since we were in the area, we had to stop in. She ordered the BBQ wings and I ordered the basic "Philly" cheesesteak and boy oh boy, 10/10! The wings were seasoned to the bone and I love that they weren't overly coated with BBQ sauce (the sauce is Sweet Baby Rays). They were fried to golden brown so each bite had a nice crunch and the BBQ sauce added just the right amount of tangy sweetness. The cheesesteak was one of the best I've ever had. It's made with onions and includes mayo and obviously cheese but you can get an array of extra toppings on it as well. I love how they have many other options of cheesesteaks to choose from as well. Friendly Tip: We ordered our food when we got there, which was a Friday around 8pm, and we waited inside; however, the inside isn't very large and the longer we waited the more people showed up so I would order ahead to avoid having to wait in such a smaller area. read more

I am in town for training for a week. Decided to try some local restaurants and different food than we have where I live at. Got on here and found out about this Philly cheesesteak place decided to try it. I placed a to go order over the phone. They picked the phone up after a couple of rings, the ordering process was very easy and smooth. About 10 minutes later I drove over to the restaurant and paid in person. When I got there, the food was done and I was able to leave immediately. The service was quick and great. Now to the food. The cheesy fries were amazing. I love cheese so they had the perfect amount of cheese and also it actually tasted good. I have had cheese fries with the cheese had a weird taste to it, but this was not that. The fries were hot and crispy and I did not even have to ask for them to be. The cheesesteak was pretty good. I ordered the 777 Philly, which is cheesesteak and chicken with onions, mayo, and cheese. I got the 12 inch sandwich and it was more than enough food. They pile on the meat and cheese. You get your money is worth. With that being said it is not even that expensive for all of the food that I got I paid around $20 I believe and that was mainly because I got two drinks. Overall, I would come back and eat there again. There was no inside seating for a person to eat. I can tell they mainly have it as a order to go place and that works fine for them. read more

We ordered some Philly cheesesteaks through DoorDash the other day and they were great! It was our first time trying this place out. It was actually really good and the price is not as bad as some other places in town. The sandwiches were flavorful and a pretty decent size to keep you full. Will definitely order from them again! read more

Ordered delivery and it came piping hot. We both had lamb gyros with grilled onions. The meat was very flavorful, but not much tzaziki on them. Pita was the perfect texture. We also had cheese fries. Nothing special, but the cheese had a good flavor. I would add lettuce next time. I didn't see feta as an option, but they did have blue cheese. read more

They have good soda. Computer that you order from is friendly. And no language barrier.

Honestly I went there with low expectations, but after visiting I would say that it is the best Philly, cheese fries, and wings that I have had from the same restaurant in a long time! read more

It was ok! Food quality doesn't match the prices. Probably would never return. Forgot to take pictures because I couldn't believe that I paid what I paid for it. $36 for Da bomb cheesesteak with cheese fries, and a plain cheesesteak with an eggroll and 2 can sodas. I'm a real foodie who travels all over to eat. read more

Ordered two chicken philly cheese subs with onion and lettuce and fries. Fries were good. My sub had a very very small amount of lettuce and onions and cheese on both subs tasted like cheap square school cheese. Subs had no flavor. Was very disappointed. Daughter didn't even finish her sub. Also ordered cheese sticks and that was horrible also. No dipping sauce comes with it apparently cause we didn't receive any. read more

Delicious every time. Hot and fresh every time. I definitely recommend. Seems like they don't speak a lot of English tho. Just a head up. It's in a tight spot so you might miss it. But you can order online too. read more

GREAT food maybe even better than Max's in Philadelphia. Pat's or any of your Philly heavy weights don't stand a chance

It was late night head back from a party. I used Yelp to find something to eat. Bad Ad Phillies showed up in my search and being from out of town I thought with friends we give it a try. Me and my friends had the steak, chicken and shrimp Philly and boy was it delicious with fries. The menu was extensive. The food was great. The service was prompt. The name of the restaurant is not just a catch phrase! read more

I would give a ZERO rating but was not an option. The man/owner taking order was VERY RUDE and decided not to order from such a business that treats their customers that way. Rather go somewhere else for my order of wings. I am in awe of how a business could treat customers this RUDELY!! Donna Tiller read more

This place is like the real thing. Soft bread, cheesy, and the meat was seasoned just right. These Philly steaks are excellent and you must try them. They are usually busy, so best to order online ahead of time. read more

Decent food but for the price point I would've expected more quantity or a higher quality of food. Service was good, but don't expect to be able to sit down and dine - it's a grab and go type of experience due to the small seating area. Pretty mid tbh read more

For a counter service joint, this was about as good as you can get. Very good cheesesteak - would happily go back.

Great philly cheese called Fat Philly and wings are good too. Did not wait long and call in orders were prompt!

2nd time this week I got a chicken n steak sub so delicious!! Shop Shop with them you won't go wrong

A little disappointing that there was no indoor dining. One small dirty table. Menu was a little finicky. Food was absolutely phenomenal. Nowhere have I been before and seen food look EXACTLY like the picture! Well done to the crew overall. read more

Take out business that appears to get a lot of traffic. Upon entering it looks like they are working out of a storage unit.The Philly cheese steak was fresh and hot but average. The roll was soggy from meat mixture. It also lacked cheese. read more

Awesome folks! From the moment you walk in the vibes are positive and food is good too. We will be back! read more

It is the best in Colonial Heights for fish sandwiches, cheeseburgers, chicken wings, and Phillys. They deliver through DoorDash and GrubHub. Their only weakness is the lack of adequate parking spaces. read more

Best cheesesteaks we've had in a long time. Fresh, hot, and amazing. I had the steak & shrimp, my husband had chicken/steak/shrimp. We added fries too, but took most of the fries home. Bread was so soft and the meat was seasoned perfectly. Seriously a must stop read more

Large portion, reasonable price, fresh tasting fish combo...kind, friendly, fast service...Will be going back to this location to try different options...try 'em, you'll like 'em! Chris C. read more

this place is amazing . the philly is so delicious and loaded with meat and whatever toppings you pick . their cheese fries are so good and so are their wings . they are always busy but get your food out quickly read more

this was terrible. asked for garlic parm boneless got frozen unseasoned balls of chicken. my cheesesteak had mushrooms and onions when i didn't ask for them and it didn't specify that on the menu and to top it off had a bone in lemon pepper and all i got were rubbery unseasoned barely fried wings. Pitiful. read more

The cheesesteak was ok. The meat was a bit tough. Didn't really put extra cheese like I asked. My guy liked the burger.

Overall, very good. I thought the 8" wouldn't be enough but I was wrong. With the fry meal it was a perfect size for a lunch. Would recommend. read more
