    $4.25 for this???? Is like a $1 per fry ......jeeeeeezzzz
    Sheddrick W.

    Prices are not well thought out. I will never go back! The staff is spread thin so the friendly courteous service is not present here

    Mushroom philly and mozzarella sticks
    Terence S.

    So, I had the mushroom philly and the mozzarella sticks. The philly was really good. I really enjoyed the bread, it was soft. They list the mozz sticks as spicy, but it's not spicy. The restaurant has a nice ambiance; it does a nice tribute to the city of Philadelphia. The service was good as well.

    Cajun Fries with perfect seasoning
    Jaide A.

    Now let me start by saying how upset I am that Fred's is closed at 8 pm. I'm about to cry because that's how bad I want a Philly from there right now!! THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS!! This was my first time here and O M G ! The Pepper Philly I had today was phenomenal. Outstanding. Magnificent. I added jalapeños and green bell peppers (the jalapeños were missing but oh well, it was still fire). I danced the ENTIRE time I ate. I was humming and thanking God for this delicious meal. I added the Cajun fries at the end and I'm sooooo glad I did! They were soooo good, my co-workers kept tryna steal my fries. They were perfectly seasoned and fresh out the grease. My type of fry! My photos don't do the food justice at all. I placed my order to go and April was so sweet, on the phone and in person. Her name is very fitting because just like the spring, she made me smile. I would come back from the service alone. This business is BLACK OWNED so for those of you who want to support, please do! They deserve it. The actual restaurant was pretty busy during lunch but there was still plenty of seating. I saw so many happy men grubbing, so I knew I hit the mark. I loved all the Philly decorations and I will be back AGAIN for lunch tomorrow since they're closed now I know I'm going to be dreaming about that Philly tonight!

    Decided I wanted a Philly during the weekday and stopped here. It's located off 15th St in Plano and is easily found. They mandate masks upon entering to order. Most of the tables had been put up due to COVID so I'm not sure if dining in was an option. They have a really nice Digital menu that's easy to read. Ordering was easy and the cashier was very courteous. She wore her mask up until another Patron who was an anti masker entered in. I ordered a Broadstreet cheesesteak (6 in) and a side of chips. The wait was quoted 10 mins but I may have waited a good 5. The food was great and my steak was finely chopped. It head the perfect mix of onions and jalapeños. I forgot to add mustard and Mayo but I did when I got home. The restaurant was really cute and had a wall dedicated to Philly and Philly sports, which was a nice touch. They did offer GF dessert choices as well. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because the cooks were not wearing masks and when the anti masker came In basically bashing people for wearing masks, the cashier attempted to appease to her and took off her mask. Again, maybe she wasn't wearing it before but when she took my order she did. If you're going to ask patrons to wear masks and not strictly enforce it to the cooks or customers, the sign shouldn't even be up on the door.

    I really enjoyed the American cuisine here--great food and a nice atmosphere overall…read more I ordered the French onion soup and the Reuben eggrolls. The French onion soup seems to be popular here, and as soon as I saw that buttery-looking pastry puff baked on top, I knew I had to order it! It was definitely hearty, with plenty of onions (which I love). However, it was a bit saltier than I prefer. I do wish there were an option to substitute the onion soup with a chowder, like clam or corn chowder. The Reuben eggrolls were surprisingly good! I'm used to traditional Asian eggrolls, so I really liked this creative twist. The house-smoked pastrami, sauerkraut, and melted Gruyère cheese worked so well together. They tasted amazing with the spicy Russian dipping sauce (which I appreciated wasn't too spicy). It was such a flavorful and memorable dish! I'm glad I gave it a try.

The steak was cooked perfectly has potential to be amazing just needs spices desperately needs some spices . The French fries they covered with paprika but the steak nothing Husband had the French dip , he loved it . He loved the bread said he was able to eat it without having to tear it with his teeth , some hoagies are tough , this wasn't just nice and soft . The meat was tender, not fatty and but held together such as you could dip it without having a giant mass of meat inside the sauce, it was actually in the sandwich you could dip it, eat it, but it was soft enough that you could eat it. Was loud inside and cold. Our waiter was so nice , up until he walked up my husband wanted to leave . Cause people that came in after us were being offered water and no one had said anything to us . I am gluten free, there wasn't much attention given to my food allergy. But I can manage and know how to protect myself. The waiter wrote down my food allergy but didn't seem to pay it any mind Update : see below they said email them I did no response

Even when we weren't sure about which appetizers we wanted she allowed us to split appetizers- a small portion where we got to try the apps. We tried the tenderloin crostini which was delicious. Along with coconut shrimp. The shrimp were ginormous. And the sauces were so good. Our fav was the mango marmalade. The best bread I have ever had in my life!!!! You know how sometimes they bring a roll to the table for the table to share? Not here boyeeeee Each person gets their own roll. I don't even know how to explain this heavenly bread. It truly is the best beard I have ever had before. I would come eat here again JUST FOR THE BREAD. The crab cake is out of this world. Huge jumbo clumps. Also comes with a variety of sauces. The wasabi one was our favorite. You must order the crab cake! My husband got the ribeye rare and said it was the best steak he has had, and he eats a ton of steak. I got their off menu item of carne asada tacos. The meat was sooooo tender. They don't use flank steak they use a tenderloin and it just melts. The mushrooms were Devine. Glad I ordered the carne asada. The adult Mac and cheese was good but just good. Brussels sprouts were good (not the best I have had) but I think I was also just so full by this point. The asparagus is huge!!! Oh the best finisher ever- the peanut butter pie!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!! I'm not even a dessert girl and I couldn't stop eating it. First time me and my husband were fighting over the last bite.
