This is a hidden gem on Central in St Pete! Hidden in the sense that there's so many restaurants in the area, you might miss it. Love this place! Great location, good parking, clean, perfect cheesesteak place and a very accommodating owner. We went straight in on standard Philly Cheesesteaks, and gotta say - they were stellar. In fact, I liked the Cheesesteak here better than the one at Delco's, which is rated as one of the very best in the Tampa area. They've got the Philly staples like egg and peppers, as well as burgers and dogs. Great selection of sodas and Italian ice, as well as really nice seating options outdoors. Highly recommend! read more

Let's remember, we're in St. Petersburg, FL... It wasn't the best I've had, but also not the worst. The meal did its job... satisfied my hunger. Very simple and straight to the point Phillies. You select your cheese of choice. Make it a platter for $2 more. I will say the word "platter" is deceptive as it's only a small side of bland fries. Drinks are sold separately. They offer sodas and beers. Awesome customer service despite the lackluster in food. I like the interior diner style decor. There's indoor/outdoor seating. Definitely a place to grab a quick bite before or after downtown shenanigans. read more

My first review of the year...Saturday, Jan. 4 Had some free time and went out for a drive, needed to take care of a few errands. It was closing in on one o'clock and I was getting a bit hungry, needed to go somewhere new for my first review of the year. Had been downtown a few months back and saw this place. I went in and talk to someone behind the counter, she was bragging up the place. Said to myself I need to try it. I had great expectations for this place because it is close. But I have to agree with Danny J. from Denver and Patrick S. from St. Pete. It is an odd manner which to place order. Don't mind placing it at the register if someone is there. I was not aware I needed to ring the bell to get someones attention, that's okay too. I placed my order, 9" cheese steak w/fried onions...provolone cheese, fries. They call it the platter. And the highlight of the meal was the Hank's Root beer. I grew up about two beers from the Spectrum parking lot so I know a little bit about cheese steaks. What Danny J. said "they don't incorporate the cheese and the meat together they put the cheese inside the bun and then put the meat on top." And that is how mine was made which also made the sandwich a bit dry. What Patrick said, "But when I tell you it was salty -- It was salty! WAY TOO SALTY." Mine too was a bit salty but I thought that was because I biting into a thick piece of provolone. The fries weren't bad but the star was Hank's Root Beer. I'm not gonna tell ya not to go but if you do they also use CheezWiz, that may circulate through the meat better. Peace. read more

I've probably driven past this place a million times and told myself I was going to on in and try a Philly. Well today was that day! I bought a large fry and South Philly. First off, the fries were AMAZING. Reminded me of McDonald's fries but crispier. The roll the Philly came out was super soft and fresh and the roll was loaded with provolone which I loved. I will definitely be coming back to try something else, maybe a burger? read more

Ok guys. More than anything else I want to give good reviews. And I'm a lover of cheesesteaks. I'm a little scared for little Philly. Saturday at 1:30 out of hotdogs, out of chicken Parm, out of sausage and peppers, out of an awful lot of things. Cheesesteak a bit anemic, this rolll is anything but what I would find in Philadelphia and I'm there a lot! Fries were excellent. Seriously. I'll come back and give you all another shot and please let me know if I hit you on a bad day and that's not your normal Roll - or the regular state of things Thanks! read more

**** Review 158 **** This place might be new to St. Pete, but the neighborhood has made it their own. The restaurant is small, but has some outside seating. The menu is extensive, and they have beer on tap. The staff is friendly, and service is fast. The cheesesteaks are long, with a good flavor. It could use a little more meat, but you can get fries for an additional $2. They do slice their own beef everyday, and make everything fresh. read more

The Violet Stone and Delco's Original are still the only places to go to in Tampa Bay if you want a Philly Cheesesteak. Little Philly is just that. Little bread, little meat, little toppings, not much food there. I tried the burger as well. Unfortunately, I can make better burgers from CostCo. The flavor was alright, but pretty plain and small once again. 3% charge for using credit card. read more

I was really in the mood for a Philly cheesesteak. I remember I heard a rumor about a new sub shop in town... but I had to Google it to remember the name and find out where it was. Let me introduce you to Little Philly on Central Avenue. So I'll start out with the good first... It's a very cute restaurant. The fact the restaurant barely has a front door and is open to the street, I was pleasantly surprised how clean and inviting the restaurant was. It even has a nice restroom. The service is a little odd with only a single register in the back corner. There are chairs you can sit both outside and in the front of the restaurant... But there's absolutely no table service. You have to order from the small iPad. Now for the bad... The food. Was it bad... No. Was it good... Not really. First of all, the menu is a little confusing. I just wanted a Philly cheesesteak. It's hard to even figure out what a regular Philly cheesesteak is with all the other weird names and odd descriptions on the menu. I think I picked the right one... But when I tell you it was salty -- It was salty! WAY TOO SALTY. I know flavor equals salt... But, this was like dumping a salt packet in your mouth. Not enjoyable. Maybe I got a salty batch of Philly cheesesteak... I'll give the restaurant another shot someday. But for now... I'd have to say skip it. read more

I stopped in on a Thursday night for takeout and I'm impressed! I got the Philly cheesesteak with Wiz, onions, and mushrooms and a side of fries. It was packaged neatly, the sandwich didn't explode when I unwrapped it, and the fries were in a little box so they didn't get crushed. The steak was all juicy and tender, no gristly bits which is awesome. Everything was delicious, I will definitely be going back! read more

***Update: Second visit to Little Philly did not disappoint. Ordered the classic Philly and the Chicken Cutlet Sandwich. Bread is very fresh as is the chicken and ribeye. Will be back. Word on the street is they are working on a late night menu for Tap House and passerbys for after hours. Just tried Little Philly for a good lunch spot. Great selection on the menu including Ribeye cheesesteaks, chicken (fresh) with various cheese choices. Loved the provolone, lettuce, tomato and grilled onions on my Chicken Cheese Philly. Hoagie rolls are super fresh - will definitely be back soon! **Only downside is the service was a little slow, but to be expected for the first month getting all the kinks out.** read more

Let me start by stating that i own two restaurants. The order process was deftly taken care of by the charming cashier...regular Philly add hot peppers and mushrooms with a cup of chile...total $ about $22..not terrible.. But the owner was screaming at the cashier in the kitchen....did it twice more while the place was full of guests. The cashier left for ten minutes to regroup. No one should have to work in that environment...i hope that he loses all of his investment...terrible behaviour. read more

Absolutely delicious! The sausage and peppers, the cheesesteak, the cheeseburger, the fries and the chicken cutlets absolutely all my favorite! Really fresh and just like Philly! Highly recommended this place. read more

Most authentic Philly cheesesteaks in St Pete! Ashley and Patrick are the best late night representatives for this fantastic establishment!

An authentic taste of home. Decor looks like a throwback to the shops I visited growing up. He has TastyCakes too. Shawn is the real deal. I really enjoy talking to him about home when i go in too. Service is speedy. I live this place. read more

Late night service is bad, they don't even acknowledge you! Sitting for 20 minutes no one in the place. Giggling teenagers running a place with 20 dollar sawdwiches read more

What a wonderful place to grab an authentic philly. This is always in our top stop if we are around Downtown St Pete. The Cooper Sharp cheese is a must. I've also had the a few of the delicious soups and the OG is great for you chicken lovers. The Central vibe is also incredible. Parking is always easy. Great service, Clean & Affordable. You know its going to be an awesome Philly if Greg is in the back. read more

My sandwich was not good. The bread was hard and the onions were undercooked. The cashier seemed really pissed off. The tables and floors could have been cleaner. read more

I enjoyed the vibes. I got a Cheesesteak with peppers, mushrooms, and whiz. The cheesesteak was huge and stuffed full of meat. My friend got the chickencheese with a root beer and equally liked it. This will be my go to cheesesteak place for sure. Menu is extensive. Service was good and food came out relatively quickly. read more

Been here twice, you'll wait for 20-30 minutes and the guy is rude the entire time. You'd think it'll turn around when you finally get the food but it is genuinely inedible. Just a brutal waste of time and money. read more

Any time you hear that someone does a Philly CheeseSteak in Florida you're going to be skeptical. This place is amazing and a must try. From walking in you're greeted by Mo with a giant smile while wearing a Kelce jersey (Go Birds). The bread is fresh and high quality. Prices are more than fair and if you want the absolute sleeper pick get the chicken fingers. They are without a doubt the best chicken fingers I've ever had. read more

amazing staff, environment, music, and food total recommended i gave a 5/5. and they close late atm fri/sat so its convenient. check it out. read more

I had a very enjoyable experience - both food and service. I got a steak, American, mushrooms, peppers and onions. It was a good size with plenty of meat. The bread was really good. The 2 staff I encountered were both lovely. Place was totally clean, including the bathroom. I'll def be back! read more

Not lying when I say that this is probably the best "classic burger" you will ever eat!

Best Phillies outside of Philadelphia Staff is super nice. Classic arcade machine. Always has the game on. Or twitch and skate videos. I go here every chance I get. read more

Came here on a Monday and there were only a handful of people in the restaurant maybe four or five. Ordered at the counter and when the food came out literally every single thing we ordered was wrong. Like could not have gotten it more wrong. However, the food was still excellent so no complaints there on taste. The Philly's were insane good. The place was kind of dirty, considering how slow it was. Like dirty table tops and trash on the floor. Would definitely come back but triple check your order. Worst case scenario you get the wrong thing and it's still taste good read more

We stopped in here for a late dinner, my wife had a turkey hoagie that she enjoyed, I had their burger and it was fantastic (6 napkin burger) and we both had their hot and crispy fries. We highly recommend Little Philly! read more

Finally got to try out Little Philly. I got a cheesesteak with wiz and fried onions. Somehow mayo got on there. The meat was a good quality but there was very little on the roll. The roll was ok but I'm not sure why people just don't use the Amoroso rolls Fountain drinks would be a good addition here as $3.25 for every bottle of iced tea I drink would be crazy. I felt the total was crazy expensive for a cheesesteak lunch. I was born and raised in DELCO (Philly) so I know my cheesesteaks well. I feel the non cash fee is really squeezing the customer over the already expensive sandwich. I'm going to give this place another try and I will update this review accordingly. I really want the place to do well .... We need a local cheesesteak spot read more

The cheesesteaks are authentic! Took me back to my high school days. Give this great spot a try.

Lots of different steaks to choose from, including chicken and mushroom! They even offer vegan cheese. Not as fast or as cheap of a lunch as you would expect from such a casual place. We waited for a good 10 minutes for our food, and we paid nearly $30 for two subs, and that was without fries or drinks (most of the drinks themselves are just sodas, but they charge $3.00-$4.00 for each one). The staff are very nice, and the ambiance is fun (they have a Pacman-Galaga machine!). So if you are in the mood for a Philly cheesesteak, this is a great place to go in St. Pete. read more

One of my two spots I go to locally for an authentic Philly cheesesteak. I wish they had more seating, but it's fine, unless it's a late night on the weekend. I recommend this place. read more

Best Philly I had in a long ..can compete with Gino,s.service was superb..highly recommend when in st Pete..

Thought we would check this place out after receiving a menu/flier on our car today while at the Phillies Spring Training game. (By the way, a great way to advertise especially for those of us who are from out of town & LOVE Philly!) Ashley took great care of us and the food was fantastic! We will definitely come back! read more

This little place is tremendous! The steak is perfectly seasoned and delicious and the bread is the best roll I've ever had. Get the original, and don't forget the philly chilly, it was awesome. Very welcoming staff even though we got there late. Entire restaurant is immaculate! We will be back! read more

Great service, the cheesesteak was good, not Philly status but I'll def come again. The server recommended the buffalo chicken cheesesteak and chicken cutlet sandwich so I'll those next time. Loved the casual outdoor seating in the heart of downtown and enjoyed a beer as well! read more
