As a guy from Philly this was an authentic cheesesteak place. Could find a place like almost anywhere in Philly but not around these parts. Meat was cooked perfectly. Cheeses didn't have the option of a whiz wit but American was blended well. Only needed a crusty Amoroso roll and it would have been 5 stars. have read more

Out of all the Cheesesteaks in the area this place was the best overall **Most affordable** **Most tastiest** **Most Portions** I've had authentic Philly cheesesteak in Philly and this is as close as it gets. Meat is seasoned perfectly well with bread thats soft! Philly is big so it doesn't leave you feeling for more like other places. Sure the place needs improvements but what matters most is the food. I was served immediately all the time. read more

The food here was actually really good -- everything tasted fresh and was well made, so no complaints on that side. Unfortunately, the customer service completely took away from the experience. The person taking my order seemed like she didn't want to be there at all and was on her phone the entire time I was ordering. It made the interaction feel rushed and unprofessional. If they could improve the service, this place would easily be a go-to spot, but as of now, it's hard to overlook that part of the experience as I'm very big on customer experience. A whole Philly cheesesteak will run you about 19-20$ and a half will be about 11-12$ with no sides or drinks a little pricey but the flavor was definitely there she also forgot a ranch sauce she charged me extra for read more

Came here after scoping it out online. Eastside Tacoma...so yea...a little sketchy. Took a little minute to get the order in because some ladies were holding up the line. Said it would be ready in 15 minutes, was a good 30 minutes. People walking all up in the kitchen from outside. Prices are pretty high considering fries and drinks are extra. Shasta drinks is what's on the menu. Sandwich is good size, lots of meat--but sadly, hardly any toppings or cheese. Couldn't really tell there was any onions or mushrooms on the Mushroom Cheesesteak, my friend (from the East Coast) got the one with lettuce, tomatoes and mayo. Said there was a lot of mayo, no tomatoes, and the lettuce was soggy. The quality of ingredients is subpar. Really just didn't do it for us. We both agree that it wasn't worth the money or the hype. We would have loved to love it though. read more

Best most authentic cheesesteaks in tacoma. A real treat to have them, before thy opened there wasn't anyone really nailing it.

This place has been on my list for a while. Unfortunately, the second we walked in it was an almost immediate no and we turned around and left. The smell walking inside was off putting. The floor was sticky. The place was dirty as were a few tables despite nobody being in there. The woman at the counter was on the phone and never even looked up. The TV was anxiously loud. We stood there for a few minutes and finally walked out. read more

SKETCHY AS HELL!!! I just drove into the parking lot. Looked in. Left! From the Yelp reviews I've been wanting to try this place. Instead I ended up at Go Philly instead. I had a hard time locating this place for it has not sign. When driving by they only have a banner that was loosely hanging and doing nothing. The place itself was run down and ratty. It did not even look like an open business but some vacated store front. Unlike Go Philly this place had no customers inside. To add to the sketch. There were several old cars parked in the parking lot. Two of the cars had women hanging out the passenger side doors. Both of them were shooting up drugs in their legs. So I just left! read more

Mushroom cheese steak delish, ready when we got there. A+++++. Sorry ate it before pictures

Definitely the best philly's in Tacoma hands down! Service is okay but the food makes up for it. It's a small owned business that can be a little loud sometimes but man they make the best philly's I've had in a long time. It's one of me and the wife's favorites! read more

This is by far my favorite Philly spot in Tacoma, the food ALWAYS hits. I crave a Philly cheesesteak probably once a week, I haven't been able to get one as much as I want but when I do, I don't care how far away I am, I'm coming here. The staff is kind and friendly, asked me my name introduced themselves personally, were cracking jokes and being silly, i appreciate a business that not only has good food but the good service behind it as well. I haven't lived on Portland Ave for probably 10 years now so I had no idea about this hidden gem until recently and I'm so glad I found it. Matter of fact I'll be there soon as I get paid but seriously go try it out, they stuff the Philly full of food, it's nice and hot, and it's a nice homey little restaurant. Coming from a very picky eater- gas gas gas read more

This is a no frills cheesesteak. It's very similar to a neighborhood cheesesteak shop you would find in Philadelphia, this is not a traditional restaurant setting. I would suggest visiting during the day, the adjacent businesses have bars on the windows, so it's probably not a good idea to visit at night. The cheesesteaks are very good, if you enjoy a traditional Philly Cheesesteak. read more

Ive left many pics here. I wont post another. This is by far our favorite Philly in the king/pierce area. this is a big sandwhich with lots of real 'ribeye' steak. the biggest around. The meat is chopped really fine with great care and has HUGE flavors. Theyre so big they easily stay hot until i get to Federal way. Theyre french fries are always a large order you can split. theyre always perfectly cooked. Just so you know.... they dont start cooking until you order it. Youre sandwhich will be hot off the grill and very fresh. Ive told them many times that if they have to raise prices Ill gladly pay it. i dont care what they charge. Just please dont change the sandwiches. Theyre sandwhich is truly unique. cant go wrong here. Yes we've eaten at the other places. pretty much all of them. When we want a no B/S philly this is where we go. the owners are very nice and polite. these are the type of people we like to support. read more

Best spot in town family owned and well worth a trip to get your Philly fix. I usually call ahead the fries are very good as well with the cheese and steak added read more

Traveling through town I found this gem and had to try it out. Gotta say, it didn't disappoint. They packed my Philly cheesesteak sandwich with copious amounts of perfectly cooked and seasoned ribeye meat. So good. Totally recommend. read more

The Food was HOT OFF THE GRILL it was fresh and seasoned too perfection the Setvice is amazing the lady that took our order was VERY patient and even gave us free drinks, these Philly's are huge whether you order the hard or the whole it's alot.. can't wait to have them again read more

I stopped by this place after seeing a video on social media. First off, the area is a little sketch, probably wouldn't come here after dark, honestly, but. The food was great. I've only found a couple places in washing/oregon that are competent in making a solid Philly sandwich. This is one of them. The meat was seasoned well and had great flavor. Not dried out or chewy. Could definitely use about double the cheese they put on, but the meat is definitely the star of the show. The only complaint is the bread. It was decent, but just lacked something. It was a little too soft without that little bit of chew that holds a really Philly together read more

Nice place. Quiet. Good food and good service..friendly and not pricey. I give A big thumbs up.

I love a good Philly Cheesesteak but not are all created equal. I've been to Pat's and Geno's in Sooth Philly, so I hav e a pretty good idea of what a GREAT philly taste like. My Philly was really good. A lot of meat, cooked to perfection. There was cheese but it's mixed in, not slathered on top. Nonetheless, it was a truly hearty and tasty treat! Lady working was nice! Worth a stop-in for sure. read more

My Philly - The original! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I'm reallllly sad. Truly...Truly. Sad. They CHANGED THEIR MEAT. And don't tell me you didn't...cause you did. I know 'cheap, low quality meat' when I see it. Let alone taste it. It is DEFinitely that cheaper 'meat'. That thin, course, tasteless '120- grit..sand paper' textured....paper meat..stuff. I should have taken a picture but was so pissed it got tossed on the second half last visit but... If you take a picture of what your NOW getting compared to the picture I show (where you could literally see the 'grain' of what was then --'the beef') you can SEE the difference. Good people fo sho' BUT they compromised greatness. After the two pictures of previous visit orders... They hit me twice afterwards wit that mess but that won't happen again. Bet. read more

It was great. Tasty and filling. I should have added nore cheese sauce. I doordash it but food was nicely presented and wrapped.

Understated!! This is by far the best Philly I've had in the state. I used to work at Jersey Mike's and that is basically the McDonald's of cheesesteak on the west coast. This is much much better. Good quality meat and a lot of it. Vegetables are cooked perfectly and aren't just slime in the meat. Cheese isn't overwhelming and it travels very well. I drove with these in my car for over 30 minutes. They were still hot/not soggy and full of flavor. They have a great bread, clean atmosphere and amazing service. Beautiful smiling faces greet you as you walk in. The humble restaurant is clean and tidy. Everything is made to order so it's all super crazy fresh. Pricing is kind at the very least. For the amount of food you're receiving, the Philly should cost more. They are stuffed, I mean STUFFED with good quality beef. From the outside, it looks like a hole in the wall Philly place, which wouldn't completely turn me off, but inside is a cute and efficient cheesesteak shop. Best hidden gem I've found since moving to Washington 4 years ago. Definitely under hyped. read more

Hands down delish!!! These people know how to season food correctly and to perfection! Quality food prepared by someone who cooks like they are eating it. LOVE THIS PLACE! A++++++++++++ read more

My new go to place in Tacoma. I've been in at least 4 or 5 times now. Heck even learned the hard way that they aren't opened on Sundays :-( Asked for recommendation on first trip and was told pepper cheesesteak. So moist and well seasoned, I like it better than most cheesesteaks in Philly where my girlfriend lives. Make sure you hold the sandwich properly as it will drip. read more

Okay you come here like everyone else has said for two things food and really friendly staff. I'm from South Jersey I do know a thing or two about Philly cheesesteaks. I still order them on gold belly from Pat's with whiz. I've paid a lot of money for that privilege to enjoy what I grew up with here outside of Seattle. In the 15 years or so since I moved here I have looked at almost every restaurant that has the name Philly cheesesteak. There are a few really good ones but unfortunately if you have closed and some are not as good as they used to be. But a drive from Seattle to Tacoma to buy my cheese steaks and return the same day is a lot cheaper and environmentally better then ordering them from Pat's. Their food is exceptional I tried three different sandwiches to see how they would be and how they would compare to what I've had here and back home. I ordered their special cheese steak, a mushroom cheesesteak, and an Italian hoagie. I have no need to order from Pat's anymore. Pats are still better but it's only because they can get that good South Philly bread. The sounds and smells while you're waiting for your sandwiches remind me of every corner sub shop I grew up in. The click click click click click of the spatula's chopping up the steak, the smell of the onions cooking brought me right back home. If they sold tasty cakes it would be perfect. Forget what I said about ambience the smell and the sounds and the staff make the place special. read more

Good Cheesesteak Sandwich place! There was one right in downtown Tacoma that I liked but was saddened to hear that they permanently closed so I'm glad there's another place that I am fond towards to try and fill that gap. One thing I really liked is you can get a half or a fuller size on the sandwich. Sometimes I don't want a mammoth of a sandwich to eat so the smaller portion was really nice to see. To start with on my first time here I got the classic Philly steak and cheese style sandwich. It was really good and was very satisfying but not too much since I went for the smaller sized sandwich. Good place to keep in mind! Most of the other customers here were doing take out so I did take out as well. Not sure if sit down dining is encouraged yet due to the pandemic but it's still a great place to go to get a sandwich here! read more

We heard of this place off of social media drove 20 mins to get a Philly. Good flavor abundance of meat but lack of onions and very little cheese very little. When I think Philly I think over load saute onions and cheese whiz up the arm this did not deliver. It was good but not a Philly but a meat sandwich. Won't go back. read more

Was out here for work and looking around Yelp I saw this place. Good ratings but only a handful of reviews. Perfect time to go try it out. First off, let me say the restaurant isn't like a fancy place or anything like that. It's a mom and pop shop that's more to go than anything, I mean it's a cheesesteak joint so don't expect waiters and all that. I only ordered a half sized cheese steak for lunch. It was messy and greasy but was SOOO good. I don't care what anyone says, that's EXACTLY how a cheesesteak should be. This half sandwich was loaded with ribeye slices where every bite was amazing. Don't expect your dutch crunch sliced turkey sandwich here. This is where you want to go to get slapped in the face with the flavor of real beef, cheese, and a soft roll where everything just melts in your mouth. If I'm ever back in Tacoma, definitely going back here. read more

My sister and I used to love going to Philly fever in Seattle, they had really good cheesesteaks. But from my understanding they have closed, and in between that time, I stopped eating meat. But I heard about this place on Facebook and saw that it was black owned and I had to support! I called my sister and asked what she wanted. She decided on the pepper cheesesteak. I placed the order and waited in my car. The young gentleman ended up bringing me my order!! I was very happy about that lol. I gave the cheesesteak to my sister and though I don't eat meat, omg it smelled so good hahaha and looked even better. My sister said that she did like it! She said it was equivalent to go Philly which is a good thing for Tacoma people as I keep hearing that's the go to Philly spot. WELL NOW THERE'S A NEW ONE!!! read more

As always fresh, made to order, delivered hot and fresh via Uber eats. They don't put mayo on (or mine at least) them and that is great - for me keep it simple. I ordered a half and could only eat half of that. I will have to reign in my craving for this amazing comfort food. The people there are so friendly and kind- they are super busy working but still produce 5 star quality. This is my third time in about 3 weeks - also note not as salty as some I have tried. read more

This place is cool. The owners are nice and friendly. Music is good. I am a fan. Up until yesterday our go to philly cheesesteak spot was Go Philly. Now My Philly has not completely replaced go philly, but I can see myself splitting my time between the two a bit more. Go Philly has one thing off the top that My Philly does not have and that is chicken wings. I think Go Philly might have some of the best chicken wings in the area. My Philly has one huge thing over Go Philly. Time management. I dont know if its because they are new or not as busy yet, but the system had an error when we ordered online and he didnt get the order. They got that sandwich off the grill in 10 minutes and it was awesome!! Go Philly will tell you a 40 minute wait and you should plan on an additional 30+ minutes on that. I like this place. The sandwich was packed full of meat and veggies. The flavors were great. It was as beautiful mess to eat but it was so delicious. read more

Food is great. Best Philly I've found in Western Washington. But bring ear plugs. They blast music on most days to the point of distraction. I usually wear earbuds when I eat there to block it out. I'd give them five stars if they just fixed this problem. read more

I really wanted to like this place. First, for being open since June(10 months), would think they have there operation in working order. Not sure if it's due to Grub hub orders or not. Anyways, lady told me food would be ready in 15mins but took over 30mins. Not sure if it was the time I arrived but restaurant was empty and mostly to go orders. I ordered full Deluxe Cheesesteak, full Mushroom Cheesesteak, and Cheese Fries with Steak. Food tasted okay but would have been better if they put the cheese on the sandwiches. Also I wouldn't recommend the Cheese Fries., it was too salty for my taste. Maybe I just picked a wrong day to come by. read more

Great cheesesteak. Got there at 8:30 and they closed at 9 but all the chairs were on the tables and we got the feeling from the girl cleaning the lobby that we were not welcome to stay, so we ate in our car with two kids. Other than that, great food! read more

Way better than mikes, better than Go, and better than your mamas. Yes even better than my own family's homemade version. My Philly delivers a straight-up simple sandwich like no other. Ask them, and they will shrug their shoulder. Lol. Making it happen. It's one of the most fantastic Philly I have ever had. I usually order the pepper ones. I have tried the deluxe and the basic. All of the Phillies are great. read more

Straight up, this place is amazing! From the moment we walked in, through the crowd of people that already knew how good this place is, the friendly greeting by the person behind the counter, and the smell of fresh steak being carefully curated into masterful sandwiches, we knew this was someplace special. We were there at the tail end of lunch and as the existing customers filtered out the staff really shined with their friendliness and customer service. Even the head chef/owner came out to visit for a few minutes with people before disappearing back to his tasks in the kitchen. The Philly cheesesteak sandwiches were phenomenal! So full of tender meat that had the best flavor I've tasted. Contained in a super fresh soft roll with melted cheese making this sandwich a must have! Combined with a side of fries and a homemade blue raspberry lemonade made this a filling meal. Highly recommended in every way and we'll definitely be back soon! read more
