We had the Philly 12". It was well seasoned and you get to chose your toppings or go all the way for a full monty . Fries are hand cut and delicious. We also had the reuben which was full of meat and good rye. Our server was attentive and answered all of our questions. There is a deli counter for grab and go and they have pastries. The have an 8 seat bar with draft beers that are priced from $5.50 to $8. They serve breakfast all day. Great spot if you are staying in the area or heading g to Ft. DeSoto. read more

Phila Deli - Philly - Delis Near Me - Tierra Verde, Florida

Hubs took me to breakfast yesterday at Phila Deli. It's a little place in a strip mall. The small restaurant is clean and also has a bar area. I believe it serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. I didn't know our server's name, but she was sweet and provided good service. I had an amazing avocado toast. I think it's one of the best I've had. They even made my toast with ciabatta and added an over easy egg on request. Hubby had your normal two eggs, sausage and hash browns dish. This restaurant also has a bakery attached, and we did leave with four pasties to take to our next resort in Longboat Key. I did think their price of $5 per item was a tad too much, though. Their homemade sandwiches on baguettes look so good, too. The bakery staff was just as sweet as our server. I recommend Phila Deli. read more

Delicious, nothing else to say. Food is consistent a d always especially good. I highly recommend.

Tucked away on Tierra Verde, this place was perfect for a quick lunch. Small bar and a few tables and a take out area. The service was excellent and the food was INSANELY GOOD! The Philly (the signature item) was amazing! The bread was soft but not soggy, the meat was lean and tender, and the cheese made the sandwich perfection! read more

They have very good food (French owner/cook). My particular favorite is their quiche slice with a truly lovely small side salad. Do yourself a favor and go. Located on Tierra Verde (on your way to Fort DeSoto) breakfast available all day plus lunch and small dinner items open till 5:00. read more

This spot has been on my list for a while. I was down in the area and figured I'd take the opportunity and check it out. The cheese steak sandwich was delicious. The egg rolls were good. But they didn't blow my mind. I would return if I'm down that way. read more

The Philly cheesesteak really was good, almost better than some places in Philly. One star deducted because their breakfast wrap wasn't quite as tasty. read more

Great pace food and service haven't had a bad thing love it heading to ft Desoto stop by for a lunch to or eat in

I am from Philadelphia and I must admit the Philly Cheese Steak was delicious . Keep up the good work.

Chose this place solely on the rave reviews of the Philly Cheesesteak. They were empty. We opted to dine in. Service was good and prompt. I ordered the 12" Philly as I wanted leftovers for the beach tomorrow. The portion was huge and plenty of meat to bun ratio. The bun was amazing and fresh. Personally, I wasn't much of a fan of the flavor or lack thereof. The melted American Cheese just kinda threw the sandwich off. My husband got a Cuban and said it was serviceable. I'll note he's had a couple other Cubans from other places this trip that were amazing. The fresh cut fries were the star of our meals. Superb and thick cut. Onion rings were nice and crispy also. I feel like this place might be going through an identity change and not sure where they will land. They are new owners for about a year and as far as the menu I think they have just kept what the previous owners did well. Not sure but my perception. They have a French bakery attached which has some very nicely prepared treats. Mickael, our server and I believe owner, said he makes them and I think that's where his passion really is. We took a chocolate lava cake and Tiramisu Togo. I just don't think I'd go back for the Philly again. Also, they don't honor any 10% coupon Yelp sometimes offers when you check in. He said they are not affiliated with Yelp in any way and are unsure why their stuff is posted at all. read more

I love this restaurant. They have delicious gluten free muffins. I also enjoy their Cobb salad. My husband says the Philly beef is awesome

I just checked out Phila Deli for lunch out on Tierra Verde. I have been searching for a solid cheese steak in our area, and I definitely found one. I stopped in and placed an order at the counter. I wanted to enjoy this weather, so I chose to take it to go and eat it out front on the picnic tables provided. I ordered my sandwich with onions, hot cherry peppers, and extra cheese. I sat outside and my food was ready shortly thereafter. I took a seat at the picnic tables with a few local construction workers that were also enjoying their cheese steak lunch. First look at my sandwich and it looked really good. The meat to bread ratio was exactly how I liked it. It was super cheesey and the peppers were nicely distributed throughout the meat. My first bite was amazing. It was everything I have been searching for. The meat was seasoned nicely and it was perfectly cheesey. I finished off my sandwich fairly quickly and I was quite content. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch at Phila Deli. It was quick and tasty. The cheese steak was one of the best I have had in our area. Highly recommended. read more

Famous Philly (6" perfect amount for lunch) with Sidewinder fries is most excellent. Had the mushroom and red pepper on it. Nice! Service is quick and they check back with you. Watched some basketball on the tv. Not noisy at all and it was mostly full for lunch hour. read more

Phila Deli is our absolute Go-To restaurant on Tierra Verde for authentic Philly Cheese Steaks (and...BONUS...the other food on the menu is really good too). Fun here starts with wonderful service - spearheaded by Aspyn and Parker. Both are very personable and customer-centric! They just do a great job of welcoming you in and taking care of you. Phila Deli's Cheesesteak sets itself apart by using the authentic Amorosa Roll shipped straight in from Philly. Their steak and cheese is a generous serving and yet balanced nicely to enjoy both bun and contents. Couldn't do a review without a shout out on the Hand Cut fries - skin on deliciousness abounds! I've enjoyed the Croque Madame and it too is delicious. So come on in, ask for Aspyn or Parker and get ready for a Cheesesteak worthy of Philly right here in Tierra Verde! read more

Ordered food here from Uber eats for delivery. If I'm rating the Philadelphia cheesesteak I would have given it 5 stars but unfortunately the quesadilla brought down the rating. The Philly was loaded with meat. You are able to customize your order to add additional toppings- most are without additional cost. Unfortunately the quesadilla was the exact opposite. It lacked meat so much it was practically two flat tortillas. If you are eating here skip the quesadillas and go with the Philly cheesesteak! @stl.foodie read more

We love this place. Dining in is great and Uber eats delivers. Absolutely the best omelette ever and the cheeseburger was one of the best I've had in a long time. I used to live outside of Philly.

Cute cafe and deli nearby the beach. We came here for a late lunch after visiting Shell Key. Two of us had Philly cheese steaks, I had the chicken Philly, and my youngest son had chicken and fries.

Looking for a GREAT hamburger in St. Pete? Look no further. Philadeli's hamburger is stellar. 1/2 lb. brisket, short rib, chuck mix cooked to perfect medium (as requested) served with shredded lettuce, fresh, ripe tomatoes with red onion and premium pickles on a toasted bun. Best in SP so far. A pricey burger but you get what you pay for. Discounted on Wednesday's. Comes with great fries. Sorry no pic.

Phila Deli - Chef Salad - Delis Near Me - Tierra Verde, Florida

One of the best Philly Cheese steak sandwiches you will get!! It was delicious!! Rib eye tender, tasty, and the roll totally authentic!! I had onions, bell peppers on mine. You have numerous choices of sides, I got the potato salad! Again delicious. They charge for the sides, but thats fine because the price of the sandwich is totally reasonable for how much they give you. Sandwich served nice and hot too! We loved it. I also loved the nice fresh cold pickle served with my meal. I normally dont eat the pickle most restaurants serve because its warm and looks like its been laying around for days. This place has a huge selection of wine, had the house Pinot Grigio it was excellent. Nice selection of beers. Boars head cold cuts. You need to go. Great job. read more

Great job on the renovations. Clean and modern looking now. Kept all the old favs. Bonus - they now have a bakery!

We have had a place in St Pete for awhile but just decided to try this place. I wish we would have found it earlier because it's amazing. The first time we got 2 sandwiches that were super fresh and huge portion size. The very next morning we ordered breakfast and it was insanely tasty. They have a wide variety of menu items so there is something for everyone. Lastly their staff is extremely friendly. Makes supporting local so much sweeter. read more

Pretty disappointed. But I should have looked at the menu first then I would have never came in. I saw phila deli and thought "yes I can grab a hoagie!" Not a single hoagie on the menu. So I got a bec on a plain bagel, 5/10. Bagel kinda burnt but the egg and cheese was fluffy and melted well. Service was good good was ehh. read more

Best subs, cheesesteak is awesome, meatball sub great too. Worth the drive!!! Tiera Verde is beautiful

Am I home in Philly or am I in Florida? This cheesesteak is the BOMB!! Thanks Bob for showing Florida how a cheesesteak is done... From the rolls to the thinly sliced steak to the cheese to the hospitality. Makes me feel right at home, I will for sure stop every time I'm in town! I'd give 100 stars if I could! read more
