Philly Dat Up

This place is perfect during Mardi Gras and parades because they pass about a block away. That was…read moremy plan this day anyway. We purchased the bathroom pass which was maybe $20 for 10 bathroom passes. Something like that. And since there were multiple parades, we ordered food multiple times. The first time we ordered the philly cheesesteak, I mean, I had to! I hear the owners are from PA and had to try some authentic philly cheesesteaks. And fun fact! A yinz is a PA dialect that is basically 'yall' to us, so yinzer means someone who speaks the PA dialect! Back to the food. I selected provolone as my cheese and it was great! What a cheese pull! And they are NOT stingy on that meat; the sandwich was STUFFED! And working a full day of day drinking, this sandwich hit the spot. So later, after a couple of parades, we ordered the chicken this time. Again, STUFFED, and again, I got the cheese pull provolone. Everything was decently priced, especially for the overloaded sandwiches. The bread was pretty good as well. Soft, not hateful hard like some french breads can be. This may be dong phong or something close to it. And I like that they use poboy bread and not a traditional philly cheesestak hoagie - it makes it more personal adding that butterfly touch. The place itself is very tiny. Maybe 3 tables inside, and 2 or 3 picnic tables outside. The guy inside is quirky, goes with New Orleans. I had a great time here, it is great location, smack next to a bar and a coffee shop to boot.

I ordered the 6-inch Original Philly Cheesesteak ($8.95) and a mango smoothie. The cheesesteak was pretty flavorful and the mango smoothie tasted good as well. The manager even gave me a free sample of fried avocado bites with honey sweet & sour sauce. The building is kind of small to dine in, but I'm guessing it's mostly meant for take out. The bathroom was even aesthetically too. Overall, it's a nice place to visit it if you're craving a cheesesteak. I'd come back again.

Service is super friendly and fast, but I didn't care for the Chicken Philly…read more It was probably ok, but I definitely prefer the steak - the chicken was lean and the flavor very mild, so it mainly tasted like grilled bell peppers. We also tried the wings - definitely a good choice. The buffalo sauce is thick and full of flavor and the lemon pepper wings really illustrated the excellent fry technique behind the counter. Definition some of the best wings I have had - top 5, for sure. The meat was fresh and juicy, the skin was crispy and the two flavors were both excellent. I didn't get fries today, but Doug did - mmmm was all he said.

The lemon pepper boneless wings were flavored very well and was delicious. I enjoyed them.read more

Oh and I ate my leftovers cold out the fridge because it's still good cold or hot I ate the first part hot and the next part cold and let's remember it had shrimps on it.

Extremely disappointing experience, especially as longtime customers who have been coming to this…read morerestaurant for 15+ years. We have always enjoyed coming here, which is why this experience was particularly frustrating and disappointing. We arrived at 4:15 PM, and the server did let us know that they were only accepting to-go orders because the restaurant closed at 5:00 PM. However, given that it was only 4:15, we assumed we would still have enough time to order and eat our food, especially since our order was accepted. We placed our order at 4:15 PM, but our food didn't come out until 4:52 PM -- only eight minutes before closing. What made this even more frustrating was that my food was actually sitting behind the counter ready, yet the employee waited and proceeded to clean tables instead of bringing it out. If you know a customer is trying to quickly eat their food before closing, why would you leave their food sitting behind the counter and prioritize cleaning tables? At that point, it felt like the situation was being unnecessarily prolonged rather than handled with basic consideration for the customer. After waiting nearly 40 minutes for our food, we were then essentially rushed out because the restaurant was closing. If there was not enough time for us to eat our food, that should have been communicated clearly when we placed the order. We would have understood and simply taken our food to go. What made the experience even worse was the way the staff treated customers. One of the workers proceeded to raise their voice at customers and make rude remarks. The owner then questioned the customer who was being yelled at rather than addressing the situation professionally. It was extremely uncomfortable and unnecessary, and the interaction seemed to escalate a situation that could have easily been handled calmly. There was also an issue with our order. We specifically ordered fries with no salt. When the fries came out, the employee told me that the fries come pre-seasoned. If that was the case, why wasn't I informed when I placed the order? I would have gladly chosen something else if I had been told the request could not be accommodated. After coming here for more than 15 years, it is incredibly disappointing to see how much the experience has changed. It feels as though the owner has taken a step back from making sure the restaurant is being run appropriately and that customers are treated with the level of respect and service we have come to expect over the years. This was not just a long wait -- it was the combination of poor communication, unnecessarily holding my food behind the counter, being rushed out, an order that could not be accommodated without explanation, and staff speaking to customers in an unacceptable manner. The entire situation felt unnecessarily confrontational when it could have been handled with simple communication and basic customer service. We have supported this restaurant for 15+ years, which makes it especially disappointing to leave feeling this way.
