    It's a nice place, but the food is god-awful and the alcohol is god-awful. I'm sorry I went there and spent $40. Don't go there.!!!

    Great food, great service & great atmosphere. We came for a quick lunch with a granddaughter - but we'll be back again for sure.

    Best food in Stuart! Cheesesteaks are authentic Philly's and the burgers are amazing. Can't wait to go back!

    This is my second visit to this great little restaurant. Visited a few weeks ago and had an…read moreexcellent experience. So, why review again? Experiences can be one-offs that aren't truly representative of the restaurant. You place your order at a station right at the entrance. They bring your food to your table. One note: you pour your own coffee (or tea in my case) at the coffee bar. Nothing fancy, with plastic ware, styrofoam cups and baskets for your food. But, as in my previous visit, the service was excellent. The girl taking your order is always pleasant and helpful and she will visit you during your meal to make sure everything is ok. I decided to try a different dish. This time I ordered the Taylor Ham and egg "hoagie" (they call it "pork roll" which means they come from south Jersey). In addition to my hoagie I also ordered a cinnamon roll. The delightfully fresh bread hoagie comes jam packed with two eggs and plenty of Taylor Ham. I ordered my eggs over easy to assure plenty of yolk and that's exactly how it arrived. Be forewarned, the sandwich is big (my brother took 1/2 home) so make sure you leave plenty of room or better still share with your guest. As mentioned, I also wanted to try their jumbo cinnamon roll which I had passed on, on my previous visit. The server asked if I wanted the cinnamon roll grilled. I chose to have it heated and buttered (via microwave), which threw a curve at my server who had obviously never had that request before however, it came out exactly as I had requested. A warm, moist cinnamon roll with melted butter provides the perfect salty/sweet balance that made this a delight to eat. Although full from our sandwiches, we couldn't stop until we demolished that jumbo cinnamon roll! The bottom line: As with all my reviews my "customer so what" ... would I come back? Since this is my second visit in the span of two weeks, the answer is obvious... absolutely.

    Yuck. I wanted a simple sub so I decided to stop in, they were very busy during the lunch rush but…read moreI ordered and waited. I got a ham and turkey with provolone on a sub roll, mayo lettuce and oil and vinegar, bag of chips and a drink... $17! Insane price for a sandwich lunch, but I was hopeful that it would be worth it. When I got back to my office I opened my sandwich and it was soaking wet, so much that the bottom was falling out. It had tomatoes, which fine I'll pick them off, but hardly any lettuce and gobs of mayonnaise. After opening it up, there was one slice of ham and one slice of turkey as far as the meat goes and no provolone which I had asked for. The entire sandwich was soaked with mayonnaise and oil and vinegar, in excessive amounts and was inedible. I picked out the couple slices of meat and the rest away. Not worth the price.

    I visited Philly Down South twice in the two weeks I visited Stuart for the holidays - it's that…read moregood. This review will encompass both visits. You can seat yourself anywhere for lunch under the big grass roof or under some accompanying umbrella tables. Servers came by quickly and were attentive to order details. Drink wise I got a classic Arnold Palmer for one visit, and a Virgin pina colada for the other. Both were good! I like my Arny P less sweet, and I love my pina coladas with a good amount of pineapple. For lunch the first time I got the Philly with the pineapple slaw, which is really something different compared to wherever else you can get a Philly. There wasn't a lot of slaw on my sandwich but it was just enough to brighten up the sandwich. The second time I got the chicken Philly, which has your classic fixings just with chicken instead. Fries on the side both times are delicious! Nice and crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. One standout memory I have is that my mom wanted a loaded fries that was more vegetable than meat which isn't on the menu. However, they were able to accommodate this and delivered very well to her liking! I remember when Philly Down South was just the food truck and a couple of umbrella tables. My mom says that every time she visits Philly Down South, it seems to get a little larger. I love the current grass hut ambiance that even features a stage for some live music! In my opinion, they should be the prime dining option at Stuart beach. Bathrooms for Philly Down South are really the Elliot Museum's, so make sure to bring proper coverups and footwear if you're coming from the beach. Can't wait to come again when I next visit Stuart!

    I went to this restaurant and had a terrible experience! My chicken philly cheese steak sandwich…read morewhich was to include peppers, onions and cheese. After waiting 45 minutes I received one that had raw onions no peppers and no cheese. My bf ordered ice tea and to my shock recieved on bill a charge for 2 ice teas for 8.88! I then tried to discuss the poor service and outrageous price of ice tea. He told me and I quote.... that if I didn't like it I could get the fuck out and not to come back!
