    Ham Sub
    Terry L.

    Phila Junction 10-3-25 I have eaten here many times when the old owners were there, but I had to give it a try since the new owners took over to see if they still had great Cheese Steaks. After 166 reviews in this area and being one of Yelps top 3 reviewers I encounter a weird problem. It was not the food per say but someone that worked there. Let me explain I ordered a Cheese Steak and Fries. My wife ordered a Ham Sub. She asked our waitress if she could get Swiss Cheese because American does not set well with her as it will make her ill. Waitress said Yes, no problem. When our food came out my Cheese Steak was very good as was the Fries. My wife's Ham Sub had American Cheese on it which she removed right away and told our waitress about it. She said she was sorry and would go and get Swiss for her, but my wife said no. We paid our bill and wrote on the receipt ATTENTION TO DETAIL. We were outside the business finishing up their review video when an employee from this place came outside and started yelling didn't, she tell you she would replace your Cheese? I ask her what's your name 3 times, but she would not tell us. My wife stated yes, she did but it's our right to write on the receipt. The employee then stated didn't you ever have a bad day and stormed back inside the building. I thought what a shame as their food was not that bad, but this ruined the total experience. I give this place 1 star. Follow Me On FB For More Reviews & Fun Gulf Coast Terry

    We have eaten here a lot over the years. My hubby is from PA and every now and then wants a taste of home. The last couple of times it has not been the same. We just went yesterday and the decor is so odd now. It's like farm ish chic/ French bistro ish looking. The walls are shiny white and the rest is navy blue and the comfy booths are almost all gone replace by very uncomfortable and banged up chairs. I don't get it at all. The food is still good, although I noticed that the cheese steaks use canned mushrooms which is such a pet peeve of mine. Have I just never noticed before? Or is this a new owner thing. I miss the old place, all it needed was a fresh coat of paint and a little clean up. But nope... We have to turn it into some farm French cafe looking thing. With super uncomfortable and old banged up chairs.

    Photos taken 6 months apart, all of the character, warmth, and coziness has been stripped away, and replaced by drab white and grey.

    Photos taken 6 months apart, all of the character, warmth and coziness has been stripped away, and replaced by drab white and grey. The cool yellowed vintage posters now dont make sense against the sterilized backdrop. If the owner reads these, I think grey/white minimalist design is on the way out in the next 5 years or so, people are longing for rich colors and unique atmospheres. Unfortunately youve already bought the supplies so I dont see it being changed again any time soon, just unfortunate such a cool place was dismantled. The food is good but a large part of why people leave their house and spend a premium over home cooked meals is for the experience/atmosphere

    Breaded Onion Rings

    Went for a sandwich this afternoon and this place didn't disappoint. I had a Philly with peppers and onions. Delicious. The meat was tender and more than enough. My husband had the Philly slugger. It was chock full of meat, peppers, onions and mushrooms. For side items we had coleslaw and onion rings. The coleslaw made me think I was back in Massachusetts. Delicious flavor. The onion rings were ok. Christin our server was amazing. She checked on us often and made sure our drinks were always full. This place has been around for a long time but I never went to it. This is changing today. We will definitely be coming back. The restaurant was super clean.

    Went to see what all the hype is. There is not perfect Philly Cheese Steak unless you live in Philly, and even there you can find 2-3 versions. I was not overly impressed, the meat was chopped too fine for my taste; no evidence of Au Jus, (I prefer to have it running down my face when biting into) and little evidence of cheese. We ended up getting the Cheese sauce on the side. Making a Philly Cheese Steak is one thing, but don't try to convince people that it is the best in Fort Myers. The search continues...

    Cheese Steak
    Don R.

    I've been by the location quite a few times and finally said I am trying it! I love cheesesteaks so I wanted to put it to the test. I ordered the Cheesesteak with onions and a side of the rings. Over all I would rate this a 6/10. It was a decent steak but a little too wet for my taste. Made bread soggy pretty quick. I also enjoy my steaks with cheese wiz but i did not see the option on the menu. The rings were pretty good I added a side of ranch to dip and it paired well. Service was great. The waitress was very attentive to everyone and kept up with all the tables. The location has a very dinner/apple bees style feeling. Decor is sports related and mainly Philly teams. Plenty of space for big and small groups. Parking is abundant since this is a plaza with multiple businesses.

    Bill with tax added two times.

    Watch out. They add sales tax to each individual item, then they total the meal and add it a second time. They keep the first 6.5% and only credit the second 6.5% to the taxes.

    Food: 10/10 ($15-$25/per person) We ordered the pretzel with cheese, fries, and original cheesesteaks all in a different way and all of them came out perfectly! Tasted amazing! We poured some of the cheese on top of the cheesesteak and it was delicious! The meat had a very good tasty flavor, everyone at the table agreed it tasted really good. They use a very soft bun too! The fries were super crispy and the pretzel was really good with the cheese dip! We also ordered a French Dip to go and it was delicious also!! The Italian hoagie looked absolutely amazing. Anything you get on the menu will be amazing! Service: 10/10 We came in and it was pretty slow and we sat where we wanted with no problems! Our waitress was very nice to us, took good care of us & was extremely prompt; got our order right and drinks stayed full during our visit! We always appreciate a good meal with good service! Highly recommend coming here! (Reminder to tip your server!) Ambiance: 10/10 It was really nice! I really enjoyed the area, it has outdoor and indoor seating. The outdoor area only has a few tables but the indoor area has decent seating. They have a lot of Philly decor and funny things around the restaurant to look at. We luckily sat at a table with a 25 reasons you know you're from Philly poster and it was really funny especially reason #1 lol. They also had some funny names for some things on the menu lol. I definitely recommend coming in and getting some original made food!

    Hurricane Ian has left so much damage behind. They may be working with a limited menu, but they are working hard to provide fresh food to all those who have been without power for over a week. They are working tirelessly and have such a positive attitude. My Italian sun was over flowing with goodness and I even had to take 1/2 home ! Please support this small business - they are working to help get us all back on our feet.

We spent time walking around looking at all the artwork while waiting for our food, and there was a lot to see. They also had a big selection of seasonal specials, which was fun.

I was expecting something more like a piña colada with matcha, but it ended up being really citrus-heavy and honestly kind of strange, not in a good way either. Two people in our group ordered it, and both drinks actually tasted different from each other. The food took a while to come out, probably around 20-30 minutes, but the staff was super nice and apologized several times. The food itself was okay. My sandwich could have used more filling because parts of it were mostly just bread. Overall, I'm glad we went because it was a cool experience and a fun place to explore, but it's probably not somewhere I'd go back to regularly.

It is family operated and have a nice and clean look! When you look at their menu, they have Griot, a fried marinated Pork Shoulder, Kreyol, Goat Tasso Curry, Lalo, Callalou and Poisson Gros sel. Clearly, NMR specializes in Caribbean Cuisine with a heavy focus on Haitian dishes. Fish is a favorite on Caribbean Islands. In Haiti, poisson gros sel is a popular fish dish. It is simply a poached fish cooked in an aromatic broth. The term gros sel means rock salt, the fish is not salted or salty. With red and green peppers, onions, and some seasons and spices, the broth is light, tasty and flavorful. I ordered a Poisson gros sel, or poached red snapper with plantain, white rice and bean. What a treat! It tasted light, aromatic, and savory, with a little citrus flavor. As the white rice absorbs the broth, it gave your tastebud a surprise! Excellent dinner! The staff is attentive, friendly and welcoming! I observed they have a large number take-out orders. Lalo, Calllou and others look great, but will return just for poison gros sel alone!

He suggested the chef's special-shrimp scallops and red snapper and a side of vegetable rice. At first I was hesitant because I expected something like you see in a Chinese Buffet. But this was actually very tasty and covered with a light sauce. It also came with soup or salad. Dave got the salad and I got the chicken noodle soup. I wanted matzoh ball soup but there was a $3 up charge for a cup. The soup should have been called chicken veggie with two noodles. Very disappointing. We opted to share an order of rice pudding and it was served in an ice cream sundae glass with whipped cream. Delish! Jason was extra attentive and made sure that we had refills and everything we needed. As always Mel's saved the day.
