The cheesesteak here is just fabulous. Large fries are enough for 3-4 people. Very tasty, hot and crispy. Daughter had a hamburger and said it was nothing special but still good. The food came out in under 10 minutes and service was great! We will definitely be back ! read more

Came here on a recommendation by locals. Unfortunately, they may be closed for the season, so highly recommend calling first. If you have a hankering for an authentic Philly cheesesteak, these sandwiches will hit the spot. Located in a strip mall, restaurant offers cheesesteaks, hoagies (using Boar's Head meat & cheese), burgers, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, sides, and fountain drinks. There appeared to be a bar area with taps, but not sure if they were functional. Provides counter service with indoor seating. Staff friendly, efficient and delivered food to table. Food was fresh, hot and delicious--and, as an FYI fries have crispy coating. read more

Philly Steak Subs - Philly cheesesteak with mushrooms & cheese and side of fries (small portion of 1# fries--came in a paper bag) - Sandwiches Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

Loved the touch of Philly in North Carolina! The indoor decor was really fun - all Philly themed of course. The cheesesteak I thought was a little dry but we had some disagreement in our party over this topic. It did hit the spot for a cheesesteak for someone who hasn't had a real Philly one in months. read more

Hubby got the original Philly cheesesteak and it was one of the best he has ever had. I don't even like Philly cheesesteak and I couldn't stop stealing bites- it's that good I got the Italian and it was disappointing It had no mayo or oil & vinegar on it. I asked for some and he gave it to me, but the sandwich did not impress. Not like the Philly - I would get a Philly for me next time read more

Great food good portions and reasonably priced. Service was great also nice decorations in the restaurant

Hands down, the service here is phenomenal. The two brothers who run the place are great guys, and I highly recommend this place. The authentic Philly cheesesteaks are simply incredible. If you're staying in or near Corolla, I strongly suggest trying out their Philly steak subs. read more

My friends and I were looking for something to eat for dinner after a 5 hour drive and we stumbled upon this place. We came at the right time since it wasn't busy and we got our food quick, about 10 minutes. Best decision ever! Their cheesesteaks were delicious & it definitely filled us up! I got the 7-inch mushroom & pepper cheesesteak w/ a large order of ranch fries. I wish they added a bit more cheese on my cheesesteak, but it had lots of meat & it was still delish. Their ranch fries were fresh, crispy, & seasoned well (they use dry ranch seasoning btw). read more

Food had good flavor but ended up upsetting our stomachs. Service and ambiance was okay. Probably would not go back again

Thought I'd update my previous (original) review for this place - STILL A 5 STAR. Tried and true Philly Cheesesteaks. No nonsense just delicious, fresh, made-to-order down-home truly authentic cheesesteaks and all variations thwreof. Good value for what you get, subs packed with loads of meat and cheese. No skimping here. Great, friendly and prompt service from a family-run business. Restaurant itself has decent amount of seating, very clean and well maintained. Great for casual dining for large parties. We've never come here for the bar atmosphere but they do have an impressive array of tapped brews. Almost like a hidden gem - every time we've come, we've always gotten a table and there's never been a wait to order (order and pay at the counter, they'll bring your order out when it's ready). But they do have steady business coming in the door. I've posted more photos with this review update including the menu signboard and a pic of our HUGE Philly Cheesesteak so have a look. read more

Yummy Food. The fries were great. Service was great. The best Philly Steak sub I have had, ever. The ambience was that of local sports bar.

No matter what time of day you call to order, your food will be ready within 15 min. Food is amazing. Best out here in Corolla. Staff is great too. Absolutely go see them if you're in town! read more

Severely understaffed. I placed an online order and 10 minutes after it said it would be ready, it wasn't. The person at the counter said, "Yeah, we just post those times online. They don't mean anything." When I asked how long it should be, his answer was "I don't want to promise so it could be 20 or 30 minutes more or even longer." He told another customer who was complaining "Yeah, sorry, the owners just don't have enough people working here." There was a person standing behind the counter just on her phone and talking to people working. A customer asked her for something and she said "Sorry, I don't work here." So, who knows why she was standing behind the counter! I asked for a refund and his answer was "Sorry, we can't refund online orders." He then went back to the kitchen and said "Yours will be ready in 2 minutes." Food was okay, but very mediocre. read more

"REVIEW IS OF CHEESE FRIES ONLY" I have frequented here at least 2 or 3 times a week for the last 12 years and they are by far the best cheese fries you will find anywhere! I am only reviewing the cheese fries because the last time I had a Sub from here was 6 or 7 years ago. My kids look forward to coming here every year keep up the consistency and thank you! read more

Philly Steak Subs - Sitting at the bar - Sandwiches Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

We tried this place on a Friday. Five of us. It was jammed packed. Pros: you can order and pay online. I love this feature. Makes it so much easier. Food order was perfect with zero mistakes. Food review: Mozzarella sticks were pretty good. Steak sub my husband had he said wasn't great. He rated it a 5/10. It was soggy but more imptly it lacked flavor. Chicken tenders and fries were decent. 8/10 My Turkey and Swiss sub was the blandest sandwich/sub I've ever eaten. Zero flavor. Zero taste. I make a better sandwich myself at home. Not only was it not good, it was just Ick. I couldn't finish it. I'd rate it a 2/10 Gallon of sweet tea tasted like regular tee. Couldn't taste one drop of sugar in it. If you want sweet tea go to food lion because this tasted like unsweetened. I wasn't overly impressed. read more

I'm so glad this place continued to stay open throughout Covid. I come to Corolla every year and look forward to getting a Cheesesteak at Philly Steak Subs. The staff are nice (and wearing masks). The establishment is clean. And the food is so good! I've had cheesesteaks at other places where you get more bread than meat; not this place! They stuff the sandwiches full of meat so I feel my money is well spent. They also have great crispy fries and chicken wings as well! Thanks for staying open and serving up delicious food! read more

Stopped in while visiting the beach and really enjoyed the food. The cheeseburger was hot, flavorful, and filling. The onion rings were alright but the steak and cheese sub was amazing. We ordered the steak and cheese with onions, peppers, and mushrooms and were shocked that the sandwich melted in our mouths with every bite. Such a great find next to touristy shops so there's plenty to do and see once you are in the shopping plaza! read more

Very sad to see our favorite Philly steak place has fallen into such disrepair. It needs a good cleaning and we noticed the sanitation rating was like 86. The signs are covered with tape, the front display has some type of film on it so you cannot see the meats. It made me wonder if they used Boars Head or SteakUmms. I hope they will take a day or two to fix it up - we have always loved the sandwiches here. read more

I went here wanting a quick meal, but instead I was waiting 45 minutes and the people who were at the cashier were slightly rude I would not recommend. read more

This place hit the spot. We were hungry and did not want to wait. The food was fast and delicious. Will come back!!

If I could give this place more than five stars I would. I have been here about ten times and have never been disappointed. I always recommend it to anyone I know that comes to Corolla. First of all, their staff is always extremely friendly and helpful whenever I visit. There is also very rarely much of a wait time but obviously that changes a little due to busyness. Second, their food is absolutely amazing. Their cheesesteaks are very very delicious. I used to get one every time I went, specifically the Ranch Cheesesteak. I decided to switch things up recently and have been ordering a cold Turkey and Cheese Hoagie. The turkey is sliced very thin and piled onto the sandwich. It's the best turkey sandwich I have ever had from anywhere. I also always get Ranch Fries when I go, they are fries seasoned with ranch seasoning and are so good. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Whether you're looking for a cheesesteak or a deli sandwich this is the spot you should go to. read more

Cheese steak with wiz just like the old Mainstays in Philly. I like my cheesesteak with onion and wiz and this place was delicious. A 7 inch is enough for a meal as it left room for dessert or a beer. The place was out of fries at 630 and I heard them saying the onions we're low so be patient. It took 30 mins on a Friday night in June. Sit at the bar and enjoy a draft beer while you wait. They have some local and I enjoyed the Hatteras Red. If we come back next year to Corolla then this place will be in my meal rotation for a non seafood day. Kid friendly as well read more

Way over priced and terrible food. Anyone could make money down here in the summer. Too many people not enough food options that you don't have to wait over an hour for. read more

We had an order of 12 different subs and they did an excellent job not only getting the order 100% correct, but also labeling the sandwiches for us! Everything was delicious! read more

We have gone here for years several times throughout our vacation, this year something was different. Online order took over 30 mins longer than recommended time, many people in line had been waiting just as long, some walked out. Very short handed, Cashier was apologizing and they gave us free chips, but they need more help. Food was still good, hopefully they can recover heading into busy season. read more

Do not go here! If you're used to the Corolla classic business, it's gone. New owner and staff with no customer service. Very disappointed. Cheesesteak was greasy. Onion rings were yucky. Smelled the bathroom from 10 feet away. Ewww read more

The best cheesesteak I've ever had! My family all tried different cheesesteaks and everyone loved them. The cheesesteak egg rolls were delicious too! We will be back! read more

You wouldn't think to find such a great place in a strip mall, but here we are. I've had cheese steaks all over Philly. Delasandros, Jim's, Ishkabibbles.. None of them have anything on this place. I had the Bacon cheese steak and it was 100% out of this world! Am absolutely fantastic place to come, grab a sandwich, a cold beer and get ready to hit the beach! read more

10/10 best cheesesteaks ever. Have yet to have a better Philly cheesesteak in the place they're actually known for.... Philly.

I'm from Philly, and the steaks here are as authentic as they come! Every time we come to Carolla, this is our first stop. Definitely get the "Wiz with" for the real experience. The onion rings are also fantastic! read more

I was a little hesitant to try this place because I am not the biggest fan of Philly Steak Subs, but upon checking out the menu I found they offered a lot more than just subs which was a great thing for me. The atmosphere feels very much like a small sports bar. There is limited seating so it is not good for a group. We went there around 11 am and there were only a few booths left. It is a order and get a number and wait type of place. We only had to wait about 15 minutes for our food to come out. I had the double cheeseburger. As a side note if you order any type of hamburger it will take longer to come out than a sub. The double cheeseburger and fries were one of the best I have had. The portion is very big. The only real issue I had with this place is how pricey the place was. We only got a cheeseburger, fries, a sub, and a bottle of water and it was around $30. Also, they do not just offer tap water only bottle water which does not make sense to me. If you are looking for a quick lunch that is a little more pricey, but good then you should check this place out. read more

If you are from the Philly area you already know that anything, or anybody from the south claiming to be a "Philly Cheesesteak joint" you are gonna say " yea right " ! I will admit I did say " yea right" followed with other choice words (Bulls**t store, f**kin impostors), and I was wrong. I admit it, I was wrong after walking in and seeing South Philly in front of my eyes with all the Philly paraphernalia. We come to find out that owner and his wife moved from S.Philly to here and opened this up. Ok now I feel at home, and they had whiz to back it up.. the appropriate kind The menus had all different kind of cheesesteaks they make including one called "The Whiz Wit " we all know what that is in case you don't whiz= cheese , wit= onions (knowledge bomb ). All kinds, even chicken cheesesteaks, pretty creative and they all sound good and tempting. When ordering fries go with the cheese fries, nothing like a nice ladle full of whiz to cover those little guys up. Myself I went with the bacon cheesesteak wit , and I will say this was a great choice. Ample amounts of bacon (for the bacon fans) mixed in with the meat chopped just right and cheese melted all in with the onions adding more flavor to it. Another thing that is good is their wings, great flavor to it, nice little zest to it, nice sized wings. Place was kinda busy seeing and us coming thru the door really made his night with our order. Also the prices were up there in price , 10 dollars for a 12" (large) and 7 something for a 6" (regular). We all went with the large , because in our eyes that is the regular. In all for OBX and N.C. this is a great spot, a touch of Philly for the people who crave a good cheesesteak. This place will be visited again when we come down for that crave. Still Philly is Philly and for what its known for, they might do good if he brought his unique ideas back home. read more
