As anyone who follows me knows, customer service is a huge thing for me and the wonderful crew at this place do not disappoint. I had driven by here numerous times always saying "I need to stop there." OK, so I finally did thanks to having lunch with my daughter and a friend. The atmosphere is casual, the people friendly and the choices plentiful. I opted for a Supreme Cheesesteak which has mushrooms, onions, and green peppers. It was terrific not as wet as I am used to for a cheesesteak, but packed with flavor. Lili gave her thumbs up to her grilled cheese, she has less complicated taste than her father. We chit chatted with one of the owners a bit before leaving. Again, one of the great things about the place, it's family owned and they are hands on owners. Highly recommend for lunch. read more

Philly Time - Supreme Cheesesteak. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I am a long time customer of Philly time and I enjoy the food service with a smile. They make you feel welcome.

Good sandwich and wrap spot for a quick lunch. The service was pretty quick in taking orders and getting them out. If there are more than a few customers at the same time, it can get a little crowded at the door. I tried the Cajun chicken and I thought it was going to be actual pieces of chicken, but it was sliced deli chicken. The dressing was good in the wrap, but I didn't catch the cajun flavor. All in all, not a bad wrap. read more

The food was alright 1 teriyaki chicken and steak combo. The meal was filling, cheese was melted and sandwich was warm. The issue there isn't any flavor literally thrown together and juices were pouring out of my sandwich when I just picked it up. The bun was crushed and soggy. It was just a meat sandwich with I've never eaten at this place but as far as all the sandwich places I've eaten at this one by far is not one I would try again. I ordered through DoorDash so service really wasn't added into this too much. But that's my take on it it's food and it filling and fairly cheap if you go in store for it. read more

A true Philly sub on the wonderful rolls they actually use in Philadelphia, this is a nice little place hidden away up north in Briarcliff -- directly across from Piropos. They have tons of different Phillies to choose from. I got the Supreme, which has mushrooms, onions and peppers. It was delicious. It's very nice and clean inside and the two ladies working there couldn't have been nicer. I was there during a slow time in mid-afternoon on a stormy day and we had a blast chatting while I ate. They have unusual hours, closing at 3 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays so check their times before you head out. read more

Philly Time - Supreme Philly with fries and a drink - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I have not been here for years and I remember why. 2 regular Philly, 's , 2 Fries, 2 regular drinks - $38.40 + tip. Meat does not cover bun. Fries were HOT and good. Now the bad part. woman who took order went outside (we were the only ones in restaurant) smoked and talked on phone for 20 minutes, came back in and started handling food without washing her hands. Another employee handling meat was wearing gloves but touching cabinets , picked up something off floor and continued handling meat. For this reason, will not go back. Service was quick but the smoker had zero people/customer service skills. Other options including a chain with better food and value. read more

Might be bias, as I worked here several years ago and never had a Cheesesteak before...well amazing!!!! And I have tried others since but nothing COMPARES to a Cheesesteak from Philly Time!!! And some VooDoo chips!!! Amazing staff, an owner is a great guy! And all the different cool clocks around the place make it fun! read more

Philly time Is a great option for lunch. The employees here are very friendly and the service is always fast. This is a great option if you want some thing besides fast food or a good sit down for lunch. The chicken Philly and fries is very filling. I typically can't finish both so I save half of my sandwich for the next day. read more

I'm starting to become a regular here. Food is good. Service is fast and friendly, even when there's a long line (this also speaks to how good it is). They have a great selection of philly sandwich options, wraps, and even grilled cheese or nuggets for the kids. The place is clean and well kept up. read more

Philly Time - The double meat, South Street! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

We have visited a few times including yesterday and this place is consistently a great place to get a Philly. Yum!

The BEST CHEESE STEAK IN TOWN! Hands Down! I was looking for a great cheesesteak place to make a regular stop. And this is the Place to be!

I was out riding my motorcycle through KC and came across Philly Time. The sign said authentic and I've been wanting to try a good Philly place for a while, so I took a menu. I finally decided to check them out and ordered a Deluxe Chicken Philly and was disappointed when I got it home. The Philly was DRY. Very dry. So dry that I had to add my own mayo to the sandwhich from home. The chicken didn't have a lot of flavor and there was hardly any cheese. I wasn't a fan of the bread either because it was a little chewy. My friend had ordered a different chicken philly and hers didn't have much cheese in it either. I'd love to give this place another chance but it's kind of hard to when they give you 2 dry sandwhiches. read more

Found this place randomly searching for places on my lunch break. It is in a convenient location, didn't take much time to get there. I walked in, went to the register told them I ordered online. I'll even give an extra star (3-4) just because they carry bags of Zapp's chips (mm-mm good!). !! it didn't come on a paper plate !! My chicken Philly was actually wrapped in foil, and my fries were in a food boat that was wrapped in a bag. I just reheated so. BOOM! The plate ! Anywho! Nice place! I would go back. Wasnt the best Philly, but wasn't the worst either. read more

Philly Time - Naked Philly Cheesesteak (Chicken) & Fries - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I feel bad I haven't reviewed Philly Time before but I really love this place. Recently, I've gone Keto so the last time I ordered, I just asked them to leave out the bread. You can also get a bed of lettuce if you'd like. I honestly expected to get a skimpy portion without the bread but it was pretty generous & oh so delicious! They have a LOT of different options for Philly sandwiches (I recommend the cream cheese and the one with white American cheese and the blackened one, ok they're all great)! They also have great daily specials & yummy onion ring bites! read more

Philly Time - My Keto Deluxe! So delicious! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Customer service has went down hill extremely! I Called 2/22/24 3:15pm to place a call in order I was told by the older female to go online & view information, pricing & just come into the store & order they weren't busy at all (which I see why) when I asked her a question she was very forceful like she did not want to answer my question about the prices nor the additional toppings as I haven't been here in almost a year! I go into the store & order well the other younger female PUT ON PLASTIC GLOVES, TYPES ON THE CASH REGISTER TO RING ME UP $25.99, I SWIPE MY CARD, SHE THEN TAKES THE RECEIPT & PLACES IT ON THE COUNTER, & LITERALLY GOES STRAIGHT BACK TO THE KITCHEN & STARTS COOKING MY ORDER SHE DID NOT WASH HER HANDS NOR SWITCH GLOVES I FOLLOWED HER & WATCHED HER THROUGH THE OPENING JUST TO MAKE SURE! I asked for a refund IMMEDIATELY! That was disgusting & not proper sanitary for a restaurant! You touched 3 items then handled my food NOT OK. & I still haven't received my $25.99 refund back on my card yet! I Definitely won't be returning! There use to be an older gentleman that was the owner he was a nice great guy! read more

A-OK! I tried this place out with my coworker for lunch. It was small and only a couple of tables were vacant. The cheesesteaks were all priced at $6.99 for regular and $9.49 for double meat. I ordered the Original Cheesesteak while my coworker ordered the South Street Cheesesteak. We both made it a combo (came with a drink and a side) but I ordered fries while he ordered onion rings. I think the price of the combo changes depending on what side you ordered because my combo was $3.28 while his was a little bit more than that. I ended up paying $11.30 total. The Original Cheesesteak tasted good to me but nothing special. My coworker told me that this place used the right kind of Cheese Whiz in his South Street Cheesesteak. That's good to know and he said the size was the same as the ones in Philly. The fries were alright with ketchup but I wasn't feelin' the steak sauce. I even dipped my cheesesteak in the steak sauce but I didn't think it complemented well. Overall, I thought this place was okay and be prepared to pay over $10 for your food unless you don't combo it or order anything else. read more

I traveled to the Briar Cliff shopping area today to try a philly cheese steak from Philly Time. I had never been in this area for anything, but this is a really nice area. There are several shops and restaurants within walking distance so it would make for a nice couple hour outing just to check everything out. I walk into a small restaurant store front, with maybe 8 small tables and a counter to order at. The menu is pretty simple; mainly philly sandwiches (yaay, I found the right place) and some sides and a few other non philly sandwich options. They also have a daily special, but none of those really struck a chord with me. I decided I wanted to take in the biggest sandwich they had, the Monster, which has triple meat, onions, peppers and mushrooms. It was so big that I took a fork and ate half of the filling before trying to pick this thing up and eat it. So, as stated half the filling is gone, it pick up the roll and dive in for the philly experience. It was wonderfully meaty, cheesy and just the right amount of seasonings and veggies. I was also impressed that with all that meat, and that I let it sit on there for 5 mins or more while I picked away at the filling, that the roll was not soggy at all. It held up and was soft and chewy, perfect vessel for this monstrosity of meat and cheese. I also ordered some Onion bits. Onion rings cut into bite sized pieces. They were good but paled in comparison to the sandwich. Next time I'll order a smaller philly and prob skip the side, but Overall it was a great lunchtime getaway. read more

I like this place because it is very consistent and it is always very good, the bread is fresh, and ingredients taste good, and the wiz is correct. Only thing I wish was a little cheaper but I don't mind paying the lil extra for the double. read more

Tucked up in Briarcliff, this shop is delish. $7.99 for a regular size (which is plenty) + $3.29 to make it a meal with a drink and fries. Hot and made fresh to order - you will get a gooey bite of cheese with every bite. They don't skimp on the meat either. Win win! read more

This is such a great tasting Philly!! Big shroom with double cheese is da'bomb! A true Philly cheesesteak up in Briarcliff. Check it out!

Terrible representation of a Philly CheeseSteak... I know we are dealing with COVID but if businesses are going to turn out food like this just remain closed! read more

This Philly Time opened a month or two ago, I'm not sure if it replaced the one on North Oak or not. The establishment itself is a lot nicer looking than the other. I'm guessing this was mandated by the uber-classy Briarcliff Village management. Aside from looking nicer, the food definitely seems to taste better. I've gone about three times now and have been pleased with each of my phillies. They also have a decent assortment of wraps and sub sandwiches, which I'm told by co-workers are also good. Service has been excellent on my visits. On one visit, the guy taking my order erased it out and re-input it to ensure my cheese adjustment was reflected correctly. A second time, the cook was unsure and actually came out to ask rather than throwing it together and leaving me annoyed when I got back to work to eat the wrong sandwich. read more

Since moving here, I have been searching for a decent cheesesteak in Kansas City. I am from Philadelphia and realize nothing compares to the real thing, but Philly Time wasn't too bad. I admire their efforts for authenticity. I have two places on my list that import Amoroso rolls from Philadelphia (the essential ingredient for an authentic Philly cheesesteak). One is Philly Time, the other one is Grinders, which is talked about a lot more among locals. I decided to try Philly Time first, since it is not as well-known. I got here on a weeknight around 5pm, and there was basically no one in there. It is located in a shopping/dining center with other retailers, not sure what else was around, but I did not see the sign when I was first pulling in. It actually looked closed, and I was mad for a second, as I drove ~25 minutes to get there. It was indeed open, just a bit dark in there. Of course I ordered a cheesesteak with cheese whiz (another sign of authenticity) and fried onions (the "South Street" without green peppers). I got a side of fries, and my total was around 10 bucks. I sat and waited to get my cheesesteak to go, and it took about 10 minutes. The place has a decent amount of seating, seemed more like a lunch place. I grabbed my cheesesteak and made the ~40 minute trek home. I was excited to have an Amoroso roll for the first time in a long time, and unwrapped my beautiful cheesesteak. I was really happy to see the cheesesteak did not get soggy. This place does know technique and correctly put the cheese in-between the meat and the roll. My cheesesteak got a little cold, so I do expect it to be better if eaten immediately after prepared. I also noticed the roll was a little stale, but that is somewhat expected if importing a roll halfway across the country. But seriously, a stale Amoroso roll is much better than a fresh "soft" roll that many restaurants serve. I look forward to trying this place again after finding out what day they get their shipments and eating in, rather than taking out. I can completely understand the 3-star ratings from people who have not had an authentic Philly cheesesteak before. Philly Time certainly was not the best sandwich I've ever had, and it probably is a 3-star experience if comparing to sandwiches in general. However, I really appreciate the effort to bring in real Philadelphia Amoroso rolls and offering cheese whiz. If you want to experience a decent authentic Philly cheesesteak, try one at Philly Time. Thank you, Philly Time, keep it up! PS: The fries were kind of crummy. They were crispy but tasted freezer burnt. I suggest skipping those! read more

Went to this place today for the first time and then came home and read other people's reviews. Wow, I must be fairly easy to please because I thought my sandwich was great. I love the soft roll (and when I read that they bring them in from Philly, to be authentic, I understood why it seemed so perfect). I had the sandwich that has just the cheese, meat, and onions. It was excellent. Loved that it didn't get greasy like some cheesesteaks I've tried. The cheese was perfectly melted, the onions cooked just to the right translucent sweetness, and that meat was great. Whoever thought there wasn't enough of the meat, I'd hate to think of what it would be like to have more. Mine felt stuffed with meat. Next time I come I'll definitely add mushrooms to my sandwich and maybe even some green peppers. The fries were so hot I could barely eat them. But that's ok because one thing I absolutely hate are tepid fries. For checking in on Facebook, I got a fifteen percent discount on my order. That was easy and a nice extra benefit. I came at about 11:15 and there were plenty of tables to sit at. Later, the crowds starting coming on, so glad I got there early. The prices are pretty reasonable and the employees friendly. Bonus: the Briarcliff area is beautiful during these spring days. Lots of nearby flowers and budding trees to enjoy while driving to and from Philly Time. read more

I had the Bayou Steak Philly with fries. It was delicious, I don't care if it was "legit" or not. The bayou sauce was incredible and I even got a side of it for my fries. I had about a 20 minute drive back to work before I could eat the sandwich and it wasn't soggy at all even with the creamy sauce added to it. All in all, this is a great place to get a Philly. The meat was flavorful and tender and there was plenty of it on my sandwich. I will definitely be back again. read more

Love this place! Fast to order & fast to get ur food. Order any of the subs...they're all great!

I had a really nice lunch here. I was craving a Philly Cheese Steak and I was able to get one made fresh and hot. The place was busy and I was able to get a good parking spot. The tables were clean and I was able to sit and eat in peace and catch up on some email on my phone. My sandwich was good, exactly what I expected. The restrooms are clean. I will go back. read more

Philly Time - Pretty good Philly for being naked. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Firm 3.5 stars. Service was a little bit slow since there were only two guys working during the 11 o'clock lunch hour. One upfront, one in back. I ordered a regular steak bayou Philly combo with fries. The Philly itself wasn't as big as I had originally anticipated. The "bread to meat" ratio is pretty equal, I think next time I'll do the double meat for the extra charge. I absolutely loved their fries! Not overly salty and the perfect texture. For $11 bucks and change, Philly Time has wedged itself into my work rotation. read more

Philly Time - Steak bayou combo with fries - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I heard a lot of great things about this place so I decided to try it. I enjoyed the flavors, pricing and options. However, the amount of meat I had in my philly did not even fill up from end to end. I had both ends to where there was just bread and no meat. The service was great and the food came out fast, but not sure I would go back since I didn't get what I paid for. read more

My husband and I ate here for lunch this past Friday. I had the Bayou chicken Philly, which was tasty, but also very stingy on the meat. To me, a great philly sandwich has more meat than bread, but this was the opposite. $23 for lunch is a bit pricey, (2 sandwiches, 2 fries, 2 sodas) but I would definitely eat here again--just ask for extra meat. read more

Philly Time runs a satellite location at my mother's office building across the street from their main location at Briarcliff. Last month, she, and a few others, bought food there and were puking sick by the end of the day. It was reported to the manager (John) who did come and speak with her (and the others). After his conversation with them, he spoke to the worker at the kiosk and said that the people "were probably making it up" and that being sick wouldn't hurt my mother anyway because "she could stand to lose a few pounds". Since then, still nothing has been done in terms of quality improvement. Philly Time regularly uses meat well past it's expiration date. I know this because a worker has been frequently reprimanded by John for throwing outdated meat out (and was recently let go because of it). He apparently thinks it's OK to serve the public meat that is bad. To this date, people have still gotten sick, and John still refuses to do anything about it. I have sent Philly Time a letter expressing my outrage. I have also forwarded it to the Health Department. Anyone who eats here is taking a risk with their own health. That sandwich you are eating may have expired meat. Do you want to take that chance? read more

I was in the area early one morning and swung by and saw that they had Italian beef's on Monday's, which you can only get in Chicago. So I stopped by Monday night and boy was it worth the stop. It's been a long time since I had a beef and while it's not as good as in Chicago it was the closest I have found in KC. Remember only on Mondays! read more

Not cool, Philly Time. I thought I'd take my out of town guest over to enjoy a good sandwich. What we ended up with was not that great. Both Philly's were wrapped in something that made crepe paper look like cardboard. I just picked 4 jalapeno stems out of my sandwich (The Spicy). My chicken was super dry and instead of spreading the cream cheese throughout the sandwich they chose to drop a huge pile in the middle. My guest said he had so much sauce on his (The Supreme) that it rendered his bread useless. For the price you pay, these really should be better. I'll give them another chance but they are off my list for taking visitors. read more

After jonesin' to try this place, we finally made our way on Friday. I let the bf get the Philly, while I tried a Reuben. (I carry an opinion that if a sandwich place can nail a Reuben, they can nail anything.) First strike against Philly Time is the price. Almost $10 for a sandwich and chips. Over $10 if you get a drink. My sandwich was fine. But it wasn't great, certainly not $10 good. Had a bite of the Philly ... also fine. While I'd go back if someone suggested it, I was underwhelmed by the quality for what I paid. read more

I was in a hurry and needed something quick before an afternoon meeting. It was about 1PM and, with the exception of a couple of carry out orders, was empty. I ordered a classic Philly. (if you're going to judge a Philly place... order a Philly) The staff was prompt and friendly. My sandwich was pretty good. My only complaint is that I think my cheese was a pasteurized cheese product, which is one of my least favorite things. I also felt that for how expensive the sandwich was (7 bucks, no sides) kind of small and lacking in the meat department. I was, however, impressed with the overall decor. It had a pretty modern feel and felt clean. If I was in the area again I would give it another shot, but as of now I am on the fence. read more

We stopped in for lunch and were not disappointed. They have zapps chips which are our favorite so that is a plus. The Phillies were good and the ingredients fresh. Will be back again soon. read more

These guys get their rolls shipped in from a bakery in Philly. Apparently it's not an authentic Philly cheesesteak if it's not from this particular bakery. I can't speak to the authenticity but I can say my cheesesteak with peppers was DELICIOUS! My sandwich was juicy and flavorful, and the bread was pretty soft yet crispy and perfect compared to other cheesesteak buns I've had. I like the regular cheese better than the cheese whiz. read more
