    Cheesesteak Bomb with fries
    Brandon R.

    Great cheesesteak with even better customer service! Definitely recommend making a stop in.

    Old world Italian with THE sharp provolone.

    A Pensacola tradition. Excellent subs and cheesesteaks. The service is amazing. I highly recommend the sharp provolone on your sub.

    Damn good and spicy with the hot peppers added!

    This place with the food is a 5 the only reason I gave a 4 is because of the price and a little bit of a wait time but the food .... Damn this cheesesteak is amazing ! It needs the cheez wiz to make it officially a cheesesteak from Philly but everything about it ! Delicious. This large with a drink and fries will set you back 18 bucks ... a little expensive in my book but it's good .

    Pay $48 for 3 meals and they wanted $.50 for a sauce... dumb and stingy. This place used to actually fill the sandwiches, now they are going down hill!! I also paid extra for hot peppers... do you see any on there lol? Needless to say, I won't be back and wouldn't continue to support businesses who up charge for a dab of generic, off the shelf, Frank's Hot Sauce. It's unfortunate when prices get gouged, guess .50¢ is worth more than repeat business these days

    NOT "Chicken Parmigiana" tiny shredded up dry chicken mixed with marinara?! How Bizarre. Worst in my LIFE. Do NOT recommend.

    This adorable little cafe & local business is really neat. They make the original "Philly cheesesteaks" just like in Philly complete with the original Philly bread they ship from Philadelphia. Their signature Philly cheesesteak is very yummy indeed, hubby & I can split one as they are all on 12 inch original Philly hoagies. If you order the combo meal you can get super yummy fries. Their fries are very good. Every time we have had them they came super hot & fresh, fried to perfection. However, the really great sandwich here is "the Italian" it's a cold sub with Turkey, ham, provolone, salami, pepperoni, lettuce, tomato, onions, oil, vinegar & Italian spices. It's def their crown jewel. The best cold sub in Pirate'cola. Hubby's & my fave. We have ordered it several ways & we thinks the best way is to get the extra onions & hot peppers bc we love the extra veggies, get the oil & vinegar on the side bc we love to put this sammy in the Frig or cooler for the beach, let it marinate. Of course it's good soon as you get it also, but it's even better when you let all those flavors come together in the Frig/cooler. Plus you have your extra oil & vinegar on the side for later. YUM! :)... Now for the bad news. The "chicken parmigiana" is not a chicken parma sandwich at all. It comes dry tiny shredded up chicken "flakes" so thin & so horrible I thought it was chicken bacon at first. But it's not shredded bacon it's paper thin shredded fried dry chicken flakes mixed into tomato sauce. How bizarre. The worst sandwich I have ever had in my life. To the owners of Philly's: We love your adorable little cafe & you make the best "Italian hoagie" in Pirate'cola. We are def big fans & look forward to supporting your business often. I love your fries & ice tea also :) However, your "chicken parmigiana" sandwich is not a chicken parmigiana sandwich at all, you know it, I know it, and anyone that eats it knows it. I wouldn't wish that sandwich on my enemy. Chicken parmigiana is a whole piece of fried chicken topped with moz & marinara. Not paper thin dry as a bone shredded like paper "chicken flakes" mixed with tomato sauce. How bizarre. You can't call that "Chicken Parmigiana" when it's clearly not Chicken Parmigiana. I would NOT have ordered it if it was described on your menu & as you are preparing it. I was shocked how bad it was. Just Bizarre. Horribly bizarre. You should take it off the menu. Trust me, it's for your own good. The worst sandwich I have ever had in my life. I'm sorry, but what your serving is not "Chicken Parmigiana" I want to make it perfectly clear to everyone that it's not in any way anything close to Chicken Parmigiana so they won't order it just to throw it in the trash can. It's really that bad. "GET THE ITALIAN HOAGIE. It's their crown jewel. It's the best cold sub in Pirate'cola. Will return to update my review." Queen of Pirate'cola approved.

    Great Philly Cheesesteak.  Somewhat small portions for the price..

    Was really looking forward to trying this place after hearing buzz from friends that it's a must try. Have to say a bit disappointed. The Philly itself was pretty good. Didn't care for what it seemed like a lower grade of bread used. The portions were slim for a large sandwich. I am starting to notice with the cost of food products now, they have no choice but to scale back the servings or raise prices. Most small businesses now are doing a conjunction of both. If you read most of the latest reviews, that is the complaint and not the quality of the food. From what everyone has told me, this family is from Philly originally so they definitely know the drill. This place will remain around because of its loyal customers. Will be back at a future date to support them.

    This place used to be the bomb but the last two times I have been there I watched as the loaded the produce on other sandwiches but when I got mine it had barely any. This last time I place my order with the owner and told him about my last experience, he said I must have gotten someone else's order. After today, I believe he was blowing smoke. I have been a loyal customer for about 15 years and I feel like I got slapped in the face. It will be a long time before I return. Does that pick look like the one from someone else's review? I think not.

    Cheesesteak Bomb with fries.

    Absolutely amazing food and great service. Definitely give this place a try. I got the Cheesesteak Bomb combo and it did not disappoint.

    Best cheesesteak I've had outside New Jersey, thank you. It's an hour drive for me but worth it every time I get a craving.

    It's been 6 years since my 4 star and gotta report that this spot is a solid 5 and continuing to…read moreimpress!!! ​My honey and I were already regular locals back then, but over the years they have somehow continue to kick things another level when you're not paying attention :-); The Philly cheesesteaks are still the absolute gold standard around here, which is saying a lot coming from someone who used to live right in Philadelphia and knows the real deal. I have a few faves like the cheesy mushrooms and the BBQ shrimp, and nowadaya you can't just look at the regular menu. You have to check out their daily specials board because they are constantly knocking it out of the park with creative new dishes and fresh catches. ​The atmosphere is just even more welcoming, but the outdoor seating is much improved with some sand and stage, perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze. They updated their operating hours too, so they are now open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM. Whether you want to escape the usual tourist trap seafood lines, watch a game on their big screens, or just grab a ice cold beer, or really strong drink, with friendly folks, this place just keeps getting better. If you haven't been by lately, you are seriously missing out. Highly recommended!!! 5/26/26
