Reiteration Review Time: Philly's Cheesesteak's and Hoagie's This place needs no introduction as to being the "best" and most "authentic" cheesesteaks and hoagies in town, with a wonderful owner and an amazing staff to back him up. Luckily we have three locations to enjoy these wonderful sandwich's, which is the original location on Creighton Road, 9 Mile Road close to Pine Forest, and in Pace right on Highway 90. But one more thing, I love about this place, is the different and out of the ordinary beverages you can have here, which my favorite is the orange creamsicle soda. I was made aware today the Creighton location will be expanding, in the future, next door to where the old convince store was. I am so excited about the expansion, because it will give more customers a chance to eat at the restaurant. Also the owner said he will be installing a handicapped restroom in the expansion. Overall rating: as stated before the best and most authentic cheesesteak and hoagies in town...the onion rings were phenomenal; and yes I ate both of these sandwich's today (10/10)... read more

Philly's - Menu - Sandwiches Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

A fantastical hidden gym in the Pensacola area. I'm not from Philly but my dad used to make them when I was growing up. The Philly cheesesteak I had here reminded me of his cooking. Great! I definitely recommend for a quick bite. Good service and good environment. read more

I love that they welcome everyone to bring their personal defense in the building.. I've been coming here for years. There is truly no need to get extra cheese on your cheese steak despite that being an option. The perfect cheese steak has hot peppers and onions added to it. They sell birch beer which is a great alternative to root beer. I end up spending about $15 for a cheesesteak send side for two people with a drink. I'll never not come here when I'm in Pensacola. read more

The best cheesesteake around town!always hot and fresh! Service is always on point! Very friendly staff. Onion rings are delicious as well!

This place is so good. It's not even close to us and we go because it is totally worth it. The onion rings and Philly's are the best we have found. We went through a Philly phase and went to a bunch of places lol. This is the best! read more

They were extra busy tonight. I've been patronizing this business close to 5 years. The quality that made me love them is dwindling. Ordered extra meat. Standard meat portion. Seems like on Friday night maybe more staff to keep up with the demand. Love the new layout! read more

We found that place on yelps and we tried to give it a go and we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was very good. The servers was good and the atmosphere was great. We talked to a couple of local people and they all love it. I would definitely go there again when I go back in that area. read more

Delicious sandwiches. Seriously it's a hole I'm the wall place that serves the best phillys I've had. I come every time I visit Pensacola and take everyone with me and no one has ever had a bad experience. Delicious crunchy fries and the have orange dream fountain soda! Soooo good!!! read more

I ordered the Philly cheesecake and was absolutely disappointed. To call this sandwich a Philly cheesecake is a embarrassment to the sandwich itself. There was no onion, peppers, nothing. Just meat, cheese, and bread. Kids didn't even like it. I also ordered an 2 Italian sandwiches and just like the Philly, it was very very plain. No one ate the sandwiches and that was waste of 75 dollars. Horrible! read more

Philly's never disappoints. First time at the original store on Creighton. I have to say the quality, taste, and appearance are consistent at all 3 locations. Which is no easy feat. I think the pace location is my favorite service wise. The folks there just seem happier and more caring. But all 3 locations are 5 star in my book. read more

This place was packed when we went and there were only 2-3 people working, but they were so friendly and efficient! We ordered to go, took it home, and the bread still wasn't soggy and everything was hot as well, it was the best Philly we've had so far! read more

Very delicious these subs made you feel as if you just received a juicy tasty sub straight from Philly!!! I was very impressed; don't let the store front fool it is truly a gem here in Pensacola. Not much room in side but you also have an option of seating outside to eat also; excellent food made fresh to order just how you want it. Can't wait to return! read more

I normally go to Jersey Mike's when I'm in p ensacola but was over at the Publix at nine mile so thought that instead of getting back in the truck and driving over to Jersey Mike's pop into Phillys . I'm not going to critique the food because I never got any (although I paid for it. They take,my order and sit 20-25-30 mins. Meanwhile 15 -20, more people come, order pickup and leave......I mention this to the cashier several times and he says one or two minutes . Three mo re people come by. I ask again he says two more minutes but there's nothing on the grill. I'm outta there Got my sub in 5 mins at Jm. Lesson learned: If you're a disabled Vet want to be ign Ignored a d disrespected and HUNGRY . PHILLYs is your place. Gary Schwartz .CTRC (SW) USN Ret. read more

A great neighborhood joint that has expanded recently. Service is professional and quick and the food will keep you a repeat customer for years to come! read more

My favorite in Pace, Fl! My personal fav is the Philly cheesesteak hoagie!! Eat it fast before the crispness gets soggy. Btw try the onion rings. read more

I went here on behalf of my company for a large pick up order. The order was faxed well in advance. By the time I got there, 2 of the 15 sandwiches on the order were done. I waited for probably almost an hour until I was finally at the front desk, I understand that it does get busy there but the way they went about things was very bad. Used the company card to which I was not instructed to leave a tip. Guy at the counter was heckling me on why I didn't leave a tip. I had no obligation to do so and he gave me a hard time for it. Then insisted I should leave a tip, when I questioned why he got visibly irritated and just left a rude remark saying "Look, if you wanna leave a tip, leave a tip. If you don't, don't." I had several drinks to fill up for all parties involved. I didn't really think about how he spoke to me until I was on my way back to my workplace. Dude was a total asshole. It's no wonder why there was a help wanted sign. Guy was prioritizing phone orders when there was a huge line in the store. Didn't help any of the other workers as well when there was a moment to do so. Very inefficient workplace, it seemed rather chaotic. Even if I wanted to leave a tip, I wouldn't. It was some of the worst customer service I'd ever seen. I'd much prefer going to the Philly's on nine mile, frankly. Food there is good, customer service is absolutely horrendous. Do not recommend if you have any self respect. read more

Best Philly steaks on the east coast!! Quality and service are both superior. They are happy to customize pretty much any way you prefer.

Food is great every time I go to Pensacola I make this trip to stop and pick me up a Philly and they give u a good portion

Literally the best Philly Cheesesteaks I have ever had in my life!! A friend of mine lives TWO hours away from here. He drives to get them and brought me one to try. I was amazed at how good they were. I worked a travel job in Pensacola and would get them after work :) The staff are friendly. The only thing I didn't like was one night I did a to go order. After I paid I realized I forgot to give me the side of ranch. She ended up charging me again for it, but not big deal. I highly recommend trying this place. You will not regret it. read more

Best Philly cheese steaks in town. They have expanded there restaurant for more seating and a chill atmosphere. They are located in the neighborhood so great local spot. read more

Delicious and authentic Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. I've been to both the location on Creighton and the one on W 9 mile and both are good. read more

Hands down 1 of the top 5 places to eat. The food is great and the employees are wonderful. It's laid back and family friendly. Very enjoyable read more

Great food and great service! I got a large fry and it was loaded with fries, I highly recommend getting the roasted red peppers on your Philly! It is very good! read more

The best way South of Philly!The Cheese steaks and Subs are so good. You'll be happy you found Philly's.

My husband and I visited this quaint little cafe - it was Clean & the original Philly sandwich was yummy delish on a Fresh hoagie - of course the gal that greeted us, had a SMILE on her face and was very friendly!! Love going to these kind of places and as regulars came in, she greeted them by name.... Shows she cares about her customers read more

I ordered their 6" combo with jalapeño poppers I got a Philly cheesesteak with peppers and onions and this food was hot and fresh as could be. You can watch them make it the kitchen is right in front of you. Also, the jalapeño poppers come with what tastes like homemade ranch (some of the best ranch I've had) and you have a choice of cream cheese, cheddar or half and half. I will DEFINITELY be coming back. The price is not bad for what you get either. YUM! read more

This place is great! I've been coming here for almost three years, and haven't had a bad thing yet. My go-to sandwich is the philly steak bomb. It's pretty amazing. I have never tried a philly sandwich in Philadelphia, but I've been told by someone who has that this place makes an authentic one. So, if you're looking for the real thing, look no further! read more

Food always great, service at the Creighton road location is excellent! Love their stuffed jalapeños, Italian sub and meatball sub! Yummy!

This place is probably the go-to at least once if you're ever in the Pensacola area. Right down the street from O'Reilly's pub so when you're done eating you can go get hammered on a full stomach. The location is sort of small, that's the only downside but really nobody cares because this place is so damn delicious. Me and my girlfriend ordered a 12" cheesesteak and cheese fries. Best. Sandwiches. Ever. They make every sandwich shop feel bad because they can't make a good Philly. Damn Subway scorches my bread a little when they toast it, Jimmy Johns is straight up trash, Jersey Mike's I never had and probably won't at this point because they don't make a good Philly like Philly's. Both locations are delicious but this one you can definitely tell how much hard work they put into making their sandwiches. If only they made Mahi Mahi cheesesteaks like Crabs. read more

Philly's Cheesesteaks & Hoagies on Creighton produces great sandwiches. The challenge is for them getting your order correct. My advice is take everything out of the bag before paying. Chances are the missed something or the sandwiches aren't right. Save yourself a trip back to get the order right. Inspect your bag before you leave. read more

Idk who thinks Velveeta cheese is the right choice for a philly, but it's not. It is Florida after all...but it's not why this place gets 1 star. It's covid season still. None of the workers wore masks, nor did they require it. Just lost a close colleague to covid. Idk why people down here think it's something not to take seriously. No hand sanitizing stations. But, hey, you can open carry there...because that's what will keep you germ free. Just moved here and this place got recommended. But, it's a lie. I watched for a bit, because the service had we waiting and just didn't feel like it's a clean place. I worked on the service industry, and I am sure they could do better. Be better. Or change the name. It's not real. read more

Decided this give this place a try based on a friends recommendation. Small little place on the outskirts of Pensacola. Was in the area so I decided to try it. The food was hot and fresh and the root beer soda was pretty good! Seating was a little crowded and there were not napkins readily available. If you are craving Philly cheese steaks I would recommend you come here! read more

Philly's - 12 inch Philly and chicken Philly - Sandwiches Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

I have been a Philly's customer for what seems like 20 years and I can honestly say that they are the best buy far when it comes to cheese steak sandwiches. The only disappointment is that they're not available for any delivery service. I'm hoping one day they will be. I will be one happy girl if so! read more

This place is the most authentic Philadelphia as it comes, I grew up there my whole life & after moving here this is a breath of fresh air! They have it all (everything that you crave up north) Birch Beer, Tastykakes, and even the best cannolis read more

Like this place a lot. Honestly, I have had the opportunity to have cheesesteaks in some of the best places in America. This is not quite in that league, but certainly the best in Pensacola. Ok prices, friendly people, quick service, and it's always hot and satisfying. read more

The new guy working the grill is rude and miserable. I also got food poisoning last time I got food there. I'll get food here again when they fire this mew strange cook guy. He always looks red in the face. read more

Let me tell you. I saw that this place was the place to go if you wanted a real Philly cheesesteak. I just want to say thank the sweet baby Jesus I decided to give it a try. I grew up with Philly as my back yard and I have not visit home in over a year, so it was a very amazing experience for this homesick individual read more

If it had not been for Yelp we would have never found this wonderful little gem! We were down here for a "mini" vacation and got tired of the touristy, over-priced crap they pass off for food here on the beach. Plus I really wanted a cheesesteak as I was already blowing the heck out of my diet. Anyways, went to Yelp.com and typed in local restaurants and up popped this business. 4 1/2 stars and the reviews were very helpful! So we decided to hop in the car and leave the tourist trap and check it out. I'm SO VERY glad we did! Fed the whole family for $40! This is about 100 bucks cheaper than any meal we've had here this weekend! We had 1 large cheesesteak, 1 large cheesesteak with onions and mushrooms, 1 6" tuna, 1 6" chicken cheesesteak, 1 large order of delicious onion rings, 1 order of jalepano poppers (half cream cheese, half cheddar) a bag of chips and 4 drinks. Food came out fairly fast and was piping hot. Loved that you could see the whole kitchen, especially since it isn't in the greatest building in town ;) The restaurant itself is VERY clean. The lady that took our order was really friendly and kept checking on us. We told her we had found them through Yelp.com but she didn't know what it was so I wrote it on the back of someone's business card so they could check out all of the wonderful reviews they had recieved. Don't let the building deter you. If you want great food at a great price be sure to check them out! Definitely worth the drive from the beach area. Don't be surprised if you have to wait because they were really busy even at almost 8 o'clock. Bring cash or a check and be prepared to leave full and happy! Be sure to tell them that Yelp girl, Christina, sent you! :) Happy munching! read more

I've been living in the Pensacola area for almost a year now, and have learned to lower my expectations of food around here. This place however, was a very, very, very pleasant surprise. I had driven past this place tons of times, and even though their sign says "A Taste of Phily", I would think, "Yeah right. A few months ago a friend told me about this place, told me the owners are from PA and have their supplies sent to them from up north. Always a good sign, but I had heard it before. So yesterday I was hungry and driving through town and decided to give it a chance. Immediately the atmosphere and staff reminded me of pizza/sub joints in New Jersey. I checked out the menu, the prices were great for a sandwich in the area - food is really overpriced down here. Although I waited a while for my sandwich, I didn't mind, the whole operation takes place right in front, so you can see them working hard pumping out sandwiches, and could see how many orders were before me. It's primarily a take out place, with just a couple of small tables inside and out. When I received my Cheesesteak, with onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers ($4.80 - 6") with my can of soda ($.65), I breathed a sigh of relief. Finally!!! A real, honest, delicious sandwich with good quality bread, plenty of meat, a good proportion of cheese - and it was all done right. I can't wait to bring my husband, and feel a little bad I discovered this without him...well....not that bad :) I was going to compliment the older gentleman working the register, under the assumption he was the owner, but it started to get really busy in there, so I figured I'd catch him later. I can't wait to try their Italian or Old World. They also fill cannolis to order and sell whole kosher dill pickles - I believe these folks are doing it the way it should be. *Cash only, but there is an ATM inside. *Call ahead if your in a rush. *As a response to the review that mentioned steakum's. I didn't see any evidence that they use steakums. They advertise as using boarhead products, and I thought the quality of ingredients in my sandwich were great. Behind the counter you'll notice a deli slicer. It is very possible that they slice their own steak and freeze it for easy storage. Although I can't image they hold inventory very long. read more

High quality food, fairly priced with good portions. Onion rings are perfect. My only knock is limited seating and lack of water from the beverage dispenser. read more
