    Chicken Philly
    Jaimee M.

    I came here because of the reviews. It's a small local feel type of place. I ordered a chicken Philly with mayo and it was really good. It was seasoned well and came out steaming hot which I liked. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a cheesesteaks. They also have a veggie option.

    This place is right up the street from where we live, so I have been wanting to check it out for a while. Has great Yelp reviews and a good recommendation from our neighbor, so I finally decided to stop by. The service was quick, friendly staff & really good food. My husband and I both got a cheesesteak then shared an order of fries and boneless wings. I had to bring half my sandwich home as it was really filling. A lot of meat & the roll itself was great. The restaurant was clean and the food was fresh/hot. Being that it's about 5 min from our house, we just may become regulars! I highly recommend.

    I wasn't expecting much because let's face it...ALL cheesesteaks pale in comparison to Gino's and Pat's. Yes, I said THAT! This was a pretty solid cheesesteak. Unfortunately, the grease hang over and extreme heartburn was real after the meal. Since this is a rarity for me, it left me a little lackluster from the dining experience. I would probably go back sometime to try another one of their incredible shakes though. The options are unlimited.

    Came here because a friend highly recommended. So glad he did! Amazing, friendly, prompt service. This place is hopping- so you know it's good. Lots of locals. I chose the Philly with chips and a giant coke. Everything was delish! They don't skimp on meat or cheese. The roll- OMG THE BEST! If you get a chance, definitely check out this place. Very reasonably priced as well. $13 and some change for this lunch.

    Annual Visit to Bradenton... = A stop at South Philly! The food is on point ... every visit regardless of which location we choose. 34th street was the winner this trip! Service is always Top Notch... the food ... 10 out of 10 ... soft bun... finely chopped steak, peppers & onions... mix in that creamy cheese & boom... DELIC! Oh how I wish you would expand to Fort Wayne IN! Well done South Philly ... you have the quality dialed in .. clean restaurant , kind team members , & delicious food! A must EVER visit to the area!

    Garlic Bomb Chicago Italian beef sandwich!

    Florida's best Chicago Italian beef sandwiches! Nice little patio. I've also ate inside when it gets too hot. Service is spectacular.

    Great cheesesteak South Philly Cheesesteaks now has a restaurant in Sarasota which I still want to try, but today I was up in Bradenton with an opportunity to grab a late lunch. Unlike my previous review, I arrived at such an off time there were only a couple of other customers. They offer table service for dining in, which is what I did. My server was right over, and I was ready. I love cheesesteaks and did spend some time in Philly, and ordered a Philly Cheesesteak Wiz Wit. I also agreed to the hot peppers. The sandwich was ready in a quick 4 minutes. The sandwich was great. It was made with bread from the Amoroso Bakery, and like I described in my previous review, a filling that was so finely made that it was more a smooth mushy consistency than a textured shaved ribeye. Not something I remember having in Philly, but a great flavorful sandwich nonetheless. It did dawn on me the Wiz part of my order didn't seem like Cheese Wiz. I checked the menu and there were no cheese choices, just lists White American. I learned they don't have Cheese Wiz at this location, a lack of demand, but they do have it at other locations. I look forward to trying my Wiz Wit line at their Sarasota place.

Same smell we know locally. My wife told me that she witnessed the manager spraying something near the other bar patrons behind me as he went toward the kitchen. She knew I would be so upset about it that she did not point it out at the time. I just curled my nose and thought about another seat or to vacate the premise. It dissipates quickly so we tried to be forgiving. The tab was inflated by a drink never ordered and they charge extra for Tajin on the rim of your margarita without notice or justification. So we needed the owner to approve the corrections of the bill. We were told that it became a "flavored" margarita when Tajin is added to the rim in place of salt or no salt. Then we got the "costs are up" story that we have not heard before while ordering my margaritas anywhere else. The waitress did manage to get in a few "I don't make the rules, I just work here" clip that we read here in other reviews. So my wife was pissed and our return visits are now very unlikely. I am not happy either but was looking forward to coming back for liver and onions with our stepfather very soon. Doubtful now. Poop stench in the face, spraying chemicals in the dining room during service and nickel and dime issues make it hard to justify taking our family back here. That is what disappointed me the most. I know this place had a real chance with us at first. Probably not now. ‍

I generally like ordering food that is named after the restaurant, thinking it's an item they are particularly proud of. It wasn't hard for me to decide to select their The S.O.B., a smoked bacon and blue cheese sandwich. In under 10 minutes our food arrived, and it was super good. With a brioche bun and all the toppings this was a tall burger. While I tried their natural cut fries from another plate, very good, I had ordered their coleslaw. That was an outstanding side with red cabbage, a bit tropical, a bit sweet. Service was wonderful, she was friendly and willing to chat while it wasn't busy, and did an excellent job with drink refills and handling the check stuff. They do have a service charge for using a credit card but that was easily removed when I paid with cash. The décor was rich, in that the walls were covered with $1 bills. Gives the place character.

Great food, awesome beer selection, and love the vibe! Had the dry rub wings today along with a couple hazy's. Excellent! For those posting negative reviews, I urge you to give them another shot. We were there the night they reopened after Hurricane Milton, as it seems were half Lakewood Ranch! It's an understatement to say they were slammed! They were doing the best they could given the circumstances. Yet there was a table close to us that found fault. Give it a friggin rest people! Everyone is entitled to have an "off day", especially after a Cat 4 hurricane rips through your area! Inner Compass didn't have to reopen as quickly as they did. But they did anyway because they were serving a real need. If people don't see that, then that's on them! I've never had a bad meal there. Yes, occasionally service is slow or less attentive but if you look at the wider picture of what's happening in the moment, there's a real, legitimate reason. People, don't just get stuck in your own bubble and actually take time to observe what's going on around you! In the meantime, I plan to go to Inner Compass as often as I can for my ICB Beer Cheese Burgers and Hazy Boys!

Just beer no food(I showed up late) The table decided to move into the bar area after the meal around 20 mins later after we had already closed all table bills. At the bar ,One gentleman in the group ordered 3 beers and pays cash. The red headed waitress then came over to the bar area after about another 15 mins had passed and said she didn't charge me so she placed a $24 tab to pay. I payed confusingly. As The Bar was closing the group left but before I left the parking lot I checked my banking statements. I Saw the double charge. Walked back in and told them there was a mistake. Their response was "our mistake. Let's correct it." Sound good so far, I even went as far as saying the 24$ tab was the mistake because the time stamp on the processing but the waitress came over and deliberately chose the higher amount to charge me because the tip was higher for her cash out. Smh. I really did like the vibes but that experience is very telling on morals and values. Really did enjoy the beers too..sad.
