    North philly and fried cheese sticks. Very good!
    Terry B.

    Very good, unexpected find! North Philly Cheesesteak was great! Highly suggest checking it out.

    Aloha Y'all, yup still in Texas. Driving from Dallas to Waco stopped in Waxahachie for lunch. Thank you Yelpers for great reviews of this cute little town and great Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. Great price and value. Worth the stop and this town is so adorable. Enjoy!

    I love a good Philly! We made a quick stop here for a quick dinner. Got two gigantic Philly sandwiches. Decent prices especially for the size. They are loaded with meat and cheese and whatever else you pick. The meat was definitely salty, I was so thirsty all night. But the food was very good! Lots of flavor and made to order, so it comes out nice and HOT! We are not from around here, but I would stop again!

    Holy cow, my husband and I are so happy we tried this out today! The restaurant is very nice, calm and relaxing. It feels homey and welcoming. The person who checked us out was very kind. My top compliment, of course though, is the food! This is probably one of the best Philly cheesesteaks we have ever eaten (if not the best)! We got the Texan Philly and the bacon & cheese wedge fries, and we were absolutely mind blown. We took it to go and immediately started eating in the car. Everything was spiced amazingly well, and we even put the rest of our Philly meat (that had fallen out of the stuffed sandwich) onto the fries which made for a better experience. I'm looking forward to going there next week again, and many more times after that! It was truly a great experience!

    Food is still great and the cook is as sweet as could be. They take phone orders so you can always call your order in and pick up. Broadsheet bully and Texan are still the way to go along with the bacon potato wedges.

    Service was very good the food was very tasty and just what we asked for I thought I was back in Philly

    Both cheesesteak 8in verses 12in.

    This place is definitely a "GO" we went on a whim to try something different. My company and I had wings and cheesesteaks and they didn't disappoint. The bread was amazingly soft. The sandwich was nice and tasty with a decent amount of I wished I would have gotten the larger one as the 12in is definitely worth the price verse the 8in. The mango habanero and lemon pepper wings were also ordered and they were delish. The price was totally worth it and the taste was great. A 10 equal to WingStop wings.

    This place is located in downtown waxahachie and is family owned. I have had Philly cheesesteaks in the heart of Philly and these ones here did not disappoint. It was pretty empty when we went in so we got our food quickly. We were told they had sweet potatoes fries and unfortunately they didn't. Besides just telling us that and that's it they actually gave us free mozzarella sticks and bacon and cheese fries instead, didn't dissapoint. I will definitely be back here

On our drive back to Austin, we decided to stop here based on the stellar ratings - easily the best decision of our trip. Our table ordered quite the spread: crispy mozzarella sticks with that perfect cheese pull, golden onion rings with just the right crunch, two juicy burgers cooked to perfection, and two kids' chicken nugget meals that disappeared in minutes. But the star of the show? The Philly cheesesteak sandwich - an absolute masterpiece with tender, flavorful steak, melted cheese, and perfectly sautéed peppers and onions that had us fighting over the last bite. Here's how good it was: I literally ordered another Philly cheesesteak to go before we left. I couldn't bear the thought of not having one for later! Every single item exceeded expectations. The portions were generous, everything arrived hot and fresh, and the quality was restaurant-level despite being a roadside stop. This is the kind of place that turns a routine road trip into a memorable experience. If you're passing through, don't think twice - pull over and treat yourself. Your taste buds will thank you!

Bar area is dark & had TVs blaring loud with FIFA on. We would have watched FIFA but also wanted to be able to hear each-other so we went in the separate restaurant area which was light & comfortable. We were immediately brought chips, salsa, & a mild cheese sauce. The chips were thick & not too salty. The cheese sauce was good and unexpected. The salsa had a strange twang to it - couldn't eat it. (Wasn't sure if it was supposed to be that way or spoiled). My Mom got and enjoyed a small tortilla soup. Lunch specials during the week for $9.99 I got the #31 Guadalajara plate- chicken quesadilla, ground beef tostada, & rice & beans. Rice and beans were cold. Guacamole tasted packaged. Good amount of meat in the quesadilla. Waitress was pleasant. Pay at counter when you're done. Our waitress didn't tell us to do this or give us a tab to take to counter. We just finally assumed this is what we were supposed to do after she cleared our plates and never came back. Waited 24hr before writing review incase I got sick. So far so good.

They weren't busy and so I didn't feel like I had to rush. The only issue was the girl at the register. Idk what her issue was but I asked "do you guys just have turkey sandwich " which she just looked at me sideways and points at the menu. Then got annoyed because I "didn't see it ". It literally took me a minute to even see that it was under "classic subs". Like damn. My bad. Anywho. She the goes "is that what you want ?" With an attitude. Ma'am calm down. Then I told her my toppings and I asked if they could put pickles in it. When I got my sandwich it had no pickles. I had the pickle spear but I also wanted the diced pickles. I mean am I going to flip out about pickles? I mean I caaaaann since I freaking love pickles but I wasn't. The sandwich was good though. Can't complain much about that. It's the service that I had an issue with. They weren't very welcoming to begin with. The restaurant was clean though so I give them that.

They even provided extra oil/vinegar since we were eating back at the office. Good service, good food. Checks all the boxes!
