    Roasted Pepper Italiano
    Lilly J.

    The roasted pepper italiano hoagie is amazing. I had been craving an italian hoagie for so long and it was perfect. Sometimes when italian hoagies don't have any veggies it gets a little too salty for me, so the roasted pepper added on was *chef's kiss* The portion size is also great - a "half" size is about your average hoagie size (footlong?) and the whole is enough for 2 people to share, or a really, really, really hungry person. The cheesesteak was also solid and delicious. My out-of-towner friend said it tasted a lot more healthy than he was expecting a cheesesteak to be (I guess he was expecting a greasy mess?). He was also hilariously sassed by calling it a "Philly" cheesesteak. Overall would definitely recommend coming here for a great sandwich. Will need to try other items on the menu.

    Philly cheese steak (hoagie)

    Was on the hunt for a cheesesteak, didn't want to go too far from where I was, so landed on 'the fresh works'. Was able to order by phone quite easily, and my order was ready upon arrival. Cheesesteak Hoagie filling was flavorful and the the meat portion was the right amount. I didn't love the bread, as I tend to lean toward a tougher vessel for cheesesteak to avoid the inevitable soggy sandwich vibe. Did love the hot peppers that I asked for on the side. Super flavorful and probably the best I've had in Philly. It was almost like a minced jam but it packed a punch of heat and spice.

    Best wings I've had in a long time, fully cooked crunchy mild wings. Cheesesteak was great too but definitely would return for the wings.

    I found this place recently and I am never letting go. On a quiet side street, find your new solution to lunch sandwiches, cheesy appetizers, chicken wings, or really anything you might want. Delicious and affordable mega fries, amazing 2 foot hoagies, and the panzerotti was a delight as well. Roast pork sandwich and blt were my favorites.

    I drove by it because it sits sideways to Belgrade. Very tasty meat. Well priced. There were at least 6 Philadelphia police officers eating the whole time I was there. They were coming and going, very good sign. Very good standard cheesesteak.

    My parents and I were on the way back home to DC, and at the last minute we decided to find a Philly Cheesesteaks spot. My father quickly google searched the best in the area and he found The Fresh Works. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak hoagie with provolone cheese, mayo, hot peppers, lettuce, and grilled onions. It was AMAZING! The roll was so fresh and you could taste the butter on it. There was a lot of meat on the sandwich and just enough toppings. We didn't even make it out of the parking lot. Honestly, I wish I would have gotten two so I could have it for lunch the next day. I can't get back to Philly fast enough to get another one.

    The hoagie was decent but for the price they should spend a bit more for the quality of their meat's.

They recommended Nick's, one of their local spots. Glad they did! The space is nothing fancy, but it was nice to have a table by the window to people watch as we enjoyed beer and eats together. The music was good, but at a level we could have a great conversation. The roast beef sandwich on a Kaiser roll was tasty, although I'm more used to it on a hoagie or slightly shorter sub roll. That being said, my reco would be like we did - go for the superb (wow!) smoked, dry rub wings and onion rings with Sriracha aioli. (Note - The light, large rings used a Tempura batter.) Both items were totally awesome! If you're in Olde City, definitely should consider stopping by Nick's friendly bar & grille.

We arrived with a party of 7 and no reservation but were seated quickly with no hassle. The bartender appeared to be doubling as the server but took great care of us. The menu and draft beer list aren't extensive but what Nicks does they do well. There were enough selections to accommodate everyone, including a vegetarian member of our party. My waffle fries were to die for. Nicks is a great spot for a solid meal in the heart of Old City Philadelphia.

And I will say it was a little better than I remember last time. I got the works with mushrooms, peppers, onions, and provolone. On this one the beef was a little better than last time. The roll is a little too soft for my tastes. It doesn't hold up as well as others. But it was solid. It's still not in my top 10 in the city. But it will go on my more recommended list.

Campos is a small strip fast food dine in that appears to be well kept in and out. unfamiliar with the social popular attraction this restaurant gets.. but i chose to eat here as it was closest to us after visiting the adventure aquarium (great aquarium i recommend it) so that we could try authentic philly cheesesteak but sadly i was slightly disappointed and here s why: before i give my opinion i'd like to state i got a the italian cheesesteak rather get a simple cheesesteak and that's my mistake there but after noticing no prices were marked on the menus i already felt off about it. in total my gf and i each got 1 sandwich and a fountain drink bringing the total up to 49 dollars.. i didn't have time to react but seeing the prices set my expectations high. i was expecting to be blown away by being served the messiest cheesesteak i'd ever eaten so gooey and greasy it'd take years off my life but when we unrolled our sandwiches i was immediately let down. sandwiches didnt look appetizing and the italian cheesesteak tasted like i was eating one large cooked broccoli. there were peppers in my sandwich that had a whole lot of heat which i enjoy in a good sandwich but the heat came with no flavor and was too intense for me to taste and enjoy even the overwhelming broccoli flavor from the sandwich. i will say the sharp provolone was delicious when i could taste it but sadly that's all i take from my sandwich. my gf got the cheesesteak hoagie and says the flavor was good and enjoyed her sandwich but feels the price is ridiculous for the quality and i sadly have to agree. if i'm going to spend more than i would at applebees.. yes.. applebees.. for food that wasn't as good as applebees then i expect to be blown away. staff was average they weren't rude no complaints there. the store is air conditioned and well kept considering the very limited seating due to high traffic with pictures and painting on the walls with some historic look-backs to its earlier years. Overall i won't base my entire opinion on philly cheesesteaks from this review. i've heard from locals and family that you want to find the food trucks that serve cheesesteak as they have what i'm looking for. will i come back here? no. -update: the owner posted a comment to my review saying i should get out more then began to compare prices to other places that might just have better food i've never received this type of feedback but this is also my lowest rating so far so i'm i guess i'm not too surprised.

It's possible the bagels weren't fresh when we visited (Tuesday morning). I ordered a cereal latte and a mango smoothie. The coffee was fine but not something I'd order again, while the smoothie was really good and something I would recommend. While dining in, the overall presentation felt more like a cafeteria experience than a sit-down café. We were given plastic to-go utensil sets, plastic cups, plastic straws, and our food was served on a baking sheet. The overwhelming use of plastic felt underwhelming for dining in and didn't align with the price point, especially when the average coffee + bagel total exceeds $15. Service: The staff was friendly overall, but not very mindful of professional behavior while working. While the atmosphere is meant to be relaxed, one barista was sitting on the countertops and taking personal calls on speaker, which felt off-putting as a customer. Ambiance: It's a nice open space with great natural lighting and plenty of seating. Overall, it's a good place to work, hang out, and get caffeinated.
