The service was swift and reliable, we had our food at the end of five minutes. The portions are generous and very filling. I had the new fried pickles and it was delicious, crunchy, and it had a good pickle after taste. My mouth was watering after the first bite. I also got to try the Phil Steak Sandwich, the bread was soft and the texture was immaculate. It was a wonderful steak and cheese combo! They had Philadelphia memorabilia all around the restaurant, it was fun looking at history and seeing them represented in the restaurant. Also the restroom has two ply toilet paper and it's clean, it was a solid restroom. Would recommend 5/5, it was good, a nice experience for the whole family. read more

My good friend said this was the best cheesesteak sandwiches in the area. The service is counter order and they were very polite and helped make our order perfect. The place is small but clean. Now the food. I have spent a lot of time in Philly and I will say this is as good as it gets. If you like cheesesteak and haven't been here yet you are seriously missing out. We got the 18 inch cheesesteak with Velveeta, we also got the ranch, bacon, french fries, and cheese curds. I will say this was one of the best takeout meals I have had in a while, and I would be happy to come back here if it wasn't for the fact that I would gain weight like a madman eating here every week, so I definitely give this 10 out of 10. read more

Even though they have stated hours, they can not maintain the inventory they need to stay open for their posted hours. Three days in a row I have driven here just to be met with the attached sign. Management needs to do a much better job of properly stocking the restaurant with enough food to maintain their posted hours or shorten your hours. It's false advertising to post you are open to waste my time to drive there to see you have nothing to serve... I've only had pitiful and poor experiences with this restaurant!

The Philadelphian Port Charlotte: It took me a while to get up there as it is a little bit of a hike from where I live. I always wanted to get to this place as I heard it's one of the best sub shops in the area. We walked in on a Friday near 12 noon and boy was this place busy. Luckily we found 1 table that was empty but shortly after there was a line out the door for orders. Even though the place was maxed out busy it was very clean and organized. We did order our subs and french fries fairly fast. I ordered the 12 inch Italian Sub with fries. My wife ordered the ham sub with fries also. I figured it would take an hour to get our food but it came out in a reasonable time. Still all the tables were filled and the line was smaller than outside the door. The sub I got was unbelievably good. It tasted fresh and I looked at the innards, the lettuce and tomatoes were all fresh even the bread was fresh. My wife's sub was the same way we both loved our subs. The french fries were good and not burnt or cold. I barely got my entire sub and fries eaten as it was a lot of food for one person. My wife had to get a box to take her leftovers home. If this place was near where I lived I would be over there ordering a lot of subs. Next time there I want to try the cheese steak as they looked amazing. If you're in the area you must stop by this place and try it you will not be sorry. I give this place a 4 out of 5 thumbs up. if I could give it a 4.5 I would. Like Arnold said I'll be back and boy I can't wait. See You On My Next Adventure Gulf Coast Terry... read more

Amoroso rolls...... Best cheesesteak in the area, these steaks are as good as Jim's on South Street in Philly. Delicious meat, the onions were perfect and the roll was delightful. The Philadelphian has that South Philly mom and pop sandwich shop smell and ambiance, the walls are lined with Philadelphia sports memorabilia and a picture of Frank Rizzo! Definitely worth going to the Philadelphian every time you're in the area, you won't be disappointed. If you're a 4 for 4 Philly sports person and you need that cheesesteak fix, you gotta stop by. They even have Herrs potato chips, the only missing was a good selection of tastykakes but, that's OK. GO BIRDS!!!! read more

Very pleased with the Cheesesteak for lunch! They put in a generous amount of meat so it makes it worth the price of the sandwich. Their sides weren't too great though. The fries definitely needed salt or seasoning of some sort and was a tiny serving for almost $5.. which I didn't even bother with them. The new cheese curds were also just alright, but didn't love them and wouldn't order those again. Definitely sticking with just the sandwich next time. They had a lot of to-go orders going out, but still were able to help those in store quickly. read more

The Philadelphian? But the first thing on the menu was a cheesesteak with peppers and mushrooms. I'm not sure if they're referencing Philadelphia, Tennessee or Philadelphia Illinois, Indiana or Missouri. I'm from South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; And now I know of makes a cheese steak with peppers and mushrooms unless you specifically ask for them. Then you're gonna get an eyebrow or two. The following south Philadelphia cheesesteak places would not default to a cheesesteak with peppers and mushrooms: Jim's, Nick's, John's Roast Pork, Oregon Steaks, Lorenzo's, Frankie Luigi's, Angelo's, Philip's etc.... This sounds more like a steak and cheese sandwich from D'Angelo's out of the Boston metropolitan area. read more

No servings or too small that's for sure. The ambiance was nice and we could see our menus for 2 old men. LOL they have blackout shades and pulled those out in the late afternoon, and it made the room a bit better. If anything, I think they could throw a little bit of romance in the air. Maybe some battery operated candles on some of the tables. But otherwise the music on the TV screens with accompanied videos was really delightful. Dating back from the 50s and playing jazz and other songs from The Rat Pack with a few others like Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse. It was a great time and we will definitely be going back. And if you sit at the bar and have a pizza, they take $3 off!

Charlotte County Girlfriends decide to have lunch on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 @ GINA's Pizza Bar…read morein Port Charlotte! We were 35 girls who were served by two wait-staff Sara and Casey. Immediately our smiling servers offered our attendees water with lemon. As our girls entered they received a warm welcome and greeting. Offered seating to their preferences. Many choose to random sit at different spots so they have the chance to meet our newcomers! Drinks were served a few chose the delicious expresso martinis, others wine, beer or soft drinks. Gina's offers this wonderful bread with olive oil and multitude of herbs. Yum! Appetizers were their wonderful hot pasta fagoli soup, mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce, etc. As you will discover in the pictures there was a full array of entrees of salads, pastas, pizza, and more. What was most important during our lunch is the bonding of girls solidifying friendships! Brand new and strengthen relationships of girls they've met before. There was PLENTY of smiles, joyfullness, laughter, and great cheer! It was an extremely successful enjoyable lunch and if you'd like to join Charlotte County Girlfriends, all are welcome!

We both ordered the special beef pho, I ordered with double meat. It came with a plate of veggies/toppings. We shared the dumplings which were really good. We also had the flan for dessert and the 5 layer dessert (was it 7 layers? I can't remember) which has jellies, cream, shaved ice, sweet beans of two types and gelatin. It was not too sweet, difficult and messy to eat, and nothing I've ever had before. I would say it's a locals kinda thing. It's good but I would not order it again. The flan was as expected- smooth and delicious. I didn't finish my soup. They packed it up perfect with the veggies/toppings on the side and the broth separate from the meat. The container was spill proof. Lots of parking. Bathrooms were clean. Restaurant is busy and could be a little cleaner but it has an open, casual atmosphere.

You know they are a good breakfast spot when people are waiting at 6:15 for doors to open. We had…read morebreakfast here a few years ago and enjoyed it; wanted to go back but we don't eat breakfast often. Prices were higher this time, understandably. They are still better priced on a basic breakfast than other places nearby. I wanted to try their eggs Benedict even though I've only ever had it maybe 2-3 times in my life! I'm not a good person to judge since I'm not really sure what hollandaise should taste like! It was more tangy tart than I expected. The eggs were cooked the way they should be and the ham was thick. In my memory, it should've had a stronger ham flavor, as I think Canadian bacon is the traditional meat and I was hoping for that. But even eating a piece of the thick ham by itself, I couldn't taste a salty smoked ham flavor. While I found that disappointing, I couldn't take a star away because visually it looked great, and I imagine a lot of people would love to see that thick slice of ham even if it is too mild! Don't judge it by my photo because I broke my yolks and stirred them up before I remembered to take a photo. The grits (my choice of side) were just like I like them. My husband got a 2 eggs breakfast with home fries (?) sausage and toast. It was a full plate of food and he enjoyed it. They have home made strawberry jam (yum!) and I will for sure get breakfast with toast or biscuits next time just so I can have some of that jam. I did put a little bit of jam on a couple bites of my English muffin from under my Benedict. The coffee mug was tall so my husband appreciated that; and the friendly & attentive server, Melissa, filled it before empty, as needed. We will be back "sooner than later" hopefully, because there's more I want to try on their menu. I do recommend going here for breakfast especially if you are an early bird or find yourself out and about very early for some reason like we were, and need a breakfast. I think they might get crowded quickly, so early is better. Note that their hours were not accurate on the iPhone maps app - I submitted correct hours and it's pending approval. However I used the website hours and one of their days I think it was Sunday - was showing closed at 1 but it's actually 1:30.

The meatloaf was very good and came with a bbq glaze and some bbq sauce on the two slices. The mashed potatoes are real, you can tell because they leave the skins on! My wife also had an order of the potato pancakes with applesauce. Those were fabulous! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, done beautifully. They also provide a small bowl of applesauce which was very good and we appreciated the amount. I had tow biscuits with gravy, two scrambled eggs, and hash browns. In my opinion, they have the best biscuits and gravy in the area. Gravy has plenty of flavor and the biscuits are soft and flaky on the inside, yum. Chasity was our server and she was fantastic! Got our order right, checked back to make sure everything was good, and offered good conversation.

The sandwich was really slapped together and not great. Huge chunks of steak, funky flavor. Cashier asked if I was tipping before he made the sandwich, which is shady. When I leave a tip it'll be for a reason not because you put me on the spot dude. Itd be great if you could make the sandwich really awesome and then ask for a tip. Doubt the owner knows his guys are doing it though. read more

This is my go to place when I'm craving a cheese steak! Coming from Philly, I'm pretty picky when it comes to the cheese steak. Theirs is delicious. Comes with white American, choice of toppings. Other cheese choices including cheese wiz. It's the real deal, and I'm addicted. Italian hoagie is the most authentic I've had, since I've been down here. Two thumbs up! read more

Last week , our son wanted a footlong sub from there, on his birthday, so I ordered three footlong subs that my husband would pick up on his way home from work. Chicken Ranch BLT add pickles BLT extra veggies Tamiami Turkey no bacon The girl repeated the order to me over the phone, so I KNOW she had put down what I ordered. My husband called me on his way home and said the kid handed him a bag and said he was good. My husband trusted that person, and said "Wow, 3 subs for $59.89???" (Sub total $47.16, plus tax , and $9.43 tip.) I pulled out the subs when he got home. There were 4. I ordered 3. The BLT and Chicken Ranch BLT were the only things even CLOSE to being right, but just a sprinkling of lettuce on the BLT, and no added pickles to the Chicken Ranch BLT, and really, really MESSY subs. They're usually really nice looking, t.v. commercial -grade. The Tamiami Turkey wasn't made at all. AND they made an Italian and a Ham Turkey Club that I didn't order. I called to rectify the situation, but they closed early. I left a message stating my disappointment, then left my name and number and asked for a return call. I didn't receive one.
