    Fried Mushrooms
    Kristyl H.

    We wanted sandwiches before the RSL game and ended up at The Philadelphian. My husband and I had been here before, but it'd been quite some time so we thought we'd give it another try and it was delicious. My husband ordered the Philly, while I got the Turkey, Avocado, and Sprouts and my son chose chicken and fries. Oh let's not forget the side of fried mushrooms. The sandwiches are filled to the brim and you can tell that the fries are fresh cut and delicious. I would definitely go back to The Philadelphian, but this time try a hot sandwich.

    I was in Sandy and craving cheesecake so I decided to go try this place and was not disappointed! I should've ordered the 4", I ordered the 6" but they gave me the 8" which is pictured below, with the half order of fries, which was huge, I couldn't eat it all! Was so much food! Delicious but so filling! Service was great, but A/C is lacking so don't go in and eat on a hot day if you need it to be cool. Price is comparable to other steak sandwiches of same quality, but these guys don't cheat you on quantity of meat that's for sure! Go check em out.

    The cheese steak was very good. However if you love Onion Rings don't buy theirs. Mine were greasy, burnt and non etiable. Lynn

    The service was decent, the place was busy, but there was plenty of space to grab a table and eat. There was a tv in there with a movie on, some Utah magazines to look at and a soda fountain. The establishment appeared to be clean. The Philly sandwich was huge! It was stuffed full of steak and toppings. It had all the good stuff I like on a philly; steak, cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and onions, and topped with hot peppers, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo. But it needed a bit more mayo and it could have used a bit more flavor in the steak. Salt, pepper, garlic? I don't know, but something. But I did enjoy nonetheless, i would cone back, I'm curious to try other sandwiches and their unique onion rings!!

    This is a hole in the wall spot in Sandy. Old and worn out, nothing fancy, you can see them prep and cook right behind the cashier. Unfortunately their Philly cheesesteak wasn't the best I've had in salt lake. Their other sandwiches are good though. English chips are awesome. Huge portions. Congrats if you finish any 12 inch sandwich in one sitting. They're generous with their proteins. The bread they use is super soft, but not the best for a cheesesteak. This place will hit the spot if you need a big sandwich or fried food

    A true Hole in the Wall kind of restaurant- it was a very busy Saturday night when we came for our 1st visit! People here are supper nice and we decided ahead of time to order a 8 inch Philly and we weren't disappointed! Our Philly was full of meat and spicy pepper just as we ordered- it was so yummy and we will be back to try their home made onion rings and English chips (. They were out of English chips and awaiting a delivery). They were crazy busy but the staff was making a huge effort getting orders out ! Can't wait to try some of their other menu choices so we'll be back soon. Glad we gave them a try

    Never been before but was in the area on my way to a job interview in Draper. Got a cheesesteak with everything, and a side of onion rings. My food came out quickly, and tasted delicious. Service was friendly and respectful. Perfect, no frills kind of place for lunch. I definitely recommend.

    Man, I wish I could give The Philadelphian a favorable score, but it just didn't hold up. The sandwich toppings were good. Unfortunately, that's it. The bread was tough, generic, slightly-sweet hoagie bread. Bread means a lot on a Philly, and they went with the lowest quality bread available. The store itself is also greasy and dark, feeling unclean and unkept all around. Some would argue that's exactly how a Philly shop should be, but it's certainly not for me.

    This little hole in the wall restaurant is amazing. The atmosphere is not anything to write home about however, the food is great. The sandwiches are full and flavorful the deep fried mushrooms are one of a kind. Both the sandwich and the mushrooms were served hot very hot. I had to let them cool to be able to eat them. I've eaten here years ago and I still just as good as it was back then.

    Hot combo. Perfection

    We LOVE the sandwiches. We order out because the place is definitely No Frills. They have just gotten too expensive for what you get.

    We went there once.... Cheasesteak wasn't a true Philly as it was made with roast beef and tasted different. Never went back

    I love the shredded cheese they have on the cold sandwiches and, of course, the Philadelphian sandwich, fries, and fry sauce!

    I really want to try this place, and I AM from Philly... where every joint has HOAGIES and also Cheesesteaks... am I wrong, because I am not seeing any Hoagies w/ sweet peppers on the menu?

    I'm also from Philly. Do not waste your time. None of the employees or owners have any ties to… Read more

(I should have written this review years ago, to be honest!) The sandwiches are consistently phenomenal... premium meats & delicious cheeses layered perfectly on fresh, flavorful bread. I'm a fan of "The Old School," but honestly you can't go wrong with any of the options. And no surprise, just like the downtown SLC location, the staff are friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. They keep things moving smoothly yet never make you feel rushed. This location is a bit calmer and more relaxed than their downtown SLC location. We all know Holladay is...affluent, and their village is such a cute area that invites you to slow down and enjoy your meal. And, of course, the market is half the fun. Imported Italian specialties, incredible chocolates, and loads of pantry items...We always leave with something we didn't plan to get. Amazing food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back. A true favorite of ours and easily one of the best lunch spots in the area.

    Caputo's in Holladay instantly gives old-world vibes -- the kind of spot that feels like it's been…read moredoing things right for generations. It actually reminded me of the markets I visited in the Czech Republic when I was a kid -- that same warmth, authenticity, and attention to detail. I ordered the Whole size "Old School" and took it to-go. This sandwich was delicious: The Italian cold cuts, Cacio de Roma cheese, lettuce, tomato, olive oil, balsamic, and a roasted red pepper spread that tied it all together beautifully. No heat, just a touch of sweetness -- and I was into it. The bread held up perfectly without overpowering the fillings. Every bite was balanced and satisfying. And then... the tiramisu. Silky, rich, heavy on the espresso, not too sweet, and just enough cocoa to finish it off right. Easily one of the best I've had in Salt Lake. Service was friendly, fast, and genuine. Whether you're wanting to grab lunch or treating yourself to a little dessert moment, Caputo's delivers quality without trying too hard. Beyond the food, definitely check out their awesome inventory too -- the shelves are full of unique, high-quality imports, snacks, and specialty goods you won't find just anywhere. A little up there in price but SO worth it! I'll definitely be back!
