3 stars is an overall average score for this place. The Philly Cheesesteaks are a 5, the best west of the Mississippi. I have no idea what anything else tastes like because I order the traditional Philly every time, it's that good. 1 star for the restaurant itself. It's the filthiest place I've ever seen. I honestly have no idea why the Health Department hasn't shut them down. I would NEVER actually eat there for fear of my health. Having sex with Ke$ha is probably less chance of disease. I place my order to go and close my eyes while I wait for it. read more

Great sandwiches, but onion rings need some work. All batter. So much batter. Sandwiches are great in any variety, with any combination of things on it (go fully loaded). read more

Place is to die for! Only thing is since covid they don't keep the fry sauce out! This place is the best cheesesteak place to date

How has this place not been condemned by the health department? I'm 100 percent sure I found asbestos in my sandwich. The wait was excruciatingly long and the food was not good at all. 3 of the 4 co-workers are juggalos and should not be allowed to handle food. read more

Excellent food, people and vibe. Huge portions and delicious sandwiches. Will most definitely be back to have another Philadelphian read more

The Philadelphian - Sandwiches Near Me - Sandy, Utah

I have not eaten here in years, the last time i went i could only eat a couple bites before getting noxious think about them taking my money and then going and cooking food, without gloves or washing their hands. This place is absolutely disgusting. I'm not sure how much they pay the health inspector to keep them open. Every time there's an inspection they have multiple violations. read more

Best Cheesesteaks in Utah! Quality meat and quality bread. The interior is a little rough but the food definitely makes up for it. Lots of fries come with your order. Beats the local competition. read more

Went here for lunch with a friend. We ordered a large onion ring and 2 8 inch Philadelphians. The sandwiches were huge, with tons of meat! It was pretty good, but in comparison to a place like DP Steakhouse, the flavor was a bit lacking. I'm not a fan of the onion rings, it was kind of like corn dog batter. I prefer them crispy. The food was super greasy, I finished about half the sandwich and a couple onion rings. It's great for the price, but the flavor would be about average. Service was ok, we went during the lunch rush, it took a good 15 minutes for our food to come out. read more

Holy shithole batman! This place is disgusting!! Food maybe good? I turned and walked out after seeing the slime. Starts at the front door and I'm positive the back is worst. Calling the health dept in the morning. read more

The Philadelphian - This is your lovely view while you eat, CLEAN YOUR NASTY GROSD GREASY BUSINESS!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Sandy, Utah

This place is gross.... period. How can thy call themselves the Philadelphian when they don't use the right beef, zero cheese wiz, and puts pickle and mayo on their sandwiches? My office has bought these twice and I have never had a worse cheesesteak in my life. The meat is cheap and has no flavor. The standard mayo pickle, and lettuce ruin the entire flavor. The bun has no crunch and soggy. Save your money and tastebuds!! People who give this place 5 stars have obviously never had a real cheesesteak. read more

The Philadelphian - Yuck - Sandwiches Near Me - Sandy, Utah

Greasy dive, cheesesteaks! Quick service, friendly employees. They serve cheesesteaks with provolone cheese, no cheese whiz. I had the Philadelphian, served with grilled onion and mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, hot peppers and a1 sauce. Sandwich was good, typical fast food cheesesteak. English chip fries are pretty good. You will smell like a greasy dive after eating here! read more

We've been going here for Philly cheese steak fix for nearly 20 years. The Philly cheese steak is phenomenal! However, I wish it was a little more wet and the bun was a little thinner. Overall, you can't beat their Philly cheese steak for the money. They are definitely not skimpy. On a side note, I'm not a fan of the fried onion rings or the fried mushrooms. They're too bready for my liking. read more

Has a pastrami sandwich was really good a little hard to eat because of how packed it was but was over all good. The tables were dirty tho and over all th place wasn't clean. Loved the food and service though. read more

The Philadelphian - Sandwiches Near Me - Sandy, Utah

If your looking for good greasy philly sandwiches this is the place. I think they have the best cheesesteaks in town. Sandwiches come in 4, 6, 8, or 12 inches which I love. The restaurant is old, grimy, and outdated but if you can get past that you'll love this place. Everything is made to order so there will be a wait. read more

The Philadelphian - Philadelphian Steak loaded with fresh fries and fry sauce - Sandwiches Near Me - Sandy, Utah

This place deserves more than 5 stars, it's always been not the most beautiful establishment but the food speaks for itself. The line is always out the door and the food is incredible! The fried mushrooms are amazing too! read more

Huge fan of this place. Massive sandwiches, pretty good prices, and they are so tasty. They serve fresh cut fries and a lot of other great sides. The place gets packed at lunch time so get there early before the rush hits. I'm a big fan of their traditional philly, but they've also got a good French dip. The service is always friendly and you're never waiting for more than a couple minutes for your food. Been here a couple of times now and I'm just in love. read more

It was always good until the last two times I went. Tonight I got my order, noticed a sign telling people to check their order, so I start unwrapping the sandwich but the cashier said " it's what you ordered." So I got home and it was a crappy pastrami sandwich rather than the Philadelphian steak. They also said they couldn't do fried mushrooms because the fried was being shut down. Lady in front of me got fries. read more

The Phillidelphian is utterly amazing. We used to eat here every 3 weeks or so, until we moved out of state. I have searched the entire Dallas area, and have not found anything even close to these guys' sandwiches. Luckily for me, I came back to town, and this is my first stop, restaurant wise. The food is always super fresh, hot, and completely delicious, with very little wait (even at peak times). It's also a little family owned shop, so you are supporting local business. What could be better? read more

Any Philadelphian, or anybody that's ever had a decent philly would laugh at this pretender. The place is disgusting, dirty, flies everywhere... you know where flies come from right? The sandwich is not a philly. It's like a hot roast beef. Thee worst one I've ever had. When the sandwich maker cut my sandwich with his hands... I about hurled. 1 bite and in the trashcan. Absolute joke. read more

Awesome Awesome Awesome. Everything about this place is an experience. Love it. Perfect dive. Great service. Great food. The fries are awesome! Our go to is the hot combo, meat and cheese with hot peppers on the side. Perfect on a Saturday afternoon or early evening with friends. LOVE IT read more

This place hasn't changed much since I started going as a kid. It's great food and it's a dive. You have to know you're going to a dive restaurant so please don't complain about the state of the restaurant. It's actually in much better shape than when I was a kid so kudos to them! Order the hot combo!! It's the best thing there. Great fries and english chips, you only need a small (trust me). Crazy unhealthy obviously but super yummy! TLDR - 5000 calories at least, worth it! read more

Yum this place is sooo delicious. Don't judge a book by its cover!! This place has some delicious food!

Awesome vibe! Great food from what I can see! Super chill and laid back. Open kitchen and seating area so the employees and diners can joke and chit chat! Great people by looks of it. Will be back 10/10 read more

The appearance is part of the experience; don't listen to the whiny brats complaining about it. I've eaten here for years and it's always made as fresh as you can get, and right in front of you too. Staff is super kind and the food is always great, greasy grub. Whenever I have friends or family in from out of town, this is one of the top 3 eating destinations I take them. Anything less than 3 stars should be utterly disregarded. read more

I've always had to wait awhile for my food, but the food is always good. I like to do take out bc it's cold in the restaurant to me.

One of my favorite Philly Cheese Steak spots in SLC. But it's only thing I get there, and I always do it to go. Definitely a hole in the wall type of place but there's a reason why the line is always long. My dad and I have been coming here for years, and on occasion make a bigger order to bring phillys to work for our coworkers. We always get the philly cheese steak with hot peppers and mushrooms. It's not the cleanest looking place, and the service isn't the best. The fries and onion rings are usually bland. Either the oil needs to be changed or they need to be seasoned more. Also, too much batter on the onion rings make them soggy. read more

Seriously, these people must OWN a health inspector somewhere. I mean, really own, like have something on him that would destroy life as he knows it. The filth factor of this place delves somewhere into my fear factor. I honestly have no idea how on earth they pass any semblance of a health inspection. This place is so far beyond greasy spoon that it I don't even have an analogy that does it justice. So, here's the thing - in my younger, and more immortal years, my husband and I went to the Philadelphian a few times. We ignored the scary icky background and took our chances. And truthfully, they do make a pretty good Philly steak. That being said, I'm older and wiser now and not willing to risk my life for the sake of steak and cheese, especially when places like Downtown Philly and Moochies exist. If you can get past the giant holes in the walls with insulation spilling out, covered in grease (in fact, every surface is covered in grease, and you too will be covered in grease upon walking in), then you have a stronger stomach than I do and will therefore probably be able to overcome any objections to risking your life enough to enjoy a pretty tasty sandwich. However, I am a more aware grasshopper than I once was. I see my own mortality, and I am no longer willing to risk that gift of life by eating at this particular establishment. So here's what I say: The Philadelphian - enter at your own risk, and may the force be with you. read more

I have been going to the Philly for about 15 years. I have two rules when going here. #1: Do not look at the floor or walls. #2: Do not look at any of the people touching your food. If you will follow these two simple rules and concentrate solely on your mind blowing sandwich you will walk out of there stinking of grease while awestruck over the deliciousness of the experience. These guys make a hit sandwich like no other in the west. They've stayed in business wholly on the food alone. The place is a total dump and the staff is rude. Dang the food is good! read more

Why oh why oh why did I wear a sweater on this outing as I tempted fate, putting my weekend of good health at risk, at this little sandwich shop? That sweater may now be designated 'the wardrobe item of choice when seeking to attract large packs of hungry dogs'. It definitely sucked up an odor. Here's hoping a thorough hand washing will save it. Upon first walking in, the restaurant is run down, outdated, dirty, the grease is sliding down the walls, and people are having a great time downing the biggest ingredient packed sandwiches I've ever seen! I was really grateful I got a gander at the food before I ordered, because I decided to go with the 4" Philly and that was plenty of food for me. The big reason I got to see it is because the grill is RIGHT there, out for all the world to see - the smoke and steam and grease infiltrating the entire seating area. I also watched a guy haul a dolly full of boxes of meat right through the dining area! Cool. But, sitting there eating that thing, I was happy. It was just a really good sandwich! I closed my eyes, turned off the brain, and just enjoyed it. Besides the meat there were onions, mushrooms, tomato, I opted for no hot peppers, and of course cheese. It was melt-y and hot off the grill. If someone invited me there again - I'd go back, assuming I was feeling a little daring, or gambling for a few days off work. But, I'd definitely choose a different outfit. read more

The Philadelphian is that little sin that you don't dare admit. It's the place where you go, but you don't take anyone with you. But you just keep going. Imagine with me, if you will, the most terrible little dive you could walk into, and then add a little grease to the walls. That's about it. The only reason people can eat here is because you can see the place where your food is cooked. If you couldn't see it, your mind would conjure up images of rats of unusual size roaming about and cooking up your food for you. There are poor reviews of the food at this place, but that's because they don't know the secret. (and because they can't get the nastiness past their heads) Secret 1. Never go there or order from there at lunchtime, the place is PACKED, the food quality suffers and the wait time goes to levels of insanity. Go there at off times or order for a time when they won't be busy Secret 2. This is a great philly sandwich. I've been to the worlds most famous philly steak place, in philly, and this sandwich beats it hands down. There is a reason why the place is packed at lunchtime, and it's not just because the staff is slow (which they are) Secret 3. Don't ever take anyone with you, you'll spend far too much time apologizing for how nasty the place is. Go there alone, wear a hoodie, and stop telling other people about it. read more

This place is a the epitome of a hole-in-the-wall. You can practically feel your arteries clog as you step into the grease-filled dining room. That being said, this is, hands-down, the best Philly Cheesesteak I have ever had. It may not necessarily be "authentic", but it's so damn good, that doesn't matter a bit. As if if that weren't enough, the prices are extremely reasonable for the size of the sandwich; 12 inch philly cheesesteak is just under $9 including tax. I don't live in SLC anymore, but every time I'm in town I make a stop at The Philadelphian. This place is to die for (and will probably kill me, one day). read more

SO DIRTY!!! OMG! I could not eat there. It's like eating out of a garbage bin in the back alley. read more

The sandwhiches are okay - ours were dry, I had to dip it in ketchup. (what a sin!) The fries were greasy and unimpressive. For this lackluster review, there is no way in hell I will ever eat there again. The place is so filthy, rats wouldn't eat there. The employees looked dirty and sweaty. The floor hasn't seen a vacuum in 20 years. The walls were like fly paper - I bet you could stick right on them! And behind the counter?? Don't even get me started. I have no idea how they pass a health inspection. I will take The Downtown Philly in SJ any day of the week! read more

I had heard great things so decided to give it a try. Had the most popular Philadelphian Steak sandwich that was suppose to have mushrooms and onions with provolone cheese. There was so much meat, which may be good for some people, but it was salty and I couldn't find an onion and because of the amount of meat, the cheese was practically undetectable. We also got the Krab sandwich which was good. The onion rings were F minus!! There was so much soggy batter (and we ate them in the car) that by the time I took it all off, my bag still weighed a pound! I'm not a fan of The Philadelphian and my husband that is a huge steak sandwich fan says there are better places in the valley! read more

This place is dirty, rundown, and outdated. The frozen Philly cheesesteaks from Costco are better than the ones they sell here. Not a fan.

My boyfriend and I stopped here yesterday (2/14) to grab a quick bite before our drive back to CA. I found this place on Yelp, it had decent reviews and it was open, so we decided to give it a try. The place itself isn't the prettiest place and not super clean. We saw one of the workers drop a receipt in the deep fryer, then pick it out and throw French fries in there with bare hands. Was a little alarming but we didn't think too much into it. I ordered the pepper steak- it was ok, not amazing. The french fries tasted like fries you'd get at a carnival. My boyfriend got the meatball sub- saw the cook throw some meatballs in a plastic container and cook them in the microwave. He was a little apprehensive but again, we didn't look too much into it. His sandwich tasted ok he said. Well a few hours later- cold sweats, stomach ache...then violent throwing up. He had food poisoning. Still incredibly sick today. Note to self-if it looks dirty and the workers/cooking process doesn't seem very clean...don't eat there. We learned that lesson the hard way. read more

Here's the deal: there are some bad reviews about this place due to the environment. First, get that out of your head. Everything about this place is as it should be. Come here around lunch and you'll be standing in line waiting. Note that the customers range from suites to construction workers. If you talk to someone else in line, they've likely have all been coming here for years. I recommend the Hot Combo with all the fixins. Hope you're hungry, the portions here are huge. read more

Get ready for a serious gut buster! If you like hole in the walls, like you joke when you walk in if this place passes health codes type hole in the wall. Then come eat here because you will leave happy. Obviously with the name your going to get the Philly. Unless you frequently do eating competitions or you plan to split, go with less than the 12" (they should call it the 12lb). The menu should read: side effects include MANDATORY siesta. They brought back the "chips" they are greasy deep fried goodness. Don't tell my wife I ate here again! read more

WOW!!! Delicious!!!! Best Philly Cheesesteak!!!! Don't let the outside or inside ambience fool you into not eating here! Yeah...it looks a little scary on the outside....but the food! Authentic! Plan to come jut grab it to go or sit at a table or eat and go. You'll be coming back for more or wishing you ordered a bigger size (they offer 4", 6", 8", or 12") Enjoy!!! read more

A constant. Part of my life for 40 years. The fries make me happy! The sandwiches are always good! Affordable/large portions!
