    OG Philly Spicy
    Timia W.

    What the Philly is the best cheesesteak I've ever had! They're creamy, well seasoned, spicy even. It gets two stars because I've been trying to support for the last 3 years and this business is poorly run. They never answer the phone. They shut down early, don't keep their social media up to date to communicate important info. The truck moves often and the opening and closing times change everyday. I wish they were more consistent. If so I'd give 5 stars.

    We ordered the OG Philly's via UberEats as part of their BOGO deal. We ordered enough sandwiches to get free waffle fries too. The OG Philly sandwiches themselves were delicious: fluffy bread and tons of beef and cheese. The sandwich could of had more veggies, like bell peppers, to balance out the heaviness. The waffle fries were just standard and a bit stale. Overall, we would order their Philly sandwiches again.

    Got what the philly sandwich and waffle fries! Great stop for a decent philly cheesesteak! Worth trying!

    Service is great. Location is great. Food is amazing. Ample parking. What's not to love? I grabbed the happy hour special- $5/sandwich for the OG Philly. Sooooo good! My husband, kids and I downed those sandwiches like we've never eaten before. So tasty and reminds me of the cheesesteaks that we get back on the east coast. Always will be a fan.

    Did this Philly really come off a food truck? Huge in size and you can definitely share with a friend. They're always in the food truck park in Sugarland. Place your order and walk around. It's made fresh so a bit of a wait. Side note: they're always out of the side of the onion straws.

    Waffle fries with fry sauce on the side

    Went during lunch at 2pm There was no wait at all I couldn't find the person taking orders but the trucks window was open with the open sign There was no bell so I called the number on the truck He came immediately lol So I ordered the twisted philly (spicy) ; with steak (there's an option for chicken) and waffle fries with the fry sauce (it was packed on the side) The fries were really good, not greasy at all with the perfect seasoning. The fry sauce had a little kick to it. Delicious The cheesesteak was incredible. Not spicy but it still had that perfect flavor and I highly recommend Side note the bun is very buttery. I love butter so it's a good thing for me but FYI for others if you want to opt out on that part.

    Really friendly service and overall decent cheesesteak located in a food truck park in Sugarland that I stumbled upon. Didn't quite hit the craving for the authentic classic I was hoping for, which I knew would be the case since they weren't using provolone as the default cheese. Worth a try but I've had better in Houston (and Philly).

    What the Philly?! Love the name and the food. The Hubs and I ventured down Hwy 6 to try their Philly cheesesteaks. They were GOOD. We both ordered the OG Philly with extra cheese, cuz that's our business, but my husband his spicy. The Hubs almost drunk a whole bottle of water after one bite! It was spicy indeed. The waffle fries were seasoned ok and needed to be fried a lil bit longer. Nevertheless we done finally found someone that understands extra cheese omna philly!

    Burned steak and onion pieces
    John H.

    Ordered the extra meat Philly and waffle fries via Uber Eats. The fries do not travel well in a clam shell box and weee a soggy mess. That's fairly expected so whatever. The steak however was filled with burned pieces of steak and onion, a hallmark of a dirty grill and the bun was burned. Terrible version for a place that "specializes" in the Connecticut version of the steak (green peppers and Mayo!). Avoid!

There are plenty of parking spots at this location. Park wherever you like. Shoutout to our server Thy for doing an amazing job. The service was top notch, I think we got asked a decent amount of times if we need anything else or is the food to our liking, some people might not like that but I think that's better than being ignored by the servers the entirety while I'm there. I did noticed the servers were extremely accommodating to people wanting to move tables & spots around, so that's a plus for accommodation. The inside of the restaurant is super cute & modern, the only con it was super loud in the restaurant that I had to either repeat myself multiple times or scream louder than others, management should look into adding sound-absorbing panels, 3/5 for the loudness. I don't know how servers work there without feeling drained or deafening after their shifts.

Not sure if I will give this another try but I might just because I definitely want to support local business owners. TBH maybe they just had a bad night. But it won't be my first choice.

The legs of the tables were rusted over and the plastic of the chairs were chipped. There were cobwebs on the walls. It just felt like the place has not been well maintained. When we ordered, the cashier never showed or told me my order back and just gave me the total price, expecting me to tap my card. Hearing that our order for 4 people was over $60, the price sounded high to me for the prices listed on the overhead TV menus. Come to find out there was a markup on the loaded fries I ordered that was not reflected on the display. When I asked her about it, she nonchalantly said "Oh yeah the price is higher". My first thought was, hey it's a digital menu, how hard is that to change? Secondly, the attitude in response to how my order broke down was definitely not one of good customer service. I also asked how spicy the chili ranch sauce was that came with the avocado burger since my 6 year-old was ordering it and she assured me it was not spicy. We ended up having to wait over half an hour for our food. Turned out the avocado burger had some sort of chopped peppers throughout the spread and my son couldn't even eat a bite. The biryani was also extremely spicy. I like spicy food as much as the next, but the biryani was hot fire coming out the chute, and there was a lot "chuting" from the family after this meal. Needless to say, we won't be returning anytime soon. Which is too bad, because I want to support local, ethnic foods and honestly, I like the taste of the food.
