For a unique sandwich , try an oven-baked grinder where the bread and all ingredients (such as chicken , ranch dressing , cheese and bacon ) are baked. Philly transplants started this restaurant . Read more

The sandwich was excellent. First Philly I ever ate, btw. Definitely will order one again. Their small fry was a surprise too. Bigger than most spot’s large fry.

Say you want a taste of the Philly cheesesteak but would rather get pizza or something. Get the steak roll appetizer (2 bites of cheesesteak in a deep fried egg roll-like thing). Fantastic.

Cheesesteaks are far greasier than Chicago Italian beef , but the toasted garlic bread nestles the amalgamated oozy mass of griddled chopped tenderloin, grilled onions and white American cheese . Yum! Read more

Original Philly on garlic bread with wiz... One of only a few joints in Chicago that makes a real East Coast Philly!

Very good. Get the Philly wit & wiz! They give you a lot of fries too which is great for this potato lover.

Philly steak on garlic bread and seasoned fries !

Scott Kleinberg

The cheesesteak is definitely Philly. Get it with onions and extra American cheese . Get it on garlic bread if you are feeling extra wild - and aren't kissing anyone afterward :-)

Katie McCormick

Scott Kleinberg

Cheesesteak with extra American and add hot peppers . If you are feeling adventurous, get it on garlic bread .

Wifi rarely seems to work and the music is usually too loud but they are open almost all night and have outlets.

Best in Chicago

If you are craving late night food and the line is too long at Mr. Greek or Greek Town Gyros , this is another quick option.

Zack Wilmot

I have eaten here several times and These are mediocre at best. The service is slow and the food lacks flavor. They have yet to get my order right. Emailed but never got a reply. Sad. Could be good.

Willie Smith

The Philly is good, but the bathroom was atrocious

Curtis G

The best steak pizza in the city

Was there last night and saw two employees go out for a smoke break, they came back and didn’t wash their hands. Just started touching food with no gloves. Nasty, nasty, nasty

Lady TMarie H.

Their salads are huge and they aren't stingy with the toppings.

Willie Smith

Bob Pearson

$10 for a small Philly on garlic bread with fries . Not worth the cash. Sandwich was average at best.

Lauren H

Foods good, fat cashier is a massive bitch with an attitude.
