Every trip I make and Flyby Phillys is around you know I'm making a detour to include them as a stop either going on coming. The Philly is where it's at, the atmosphere and service is amazing. This last trip @MsMaggie_thebulldog was with me and they got her treats and a water bowl. Like come on now that's what I'm saying. Maggie was happy and so was I
Nice place! Yelpers are correct! They are good AND slow! I took the advice and called ahead. I arrived late and still waited 15 minutes with only 1 couple sitting outside on the porch. That's my only negative! Sandwiches are filling, tasty and fixed with care. There's a lot of individual attention given to food preparation! The sandwich was good! The wings were really good, too. It was a nice experience and deserved a 4.5! They need to be a little quicker based on Yelpers experiences but don't sacrifice the care you're providing in your food! I'll be baaaaack!
Great food and service. Owners were nice and friendly, not big cowboy fans. Good food options reasonable prices. Nice setting.
Be never had a Philly in Philadelphia, but I can't imagine one being any better than what I had here today. Amazingly soft and chewy roll, well seasoned beef, white American cheese (next time, WIZ!), and sautéed onions. I've had many cheesesteaks n my day, but this one is the best I've ever had. Also had the onion rings. Amazing. The place is super immaculate and it smelled clean...but not overpowering - inviting, rather. Service was a bit slow, but we were at the beginning of a wave of business that was steady for the entire time we were there. The folks there were super friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go back...I don't even care that it's not close to my house!
Just recently found out about this place and wanted to give it a try. I was not disappointed! Nice, quaint eating area inside and outside, which is especially appreciated. Customer service was great! And the Philly was spot on! I ordered the chicken philly with onions, green peppers, and provolone cheese, plus a side of fries. Choice of 8 in. or 12 in. for the phillies; I got the 8 in. but could only eat half of it! Loads of chicken (not skimpy with the meat). Although onions can be included at no extra cost, other items are extra (such as green peppers, mushrooms, jalapenos, etc.). I will plan to visit this place many more times!
I've had three things here: the Cheesesmith (meh), loaded fries (pretty good) and the Whiz Wit (sooo good). The Whiz Wit comes with meat, cheese and onions (the "wit" is for "with onions"). If you don't like onions, try the Whiz Witout. I like to add mushrooms and peppers to the cheesesteak which tend to make it so big and sloppy you have to eat it with a fork and knife. If you get the "long" cheesesteak option, you're basically eating for two or three people. As of 8/1/2020, this place is delivery and to-go only. Your options are: (1) text them your order and wait for a confirmation text for curbside pickup or (2) call for pickup or (3) order through GrubHub for pickup or delivery or (4) order from your car in the parking lot (they have menus outside and will take your order at your window). Employees wear masks and gloves. If you order through GrubHub then you pay online and everything is contactless. If you order via any other method you will have to interact with a tablet once you arrive.
About as close to the real-deal as you will get in Tallly. I've been to both Pat's and Gino's in Philadelphia many times, as well as enjoyed Philly cheesesteak at other Philly establishments. And the ones at Flyby Phillys are pretty close. We went add ordered sandwiches and sides to go. The decor isn't much to look at, but they do have Bob Ross painting episodes running continuously on one of the TVs to give you something to enjoy while you wait for your cooked to order meal. I had an 8" OG Cheesesteak Wiz (cheese whiz) wit (onions) and added peppers and mushrooms. Wiz wit is the only way to go, imho. We also ordered their onion rings and their pretzels. The pretzels were Porter disappointing (very dense) and wet won't be getting those again. But the onion rings were a standout. Clearly hand battered and quite crispy. The sandwich was wonderful. I'm told they get their rolls twice a week from Amoroso Bakery in Philadelphia and that they hand shaved the ribeye in house. The sandwich tasted great and had quite a lot of meat and toppings. Glad I didn't go for the 12". We will absolutely be back!
FOOD WAS AMAZING !!!! My husband and i spontaneously tried this and we have been raving about it ever since ! I got the 6" american wit and it was amazing ! HOT AND FRESH FOOD FULL OF FLAVOR ! My hubby got the bbq philly with ground beef and chicken 8" it was yummy and prob better than mine imo but both are good !! service was pretty reasonable didn't wait too long ! Nice vibes on the inside but we had it to go.
My five-word review: this place is for real. Visiting Tally from Philly, I had to stop in. I got the provowit with beer chz added. Ordered online and drove to the shop. It was waiting for me and hot, so just made. Generally a steak should be moist enough without adding ketchup or mayo. This definitely checked that box. I loved that their default is a 9 inch sandwich: just the right amount of food without wrecking my day. The service was the only thing that wasn't quite Philly: the service was friendly and courteous, not gruff or calling me "hon." The sandwich was gone in a flash, very satisfying and delicious. The decor of the shop shows that this place is done from the heart, and not just a Philly theme restaurant. Loved seeing my 2008 Phililes heroes here. And Randall's jersey! That is all.
Overall the cheesesteak Philly was pretty good. The cashier helped me understand that the wiz cheese they use isn't the kind from a can but the real type of cheese blend used for actual Phillys. I also ordered a half order of onion rings. The onion rings were a bit disappointing because one the size of the portion and two I felt like they were average homemade onion rings. The Philly however was pretty good and the wiz cheese was a new flavor for me. I'd recommend anyone to try it for yourself and see what you think
After all the drama of this philly place opening we were excited to try it. Ordering was easy, and they bring it out to your car. The owner was nice, service was quick but the food was disappointing. I ordered the Provo wit (added peppers). My husband and and his brother ordered a couple different sandwiches. The sandwiches were dry, they lacked flavor and in my opinion they needed more cheese. ALSO they need to change whatever they're wrapping the philly's in because the paper kept sticking to the entire sandwich and we all were eating paper. After trying other Philly's I don't think we will be returning.
The girl that worked there was friendly. Sandwich not good. It tasted smoky as if there was bacon or some other smoked meat on the grill cooked prior to the meat being cooked. The meat was tiny little pieces not the type of meat that you would expect in a Philly cheesesteak like they put together a bunch of scraps that should probably have been thrown in the trash instead of into the sandwich. The fries-they were bad. They were dipped in some kind of weird batter - The menu did not mention that the fries were dipped in a weird batter and all the pictures on their website show just regular french fries. To our surprise they came out dipped in a weird batter and had weird spices on them not exactly what you would expect at a true Philly cheesesteak place. Just a strange weird place. I have learned that people in Tallahassee will rate places in comparison to what is in the local area and not what truly is out in the real world.
Tried this place after driving by a few and it did not disappoint. The cheesesteak reminded me of my first time in Philadelphia. The service was swift and efficient and the place looks like a Philly dive bar.
I tried this place for the first time in a while and it was really good. I used to come to this place pretty often until I moved to the other side of town. It was good to stop in and try them again. I brought my wife and son on this trip. We shared an order of the Philly fries. For my main course I had the footling Philly cheesesteak with onions, peppers, and mushrooms. For my cheese I had the American wit. It was all so good! The bread on the Philly really did it for me. It was so fresh and crisp. I would recommend this place to anyone in Tallahassee looking for a Philly cheesesteak. read more
Finally made it this spot. I ordered the 6' Philly with whiz, with added mushrooms and a small onion rings. The service was great! The cashier answered all of my questions with a smile. The ambiance was cool. It's a sports bar. Small, but I could easily see myself watching a game in there. Now, the cheesesteak was good. I would probably get a sturdier cheese the next time. The cheese whiz was so liquidy that it was all over the wrapper. I usually like messy sandwiches, but this one couldn't stay together. Not even three bites in the whole thing ripped in half.The onion rings were disappointing. They were pretty dark and were soft and doughy when they cooled down. I barely ate one and won't order them again. I will try this spot again for the sandwich and maybe I'll try the fries next time. read more

Only good thing about Flyby Philly's is the name. I'm originally from Philly, so my cheesesteak barometer is well-calibrated, and this place didn't make the cut. The roll was A mushy disaster!! Got it without onions, but somehow, the steak tasted like it had been marinated in a bucket of them. The only good thing about it was the wiz. Tried their version of crab fries which was an Old Bay dusting, that wasn't bad. Overall, this place might work for Tally locals who don't know any better, but for this out-of-towner...Never again. read more

This place is incredible! I have to start by giving them props for boldly opening during a pandemic. That takes guts! Thankfully, Tallahassee is a town that's been craving an authentic and juicy cheesesteak for as long as I can remember. This place delivers and then some. I can't even describe how good this food is, but I can sure try. The rolls are soft, the cheese wiz is like nothing I've ever had before and it complements the meat like no other. The height of complements here is that I hate peppers. Like public enemy number one style hate. Yet I decided to split a sandwich with my fiancé, and he wanted it with the works, so I compromised and decided to try it. I actually really liked it (wit) the peppers and onions. They are cooked so well that the pepper taste isn't overwhelming, but truly complimentary. I honestly can't wait to come back and get my own! read more

This place is 10/10. Not only was the food delicious, but the server was excellent--a friendly and attentive boy. I always saw this place and finally decided to try it, and it was the best decision. I have never had such a good Philly in town. The outside patio and the inside are small but nice to have a couple of beers and watch the game. read more
We heard a lot of chatter about this spot and finally got to try it today. Delicious! Ted waited on us and was very personable and overall just a great waiter. He gave us suggestions and explained the options to help us make out decision. I assumed he was the owner because he was very enthusiastic about the restaraunt. Those kind of employees are hard to come by. Onto the food. Holy cow at the portions! We had enough leftover for dinner tonight. My husband got the 8 inch Philly Cheese steak with Wiz. I got the 6 inch steak Philly with onions. We also ordered the onion rings and crab fries. Everything was fresh and delicious. We will be back for sure and can't wait for our friends that just moved here from Philly to try it out. read more

A late night stop to grab a bite to eat turned out to be a really fun evening with lots of laughing and great food! My friend ordered the cheesesteak 6 inch Philly steak and cheese sub with Cajun spiced crinkle fries and I ordered the "Naked Philly" with their original fries. The crinkle fries had the tons of flavor and dipped in beer cheese made them even tastier... they were spicy but not hot. We chose the whiz cheese and the beer cheese for our Philly's , both were outstanding. They were so stuffed with fresh shaved steak that it was impossible to finish both of our meals. I appreciated the naked Philly option for gluten free, keto, or that I just don't feel like that many carbs moment. The price point was very user-friendly, you can't beat it! We really loved the atmosphere, the booths outside are just far enough away from the street that although you hear traffic, it doesn't disrupt the conversation, it just adds a big city vibe. They had festive lights strung outside, pavers for kids to color with chalk, it was a win-win for us! I think our server was one of the owners, he couldn't have been more fun and such a hard worker. Service, service, service! The food is so good it's definitely worth takeout but my preference will always be to dine in, or "out" since I love the booths out front and especially at night. Definitely recommend! read more
