    2-piece COD Fish & Chips (4.5/5)
    Thalya C.

    Visiting a friend in Tacoma and we went here. It's all outdoors and I wasn't sure if I'd like any of the Philly's based on other reviews but I feel you can't go wrong with fish and chips! Service was not good for it being a pick up window -- I was surprised to say the least. Being put on hold while the person taking my order was visibly on their phone is actually crazy! I enjoy my food served hot and ready and this was perfect! The fish had smoke coming out of it when I split it open and it wasn't all batter so that was good! Overall good food, bad service, but quick and easy!

    It is in a wonderful location. However, customer service is not the best. I came here at my husband 's request to pick up a lunch special. The 9.95 special before 1pm is a great motivator to run and get lunch. But they lose a couple of stars for just the service. I do not get it but maybe food service is high pressure. I recommend being a least a bit more cordial and kind of focus a little more on greeting customers and making sure the orders are correct. I ordered a lemon lime drink and Hi C for my son. We got our lemon lime drink but some mystery dark soda. Well the fries is a generous amount and the sandwich is a good amount of meat. Cheese is not too overwhelming so that is good. For good food and location service needs to improve. They have great potential and I honestly want them to stay around here. So I say to the lady at the window to just relax and smile a little bit more. And we love your sandwiches a lot. Thanks.

    This isn't even a po boy.

    Everything. This is absolutely ridiculous. This sandwich is falling apart. There's no tarter. The fish isnNON EXISTENT. and this cost 17$?!! I will never eat here again. I'd give it zero stars if I could.

    Cajun fries (after I ate some already)

    Nice little cheesesteak shack. Had the hot pastrami with sauerkraut and provalone with Cajun fries. Very good amount of meat. Kraut not too aggressive. Definitely a good sandwich if you are in the mood. But the Cajun fried were really good. The crisp on them was amazing and the oil didn't taste old. Seasoning was really flavorful and had a decent amount of spice to them. The service was very friendly and prompt. Fountain sodas available. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time, so you know it's made to order. I would totally eat here again next time I'm in town.

    The food was amazing! The fries were fresh, you could tell that they were made to order. The cheese steak was very yummy, it was cheese, and I loved the meat to onion ratio. Service was great. I would only recommend that they wrap the sandwiches a little cleaner. There was cheese all over the outside of the paper and it got everywhere and we didn't get any napkins. Overall, I cannot wait to come back to Go Philly!

    Once again another wonderful cheesesteak from Go Philly! I love this place. The staff here is friendly. Not yo mention they keep the place up.

    Mushroom cheesesteak
    Chris G.

    A pretty solid cheesesteak if not a bit on the smaller side. The place is small and only has exterior seating. And it gets busy during meal times. I highly recommend ordering ahead. It's convenient and also lets you know an ETA and alerts you when your order is ready. The parking lot is also very small. All-in-all it seems to be the best cheesesteak in Tacoma, so we will be returning.

    Gross sloppy greasy sandwich supposed to be chicken peppers and provolone
    Melissa T.

    What a disappointment. I ordered a chicken pepper steak with provolone cheese and mayo. And what I got was a complete disaster. Sure there's chicken cheese and peppers in there not too many peppers. But the amount of mayo in here dominates the sandwich. The bread immediately fell apart mushy from the second I took it out out of the wrapper and most of the rapper stuck to the sandwich. I opened it up as soon as I left the place and there was no time in between when I received the text message that my order was ready and me picking it up. I was excited to get my birthday reward cheesesteak and it was the first thing I haven't cooked for myself in a long time. And this only proves why I don't go out and spend money at locations because the food is unreliable. This is inedible because there is wrapper stuck to the sandwich and the bread is disgusting. I would have to take it all apart to salvage what isn't doused in mayo to put it on an English muffin because that's all I have. I didn't go to the store to do my grocery shopping I went out to buy myself a cheesesteak!! I tipped them, for the record. I even asked for light ice half of my container is ice. Imagine if I hadn't asked for light ice! Overall 100% disappointed and would not recommend. What happened?!?!! This place used to be great.

    Crunchy garlic fries
    Eilene C.

    Conveniently located on Tacoma Ave S near downtown Tacoma, their menu has everything for everyone in the family. With outdoor seating only, we took our food home to eat. It was still nice and warm when we got home. We loved their original and deluxe cheesesteak! We also surprisingly loved their buffalo saucy cheesesteak and will be ordering that again next time! Garlic fries were delicious and their jumbo wings were nice and crunchy. Cashier was friendly and patient while we placed a large order.

    Kind of disappointed with how long I waited and how my food turned out. I ordered the Swiss mushroom burger with fries. 45min wait finally got it. Burger bun was so soggy and hard to enjoy with everything falling apart. It was also super salty I could barely eat it without feeling it in my throat. Not worth coming back, plus the parking space is horrible. If the lot is full there's no way you could order and wait until a spot is available. All the hype for a bad experience

    Closest to a true Philly cheesesteak that you'll get in Tacoma. Do it the real way with mushrooms and onions

    The best cheesesteaks by far in the PNW. I noticed this is a family run business. They put their heart and soul into every order.

    Great dive bar with amazing sandwiches! I've been here a couple times and the bar tends to have a…read moresteady amount of patrons which says a lot. I've had several things on their menu and some of my favorites are the chiptole turkey melt sandwich and artichoke dip. I love how soft the bread is for the sandwiches. Service is usually quick and attentive. I love to visit for good vibes, food and drinks!

    The vibe was cool and all but the experience was kind of unconventional, to me at least…read more Unconventional because as a 1st time customer, I didn't know if I had to sit myself or wait so I felt kinda awkward. No welcome or anything or a "hey just sit anywhere you want". So I just took initiative, grabbed a menu and sat at an empty table. There's a sign that said "order at the bar" but the barkeep would go to other people and ask what they wanted. Okay, that's fine... Trying to follow the rules so I don't single myself out, I went to the bar and was asked for my ID, but why? I wasn't ordering drinks and when other people came, the barkeep didn't ask the other customers for their ID so I felt some type of way but whatever. We proceed to order the Philly and Mac & Cheese. Philly tasted great because it also came with dipping sauce. The only thing lacking was that I felt it wasn't enough. Plus It seemed like I had more bread as opposed to meat. Mac & Cheese was great also, it was soft and creamy plus it had crunchy bits. It had the consistency of valveeta cheese. We asked for the check, we waited, waited some more so I finally went to the bar and closed the tab that I didn't order drinks with, just food. I like the vibe, its like being in a classic tattoo studio with posters on the wall with classical prints from different time periods. Not a big establishment or room inside but just enough to have a modest amount of 30 people. It's a nice joint but not really for me, I'd probably order through Uber eats with this place.

The food was amazing but definitely recommend eating it as soon as possible as the fries, fried fish, hot wings, and banana pudding was pretty soggy when we arrived home. But besides that, the food was good but as someone who hates soggy texture, definitely will be eating it right after I get it. This is also where I first tried a Faygo and I was hooked as it complimented the meal so well, I got the red pop flavor. The service here during when I arrived was friendly. They seemed to be busy too so they were trying to get orders going and out, not much conversation. Although understandably so as they seem to be a local favorite and have many regulars coming in. As for the ambiance, it is just a small restaurant that is primarily take out but they do have a small table and also a counter to put on hot sauce(s) or seasoning salt. They also have a bunch of community posters and pictures of current events and community people throughout the restaurant. It's clear that they love the community and the community loves them in return.

The food is very greasy personally I'd question how often the grease is switched out. But if you have a good stomach to overlook the grease and a nose to handle the heavily burnt grease smell. Enjoy the food it's decent and not bad at all. Personally I'm calling it safe with the lemon cake my stomach can't handle all that grease. Maybe when I was younger but no gallbladder later my tummy ain't having it.
