Itz A Philly Thing serves quality Philly cheese steaks! I was skeptical that it would not be anywhere near as good as the best ones you can find in Philly, but I was wrong. I got my cheese steak prepared the traditional way to make sure my comparison would be fair. The service was amazing. One of the employees and I are from the same area, so we talked while I waited for the food. He also described all his favorite menu items that I can't wait to try next time. I'm so sad that they're no longer off Charlotte Pike, but the food is worth traveling farther west in Bellevue to get. Love: service (above and beyond, kind, helpful); Philly Cheeze Steak (soft roll, well- seasoned steak, huge portion); fries (fresh, crunchy, well- seasoned); Itz a Philly sauce (goes well with the fries) read more

Today we checked out IT'Z A Philly Thing for lunch. We placed our order when we arrived and waited 15 - 20 minutes for our food. First of all, the sandwiches are very large! We loved them, and there was plenty of meat and cheese inside the bun. They are really messy, though, so be sure to get plenty of napkins. We ordered extra sauces, and they were so good, but you do get a small amount sauce for the price. Even so, I would order the Philly sauce again, but my husband was not a fan of his ranch sauce. These were the best Philly sandwiches we have found here in Nashville, so if you are craving a great Philly be sure to give them a try. read more

Bad experience... Only go if you are willing to wait. It took about 70 minutes to get our food. It didn't appear super crowded but apparently there was a lot of people in front of us. The workers although kind were not hustling in the slightest. Upon ordering they told us they were also out of fries and cheese wiz. Not great, but we rolled with it. I changed the cheese selection when ordering to American. When we finally got our food there was no cheese at all which was extremely disappointing. We also paid extra for peppers on the sandwich and there was a minuscule, undetectable amount. They also messed up our egg roll order. At this point we just accepted it due to being so sick of waiting. This being said the egg rolls were good and the sandwich has potential. Overall the experience was greatly disappointing. read more

Always searching for a "true" Philly Cheesesteak and on the West side of Nashville there's a trailer called IT'Z A Philly Thing. The menu is not huge, but the flavors here more than make up for a smaller menu. I decided to try the appetizer 2-Cheeze Steak Egg Rolls...OMG these are exceptional. Honestly they are a meal in themselves and dipping them in the sauce provided is awesome. I opted for the Original Philly Cheeze Steak on a wonderful Amoroso Roll. You can modify the cheese along with the additional ingredients/toppings if you like and I went with the Original and added mushrooms. The sandwich was stuffed, the steak tender and flavorful, and while the Cheeze Wiz was a good option it's a bit salty for me and I go with Provolone next time. Overall this is a solid Philly Cheesesteak and well worth the drive to the East side of Nashville. https://itzaphillything.com/ read more

Totally got ripped off when ordering online. When purchasing the "sandwich combo" with a Coke, adding sauce (+$0.50) and upgrading to cheese fries (+$3.50), the total was $27.44! When purchasing those items separately, the total is $22.48. Almost a $5 mark up is pretty crazy. I definitely won't be going back after realizing this. The food is ok, but absolutely not worth getting ripped off. read more

Food is good, customer service is a 0/10 at the Bellevue location. Employees don't even acknowledge you as you come up to the window. Stood there for 5+ minutes before a single word was said from inside the truck. Not a "be right with you", "one min".... Just nothing. Food took a good bit to be ready even after ordering online beforehand. But if the food is cooked fresh, then that's fair enough. Guy working had his pants completely below both ass checks.... Got to see his entire underwear as he handed me my food. I say thank you as he hands me my food and he doesn't reply at all. The customer service doesn't have to be ultra friendly, energetic, back flips and cheerfulness, but damn at least try just a little bit. read more

This is going to grind some gears but.... the philly cheesesteaks from Itz a Philly Thing were better than the ones I've tried in Philly. Philly Cheeze Steak- Really flavorful. Seasoned well. Bread was soft. Chicken Egg Roll & Beef Egg Roll- the exterior was perfectly crunchy while the inside was juicy and packed with flavor. I couldn't pick which one I prefered cause they were both really yummy. read more

I'd been looking forward to this place for a while. It's not in my part of town, so I put it on my bucket list. Yesterday, we made it happen. We arrived and ordered at 6:20 pm on a Saturday. There was a fair number ahead of us, but it's a food truck so it should have been manageable. (Side note: they get a lot of order-aheads and Door Dash so very misleading). They were out of fries and cheese whiz (how can you be a Philly cheesesteak place and be out of whiz and not send someone to the store???). I should have followed my gut and backed out then, but the lady beside me recommended the provolone and American cheeses and said she prefers it that way anyway. She seemed to be a regular and we had already made a special trip for this, so what the heck!?!? 50 minutes later, we are still waiting for our food!!!!! And he calls our name. (There were two guys working, and they were the most relaxed, slowest working food service workers I have ever witnessed!!! They were not working at the speed of a typical food truck!!!!). They didn't call us up to pick up our food - it was to tell us that they couldn't make our order exactly. They were subbing a chicken Philly egg roll for a beef Philly egg roll. So finally, over an hour after ordering, we got some food. Our Philly CHEESEsteaks had no cheese! Not just no whiz, but also no provolone or American. Also, we paid extra for mushrooms and peppers, and honestly, I think there were three very small bits of pepper and no visible mushrooms. I think the place might have a good product idea, but this whole experience was disappointing. Over an hour, changed our original egg roll order, and no cheese and veggies on the sandwiches. The whole experience was a let down. Another table mentioned when they left that they waited an hour for their food also. read more

Located in the parking lot near a Staples, this is a hidden gem that is not to be missed! The service is always so friendly, and the food comes out quickly and hot. I LOVE the chicken cheesesteak fries--a generous portion of fries topped with chicken, cheese, and toppings like bell pepper or banana peppers. It's addictive. As someone who has never had water ice before, I also highly recommend trying it, especially on a hot day. The pina colada flavor is my favorite, but it's also good combined with the passionfruit one. It's creamier than shaved ice somehow, but lighter than ice cream. On a warm day, the picnic benches in front of the place are nice for sitting and eating, but I usually take the food to go. read more

A must try in West Nash! A friend of mine raved about this place 1+ year ago & I finally tried it out. I'm not a big Philly cheesesteak person, but my gosh I couldn't stop eating it even after being full. Sandwich and fry portions are great, flavors are amazing, service is quick. It's now made it to my list of go to quick service spots! What I tried- Original cheeze steak w/light mayo & mushrooms for a great addition read more

Best Philly in Nashville, the Philly water ice is divine too! I couldn't stop eating when I was full, I hurt myself. read more

Legit sandwiches! This is a stop u need to make. I'm not from Phila but I've had my share of cheesesteaks from Phila & other cities. This business started in the dorms at Tenn State University by a track star who migrated to Nashville from Phila. He and his team give great service and prepare sandwiches you'll thoroughly enjoy & recommend. Outstanding work IT'z A Philly Thing. I'll be back. Look for the red bldg next to Staples. It's worth the drive from downtown to the Bellevue area. read more

I must say I am very disappointed. My family and I map out all the black owed restaurants we were going to support on our trip. This was the first stop on my trip to Nashville and the food was mediocre at best. I ordered the Philly steak. The sandwich reminded me of a sloppy Joe as a kid. It included chopped up low quality steak with my seasoning to it, With cheese and green and red peppers that were not fully cooked. I was not happy. My 4 other guest in the car were not happy with the meal at all. I could have gotten a way better Philly style steak sandwich at another national brand steak sandwich shot. I'm not sure what kind of sandwich others have taste that have given great reviews but that sandwich proves that it is not worth the money that we spent on it. I really wished I could have gotten my money back. read more

This place is always a must visit every time I venture out to Bellevue. I had their food at a food truck about 5-6 years ago and am so happy they have a store front. The Philly egg rolls are savory and seasoned to perfection. Tip/trick/ order online because their wait times are very long but they're very kind and great local business owners read more

My husband and I have been wanting to check this place out for weeks. He's from Philly and has been disappointed to have not found an authentic Philly Cheesesteak place in Nashville...until now. It'z A Philly thing makes AMAZING cheesesteaks. (I preferred it to the one we got in Philly ) We went to their food truck at one of the local festivals they were at so service was a little backed up (10-minutes for our food), but the food was 100% worth the wait. I also got a Tropical Rainbow Water Ice and it was so good! (Water ice has a very similar texture to Italian ice). All in all, whenever my husband is looking for an authentic Philly Cheesesteak, we have a place to go without hesitation. read more

Ordered at 2:28pm, received half the order at 3:18pm 50 minutes later, and the other half five minutes after that. My order was wrong too - the water ice flavor was not what was ordered, and it was a size smaller as well. Nearly an hour to receive food is an atrocity, while seeing people who ordered after us get their food prioritized. No special requests or any reason it takes this long. Not really that busy, what kind of food truck takes nearly an hour to prepare food that should take a few minutes? The only reason this place has any success is because it's in Nashville. It wouldn't survive in Philly, trust me on that. read more

Best Philly CheeseSteak in Nashville. I've eaten so called phillies all over the city and none comes even close to this!

we stopped in Bellvue location we were sorta shocked after we got there due to the prices online when we ordered ,but when I say dont let the looks deceive you,well believe you me they were very clean, polite, and the food is amazing I wish they would put one in Manchester, Tn for real the food is cooked to order and the fk as vor is outrageously delicious. we bought two sandwiches one was s combo and spent $44.00 money well spent...Thank you to the crew that served us tonight. read more

So glad have found this gem! I ordered the Original Steak Philly and my GF got the chicken, Philly. The Original steak has plenty of meat and I made 2 meals out of it. It was seasoned well and very cheesy! The Chicken Philly has different spices than the steak and it was also delicious. I think my GF win with the chicken Philly because I asked for half of the sub. I ordered the chicken Philly egg rolls and mad those things are a party in your mouth. So crunchy and the house sauce took it to another level definitely a must-try. My only complaint is the meat to veggie ratio my rolls were on a veggie side I believe there was cabbage in the rolls. I would come back and get the chicken Philly next time. read more

My friend and I decided to venture out since the weather was perfect for eating outside, and we decided to finally make the drive from south Nashville to west Nash to try this place out. It was well worth the trip and I will definitely be back again. I ordered the original Philly cheesesteak without onions and the medium cherry water ice. The cheesesteak had both whiz and provolone, plus Mayo (I know a lot of purists might be weirded out by this, but the Mayo really worked and made it even better because it melded with the melty provolone). The sandwich was fresh, warm, and the ultimate comfort food. The star of the night for me was the cherry water ice- I'm pretty sure this is the only spot in Nashville to get authentic water ice. It was the perfect end to the meal with just enough tart and sweet. I loved it so much that I even came back and ordered a pint of it to take home! This place is the real deal and the best kept secret in Nashville! I can't wait to come back. read more

Only been once a month or so ago. I got a traditional Philly cheesesteak sammich, and it was amazing

I give it 5 stars but there are a few things that were concerning. 1) as other reviews state; it take 15 -20 minutes for you to get your food, as long as there is not a single person in front of you. 2) the portion is good but you do pay a nice premium for the sandwich 3) the hours are different than what shows on the google search 4) no call-in orders without paying over the phone (I don't feel comfortable paying over the phone and want to order ahead so I don't wait 20 minutes for a sandwich 5) I'd go more often but I honestly don't feel like waiting so long. I do want to mention that the people who work here are very nice and they do have good customer service. Never had a service issue from these guys, smiles all the way! read more
