    Water Ice tropical
    Jasmine C.

    Shout out to my girl Brooklyn (Yelp elite girly) who has visited this establishment multiple times and persuaded my visit. I will say if you're deep into Nashville prepare to drive a little ways to reach it. But it was worth the drive. Staff here were super friendly and welcoming. Being this my first time they were willing to help me navigate what to get to get a taste of a little of everything. I ordered a kids tropical water ice 5/5. Definitely needed considering how hot it was outside this day. Philly cheese with steak....this right here was buss'n. They stuck their foot in this sandwich. When I mean it was worth the drive, IT WAS! The chicken fries were good and enough to split with 2 others. I prefer the steak over the chicken, but you can't go wrong with either. It's a Philly Thing definitely did their thing. I'll be back

    I've been hearing about this place for so many years and finally made it out to try it. I just always assumed that Nashville doesn't have great Philly Cheesesteaks. These are so good! It'z a Philly Thing is based out of a food truck, so don't be confused when you're looking for it. There's plenty of parking around so you can go there to pick up food and go or sit at one of the tables they have in front of the truck. To order you just go up to the window and order on the screen that they have. So it could even be easier to order online ahead of time. My boyfriend and I ordered the Original Philly Jawn (Steak), the Zy-Zy Jawn Steak, and the South Street Fries. The sandwiches were both so good! I liked the flavor of the original a little more, but I loved the textures and fullness of the Zy-Zy Jawn. I'd probably go for the second one the next time I go. The fries are also really good although maybe just slightly on the salty side for me. A pretty great experience!

    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)

    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.

    Half a Philly cheesesteak. They forgot the cheese

    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.

    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/

    HOLY MOLY! The Philly cheese steak is to die for!!!! The bread is so soft and warm and the cheese and meat are just amazing. It truly left me speechless.

    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.

None of those occurrences were even connected, just an improbable collision of different factors. But you don't have to be a Philly sports fanatic to enjoy this place. As a frequent traveler to Philadelphia who knows what a real cheesesteak tastes like, I can tell you Brotherly Love is legit! They get their rolls from New Jersey's Amoroso Baking Company founded in 1904, the only allowable bread for an authentic cheesesteak. They appease all cheesesteak aficionados by offering the three most popular cheeses including provolone (always my choice), Cheez Whiz (crazy, but some people swear by it), and white American cheese. Even more impressively, they use Cooper Sharp, Philadelphia's preferred American cheese for cheesesteaks founded in 1893! Wow! They know their stuff! Ordering products from the Amoroso and Cooper companies alone are enough to impress me. But the proof is in the finished product. And the cheesesteak here is indeed a wonderful sandwich. The meat had a couple of dry sections but was overall very tender. And the fried cheese curds with marinara are highly recommended!! Come check it out. And go Birds!!

This location, which sits in the Kroger shopping plaza at the Old Hickory and Highway 70 intersection hits the mark for the sub and fries, but misses it relating to cleanliness, condition and service. My go to at any Penn Station is the Pizza Sub, which is a hot sub with pepperoni, smoked ham, provolone, parmesan, oregano and of course, pizza sauce. You can add mushrooms and onions if you want...and of course I make sure to add them both! I always side the sub with fries. Their fries are fresh cut and dropped to order, so always a no brainer! This particular location has some issues with upkeep and service. There are always plenty of folks in the kitchen, easily four each time I have visited, and not one of them seems helpful for the most part. The lobby is usually in some sort of disarray with trash on the floors and tables, along with full trash cans. Just an unappealing spots to grab food in, or at least eat in. The food itself is always top notch, so I have to give props where due. Prices have increased a bit recently with some sandwiches pushing $13 for regular and a medium/regular fry being over $4. I go back and forth on if it's worth it, and to date...it still is, but it is a special treat spot for at this point!
