The cheesesteaks were solid, but its the cold subs that keep me coming back. Right off the top, one thing you will not complain about with LaSpada's is that they didn't give you enough meat on your sandwich. Holy smokes, they pack about as much as they can into their subs and then throw on some more just because. That is not a bad thing at all because their sandwiches are very good. Certainly better than any of the chain stores like Subway. I have tried a couple of their cheesesteaks and they were both good. But I honestly enjoy their grilled ham and cheese and their cold subs a bit better. Also, keep in mind the amount of meat and toppings you get when deciding on a sandwich size. I have yet to meet a single person who ate the 12 inch sub by themselves in one sitting. Beyond that, the service is fast and friendly. If you are in the mood for a great sandwich, you would be very wise to check out LaSpadas. read more

This has been on my list for quite some time. I love a good cheese steak, and I've heard for years that LaSpada's sits nicely in the top two Orlando-area restaurants for a good, authentic Philly cheese steak. I still prefer the sandwiches made by their main competitor in the cheese steak arena (who happens to be far enough away to be hardly considered competition, unless you live equidistant to the two), but that's not to take anything away from their food -- it's fantastic. I ordered a large cheese steak with mushrooms, and "large" was a bit of an understatement. It was overflowing with meat, cheese, onions and mushrooms. It's great enough to earn the four stars despite their less-than-stellar seating area, which is a bit dirty and tends to be the same temperature inside as outside but without the breeze. I tend to overlook things like that when I've got my face in a delicious cheese steak though, so I'd definitely return when I'm in the area. read more

SO DELICIOUS. Husband and I came in to grab some sandwiches since we were spending the day demoing the ol' house. It's kind of hidden in the strip off of Lee Road. The decor is nothing special, but a bunch of friendly men welcomed us from behind the counter. I ordered the cheesesteak with fries and my husband had an Italian sandwich and cajun chips. The sandwiches were incredible! It was about $18 for the two sandwiches, fry, and chips. As we walked out with our take-out, I was starting to think it was a bit pricy... I was wrong. My cheesesteak was amazing and my husband's Italian sub had about a POUND of deli meat on it. I'm not kidding. Definitely stop in for an awesome sandwich! You'll definitely have enough for a second meal. read more

I never really paid attention to this place though I've been to the music store in this plaza a few times. I kept hearing about LaSpada's lately and my friend and I were nearby and he said it was good too so we went. I got the 12" cheesesteak with extra onions and sweet peppers. It was good but not the best I've ever had. It was also huge and packed with meat. They have Herr's potato chips and fountain drinks including sweet tea. They also serve fries, coleslaw and macaroni salad. Cheesesteaks served with a side of attitude, go check em out. read more

Yes! This is the Philly Cheesesteak you've been looking for. I'd like to say this place is a hole-in-the-wall based on the plaza it's located in, but it's so much more than that. With tons of pictures of Philly as well as celebrity photos and autographs on the wall, this place is a throwback to the old sub shops I remember visiting as a kid when visiting family up north. A nostalgic throwback for sure. As far as the cheesesteaks go, you have to go with the original cheesesteak with fries. Fresh sliced steak, gooey melted cheese, pepper and onion. And all made fresh on the grill while you wait! Trust me, you will not regret having been to LeSpada's! read more

Nothing to write home about. Hot curly fries and unseasoned Cheese steak. Place needs to be remodeled and wouldn't hurt to clean the floors and tables too. I work in the food industry, and help open up restaurants for big chain restaurants. Saddened that my 1st will be my last time at this location at least. Here for a few days, and was told to come here by owner of Yogurtland. Maybe he got good quality food, but I surely didn't!!! read more

LaSpada's - Dirty floors and tables, even when the rush comes in, is inexcusable. As customer's, we see everything!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is one of my favorite spots to pick up for lunch at work. I love both the cheesesteak and the chicken cheesesteak. The sandwiches come in multiple sizes and are filled with meat, so much so when eating some of the extra meat might fall out. They do not skimp on that at all. It is possible to customize toppings, which I normally do, by adding extra cheese, mushrooms, onions, etc. The curly fries are also so great. The only downside I have really experienced is that they seem to be out of the curly fries a lot recently. They normally still have the seasoned fries, which are good, but not as good, as the curly ones. I would definitely recommend trying LaSpada's for lunch. read more

Grew up on this in Chester pa! So glad to have found out that there is a lil bit of home here in Orlando!!!

Very good food and very good service. I came to Orlando for two months for school and was recommended by someone in my class. LaSpada's did not disappoint at all. I've eaten there twice now and if you're getting the burger prepare your stomach now. The patty alone is at least an inch and a half thick. They get really busy so if you wanna get in and out get there before 1145. read more

Located on Lee Road in a old Shopping Plaza. You might not think to go there if your from out of town given its location. I can honestly say this is one of the best places to go for a PA cheese-steak. If you can't find it immediately, just look for the only place with a line going out the door! For sure, you have to try this place once. read more

The delivery is worth the wait...trust me! Just joined in an order in a Friday afternoon and although we had to wait, I know I'll next visit the location. On Lee Road to sample more of this tasty awesomeness. I'm a big fan of Hot Dog Heaven. What LaSpada's gave me was its equal - maybe it's better. I unrolled a hot dog and fries fit for a queen. I've been thinking about it ever since. Next, I'll return for another dog or the mushroom cheesesteak. Be HUNGRY for this place and you will be sated. read more

Thank you Yelp for helping me find this place! I probably would have never tried LaSpada if it weren't for yelp. This is not a place you would pass by and say "that looks good lets stop there". Inside is decorated with lots of Philly type memorabilia. Places to sit but nothing fancy actually kinda dirty looking. The food a different story... My favorite is the Italian sub. Tons of meat and you can put what you want on it. Huge and delicious! Cheesesteak and meatball subs are other great choices. Place has always been packed every time I have gone during lunch time so be prepared to wait at least 15 minutes for your food. If you are in a hurry I suggest you call your order ahead. read more

The cheesesteak definitelyhit the spot. It was huge in comparison to cheesesteaks that I've had at other restaurants. The amount of meat was almost unmanageable. Great customer service. read more

Holy holy maccaroni! This place is the best kept secret for Philly cheesesteaks in Orlando. Not too greasy but just enough grease. Perfectly melted cheese. Fries are usually fries, but these steak fries rock. Try it TODAY! Go, right now!! read more

Ok, I just moved from Philly down to Orlando. With that being said the cheesesteak was a staple in my diet. Once I moved down here I had to find an actual authentic Philly cheesesteak. This is about as close as your going to get. Dont expect much from the place inside, but you can really taste where they put their effort. Place feels like a little philly take out place. Ordered : Cheesesteak Hoagie - If you dont know what it is, then get it! P.S. The best hoagie roll I've had down here. The bread makes the sandwich, remember that. read more

love their philly cheese steaks! best in town! and the best part of all is that they have curly fries too

LaSpada's is the kind of place you walk up to thinking, "This place better have good food because it looks like a dump!". Well, LaSpada's does not disappoint. The inside has a grimy, disheveled appearance similar to the outside. Make your way to the back counter where you place your order. I ordered the mushroom cheesesteak combo with curly fries. I waited for my to-go order in some nearby chairs. The kitchen was bustling with hurried cooks and bursting with the yummy smells of good food a-cookin'. My cheesesteak was ready about 5 minutes later- absolutely piping hot. I so wanted to try it but it was a good 10 minutes before it could be eaten without burning my mouth. Boy, it was worth the wait! Ooey, gooey, cheesy goodness! It was actually smaller than I expected but delicious nevertheless. The fries were your standard seasoned curly fries and went well with the sandwich. Staff was only as friendly as the had to be and no more. These guys are definitely about making some delicious grub first and foremost. Still, I look forward to coming back. read more

This used to be included in the regular rounds of lunch places with my co-workers. For some unknown reason we stopped going here. Today we decided to go out for lunch once again and La Spada's came to mind. Holy Meat!!!!! It is still really good. It is still really popular at lunch. The bread (white bread) is soft and tasty; It is everything that sandwich bread should be. The meat is fresh. The veggies are fresh. I was pleased to see bright red tomatoes on my sandwich. I ordered the Italian special with everything except the peppers and it was meaty goodness. The 8 inch is good enough for most humans. I probably should have taken half of it home....but I didn't.....I ate it all. Now tummy all sore. Skip the chips. Seriously. You will be too full to eat them. More tips: Be patient. It takes time to make a good sandwich. Don't expect a high class facility. You come here only for the food. read more

Love me some LaSpada's. They have a kick ass chicken philly here. I have been in search of a place with good cheesesteaks and chicken phillies. This place will make you want to slap some people up in Philly it's so damn good. The place is a little small. I'd recommend just grabbing and going. I do believe they deliver to certain areas. One issue I have with this place are the hours. They seem to close around 5-ish I believe. Which sucks because I would destroy some LaSpada's for dinner!! Oh well. Still worth checking out. Oh by the way, you might want to check your attitude at the door. Some of the people there are from Philly and don't give a damn who you are. Also you might want to let your food cool off a bit before sinking your teeth into it. read more

No 5 stars since it's really not complicated, but somehow this place does it much better than others. 'It' being cheesesteak subs...or hoagies or po-boys, which is what I'm used to. Get the 'supreme' CS and share it. Even their smallest size is enough to share with a bag of Herr's potato chips. Just make sure you don't burn yourself. Just wish they sold Yingling and stayed open longer. I think they close at 5. read more

Solid cheesesteaks! From Philly and I can say they are up there with the best. My lack of five stars was because the eating area was not large enough and not as clean as I would have preferred. But as busy as they were and with only 3 workers I can understand. Will return when back in the area. read more

Best authentic Philadelphia cheesesteaks and hoagies in Orlando. Go hungry, you will get filled up. LaSpada's serves real Philadelphia fare using the right meats, and most importantly, the right rolls. They bring in Amoroso rolls from Philadelphia (only one size of their rolls are Amoroso, but their others are close in quality). As every good Phillyphile will tell you, there are two options for hoagie and steak rolls and Amoroso is one. Neither are readily available outside the city. Both help make the sandwich. Cheesesteaks here are served fresh, piping hot with generous amounts of steak. They are even more generous with the meat and cheeses on their hoagies. Although other local supermarkets and chains have good sandwiches, they pale in comparison. The place usually has Herr's chips and Tastykakes to help compliment the Philadelphia experience. Dining in is fine, but don't expect frills. Its exactly like a deli/hoagie place should be. Take out works fine here as well. If you're bringing a sandwich back to the office, you will have jealous co-workers. Its not easy to find in a strip mall off Lee Road, but its worth driving a little. A definite recommend and must go (often!). Getting hungry just writing this! read more

This was my first time here and I do have to say it was yummy. It was recommended by Firestone as my car was getting new tires. You first come in and you kind of wonder hmm, by the look not normally somewhere I would just come straight into, but oh my goodness!! It was amazing!! It was crowded with people that were equally enjoying what they purchased. The employees were all informative and friendly. It made me want to work there, and they all seemed like they enjoyed their job and worked well together, which is great because everything had a very easy flow. The portion sizes are huge and well worth the money. I loved it!! Thank you read more

This place is very good! I stopped here for lunch just to check out what the hype was lol. To my surprise this place was very good I ordered a large mushroom cheesesteak. It was a generous portion of steak. The customer service was okay. A lil pricey but in my opinion it's definitely worth it. I will be going back soon. read more

Went in for lunch today. I had called ahead and they told me 15 minutes. I was there 15 minutes later and the food was ready and bagged. I paid for the order and brought it back to work and it was delicious. Great job and thank you again for the positive experience. read more

Best cheesesteak and hoagies in Orlando. Period. It's a dive - and not super appealing from a visual aesthetic stand point. But don't let the rugged interior/exterior of the place fool you. This place is legit. I just visited Philly and couldn't help comparing the cheesesteaks to La Spada's - it's the closest thing to Philly but with far better service. I would often take work colleagues here for work and they were always impressed with the food quality. The cold hoagies are so big you'll probably half enough left over for a second meal. A bit more pricey than other place (by a few bucks) but worth every penny. read more

I have been looking for a deli like this ever since I moved to Orlando...finally found it! I got the Italian 12" and this thing is a meat monster! can't wait to go back and try the philly, they looked bomb on the grill. read more

LaSpada's - Basic cheesesteak, onions and cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I've been going to Laspadosx for many years since I discovered it while passing by. It's worth the 40 minute drive. The cheesesteak is great. At least as good if not better then any I have ate in Philadelphia. They use excellent steak that is tender and tasty and grill it perfectly. They pack the sandwich with lots meat and cheese. I get mine with onions, green peppers, mushrooms and onions. Then I get a side of hot peppers which I add to it as i devour this mammoth sandwich. The roll is also very good. Fresh and just the tight consistency. Next is an Italian hoagie. Many options to choose from on toppings. I get oil and vinegar oregano and onions and then I again get the side of hot peppers which are amazing. They also have great sweet peppers which I add on the side sometimes as well. Again the sandwich is overstuffed with meat and cheese. Great combinations of Italian meats with wonderful spices. Next I like the sausage peppers and onion sandwich. Great Italian sausage. Delicious and just the perfect spices. My wife like the BLT. The bacon is delicious. Cooked perfectly and great taste. They overstuff sandwich so there is always some extra leftover. My daughter liked the chicken cheesesteak. Chicken was tender and tasty. Don't forget the French fries. Served hot and just the right amount of crispness. Staff always very hospital and accommodating. Suggest you try to avoid lunchtime. The line can get long but it does move quickly. read more

Cheese steaks are an art and this place is a gallery. Want a real philly cheese steak here is your place. I've been going for years and it never disappoints anyone. I think anyone complaining on here has to be from philly and is used to their corner store that made theirs for so many years nothing else tastes right. You judge a steak on how you want it and they have it all mine every time at any shop is Amoroso roll, Plenty of meat, I like extra cheese so I order it that way, sweet and hot peppers, grilled and raw onion, and black pepper and hot sauce at the table. The place is really good, the sides are awesome, I even tried a burger and it was amazing as well. Cash only so you know read more

Ordered lunch with my husband at 12:10 and I still don't have food at 12:50. We waited so long I had to take him back to work and come back to pick up my order now as a to-go meal...now I'm back in line, still waitinf...this is so ridiculous. They are doing so many call in orders they aren't concerned about the customers waiting in their restaurant, and their are like 20 people still sitting waiting for food. I hate posts like this, and love to support small business, but they clearly need to hire more help. read more

I had the Philly cheese steak combo, now for the price I paid I expected the sub to be loaded like a giant jersey mikes sub, even though it wasnt there was no disappointment here friendly staff awesome food. My experience at that sub shop was 10/stars but I could only rate 5. read more

One of my favorite places in town to grab lunch. Philly's are amazing and best part is you can order ahead and beat the line.

The Philly Cheesesteak is awesome. Lots of meat, properly grilled onions, CheeseWiz, and just the right amount of "wetness." And, it is on a decent tasting roll. You can tell they make their sandwiches with a lot of love. Give 'em a shot. read more

One of my favorite sammich spots in all of Orlando. Huge sammiches! I mean HUGE. Truthfully for the price the size is amazing. They're not cheap, but they give you so much you don't mind spending the change...I know I don't. The staff is always lively and fun. I've been coming here for quite some time (originally the other location) and I'm never disappointed. The only problem I have is it's across town from where I live. Truth be told, I make the drive happily (giddy in the car) knowing I'm about to have sammich excellence. Thanks LaSpada's your commitment to good food stands out. Keep em comin! I know I'll be there. read more

I've recently tried this place a couple times for lunch now. The Cheesesteak is just ok, there is a much better place in St. Cloud and a few others around I've tried. They barely put any cheese or toppings on the sandwich but there was plenty of meat. The first time I had a Traditional Cheesesteak the second time I tried the Supreme Chicken cheesesteak and the chicken was very dry. Service was super slow. It took over 30 minutes to get my food both times and they were visibly and loudly arguing behind the counter. There were several frustrated customers who were waiting for their lunch like me. The area is open where they cook the food, so you see, and hear, what is happening. I was hoping for better, after the second trip I doubt Ill be back. read more

I grew up a few miles from their original location in PA. I now live in SWFL and specifically drove out of the way to come to this location while in Orlando. This was such a wonderful taste of home! Will be back for sure next time I'm in Orlando. read more

Had my first experience at LaSpada. I never knew it was right around the corner from me - could spell trouble for my diet! I ordered the mushroom cheesesteak as is - It was great! But, they could use a good deep cleaning. The kitchen is visible and I watched the chef work her magic but you could also see how dirty everything was. The grill had old residue on sides, the ventilation was cased in grease and floors had layers of old food lying around. It left me wondering if I would regret it later... Fortunately all I got was a full belly! read more
