This place is a portal to small town PA somehow. My wife Is from PA and I have obviously been there multiple times as well, there is definitely a vibe that is found in this place. The restaurant is unassuming....in fact, it has just the right amount of "dive" feel to be authentic. The folks in here are uniquely PA (I didn't have to ask-they just are). Service was friendly too. Really this place isn't especially close to a lot of other businesses, yet it still was fairly busy.....folks apparently know about authenticity..... I ordered a regular cheesesteak w/ curly fries. It was the right amount of greasy to be considered A PA cheesesteak. The meat was a good consistency. The size was....well, more than I could eat in one sitting. I had asked for Swiss as a substitution for white American and the folks here were happy to customize. My wife ordered the pizza cheesesteak.....it was topped with a red sauce and Parmesan. It looked rather tasty too. My son had ordered something called a cheeseburger cheesesteak (minus the cheese)....this was literally some hamburger patties cut up on a hoagie. Interesting....a perfect novelty to be honest. I felt obligated to order a cheesesteak on my first visit here to experience it, but to be honest there was plenty of other sandwiches on the menu that seemed appealing. I saw them making a Rueben of some sort that looked amazing, too. Don't expect to walk into high-class dining here. You get served on paper plates and eat at a sandwich shop diner table that is littered with local advertisements.....but that's part of the PA authentic charm in some me ways. Don't let it discourage you. The dining area was open, clean and friendly. Most importantly the food is tasty! read more

With the usual misgivings we entered the portal to the order area. People were walking out with big smiles and hungry eyes. Ok ... we ordered their so called mighty cheesesteak sandwiches. OMG ... it weighed 20lbs (ok exaggerating); it WAS weighty and stuffed with meat. Got those suckers home and devoured one sandwich between us. Delishisness!!! The other was lovely laid to rest in the fridge for tomorrow's stuff-fest. Don't hesitate... You will not be disappointed!!! read more

A taste of Philly in Sanford.... Their cheesesteaks are delicious and while they don't have the traditional orange Cheese Whiz, the white American is just a different color and is equally as flavorful and tasty. If you are GF, their salads are filling but it's a wheat paradise of Cheesesteaks and the Hogies that are the main draw. Missing your East Coast roots, this will be home away from home and take you back to Rocky, the Flyers and Philly... read more

LaSpada's - Sandwiches Near Me - Sanford, Florida

I have gone here many times over the Years and never had a bad experience until yesterday. We went there 30 minutes before closing so we didn't see our food until we got home which was after 5pm and this business was closed so I didn't call, I went there this afternoon after I got off work to let them know everything we ordered was either wrong or bad. I tried to nicely explain this to the Manager and he was rude and belligerent, wouldn't even let me explain completely. He basically called me a liar. We didn't want a refund but our food re- made because what we got so bad we couldn't even eat, it went in the trash! I explained that I never had a bad experience there before, this was a first time and I was very nice about it but he was EXTREMELY RUDE! All I can say is I am beyond disappointed, we spent almost $60 on our order that went into the trash! read more

First, what's good about this place. They know Philly food. If you're from there, you'll see that (and hear it) right away. Also, their portions are crazy large and they care about what they make, and their customers. We ordered the quintessential Philly food, Cheese Steaks and we were a bit underwhelmed. There was a LOT of steak (which one would expect from Philly) but the flavor wasn't there. It was a bit dry but full disclosure...some Philly steak places make them like that so... My wife's Chicken steak was very good. Another plus is the bread. Not sure if it's Amoroso but it's excellent. So not bad on this review but not the best I've had in the Sanford area either. We'd still go back. read more

Philly native, very critical of my steaks. Definitely pleased with this bad boy, would go back for sure.

Wow! What a crew that works here! They opened the doors 5 min early so we went in and was almost the first ones to order. We ordered 2 Philly 8" combos. While we were waiting they had 2 people on the phones taking orders. One order had over 20 sandwiches! At this point there's a steady stream of people coming in. Our sandwiches were so fresh off the grill. It was amazing to watch this team of workers do their job in such a enthusiastic fashion. My husband had eaten here two times before while going to a bowl game a couple years ago. We actually drove out of our way to come here before heading back to Georgia. It's located in a strip mall and so easily to overlook. One note, a lot of people were ordering the tuna. At a place like this it made me wonder how outstanding their tuna must be. They prefer cash, but also take credit cards. read more

I ordered the cheesesteak after craving for one and reading the reviews. Uber eats even had a bogo which had me pondering...if it's delicious, why would they have one entire sub off? Welp my suspicions were right. This was the worst cheesesteak I ever had. The meat smelled so bad , I hid it in the fridge at work. The bread was nice and soft, great portion but the taste of the meat was nasty. I m easy going when it comes to judging food. So if I say it's bad, it's bad. I only tried the cheesesteak so I can't have an opinion on anything else. I'm open to try different foods from this place but not the cheesesteak. read more

If you're looking for the best Philly cheese steak hoggie in Central Florida you've got to pay a visit to LaSpada's. This is a genuine Philly restaurant that relocated to Florida. The cheese steaks are tastytastic. They're all made to order with fresh ingredients. Highly recommended! read more

Friendly staff with a good menu. Seating is limited. The Rueben was fantastic. The steak and cheese was good but a bit on the dry side.

Hands down, the best cheesesteak that I have had in the Orlando area. Lots of meat that held together nicely, not greasy, lots of cheese, nice soft onions, perfectly spongy/crunchy bun. The real deal here is the cheesesteak. Yes. The fries were only okay, but that's a side. Urns of tea (one sweet, one unsweet) and a brand of soda that is neither Coke nor Pepsi. The store shares parking with an auto mechanic shop so the parking can be tight at lunch time. Only a few tables inside, so consider taking your cheesy meaty goodness to go. read more

I'm a traditionalist but if you want a great Chicken Philly cheesesteaks this is the place I had their 8" special w/fries and drink awesome value.

If your heart harkens back to a true Phily Cheese Steak you should jump in the right now. As a traveler, I've been to Philadelphia and loved it. LaSpada's is a good memorial to the good things Philadelphian. Been here multiple times. Surprises remain outside the door. Sandwiches are always properly done, generously portioned and very tasty. Do not skip out on the fries. read more

Just had the best cheesesteak at the Sanford locatio, and the staff were amazing, joking and keeping us laughing. I highly recommend this place. read more

The CheeseSteak was really good tasting! BUT not really Philly-Style; they didn't do a good job chopping the steak with the onions, peppers & mushrooms . Plus when they served it to me, it was very messy and not appetizing looking. They get a ZERO on presentation. When I 1st visited them in 2016 or 17, the presentation was almost spot on. Maybe they are getting tired? or Lazy? Anyway, I have family in the Newbold Area of So Philly, same block as Faragalli's Bakery & 4 blocks from Geno's on So 9th. Most people know the area for having 5-8 sandwich shops. The Cheese Steak is king in that area and many people come across the Benny Frank bridge from Camden & N. Camden (NJ) to get authentic Philly style food. You got Cosmi, George's, Pat's.... a whole bunch more. Laspada's is good and deserve a visit BUT not authentic tasting (sorry) as it did when I 1st ate there. You'all gotta wake up!!! I give it a 4 for the taste but a 2star for everything else. 3 1/2 stars. read more

They now have an APP! Don't get me wrong they were well worth the wait, this I assure you. The Phillies will put you a delicious food coma. Fried mushrooms always keep me coming back along with the swiss burger. 12/10 definitely recommend. read more

The real deal Philly and Italian subs! Hanks of Philadelphia sodas available, along with Herr's chips. Everything is delicious!

Today we tried LaSpada's for the first time. The place, although not too huge inside, was packed with locals. This was a great sign. I ordered the Steak Supreme (mushrooms, onions, green peppers) with Provolone instead of the American white it is listed in the menu as coming with. Jacob got a Pizza Steak (Provolone, onion, pizza sauce) but with no onion add pepperoni. When asked what size we wanted, we responded "huge" :) (By their standards this means 12") The sandwiches were lovely. The ingredients were juicy and not over cooked. I really liked the bread which was soft and a bit flakey. Not too thick. So many philly joints use mediocre bread but LaSpada's does not fail here. Our sandwiches were packed with meat and toppings. I think next time I might ask for extra cheese. We also got a side of curly fries although I saw another table got the regular fries and they looked good too. Fat and thick. Everything comes out fresh and cooked to order. There were a number of hot sauces by the fountain drink dispenser and tea (sweet and unsweetened). We really enjoyed the rock music that was playing. Also to note - there was a sign which boasted that they brought back Cuban sandwiches. I was soooo tempted to get one but I had my heart set on trying their Philly. Next time for sure. All in all. Two giant phillys, tray of curly fries, and two drinks - 29$ read more

OMG if you have had a cheese steak or Italian from here you are missing out!! Only disappointed is they changed their hours and close at 5:00 during the week. Prevents me from getting my fix for dinner now! read more

Very good food. Great service. Love a LaSpada's sub sandwich. The food is delicious we enjoy eating there.

Always great food, fresh and fast!. The staff are always friendly and efficient. The restaurant is well maintained and clean.

It is a small fast paced lunch place. Limited seating. Mainly grab and go. They serve huge portions of wholesome food fast. I had the tuna salad. The amount of tuna was at least twice as much as elsewhere and it tasted like grandma made it. The salad also had a great variety of greens and trimmings. Definitely had enough left overs for dinner as well. My husband had the Philly Cheesesteak. Very tasty. Heaping with meat and gooey cheese. You will not be disappointed. read more

Best Philly cheesesteak sandwich around... highly recommend you try if you haven't!!

This is a filthy trash restaurant, run by filthy trash people. It is the worst steak and cheese I have ever had. The restaurant is dirty as hell. And if you get delivery, your driver is filling your drinks because the people at the restaurant are too lazy to do so. Somebody who has been in and out of restaurants all day and not washing their hands is filling your drinks. read more

I've been to the one in Lee Rd & now the one in Sanford. I can honestly say the food is consistent & just as good as the one on Lee Rd. Still a damn good representation of a Philly cheesesteak. My only pause here is that the bread seems to be a little weaker - the hoagie roll seemed to crumble under my normal order. I still stand by this - Too many businesses clutter their cheesesteaks with too much extra - it's a very simple equation for an authentic Philadelphia cheesesteak. Make sure the meat is made of a good cut, sliced thin. Get a good hoagie roll with some wiz (cheese whiz - do not knock it till you've tried it) & grilled onions. Give me some hot peppers on the side. Done. Only other option is pizza sauce - in which get some good provolone. Don't put green peppers or salad or whatever - keep it simple! This is not a "sub" folks it's a cheesesteak. There is a huge difference. My husband could not indulge in a cheese steak today so he got the steak salad. That was a complete treat for him, it was pretty much the meat on a cheesesteak but slapped on a salad - a healthier substitute. What was remarkably unhealthy (but oh so delicious) was the bag of homemade croutons that comes with it - I was not participating but indulging today - my goodness those croutons were amazing). As always, the guys that work in the kitchen are Philly tried & true. They are to the point & love the food - don't expect the Southern sweetness here, they are Philadelphia so there's no syrup here. It's a taste of home to me. read more

I've passed this place for years, always saying "Someday I'll stop." I wish I hadn't waited so long. Today I tried an 8 inch cheesesteak and a side of zucchini fries, which came with ranch dressing for dipping. Both were hot and delicious. The flavor of the beef, in particular, combined with just enough cheese and onions, mean I won't be driving by again without stopping. And the portion size is great - enough for two meals, for me. read more
