Stopped in for lunch today. Food is ordered through touch screen kiosks. Selected the Philly Cheesesteak Fries. The description said seasoned cheese fries topped with shaved ribeye and American cheese. On the left side of the screen there were options to add peppers and onions and other things. I just wanted meat and cheese. I placed my ordered and then asked the young lady working if the cheesesteak fries is just meat and cheese on fries, right? She said yes. I said great that's all I want. Food came out and it's loaded with onions and red peppers. There was no option when I ordered to remove onions and peppers and I specifically asked the girl before they made my order and she confirmed it was just meat and cheese. So that was annoying. Also, when fries are served loaded with cheese the fries should be cooked until they are crispy these fries were mushy even the ones that didn't have anything on them. Some seemed closer to being raw. No tables only window ledge and bar stool seating, that was not the issue for me just wanted to make it clear in case you were looking for a table to sit and eat. read more

Tried to go during their business hours and the doors were locked. It looks shut down on the inside but the kiosks are still on smh. Was really looking forward to it read more

I ordered the Ox Tail Cheesesteak and was very satisfied with it. Service was good despite them being busy. Price was a lot higher than I was expecting, but overall a good experience. I definitely think they could remodel the place a bit. The floors were pretty beat up and the downstairs eating area was a mess. I probably won't return but definitely recommend trying at least once if you're in the mood for a good cheesesteak! read more

If u want the taste of Philly, this is the place for u. The only thing I've ever ordered from here. They r amazing!

Service is rude!!! Omg please for the love of your peace don't go there. I'm telling you it will work your last nerves. Let's get into it. The guy who cooks / mgr ( I don't know what his title is really) he is just so rude and take forever with your food!! And I was there for when he was interacting with his employees. All I have to say is I keep y'all in my prayers. read more

I came here on Thanksgiving Day to find a friendly restaurant owner belting out some of the best Philly Cheesesteaks. I ordered the Chicken Philly, which was delicious. Chopped chicken, pepper jack cheese, onions, green, red, and banana peppers all for a hearty sandwich (that I will be coming back for). From great ingredients to a quintessentially urban-chic atmosphere, the owner never fails to impress. read more

I was crsving a phillysteak cheese sandwhich and I came across this spot on yelp. I placed my order online and scheduled it for delivery to my house. I ordered the surf and turf phillysteak cheese sandwhich with french fries. The surf and turf comes with a few pieces of shirmp over top of the phillysteak meat. It also had their special melted cheese over it. The fries were really seasons and good! My food was freshly prepped and neatly bagged. Usually when I order delivery my stuff is thrown around and not neatly packaged so I was glad that it was not like that. Would love to visit the spot in person one day! read more

Nice little hidden spot in downtown Norfolk recommended by a friend. It's very small but clean. The person taking the order didn't want to be at work that day. She wasn't rude but customer service could have been better. I ordered the oxtail egg roll, small chicken Philly and mango lemonade. Eggrolls were great!! Philly was just ok and lemonade was too sweet to drink. That's probably just a preference thing. I'll go back to get egg rolls read more

Very sad to give a less-than-stellar review of this place because I had such high hopes and it's been so hyped up. After months of trying to make it over, we finally came on a weekday for lunch. Location is right on Granby near many other incredible establishments. We walked in and I was a bit surprised to see that it wasn't very busy. Love the artsy vibes and decor inside. There isn't much for seating, just a few high top seats against the windows, but no one was eating there when we stopped in. Service was lacking, to say the least. Ordering is done through their tablet/kiosk, which is totally fine. However as a newbie to this place, I had a few questions and was hoping for some recommendations from one of the experts. The gal who was standing nearby acted as if the questions were a major inconvenience. No eye contact, one word answers, etc. After placing our orders, the food came out semi-quickly. We requested them to be dine-in, but they were packed to-go instead, so we decided to just take them home. When we got back to the house, we realized that neither of our meals were prepared exactly as ordered. I had ordered the cheese sauce on my Philly, which was not added and my friend asked for no onions which were plentiful on her sandwich. Overall, the sandwiches were decent but nothing incredible and with the unwelcoming service and incorrect orders, I probably will look elsewhere when craving another Philly. read more

Okay. I was born and raised in Philadelphia. Just moving here thought I'd give them a chance. They say the owner is from Philly so yeah, this may be good. Wrong. Several things. One that stands out is the kiosk (eye roll). I cannot say no salt and pepper on it. I can't say much. We ordered two cheese steaks and two onion rings. 1) the cheesesteaks were slightly salty. They were not filled like the ones from Max's or Jim's or Paganos in Philly. The beefiness was missing. He could add cooper sharp cheese to the menu. 2) The onion rings would have tasted better if he did not use his bare hands and eat one from our order. Yes sir. I saw you and it was not cool. 3) The bar with the pickles and peppers was SAD and looked unsafe. Sorry. Pre package them and add them to the kiosk. I don't t know what part of Philly you are from ( west, north, south, uptown, chestnut hill, germantown, brickyard) or other but this was nothing reflective of those places. It's like you open a Jamaican store and dumb down the spices because someone says the rice and peas is too spicy. People here may love it, but this Jawn knows the truth. read more

The oxtail cheesesteak is one of my go to's when I come to Major Phillies. I also like the jerk salmon philly and the egg rolls are great too! One of the best restaurants in the 757 area hands down and the customer service is top tier as well! read more

Major Phillie Cheesesteaks - Oxtail Philly - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

The cheesesteak was nice and cheesy! The meat was tender. I thoroughly enjoyed this classic. The bread wasn't too think nor too thick. The brothy flavor made this one to desire. The fries are the soggy long cut. I'm personally not the biggest fan of this style. The service was cool. You use the kiosk tablet to order and pay. I do have to say the ambiance is lack luster. It has a cool graffiti vibe in the front, but the downstairs is pretty empty. I feel like the decor is not complete. They have such a cool spot, I hope they are able to continue decorating it. Overall, a super good cheesesteak to satisfy that craving. read more

Checked this place out on a Saturday around 1. We got there just in time to put our order in the kiosk immediately. There are three kiosk setup to order and one was down at the time. By the time we were done there were at least 20 people that came in to order. Establishment is very small and has not seating or waiting area. There was one employee bagging orders and taking cash from Customers. In my opinion they can use another person to help with crowd control as it gets very packed quickly. You couldn't tell who was waiting from who still needed to order. Food took about 15-20 mins. Ordered the Philly cheesesteak with peppers, onions, cheese and mayo with Parmesan fries. Daughter ordered something similar. Food was fresh and good however our meal was about $40. I do want to try their oxtail cheesesteak so I'll return but definitely not in the weekends and definitely will prepare to take home as I wasn't expecting to eat in my car on this visit. read more

Sigh! I wanted to like this place so much. I wanted it to be better than Iggles so I can start going here instead. Unfortunately it was just ok for me. I spent over $100 on 4 subs, 1fry, 1 loaded fry, and a lemonade. I don't mind spending a lot of money when the food is amazing, but not for food that is "ok". I was excited for the drink choices, flavored teas, lemonades and what not. Also, the cheese whiz, and the seafood option on the cheesesteaks. Being from Baltimore, I was super excited to have an authentic cheesesteak spot with the shrimp option. However I was sadly disappointed by under seasoned meat, under seasoned shrimp. The fries had more seasoning than the shrimp and the meat itself. I don't think I'll be back for the food, maybe the drinks. read more

Back in January, Yelp Elites were given the chance to check out Major Phillie for a complimentary meal consisting of a 6-inch cheesesteak, shrimp tacos (which were added to the menu permanently) and garlic parmesean fries. Needless to say, the meal was delicious. This time around, my girlfriend and I decided to head back for a 2nd round of cheesesteaks. Could this be a successful return or a Debbie Downer waiting to happen? Ordering was simple once we walked in. Go to the counter and use the touchscreen to select your meal. Both of us selected a 6-inch surf and turf sandwich (mine included ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, Provolone cheese and sweet peppers), Garlic Parmesean fries and bottled water. Like before, we dined in. And just like the last time, a very delicious time. The beef and shrimp were both seasoned and cooked to perfection and the fries were perfect. Within 15 minutes, my meal was......take a look at the picture and you'll see for yourself :) Once again, Chef Allen and his staff delivered. The drive from Newport News was truly worth it. read more

I ordered Cajun Salmon cheesesteak.. and it had no cheese or mayo no condiments at all just dry bread and salmon with peppers. I didn't think I needed to add or ask for cheese on something with cheese in the name. The stormy blue lemonade tastes like blue Hawaiian Punch and the fries were terribly salty. The only thing decent was the jerk chicken egg roll and even that was a 7/10. For a proper seafood cheesesteak I recommend Our people's soul food seafood unfortunately they were closed today! read more

When we heard there was a Philly Cheesesteak place that had cheese whiz, we had to take a drive. Parking was not to bad when we arrived. We opted for the paid lot just around the corner. When we arrived we ordered on computers. Kinda like you do at Wawa.. another Pennsylvania staple. Ordering was simple. Once we ordered we found seating downstairs which was great for my family of four. It was a tad bit cold down there but quiet. The walls all over had names of areas in Philly. It was great! They even had sports teams. The staff was great. They were always checking up on us and brought us anything we needed. I appreciate that extra mile. M The food arrived pretty quick. My favorite was the cheesesteak egg rolls! Nice crunch and good flavor. I loved the bread with out cheesesteaks. The whiz was not the best for me. Not sure why. It was slightly cold and had a lump or two. Other than that my steak was great. Next time I'm going to get American cheese and extra onions. My husband raved about his Jerk Chicken steak! He devoured it. In all we had a great time and enjoyed the food. I loved all the small Philly details around, especially the Herrs chips... another Pennsylvania staple! read more

Major Phillie Cheesesteaks - I devoured that!!! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Came here for the first time on my lunch break with a co-worker. The staff was friendly and the Philly I had was pretty good along with the fries. Next time we came to visit we noticed some changes. The menu options and prices were different (which we liked) but also, we noticed a change in the Philly cheesesteak and fries. The meat now is more of a ground beef consistency which I personally am not a fan of and the fries also changed to be a bit thinner (which is fine but just unexpected). Not really a fan of my Philly my second time around but the staff is still incredibly nice and if you like your philly's that style I would recommend just not my personal preference. read more

Good day, great people! Had the opportunity while on my travel and eat 2024 we were in VA Beach and I saw this place on social media so why not try it for myself! I like to rate based on Service, Atmosphere and of course FOOD! Service (5 stars) lol because you order from a machine and therefore you can take you time and customize your sandwich and what you want to eat. Plus the setup is a carry out with about 4 seats to sit down if you want to eat there. Not a big space, just a heads up. Atmosphere (4.5 Stars) this is a nice spot, it was clean inside and the staff (well the gentleman in the front who calls your order when it's ready was nice) they play that good old school music which I like. Food (4.25 Stars) now I went two days first day I ordered the Oxtail Cheesesteak with Mayo, Sweet peppers. My wife had the chicken cheesesteak now she told me her food was very well seasoned and delicious how ever when we came back again she said it was good but not as great as the first sandwich. My sandwich was good, wasn't great but tasty, I got a good serving of oxtail. The second sandwich I got was the original cheesesteak sandwich with Mayo and Provolone Cheese and it was decent. I would come back if I wanted a sandwich and I was in the area but I'm still on a mission to find a GREAT cheesesteak sandwich. Ohhh I had the Oxtail Egg Roll and it was good especially with the sauce I was given to dip it in! That was good! read more

Man. These were the best cheesesteaks I've had outside of philly, and could be better than the ones I had IN philly. Let me start with customer service. We'd never been there and had a bunch of questions for the staff. They treated us like old neighbors, bantering with us and were incredibly helpful. They told us how to order, and made sure we were taken care of from the time we walked in the door, to the time we walked out the door. Some might wonder about the wait time, but to me it just speaks for the quality of the food and everything is fresh. I went a little non traditional with the pizza philly, and learned I like it like north side Philly style with the provolone. Perfect amount of sauce so it wasn't soggy, but amazing flavor. If you're looking for something good, they are well worth the visit. read more

The hours here are pretty limited so I was glad I could come in to grab something. I was hoping to order ahead online to avoid waiting, but their online system was down. I ordered the regular philly cheesesteak with some toppings. I chose to try the cheese sauce because it had a great flavor when I tried it. The only problem was that it leaked out of the sandwich a lot which made it kind of messy so I'll stick to a solid cheese next time. But other than that the sub was very good and super filling. The portions of meat were very generous. I had the seasoned fries as a side and those were very tasty and flavorful. And I believe I chose the mango lemonade which was smooth and refreshing. The shop wasn't that busy when I came in but it still took a while for my order to get ready so be prepared to wait potentially. Looking forward to coming back to try the oxtail cheesesteak! read more

A Black-owned Philly Cheesesteak and comfort food spot is exactly what Granby Street didn't know it needed. Chef Allen and his crew really work hard to make every customer feels welcomed. I've been here twice and really enjoyed the food. They put a good amount of meat and cheese in their subs and their meat is of good quality. Both the surf & turf and the seafood cheesesteaks were pretty damn tasty (and went perfectly with a side of french fries and ranch.) I also highly recommend getting the watermelon iced tea with your food, it's the perfect drink to have outside when the weather is nice. Overall I can't wait to see what this place has in store for the future, and I can't wait to work my way through their menu. I have my eyes on their extensive list of eggrolls and burgers for future visits. #SupportBlackBusiness read more

The food was below average in my opinion for a Philly cheesesteak. Especially when there are other places that make an amazing cheesesteak in the 757 area. But I had been wanting to give this place a try. My family and waited for over 30 minutes for 3 sandwiches. 1 was a 7 inches the other 2 were 12 inches and the only thing on them was mayo, onion, and pepper 1 12 inch had mushrooms that were not put on it. The wait would not be a problem if the food was good, correct and if the place was busy but were the only people in there. In addition to the food the customer service was non existent. Needless to say I will not be returning and do not recommend if you are wanting a good Philly cheesesteak. read more

Not a bad lunch. Cheese steaks are very good (could have more cheese in my opinion). 20 inch is a pretty good deal for people who are interested in sharing a combo. The combo meal is lackluster compared to other restaurants in general but good for what this restaurant is. The reason behind this is the quality of fries that come with the combo and the absence of fountain drinks. Any of the fry options are good but, overall, I would probably just go to Charlie's the next time I want a cheesesteak. Service was slightly slow. Waited at least 20 minutes during lunchtime on a Friday. Extremely limited seating indoors and outdoors but the street view is very pleasant to be surrounded by. read more

Major Phillie Cheesesteaks just opened and they're off and running as a great new spot on Granby St in the heart of Norfolk. The cheesesteaks are 100% legit Philly cheesesteaks. They use luscious, grass-fed shaved ribeye beef and Amaroso's rolls along with the right seasoning to make a real cheesesteak that tastes amazing. (If you're wondering how to build your cheesesteak: fried onions and cheese are a must.) Major Phillie offers all of the right cheeses to suit your taste. (Whiz, Spicy Whiz, American, Provolone) The shop itself has the look and feel of a local steak shop like you'd find in any given Philly neighborhood (I mean that in the most complimentary manner). While I was waiting for my steak, the shop owner was friendly and clearly proud of what he had to offer. I didn't try anything else yet, but they offer a surprisingly broad menu beyond cheesesteaks to include specialty eggrolls, cheese fries, and a variety of po'boys. The shop was clean, bright, and followed COVID protocols. read more

This place is THE WORST. Upcharged us for a sesame roll, and after we paid, THEN they said, "Oh, we're out. Sorry" No offer of a refund. Just staring at us like we were speaking Chinese. The seasoned fries - i guess if you call salt "seasoned" then yeah. And the $5 cup of lemonade wasn't cold, tasted like metal, and don't ask for ice because they don't have any. What a waste of money this place was. The food was mediocre at best, and not worth the $35+ per sandwich. They charge gourmet prices for trashcan taste. NEVER AGAIN. Don't waste your money!!! read more

My sub was great but, it was definitely a little pricey for cheesesteaks. Also, the downstairs seating area could use some TLC to make it more inviting and less like a dark basement. Service was good and friendly too. Id go back but, not regularly because paying $55 for two sandwiches, two orders of fries (not fresh cut btw) and two bottles of water is crazy. read more

It's ok I wasn't heavily impressed. I tried this place because I received a restaurant gift card. For lack of a better term I tried "loaded" fries, they were simply ok, the quality reminded of that of baseball food. read more

2nd time trekking to Norfolk for Major Phillie but the first time ready to stand in line to see what all the hype was about! As they say on instagram be prepared to wait!!!!! 2 hours in from end of line to ordering. They even offered "water ice" for our patience. Which was quite refreshing Now for the food. Let me tell you it was worth the wait!!!!! My order consisted of the Oxtail Phillie, Major Phillie (both can be customized via touch screen menu) and Cajun onion rings. Amazing from first bite to the last. Will definitely return!!!! read more

I decided after multiple unsuccessful attempts to try and beat the lines and head down to Granby Street. Upon entering the restaurant there were no customers there only two cooks and a young lady servicing the front. The customer service was nonexistent. You enter your order on a touch screen and then just wait. I ordered two egg rolls and an order of onion rings with a flavored lemonade. The food was tossed in a brown paper bag and the lemonade was handed to me. The food was disappointing. The egg rolls were tiny and flavorless and the onion rings were a tad bit too large and overly crispy to the point that they cut up my mouth. The lemonade was also overrated for $5. The presentation was lack luster at best. A white to go box would have served better. I'm not sure if my expectations were set too high but I'm happy to say this was a one and done for me. I can find better food for less on Colley. I think I'll just stick to those spots. read more

Oxtail cheesesteaks lacked flavor and barely had any meat. I didn't like the salmon one either.

Been wanting to try this place due to all the good reviews from the past yelp elite event. Like any other place on Granby street, it's difficult to find parking especially on the weekends. The place is small with limited seating indoors but also has 3 high top tables outside. We ordered the beef phillie and added spicy whiz, mushrooms, bell peppers and jalapeños. Overall it was good, I wouldn't say it's anything special but does fulfill a Philly craving. We also got a side of garlic parm fries but by the time we got home, it was kind of soggy. All in all, a decent place with good value if you're in the area. read more
