    1/2 of my 10" Cheesesteak Sub
    Sheri L.

    My very first experience with Philly Connection has been an interesting one! I ordered the Cheesesteak Sub. The bread is the size of a Footlong Hotdog Bun... LITERALLY!!! I knew something was strange when I picked up the sandwich and it was super light.. LOL There isn't much meat. Guess you can't have a lot of meat with no bread! It's a no for me!

    Best cheesesteak around! I have tried them all over the country and most of the original spots in Philly. This one is a runner up for #1. Bread is perfect and fries are always cooked to perfection.

    This is the SMALLEST, BAREST (But somewhat tasty) philly cheese steak I've ever had. I knew something was wrong when I grabbed my order and my sandwich felt feather light. So overpriced and not worth the $20 I spent on the sub, fries and fountain drink. Very disappointed. Never ordering here again. Bummer.

    Ordered some wings. This is what I got. Called the store and was told this is how they do them. Burnt black and soggy. Straight into the trash--all of them.

    Good food fast. May not be the authentic Philly style but the cheesesteaks are the best around here.

    Not having been to Capriotti's for a couple of years, I thought I would take my husband to check it…read moreout. We arrived at around 2 pm and there were 2 people eating their sandwiches. The service was very good. Very polite and attentive. As an aside, I have to say that wanting a tip for just making sandwiches, is annoying. Anyway, I wound up tipping 10%,which was about $3.50. It's crazy how the prices jumped! $7.99 for a mini, which is 4 inches long. I got an Italian sub and got the small size for $10.99! And that's without even a pickle to keep it company! My husband ordered a tuna sub, a medium for $11.99! And an order of fries for $3.99. The fries were delicious, crispy and hot, right out of the fryer. The meat on my sub was indistinguishable. It tasted alright but not like a real Italian submarine. I have to add that the table was dirty and we had to clean it before sitting down. I guess we have to lower our expectations or just stay home.

    Greeted by friendly cashier and they took the effort to bring my order to the table instead of just…read morecalling by name. The place was hopping with both dine-in and take-out orders, but there was an employee hustling to clean the tables on this Friday about 1PM. I managed to find a clean table and filled my cup while waiting (they have a Pepsi fountain machine). To sample a couple of different sandwiches I got a small Chicken Chipotle Crunch and small Grilled Italian with a side of fries. I should have gone with mini as small is quite generous and filling (see pictures). I liked the fried onions in the Chicken Chipoltle Crunch and most of the favor came from the sauce. The tomatoes on both sandwiches were a bit too pale and tasted watery. The Grilled Italian was definitely the more flavorful of the two with great seasoning on the meats. The bread was nice and soft. The side of fries were of the coated variety and were fresh, hot, and crisp with the breading having a great seasoning. All the hard surfaces and glass windows made for quite the echo chamber, and even with half the tables occupied the noise level was quite considerable. There is a variety of seating with bar, booth, and table (different sizes).
