    This place is the real deal. If you're looking for an authentic cheesesteak look no further. They'll give it to you how you want it and won't sacrifice tender, flavor steak, nicely grilled ones with a delicious roll. Nothing but good stuff to say about their place. Ohh yeah, you can grab a drink from the bar while you wait on your food. Amazing place!!!

    I believe this place is Philly owned and operated....meaning the owner is from here. He was there to greet me and gave me a pass due to being from Pittsburgh. Not to mention, him and his employees went around to check on us during the meal. They explained the menu to me, their promotions, and recommendations. I got the Quaker Steak combo with hot and sweet peppers along with Onion Rings and a drink. The sandwich itself made it hard to finish the onion rings. It's loaded as it's long, Meaty, and thick.....and more importantly, it's delicious. This will be my obvious go-to for Philly Cheesesteaks.

    Hot honey wings. I unfortunately started eating and then realized I didn't take a picture. Lol

    Have you ever wanted to visit Philadelphia for an authentic Philly cheesesteak? Well, if you're a Houston/Katy local, you might be able to skip the plane ride and head straight to Philly Flats. I first heard about Philly Flats when I watched a local critic review called, "Eat Like a Local with Chris Shepherd." He raved about this place, so I just had to try it for myself and I'm glad I did. The moment you step inside, you're surrounded by Philly memorabilia. It made me confident I'd be getting an authentic sandwich. And wow was I right. I ordered the Philly original with hot peppers and nearly cried after the first bite. The bread was soft, the steak was perfectly seasoned, and the portion size was just right. Straight hit! I also tried the hot honey wings, which were equally amazing; extra crispy, served hot and fresh. The fries were standard, just as I expected. To top it all off, I got the cranberry cheesecake, which was phenomenal! The graham cracker crust was spot on, and the flavor was rich without being overly sweet. The customer service here was just as impressive as the food. My order came out quickly, the staff was incredibly accommodating, and they even checked on me while I was dining in which I can appreciate. Everything was clean including the bathroom. Everything was also well stocked and the whole restaurant had a welcoming vibe. Verdict? Chris Shepherd didn't send me on a wild goose chase. This sandwich was one for the ages. Even though I live pretty far from Katy, I would absolutely make the drive again. I highly recommend Philly Flats. Enjoy!

    BEST WINGS IN KATY! Hands down! Forget about big city, forget about Buffalo, forget about Wing Stop, this is the place to go for wings! $.99 wings on Monday and Wednesday. We got the 10 piece, half hot honey and half lemon pepper. The most juiciest, seasoned wings I have ever had in my life. They tasted so fresh, I had to give my complements to the chef! And they stayed super crispy with all the sauce! I never ate wings so fast in my life, absolutely delicious! The owner stopped by to say hello and gave us some cookies to try. The cookies were so good! Nice soft and chewy. Definitely give this place to try, it's a hidden gem for sure. The hot honey and lemon pepper were so good.

    The customer service 10/10. Honestly one of the best Phillies I've had since moving to Houston. The flavor is there. Truly authentic. I had a Philly with fries, I will definitely be returning. There is ample parking and a nice seating area as well.

    First time at Philly Flats. The owner Scott was very friendly and attentive. The staff in addition was kind and greeted me when I arrived and left. The food was great. Hot, fresh, and made to order!

    So many menu options!

    If you haven't tried this place yet... you are missing out!! We have been here several times and tried so many things in the menu and have loved all of it! The wings, phillies, meatball subs, even the chicken strips!

    Logo says it ALL. Support these guys!!

    HEAVENLY MOST AUTHENTIC I almost cried while eating it! NOSTALGIC! We had the original with American and peppers on the side. Omg. It was so f-in good. Just like home. You gotta get the peppers. The cheesecake was the perfect consistency. It wasn't dry like NY style can be, it was silky and smooth and UNREAL.

The 1/2 lb of meat was somewhat satisfying, but you'll probably want a side (i.e, fries or tots) to make the meal feel more complete. Our friend ordered a shake and was unable to drink from it because the straw was designed too small for the consistency. Unfortunately, they didn't have any other straw, but not a big deal - just something to consider for the future. They don't offer free water. If you are thirsty, you have to buy a drink or stay thirsty. I'm not a fan of this concept because it's not going to force me to buy bottled water. I just rather not pay for bottled water, but that's preferential. I rather go next door to get milk tea afterwards. Not sure how I feel about tipping at a place where you order at the counter, clean your own table, and take out your own trash. Do people tip at Whataburger? The interior felt clean. They had a hand washing station up front too (though not sure if we were suppose to use it or if it was employee only). Come and give this place a try!

This time it did come with different sides - kind of cool, something different than the previous trip which was only in October. They said they said one of the high top tables near the bar and I thought it was kind of cool that the manager brought me a little coat rack thing to hang our purses on. We had two problems which is why it got 3 stars: 1. Our reservation was for seven and at 7:25. We had to go ask when our table would be ready and the reservations were made a week in advance 2. we were there for a birthday (2 couples) and we wanted the table side smoked old-fashioned so we ordered it and our waitress who is new didn't bother to tell us that it cost extra to get the table side. So they brought us the plain one from behind the bar, so we kind of missed out on that experience. Since it's $5 more expensive to do a table side, you would think that they would push for that to raise the overall bill for their tip. But her excuse when we mentioned it was "oh, you didn't ask for that. Its $5 more" Well, we didn't know we had to ask for it, thats not mentioned on the menu - we just thought it was part of the drink... but other than our waitress being inexperienced... it was a fantastic evening and we would still return.

Let me start by saying I've been here multiple, multiple times & I've never had any food items that weren't good. I always get breakfast (even if it's lunch time) so I don't know much about the lunch items. Not only is the food outstanding with a creative twist, it's consistent. Over the years, the place has expanded several times so now there is a decent amount of dine-in seating in addition to the outdoor seating. The place still stays packed but with their wait list in advance/text notification system & efficiency in seating customers, if there is a wait things move along smoothly. Additionally, anyone who is waiting knows it's worth the wait!! The service staff are friendly. The atmosphere is homey & they decorate for the various holidays & seasons. Owner/chef Lori is always walking around asking guests if everything is ok. On at least 2 occasions she happened to chat with me/my guest about some dietary restrictions & she whipped something up for us to try. My go-to dish is the harvest breakfast where you can pick 4 breakfast items from a list. This is a great way to sample more menu items. Here's my take on some of my favorites: - Sourdough pancakes are thin & really delicious. - Belgium Leige waffle is very sweet with the pearl sugar "nuggets" in them so taste them before you add a lot of syrup. - Scrambled eggs are well seasoned, not bland. - Avocado & tomato or the fresh fruit are nice light touches as one of the side item choices. - Fried chicken tenders are really good. Spice level 3 (medium) is not that spicy. It's flavorful. - Grilled chicken tenders are good. As much as I typically eat grilled or baked chicken, I allow myself to choose fried for these. - Grits are creamy. I get them with no cheese. I'm not a big grits person but I do like these! The menu is very extensive. It includes vegan, vegetarian, keto & gluten free. Is the breakfast a little pricey, the answer is "it's all relative." Sometimes it's just worth paying for a great meal. In case you haven't gotten the message, Harvest Kitchen is a must try. Do yourself a favor & have a visit. I'm betting it will stay on your list as a repeat eating spot!! Tips: - Use the text message wait list & signup before you leave your house. - You can always get 1 pancake on the side for $5. - 15% gratuity is included at checkout, as you pay you'll get options for an additional % or custom % like 0%, 3, 5% or more.
