Great sandwiches and sides . Will drive a great distance to get one my favorite is the Shroom or the classic . The fries and onion rings are fried crispy and fresh . I have recommended this restaurant to family and friends and always get positive reviews once they try it . read more

Food great, counter staff unprofessional. Do they have to have a [confused] group discussion over every in-person order, every time [1st and 2nd visit]?‍ This group discussion took waaay too much time. When I got home 2 items [2 orders of fries] were missing from our bag. The second visit, I ordered the same wrap as 1st time, "Da Gumbo", but I got a much different sandwich than expected. ‍‍ read more

This is my boyfriend's favorite place and he brought me today. I was PLEASANTLY surprised. They had the absolute best Philly cheesesteak I have ever had. Everything was hot and fresh, made to order. I also really liked that everything was customizable and easy to order. My boyfriend wanted no peppers while I wanted extra peppers and wanted to add mushrooms. Very easy to order. I like that the Philly cheesesteak fries were an option since I do my best to follow a gluten free diet. Service was nice. We were able to serve ourselves and serve our own drinks giving it a cafe/deli type feel. Can't wait to go back and try more things. read more

Nice spot for a quick lunch! I stopped here on a Friday around 3pm. I went with the Classic Hoagie in the small (6 inch) size. Everything is made to order and you can watch as it's cooked. The menu is large. I decided to dine in. Inside is clean and there is a large tv on the wall. My food was hot and fresh. The steak was cooked and seasoned good. My fries were thick, hot, and crispy. The drinks are self served. I didn't care for the sweet tea so I changed to a root beer. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. They don't have dine in trays but I just ate on top of the wrapping paper. Overall, nice spot that I'd return to. read more

We stopped here for a quick lunch. We both went with the Philly cheese steak and fries. Everything was seasoned and prepared fresh. There were a lot of different styles of poboy to choose from. We will definitely return to try more items. read more

Honestly best food ive ever had in my life, the only thing that sucks is you literally have to be unemployed or retired to eat here because the hours are so inconvenient. Used to come here all the time when i was unemployed and had 0 other responsibilities. Now i cant even order it from a doordash or uber service, and never get off in time to stop by, please consider changing your hours to actually benefit the working class and i guarantee you'd see a rise in business. read more

I went too long not trying this place. Simple concept, very casual, but excellent at what they do. The Philly cheesesteaks are amazing! Be prepared to wait a bit during the lunch rush, but hey, just a good sign it's well loved because people line up every day to get it! I'd recommend the Cajun cheesesteak and if you're avoidant of spicy things like me get it without the jalapeños and light on the chipotle mayo. Flavor is so good and always fresh! read more

The sandwiched here are freshly made and are tasty. They have a good variety of sandwich options and additional toppings. They are busy everytime we go. Seems to be a popular lunch spot in the area. It was pretty smoky inside, so we waited for our order outside. Other than that, the staff was pleasant and so was the food. read more

Philly Me Up - Menu - American Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Everything was fresh my only issue was that there wasn't much surf in my surf and turf. There were maybe 3-4 shrimp in my large sandwich. The person at the counter was kind. I loved how quiet it was and it was very clean. read more

04.28.24 Got the classic for lunch today. I had my daughter pick it up for me so by the time I got it (10 minutes later) the top piece of bread was soggy. Not the restaurant's fault. The sandwich was delicious . . meat was seasoned and the cheese was melted. I would definitely oder again but ear there. Going to try the beer onions rings too Give them a try, don't think you'll be disappointed read more

B-b-b-bruhhhh. I have likely previously posted stars to PhillyMeUp but more are deserved. Regular Cajun combo and you will be good to go (maybe even in a food coma afterward). Simple and consistent cheesesteaks. Newer crew did well at the usual 11am rush. Arrive early or late. My recommendation is 1050AM or after 12noon. Calling ahead to order is advised. By 1130 the line was well beyond what you see and for good reason. Great job PhillyMeUp. Keep it up. *Today was especially busy at lunch and good for them. However, my order was consistent as always. Delicious. read more

Philly Me Up - a group of people in a restaurant - American Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Born and raised in Southern New Jersey, I would call myself a cheesesteak aficionado. I am always hesitant to order cheesesteaks outside of the tri-state area for fear of disappointment. I happened to stumble upon Philly Me Up and it piqued my interest. After reading another review posted here from another NJ native, I was convinced I had to try it. The food: Any Philly or Philly-adjacent native would know that one of the keys to the best cheesesteaks is the roll. Philly Me Up does it right! The not only ship in the proper Amoroso's rolls from Philly, but they ship in their steak from Philly as well. BLOWN AWAY by the dedication to keep things authentic. Many non-Philly cheesesteak places (including that franchise by Mike) also miss out on the other key ingredient - the whiz! Philly Me Up has got it all! If you're homesick for a really Philly cheesesteak you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for a Louisiana flare, you also won't be disappointed. Hubby got the Cajun steak, which was spicy and delicious. We were a little disappointed in the cheese fries since we both like crispy fries and these were a bit on the softer side. The generous portion of liquid gold (cheese) made up for that part, though. The locale: The inside of this place felt super authentic as well with a few tables and high topics, but it seems most people order take out. Prices: Prices are super reasonable, especially for the quality of the food! I'm already thinking of when I'll be back at Philly Me Up! read more

My grandsons first exposure to a Philly cheesesteak. He loved it and wanted to go back the whole weekend.

5-stars Food and service is good. Recently tried their wings and found they are possibly some of the best, and cheapest in town. Love their Philly sandwiches as well. Not many good eateries in North BR, which again makes them convenient for me. B. Walker read more

Love this place you can always count on the meal to always be on point. Service does not disappoint either.

Service was the best part of my experience. The food is overpriced but, good. I wanted to like it better than I did. The Philly's was seasoned very well with nice flavor but, at those prices paying for extra meat you would've thought more. The onion rings were too greasy for me. The sweet tea with added lemon was on point. There are several different types of sandwiches - shrimp, chicken, classic beef, and then various combinations. My husband had the Voodoo added jalapenos to his and he loved it. I had the Philly with mushroom and Swiss cheese. The meat was juicy without dripping in fat and I could taste every flavor. read more

We had lunch here today & we both got a Cajun Philly Cheese sub, it had lots of shaved chopped steak, pepper Jack cheese and jalapeños all had Cajun seasoning and it was super delicious it was very juicy. We also got a cheese fry which was super yummy even though the fry's were frozen they were delicious smothered in the cheese whiz sauce / liquid gold sauce lol. We will most certainly be coming back here.. everything was cooked to order and served piping hot just as it should be. read more

I've been on a favourite cheesestake hunt and I finally found one !! This is definitely the best I've had in Louisiana, all that burst of flavour added to the flavour from the pickled topping was really great. I'm giving a 5 star because it was a perfect experience. The waiter was really sweet and patient while attending to us, the steak was well cooked and extremely flavorful and the sitting area was very cool. I'd definitely be going there again. read more

Great quick Philly and staff is extremely friendly!! I've tried several different items but the classic is still my go to!!

This place is Amazing! Customer service is a 5 Star review! We have been eating here for years, and they have never got an order wrong and the food is always hot and delicious read more

Visited for the first time this past Friday. My mom ordered the voodoo and I had the Cajun Hoagie. Both delicious! I tried calling take-out a couple of times but phone was not picked up. My mom has eaten here a few times so she convinced me. We went after lunchtime rush but they were still fairly busy. There were a couple of people ahead of me so it took around 5 minutes or so to place our order at the register. Our food took a bit to come out as well but it was worth the wait. This place seems like a lunchtime spot, but as I mentioned previously, it can be slow. There are no waiters and so the booths weren't the cleanest. I will note that the staff at cash register were very friendly and apologetic for the wait time. read more

Absolute gem of a place. Best Philly Cheesesteak I ever had. Prices are great and service is quick. A must stop in Baton Rouge

Dude.. so good and so cheap! I ordered a classic philly, cheesesteak WRAP, and onions/fries. Honestly, just skip the onion rings and go for the fries. Onion rings had no flavor! The cheesesteak wrap was so so good. If you love a juicy, flavorful, saucy, delectable wrap then I'd definitely recommend! I'll be ordering this again tomorrow. Hahah The hubs order the regular Classic phillysteak and fries. Pretty tasty. Now I will warn y'all to order around lunch time way before. Do not come in and order to-go or else you'll be waiting a good 16-30 + min. This place is popppington during lunch! read more

Awesome, just awesome! We've had most of the Philly's and they're all fantastic. Treat yourself and get some onion rings!

I've been on a tear of trying businesses that have been in my bookmark list to end 2021, and I'm happy to say Philly Me Up made the cut. Be prepared, this place is PACKED for lunch. To go orders and dine in, they are movin and groovin to get people in and out quickly with a pile of delicious food. I think my favorite part of this place is their variety. There are several different types of sandwiches - shrimp, chicken, classic beef, and then combinations of all the above. THEN there are variations on the Philly Cheesesteak itself - I went with the cheese, onions, and mushrooms in the small size. The small is PLENTY for lunch even if you're hungry. If you want leftovers or are sharing or if you are one of those people that orders the illegal at Izzo's, go for the large. Expect a good meat to bread ratio and for the bread to support the meat - you know what I mean poboy enthusiasts. This is a bread that's more substantial than the French bread we know and love without adding the extra thickness where all you taste is bread. The meat was juicy without dripping in fat and I could taste every flavor of the mushrooms, onions and peppers and beef with the white American on top. Get you a side of fries or onion rings and you've got yourself a tasty lunch for a great price (mine was $12 with a drink, side, and sandwich and I was stuffed). Run not walk y'all! I can't wait to go back and try the shrimp sandwiches and salads! read more

The poboys are consistently good and hit the spot.. fries are always served hot out the grease which is how I like them. They used to have good Heinz ketchup in the pump to fill little cups but since COVID they only give out terrible cheap ketchup in packets. Ruins the fries, so I bring my own. (I always dip my fries in Canes sauce so I started keeping the the small Heinz packages for when I come here. .. too bad they close EARLY on Wednesdays, I drove here not realizing that they had hour changes. read more

Philly Me Up - New Hours in the door. Would have been nice to know they close so early on Wednesdays BEFORE driving through traffic to get here. - American Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Absolutely Stellar, I'm a NJ native so cheesesteaks are a staple after any Phillies or Flyers game, I've been down here since 2002 and nothing ever comes close to my after game Tony Lukes or Genos. It's a small place, nice crowd, clean environment and super nice staff, lots of smiles, They even had the sunday eagles game on (this was on a Tuesday), which I appreciated because they just had a big win and that was exactly what I wanted. The cook was a young, quiet gentleman with a baseball hat, And like I said, I'm kind of serious about my Cheesesteak, so I stood by the fountain and watched him on the grill for a minute and I knew It was going to be great, This is absolutely 100% what I've been waiting for all these years. The place nailed it and I'll be back every month. read more

Philly Me Up - Two Originals, full sized, with cheese wiz, a gumbo full size, two orders of fries, and a small wrapped mushroom cheesesteak - American Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Decent CS. 50 cents for condiments and a cup of tap water makes me feel like I'm being nickel and dimed.

I come here pretty often when I want a sandwich because I don't like cold sandwiches. This is a rather small place! When you walk in there is a long counter with a register and you can see behind the counter where the food is being prepared. Every time I have come there is a good crowd (lunch time). All the food is prepared to order so be prepared to wait a little bit. This is a good thing. I have never had cold food from here. I get the lagniappe on either a hoagie or a wrap with extra cheese. The fries are good and so are the onion rings. I have had the surf and turf too. I have not had anything bad from here The staff that takes the orders are always super nice. On this particular visit the sweet tea was running low. I had to ask was more going to be prepared. (I did feel like I was bothering him by asking him so I asked another after him) the first guy did start making more. Over all really good visit and the food is enough to keep me coming back read more

Wish I had a pic for you but everytime I get a steak porboy I eat it as fast as I can. I have eaten here over 10 times and never gotten a bad sandwich. What else can you say. Give it a try read more

Was in town for a couple of days on family business . Saw reviews and stopped in for a shroom philly. It was BUSSIN! We are quickly so no pics. Highly recommend family run place read more

Good Sandwich, but Not Great I ordered The Surf N Turf (Grilled Steak, grilled onions, grilled shrimp & white American cheese) and added jalapenos. The sandwich as a whole was ok, but for $10.25, I would have expected a loaded sandwich. The sandwich was skimpy on the meat, onions, and jalapenos. The shrimps were not cleaned and deveined. There was literally about 3 pieces of jalapeno peppers and about 3 small shrimps The cheese was melted on the bottom of the sandwich and np cheese on top. The sandwiches don't look anything like the pictures on the company's website. This place is very busy so be prepared to wait, read more

The best Philly cheesesteaks ever! They have tons of options, the owners are great, and the food is consistently amazing. My favorite is the shroom, add jalapeño, and some mayo on the side. read more

My fiancé and I went to "Philly Me Up" for the first time yesterday. We were greeted with pleasant smiles and two very helpful employees that explained everything we needed to know about the menu (since we were newbies). So I was already a fan of PMU before I even ordered my food. I got "The Classic" and my fiancé got "The Cajun" Philly cheesesteak. It was delicious. I give this place 5 stars because the employees were so helpful and informative, and the food was prepared/cooked just to drive your taste buds crazy. We will definitely be back to this place! read more

Super good place. Never knew this place had been here for so long. Kept passing by as I live like a block away. Finally went in for lunch. Place was packed. Be sure to call ahead or avoid meal times if you're in a hurry. They have all kinds of twists to the philly cheese steak. I had the surf and turf which had shrimp on it. It was soo tasty. The sandwich is a little small but so good. Their onion rings pair extremely well so don't pass on those. I'll be back for sure. read more

Philly Me Up - Menu - American Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I wanted to like it better than I did. It wasn't bad but wasn't great either. Service was the best part of my experience.

Philly Me Up is a tiny little spot in a strip mall that is completely unassuming from the outside, but definitely venture in because these cheesesteaks are not to be missed. The staff here was super friendly to us on our recent visit, and although all the tables were taken when we arrived, a few cleared out just in time for us to eat. We got an assortment of cheesesteaks and they were all so good. Compared to other places I've tried steak sandwiches, this one ranks #1. (Even compared to the one I had in Philly!) Many reviewers complained of slow service, but that was not my experience during a busy lunch. The food came out pretty quick and piping hot. I'll be back. read more
