I stopped in for lunch with my wife on a Saturday. We were surprised to find that the place was empty with all of the shoppers walking around outside, but we were not disappointed with our lunch. We each ordered a junior cheesesteak - which is plenty big for an adult in my opinion. I added a bunch of toppings, and my wife went kind of plain jane with just green peppers and cheese. Both were served quickly and (very) hot on a tasty roll. My one negative comment is that the sandwich was a little greasy and messy, but that's like complaining that your beer is too cold. Anyway, the place was reasonably clean, the guys working the counter were nice, and we enjoyed our meal. I'll be back again. read more

I'm more of a chicken Philly girl at Philly originals. I've never had a bad sandwich there though. I'm really happy to see them expand into Ambridge! read more

Stopped by for lunch when I was in Beaver. Really enjoyed the meatball sub and French fries. Split the meal with my husband, was more than enough to share. Fast service was very appreciated. Cute outdoor seating. read more

Food was good but greasy I'd say definitely over priced for what you get...where I'm from you can get a footlong (cheesesteak) with added onions ect for 15 or less Place is always clean staff nice as normal! read more

They have great food and great service at both the Ambridge and Beaver stores. Would highly recommend both of them if you're in the area. read more

The fries are super hot with some great cheese coating the pile. Add some vinegar and ketchup and next time bacon for sure. Cheesesteaks are a must from this place. The melted cheese covering the meat and toppings went together perfectly. The bread was just strong enough to sustain a meaty juice attack and not give up the sandwich. The service was fast and friendly and they will even bring your order to your table. Typical sandwich shop decor on the inside and seating available outside. Lots of outside noise from the constant traffic crossing signals to the town fire whistle. With lots of food options in town, this place fulfills the sandwich target. read more

Had a great meal here. Sat outside it was hot and fresh. One of the best in the Pittsburgh area.

Philly cheesesteak was amazing and the cheese fries are the bomb! I like that they have Pepsi but also coke read more

Food is good but prices are too high for a hoagie ! Every add on is 50 cents so if you want a few pieces of tomato then 50 cents. If you want a few leafs of lettuce then 50 cents. Over cost for chicken cheesesteak with lettuce and tomato was 14.50 plus tax so 16 dollars and without drink or chips read more

A little bit of Brotherly love in Beaver... I decided to pop into a fairly new Philly cheesesteak place that my Mother-in-law has heard about. There was easy parking on the street in front of Philly originals and we had the place to ourselves at the time (great timing on our part, got busy before we left). They have a ample menu but I knew I was going straight classic cheesesteak, period. My wife went with the chicken cheesesteak and meatball hoagie for my son as well as cheese fries to share. The flavors were good, the meat was juicy and cooked perfectly. The bread was soft and fresh but the fries were the star of the night. The cheese sauce was delicious and plentiful. Overall the prices just ok for what you get, the sandwiches were tasty and everything was freshly cooked to order, Aloha read more

You can't really ever go wrong with Phillys. Every time you walk in the door and hear the bells jingle you know you are in for a mouth watering meal. The hardest part is deciding whether you are going to order an old fashioned steak or chicken.. today I solved that ancient riddle - order both and thank me later. read more

When we pas through Beaver we always stop for a Philly Cheesesteak with Hot Peppers and Cheese Fries. So So Good!

This is a tough one since there was both good and bad...and the good was REALLY good. Surprisingly, it was the hardest part of the equation (the cheesesteak) that was spot on, but the easier part fell short...the part that most every one else gets right on this side of the commonwealth. The bread. First, the name 'Philly Origials' sets an expectation for an original Philadelphia cheesesteak. While that definition varies slightly, even in Philly, there are constants that are almost universally adhered to. Philly Originals gets the cheesesteak part more than right with tender shaved beef, properly carmelized onions, and a cheese mixture that seems like more than just provolone...no wiz, but well within the bounds of accepted variation. It was as good as I've had this side of the Susquehanna. What fell short was usually the easiest part (and arguably as important as the cheesesteak)...the roll. The bread is usually a 12" Amoroso style Italian roll, slightly crisp on the outside, but not enough to provide significant resistance. The Philly Original roll was closer to the consistency of a French bread with crust that belies the traditional consistency of an 'original' Philly. The sandwich is 8 inches for the boutique price of $11.30, and was served in a styrofoam box instead of rolled in the usual paper sheet. To be fair, that same roll is also used for their other subs for which the substitution is less egregious, but if you're going to use the 'original' as your namesake, at least make the additional effort to pair the correct bread, both size and type, with what is otherwise an awesomely genuine cheesesteak. read more

Cheesesteak was seasoned well. Mushrooms and onions done perfect and bun was average. Price for a 6" cheesesteak was $17 totally crazy Save your money read more

They got rid of the macaroni salad, HOW dare they. 2/5 add it back or get a colder freezer!

They changed their cheesesteaks no nearly as good. I was disappointed!!! And they changed their fries and they are way too expensive!!

Philly originals been in beaver for well over 30 years as far as I know all is a good place for cheesesteak. I like my cheese steak, naked just cheese and steak and it's very tasty. read more

Growing up in Philly, I can tell you that the steak sandwiches are fantastic! Very authentic. Staff not so friendly.

Been to many philly cheese steak joints. From Max's,Jim's steaks, Pats king ,Joe's , Leo's etc. Put whatever u want on it lettuce, tomato's , cheese, mushrooms...whatever!! It's ur choice. This cheese steak was excellent. From the roll, nice soft crisp great tasting seasoned steak w/ juices soaking in the roll, I added my cheese when I got home VERY GOOD. The steak was a little on the shy side but made up for its taste. Excellent, fries, potato salad.. read more

Great spot for a quick cheesesteak and soda (pop for those who don't use 'soda') for a lunch or dinner. They do have other sandwich choices, but I haven't tried them yet. Anyway, I'm from South Jersey, you know, the other suburb of Philly, and for some reason everyone on this side of PA likes to 'Pittsburgheeze' cheesesteaks. It's not a 'Philly' original if its got too many toppings on it that isn't cheese, steak, or onions. Philly Cheesesteak ingredients should be as follows: italian sub roll, thinly sliced steak, melted cheese, onions, or mushrooms, or sauce. Done. It doesn't matter if its cheez whiz or not (sorry philly friends, no offense meant). Please, ya'll need to remember, no mayo and no other toppings unless the customer asks for them. Thanks! read more

Excellent Philly Cheesesteak! it took me a little over an hour to drive here from my place in NE Ohio, but it was well worth it. Ordered the cheese steak with mushrooms and a side of cheese fries. The steak was tender and juicy and delicious. It could have used a bit more seasoning (salt/pepper) but it was still great. They use provolone cheese which gives the sandwich a nice tang. The mushrooms were earthy and meaty, and added a nice richness to the sandwich. I added a few dashes of Frank's Red Hot sauce here and there to give it a little kick. The cheese fries were nice and crisp and came loaded with melty cheese. After a new bites, I noticed a little bit of heat. Not a large amount, just enough to take notice. Then I realized it...the cheese sauce was nacho cheese. Awesome! Washed it all down with a Hank's Vanilla Cream Soda. Mmmm. Food was great, the place was nice and clean, and the 2 young guys who waited on me were super-nice. Overall great experience. I *will* be back to this place. I just wish it wasn't so far from where I live. :) read more

$11.30 for a cheesesteak. It was good but $11.30 plus tax got a 6" steak. No fries no nothing. $2.65 for a fountain drink. Left here hungry. I really thought it would be a 10-12" steak. Wont be back. read more

The guy running the counter has a smile and is easy to deal with. I ordered a #9 which is a philly with it all and wizz. I might add it is delicious! The fries are ok, not my favorite kind but still beats McDonald's. I was excited to see all the craft soda selection and alternatives to high fructose syrup. Easily would be my spot if it was local to me. read more

Stopped here on the drive back from a trip to Pittsburgh. A small sandwich shop on the Main Street in Beaver; original, not a franchise. if the weather's nice, tables to sit outside. Specialty here is cheesesteaks, with a few other sandwiches on the menu as well-- Mary had the chicken cordon bleu. Check out the amazing assortment of bottled soda, too, and try out something different- watermelon soda, anybody?- from a company you never heard of. Small town America. The only eatery open on Sunday afternoon, but no complaints. The others were probably good too. But this one was locavore and nostalgia all rolled into one. Nice place for a light lunch. read more

I ordered 2 Philly cheesesteak over the phone for takeout. The person that took my order was very upbeat and professional. I was told it would be about 30 minutes. Pretty spot on. The sandwiches were great. Who needs to go to Philadelphia for a great Philly Cheesesteak. Just go to downtown Beaver. read more

Ok. So my previous review docked them for refusing to add ham to their steak & egg sub. Found out today that they aren't permitted to mix any meats... so dont ask for a steak and chicken, either. These are, by far, the best cheesesteaks outside of Philly. Although in and near Philly there are quite a few that outshine it. Basically, if you want an awesome cheesesteak without the 6 hour drive, gotta hit up Philly O's. read more

Sandwiches are still just as great. The only thing that was wrong with mine was that the cheese was on top NOT on the bottom like a true Philly cheese steak. read more

Great Cheese steaks at a great value! I have to say that his small restaurant in the small town of Beaver delivers a better cheese steak than Geno's. I don't really care which is the more authentic version of the original. All I can say is that the one I ate in Beaver was tastier, by far. Everything was made to order, the sandwiches were substantial, and they had a great selection of gourmet sodas for sale. I tried the cheese steak and the meatball sandwich and they were both great! The fries were great and they serve you a huge basket of them. Pretty much the only downside is that the food took a while because there was only on cook, but everything was well worth the wait. Did I mention it was also cheap? read more

Hands down the best Philly Cheesesteak I have ever had. No way could I ever go back to the national sandwich chains. So looking forward to trying the other foods. Wide variety of sodas. Friendly staff. Its another reason why the vibe in downtown Beaver is so awesome. read more
