I grew up just northeast of Philadelphia, in a state maligned by Jersey Shore and Bon Jovi. I consider certain foods to be part of my birthright, a trade off for Snooki and the rest invading from Staten Island: good bagels, good pizza, and good cheesesteak. I decided to pick Philly Ya Belly as a lunch stop on the way to a photoshoot in Mukilteo. I'm glad I made that choice. Great cheesesteaks, almost as good as home. I wish the cheese sauce was standard, not an option one has to ask for, but I can deal with that. Garlic fries are pretty good too. Ambiance is non-existent. If you're not there for the food, the bland decor and religious music might be too much for you. Even as I attacked the #19 (there's a picture of it here), I found the music to be unnerving. But, then again, I probably listen to some music that weirds people out too, so whatever. I have no reason to come back. I don't live anywhere near here. But I will be back. The cheesesteaks are worth it. As an aside, how does a place like this survive, not being open near a bar where drunken revelers can stumble in and order horrible-for-you food? read more

Now I haven't been to too many Philly Cheesesteak joints, but by far, this is my favorite. If you're in the Lynnwood/Everett area I'd recommend stopping by for an easy lunch. Definitely a mom and pops owned establishment. They use cheese wiz!!! The bread they use is also very good. Cut perfectly to fit the goodness of meat and inside perfectly without the fear of having your sandwich rip at the bottom. The pricing is fair, with 2 options of sandwich sizes. The regular and the belly buster! They've also got some sides to choose from such as garlic fries and onion rings. As for the location itself, it's quite small maybe with less than 10 tables for 4 inside. So far for a quick lunch I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Philly Ya Belly - #8 Pepper Onion Steak Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Everett, Washington

I highly recommend this place. We have never been disappointed, the sandwiches and fries are soooooo goooooood

Friendly owner and great customer service. Food was delicious order garlic cheese fries, one small original, and a small mushroom. Parking space is kinda cramp and the restaurant was off in the corner which was a little hard to find other then that everything was great. Very much recommended for everyone to come read more

The service is fast, the workers and the owners; are super helpful, patient, and very nice + the place is very clean! The food is hands down the best cheesesteak's I've had on the west coast! I'm originally from the east coast and this place, may even be better then some of the cheesesteak restaurants out in Philly, Jersey and New York! I definitely recommend everyone going here, at least once!! I give this place two thumbs up and five stars!! I usually order the Philly Cheese Steak, Onion Cheesesteak, Belly Buster, East Coast Cheese Steaks, and the loaded fries! read more

We loved this place! The food makes me go over again and again. We don't mind driving from Redmond to Lynwood just for this place.

Now, I've read the reviews for the Mukilteo location and none of those sound remotely close to any of the experiences I have had at the Everett shop. I have to tell you that this is some of the best Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches I've had to date. They're made fresh to order and the meat (or fixin's as I like to say) is piled high... like HIGH! Usually a regular sized sandwich is way more than enough for me... but, every once in a great while if I've done a situp or thought about exercising I splurge on the Belly Buster! Twice the size and twice the fixin's! Right now my personal fave is the Hot Pastrami Deluxe with the cheese wiz! Dear god if you don't feel your finger tips tingle while eating. Which reminds me... is it the left or right arm that goes numb when having a heart attack? read more

They had some of the best mozzarella sticks and their sandwiches are perfect the proportions are right on and not too greasy but just greasy enough I love how the bread actually holds all the innards unlike most philly's they just fall to pieces this one is perfect not to mention the taste is the best I've had in a long time. read more

I have 3 words to describe the Philly cheesesteak sandwiches.... NOM NOM NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!! My husband and I stopped here when we saw that there were 54 reviews with 4.5 stars on yelp. Plus, I haven't had a good philly steak sandwich in a very long time. For some reason, folks out here can't get it right...either it's too salty or they use the wrong bread. I got the 6 inch pepper onion cheesesteak... It was DELICIOUS!!! Like, melt in your mouth good... This was the new crack for me... It's gooey, sloppy, and stop your heart kind of sandwich... The bread was soft and chewy... The way it's supposed to be served... We also split a side of garlic fries.... Eh, I wasn't a fan on them.. But for some reason I haven't been agreeing with fry food in awhile... This place should be right next to a bar... So the drunken people can stumble out and sober up with one of these sandwiches... We did miss the turn in, but that's ok... It's on top of a hill at angle... So make sure you use your vehicles parking brake, when you guys stop at this restraurant.. Will I go back? Hell yeah I will... And my fellow yelpers, need to check this place out too... You won't regret it! read more

Oh man this place is good!!! So far the best cheese steak I've had in this area. The regular (small) size sandwich will be more than enough for most. I can't imagine ever eating a large. lol Garlic fries are great, cheese garlic is good too...would be better with real cheese instead of the Wiz. But I still recommend it if you're a cheese lover!! Don't miss out on this place, cheese steaks are yummy!!! :D read more

I usually don't even like philly cheese steaks because every where I have been they are chewy and hard to eat due to the big chunks of meat. This place chops everything up perfectly so it's super tasty and easy to eat. It's so warm with good flavor. I will be back! Place is very clean with great customer service. read more

Philly Ya Belly - Sandwiches Near Me - Everett, Washington

Delicious. You will not be disappointed. Kinda hard to find but worth the u turn if you miss the entrance.

Do not recommend, the cheese has the fake taste which is very over powering and we got food positing after eating here. Sad because it seems like a popular place and we really wanted to like. read more

How did I not know this was in the area?? Love a meat filled and cheesy Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Philly Ya Belly definitely hit the spot. First off, the restaurant is very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ordered take out and had a longer drive home because of the snow. After 30 minutes, my meal was still warm. The fries were packaged in a styrofoam but with a hole cut out in the top to prevent them from getting soggy. They were still crisp when I got home. I specifically got the garlic fries. It had just the right amount of garlic so I didn't get terrible heartburn like when I get the garlic fries at a Mariners game. The cheesesteak sandwich was he best I've had in the area. The cheese was melted in and I ordered the sandwich with extra meat. Needles to say I was very satisfied with the portion in addition to the flavor. Can't wait to go back!! read more

I LOVE this place!! Makes one of the BEST cheese steaks I've ever had. The bread is soft and warm while the meat is cheesy and delicious. Don't even get me started about the garlic fries... Oh my. Also the family that owns it is super nice and friendly and the place is always clean and tidy. From one Foodie to another, put this place on your 'to-eat' list. read more

Very Very good!!! Never knew this place was down the street from my house! Checked it out last night, and very happy! Get the garlic fries they are delicious and the Phillys were awesome! read more

Philly Ya Belly - garlic fries and mushroom and onion steak - Sandwiches Near Me - Everett, Washington

Highly recommend #2. Tastes just like the ones I used to eat in New York. This original sandwich tastes superior over all other menu items. Also highly recommend their fries. Doesn't get soggy and both leftovers still tasted great the next day. That's how I know they are really gooooooodd!! read more

First timer at this place today...ordered the small philly and garlic fries. To be honest I would only return if they changed the bread they use, or maybe I could pay extra to provide my own. Fries were ok. If you've had garlic steak fries at Safeco field you'll probably just want to toss these fries out. The overall flavor of the Philly steak was average. The soft white roll is bread overkill. I tore off about an inch and a half from both ends so I could reach the steak. Like others have noted its in a odd location. Staff was nice and the joint looked pretty darn clean! I can't remember prices, sorry. read more

Philly Ya Belly - Small Philly with garlic fries..meh. - Sandwiches Near Me - Everett, Washington

I've been going to this sub place for a vey long time. Their cheesesteak subs are irresistibly delicious. Ya see, I'm a cheese lover. What ever I'm eating, it's just a cheese vehicle. If you want the lines blurred between the meat and the cheese in your cheesesteak sandwich, these are the best. read more

Good sandwiches. You could never sell one of these in Philly but, hey, that's a pretty impossible standard. Good bread, decent meat, and good cheese. Good but not great. read more

Went here earlier today and let me start by saying the food was pretty good. I got the Philly Deluxe, garlic fries, and banana pudding. The sandwich (Philly) was stuffed with so much meat and gooey cheese. It was fresh and hot. The veggies were all fresh too and balanced it all out. I can eat A LOT of food and this alone almost filled me up. The garlic fries were fresh, crispy, and had the perfect crunch. The serving size for the fries was super small, I did get the small but i wasn't expecting only 10 fries for almost $8. I regret not getting the garlic CHEESE fries though. Banana pudding I would probably skip if I came again. It was very sugary and could use more savory flavors. Felt like I could only taste sugar and banana. Super granular. Wasn't expecting the price to come out to $30 for sandwich, small fry, and pudding cup but hey what can you expect around here anymore. Service was good and they are really friendly. It takes a lot for me to recommend a restaurant but I'd say give this one a try if your a Philly lover or looking to try something new! read more

Best Philly cheese steak sandwich in Everett! Combo 22 with garlic fries you will not be disappointed.

While this is not on par with a real Philly cheesesteak, these sandwiches are pretty close and definitely delicious. Avoid takeout as the sandwiches get soggy very quickly. read more

Deceptively good. From the looks you would think it would be bad. The place is in an odd location and you almost have to know where it is. But the food is good and the staff friendly. Best philly in Everett. Only down side is it is a little pricey. read more

We ordered delivery... it arrived fast and hot. And yummy yummy yummy. We longed for this, being from back east, and this more than brought us back home. Chicken cheesesteaks, mozzarella sticks and garlic fries... try it you won't be sorry! read more

Two words... banana pudding! We were looking for a sandwich place today and this was 5 minutes from our house. We can't believe we didn't know about it before. My husband and I both got a Philly and they were so tasty. The meat wasn't chewy, it was delicious and tender and the flavors were nice for what we customized ours with. We got garlic fries too and the fries were beautifully delicious. Okay so... on the way out, my husband was recommended to try the banana pudding next time and another customer echoed this sentiment. My husband came back to the car with.... banana pudding. He had gotten some right then and there. He doesn't even LIKE bananas but knew I'd love to try it. I SCARFED that stuff down before taking down my sandwich. Holy moly, mother of pearl! It was the BEST banana dessert I've ever eaten. Thank you Philly Ya Belly! Your pudding, along with your sandwiches, will keep us coming back- and I don't even write reviews anywhere, but this pudding pushed me over the edge! read more

New owners, still great service and food. Some nice changes too with the ability to pay with phone as well as the switch from styrofoam to biodegradable containers. Sad to see the old owners go but happy to see the new owners carrying on the same quality and friendliness. read more

I actually am a New Jersey native and grew up in Philadelphia and ate cheesesteaks and hoagies my entire life until I moved here. I had the mushroom-pepper-Onion Cheesesteak and mozzarella sticks. It was great. I'm very picky when it comes to how the meat is chopped and grilled and philly ya belly knows what's up. The bread is so good. They actually make an effort to have a great roll- as others use cheap franz supermarket rolls. This place is legit! Delicious food. Quality ingredients and really nice people who care about what they do. I'll be back. ( in a good way) P.s. came back today and got another. The Bomb! read more

Not bad. I thought I would have enjoyed it a bit more but it kinda felt like I could've made that at home and gotten the same result.

Great food! Was better than I expected. The Mushroom and Onion Philly was solid. I also got the garlic fries, however I might try a different side next time. read more

I've been to a few philly places, and this one is the best in WA. Definitely get the garlic cheese fries because the minced garlic is amazing. I got the onion philly belly buster and could only finish half. read more

Great sandwiches. A little pricier than fast food($14 for sandwich and fries) but well worth it. If you like good cheesesteaks, this place is for you. Fries were above average too. read more

Ordered this on Uber eats. I was skeptical, I've yet to have anything like the real thing. The food was HOT. tasty. Closest to the real thing, IMO. the fries were still crisp, I ordered it with the cheese, which came .. on the side.. so it doesn't get soggy, the sandwich... HUGE. and tasty. I only got a half a sandwich and .. I couldn't eat it all. I would recommend and eat here again. read more

Love the belly buster with onion and peppers. Bread is so soft. Meat is perfection.

Really cool spot! Kinda hidden, you just wouldn't expect it to be there. Great customer service, clean bathrooms, and clean restaurant. The food was very delicious and the onion rings and garlic fires were of the hook!!! I liked how they have BBQ sauce, Tabasco,mustard, Tapatío etc, of condiments. The best part was, I wasn't sitting on a toilet for an hour after it was all said and done. read more

First time order, but won't be the last. Philly cheesesteak with white cheese sauce and no extras was absolutely delicious. Got the belly buster and couldn't finish it. Meat was so tender and seasoned perfectly. Bread was soft and delicious. Got a large fries, and they were crisp on the outside and creamy and delicious on the inside, just the way I like them. A large fries and belly buster could easily be shared. Menu has a lot of choices for extras and cheese sauces. Great place for delicious food. read more

Best cheesesteak place in Everett by far ! Super consistent and very friendly staff (: Their fries and mozzarella sticks are TO DIE FOR! They are a little pricey which is the only downside but super filling and big portions so it's totally worth it ! read more

Just ate two Philly sandwiches back to back. Forgot to take a picture because it looks so good and I was hungry.
