I've been coming to Philly's Famous for years for lunch. It's family-owned by Mark and Rita, and it truly feels like home. If you want an amazing Philly cheesesteak, this is the spot. Rita is wonderful - she always remembers exactly how I like my sandwich. Last time I ordered a 12" hoagie but got an 8" because I usually order the 8" (and their 8" is HUGE!). When she realized the mistake, she offered a refund. I declined, so she gave me an 8" to go instead. Honest, friendly people, great food, and amazing service. Highly recommend! read more

I have a love hate relationship with this place. Every single time I come here my order is wrong. This time was no different. I even had the man read back the order to me and it was surprisingly correct. So why am I looking at the wrong sandwich, still??!?!?! Please offer some type of automated menu or some type of credit system for the overflow of wrong orders I receive. I don't always have time to drive all the way back here to get it re-made. Just pay attention the first time, maybe? read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a WHILE, but I don't live in the area. I happened to be nearby last week for an appointment, and had some time to kill and decided that this was the perfect chance to check it out! I walked in and immediately noticed all the Eagles (and other philly teams) pennants and memorabilia decorating the inside. Go birds!! When I was greeted, I told them it was my first time in. The owner Rita gave me a run down of the menu, and I went with the Italian hoagie. She was so friendly and helpful. My Italian hoagie was epic. 10/10 would order again. So fresh, and chocked full of all the best toppings. While I was eating, I could hear Rita greeting all the other customers as they came in, asking many of them how their families were and what's new in their lives. She was so kind and friendly with every single person, and made a connection with each. I can't wait to make a trip back and bring my family! Next visit I will be trying the og philly cheese steak! read more

Philly's Famous - Chandler - Italian Hoagie, added hot peppers, no onions - Sandwiches Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I've been coming to Philly's Famous Cheesesteaks for over 10 years. It's a small, family-owned shop tucked into a strip mall on Alma School Road, on the northwest corner of Alma School and Ray, and it's one of those longtime local places I'm always happy to support. I normally order the Chicken Cheesesteak, which is always delicious, but today I decided to mix it up a little. I kept it simple with chicken, American cheese, and jalapeños on their delicious hoagie roll. SO good! The hoagie roll really makes the sandwich--soft, fresh, and perfect with the filling. The service is always friendly and excellent, and the food has been consistently good throughout all the years I've been coming here. If you're craving a good cheesesteak and want to support a longtime family-owned Chandler business, definitely give Philly's Famous a try! read more

I first found this hidden gem in 2014 thanks to a conversation at my local dog park. Back then, their menu wasn't online, so I snapped a photo and posted it with my first review, and I've been a loyal fan ever since. From the outside, this place might not scream "life-changing sandwich," but the moment you take your first bite, you'll know you're somewhere special. The food is outstanding, flavorful, generous, and made with love. It's the kind of food that makes East Coasters feel like they're back home and locals feel like they just discovered their new favorite spot. But it's not just the food, it's the people. The warmth and kindness of this family-run business make it stand out even more. Rita, Sarah, and Jacob always greet me with genuine smiles, and even after we moved away from Arizona in 2023 and returned two years later, they remembered my name like no time had passed. (They still tease my husband for forgetting his, all in good fun!) Megan was the first person we met when we came in all those years ago, and she instantly made us feel welcome. She's amazing. Although she is now a successful realtor and no longer working in the shop, the heart of the business she helped build is still the same. It is all about family, flavor, and fantastic service. I'll also say this. In a time when others have tried to imitate what this family built, this original spot continues to shine. Their integrity, quality, and kindness speak louder than anything else ever could. Pro tip: Preorder if you can. They get busy because they're just that good. Support real local businesses. Support real people. And most of all, treat yourself to one of the best meals you'll have in the Valley. read more

While scrolling social media I came across a little review of this place so we decided to stop my and support a family business. This place was amazing. The sandwich's were HUGE and so I am glad we decided to share. The customer service was awesome with super friendly staff who were willing to answer questions and honestly made us feel like we were family. We look forward to heading back and trying something new.. I think I will try one of the burgers next . read more

The family that runs this place is so sweet and amazing!! If you are near here, stop in!

Good ranch. The ranch at Philly's Famous in Chandler is straight up outrageous. Bringing the gritty Broad Street energy to AZ, this house-made jawn is the real MVP. It's thicker than a South Philly accent. Break some rules, dunk your cheesesteak, douse your fries and if you have to lick the wrapper. read more

This place did not disappoint! We got greeted right away and ordered a turkey hoagie and an original Philly cheesesteak with a side of fries. The hoagie was great, and the meat was very delicious. The cheesesteak was where it was at though, such great taste and the bread was so soft. The fries were yummy too. We enjoyed this spot as the service was quick and there were seating options with a decor that gave a homie feel read more

Originally planned to check out a different sub place but they were closed due to a family emergency so Yelped and found this was the closest sub shop. You can feel the small family owned vibe as soon as you walk in. They're obviously famous for their Philly cheese steaks so ordered the 12 inch at the counter. Once your order is ready they'll call your name. I thought it was pretty tasty but I could not taste their famous red sauce at all. Meat was flavored well but definitely skimpy. The ends, about a third of the sandwich, was lacking meat. They could fill it up and add more onion. There's a 3.5% surcharge for using a credit card which is kind of a pet peeve of mine. They should at least have a sign to give the customers an option. read more

One of the best bites I've had this summer is the Tuna Hoagie at Philly's Famous. Tuna Salad and cheese topped with lettuce, tomato and onion with oil, vinegar and spices. After having it on Tuesday, I thought it was the best sandwich I've ever eaten. I went back Thursday and know it's the best sandwich I've ever eaten. They also serve numerous cheesesteaks and hoagies which are great. The customer service where the family makes you feel like family is next level wonderful. I highly recommend Philly's Famous for the food and the customer service. Both are the best! read more

The ambiance reminded me of a deli in NYC. The Jerseys, pictures and signage on the walls made the place feel alive and fun! The young guy was very friendly and asked if I had a pick up order. Not exactly the greeting I expected but he was pleasant and took my order. Rita and the older gentleman... I think his name is Mark was extremely polite and welcomed me. Mark thanked me for googling and coming to his place for a Philly cheese steak. When I got home it was still hot and there was so much meat. It was very flavorful and perfectly seasoned. I would definitely recommend checking out Philly's if you're craving for some yummy sandwiches. They also have numerous other sandwiches that I wanted to try. Next time. Thank you for a great experience. read more

I really enjoyed Philly's Famous. The food was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. I got the 12" sandwich and it ended up being the perfect size. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and were more than happy to make suggestions or adjustments to make the perfect sub. If you're feeling like a great, filling sandwich and happen to be in the area, I highly recommend this place. read more

Cheesesteaks are not my first go to but it was actually pretty good! I ordered the 12 inch "philly" cheesesteak $14.59 which had American cheese, onion, and their red sauce. It was seasoned well and tasty. The restaurant has that Philly vibe. The staff was very friendly and I'd eat here again read more

I've been coming to Philly's Famous for over 10 years now. After trying several cheesesteak places, I can honestly say they make the best in the valley. The quality of their ingredients is always above and beyond. Everything is made to order and tastes fresh and delicious. The service is always the friendliest you'll find. I'm always greeted warmly like I'm part of their family. Getting a sandwich here is like a big warm hug. Pay this place a visit, you won't regret it. You'll definitely be coming back! read more

Sunday April 6th, around dinnertime. I can't believe how I haven't written a review for this place yet. I have been here numerous times! This is truly a mom and pop, one of a kind hot sandwich shop. When you walk in, you are warmly greeted and hear the clanging of the tongs on the grill. After you place your order at the counter with one of the friendly staff members your name will be called out when it's your time to pick up. Seat yourself in one of their diner-like booths or seats and get ready to sink your teeth into a tasty Philly cheese steak! We ordered the original Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, $12.49 done "hoagie style." The friendly worker advised us to omit the red sauce if we chose "hoagie style" because the spices, oils, lettuce and tomato (for an additional 75 cents) will be just right. He was right! The fresh grilled meat and toppings were just perfect on the toasted Italian soft roll. Fresh grilled onions are just the best, aren't they? No matter where I go, I request my onions to be well grilled. Their premium fries were hot and fresh! $2.99. Personally, a bit more salt would have made them outstanding but the crisp outside and tender inside were pleasing. While enjoying our meal, we noticed many regulars entering and being greeted by name. It's that kind of place with a community vibe. Honestly, this is what we could use more of. :) read more

Family operated business. They were very friendly and helpful with the menu. There is plenty of seating area inside. We ordered 2 Turkey Hoagies and 1 Original Philly Cheese Steak. Turkey sandwich had a good amount of turkey and cheese, it was good and very filling . Cheesesteak was very tasty, however; I wished the bread was more toasty. Just a preference of mine. read more

I went in because I kept seeing it pop up when I was looking for food and didn't want something boring. They have plenty of options but it's not overwhelming where you can't decide ! I ended up getting the 12inch Philly cheese with wedges. It was hugeee and absolutely delicious ! I shared it with my grandma she is very picky and anytime I pick food choices it's overwhelming because I'm never sure if she'll like it but she loved it ! Also the customer service was amazing , they made it fresh in front of me and just such a wonderful small business! read more

This place has been a go to since moving to Arizona. Staff is friendly and you can't go wrong surrounding yourself with Philadelphia sports history. The family owned spot has since become much more famous due to social media and it's worth the wait! The original Philly cheesesteak is one of the best I've had outside Philadelphia. Even just having the options of Utz chips and tastycakes is a great touch. Give them a try if you're in the area! read more
