    Probably the best Philly cheese steak I've had in FL. Have a real neat feature at the bar for your drinks. Their Old Bay's fries were amazing and they cane with nacho cheese to dip them in.

    Do NOT order pizza from here! I'll make this very simple to understand. First, when I arrived and paid, they gave me a receipt that had everything I DIDNT order. They couldn't tell me what I order until they gave me the horrible pizza. To make matters worse, the pepperoni on the pizza was OBVIOUSLY not cooked with the pizza. I've included a picture to prove this. The box would have tasted better than the actual pizza. If u don't believe this, order and enjoy!

    Just an amazing bar, very jealous we have nothing like this in tampa Bar. First of all, great sound, can hear the game from anywhere in the bar. Second, it's an Eagles bar, full, we got lucky and a family left and an excellent waitress gave us the table. When the eagles scored before halftime, the whole bar broke out singing fly eagles fly, etc. along with some dj shit over the speakers. Halftime starts and instead of the talking heads, the dj comes back on. Just an amazing atmosphere and oh yeah, great Philly cheesesteaks and an ice bar. Really wish we had something like this around us, best we have is johnnys and it's not even close.

    It had been ten years since I last visited, but I was craving a Philly cheesesteak at the beach and decided to give Philly's Finest a chance. The experience was mixed. On the positive side, it looks like an amazing spot for game days, especially if you're into Philly sports. There are lots of TVs and memorabilia on the walls. They also have an ice bar, which is a unique touch. While I'm not sure it kept my beer much colder, it was still cool nonetheless. For craft beer, they had some interesting local options on tap, though they were a few dollars more than expected. The bartender was nice but definitely gave more attention to the regulars, which I guess is fine. The real reason you go to Philly's Finest, though, is for the cheesesteak. In this respect, they fell short. I would rank it behind Eddie and Sons, Surfwiches, and D&LPs. The roll, cheese, and meat were all good but in much smaller portions than other shops. The price was crazy at nearly $20, not including fries. I might visit again in ten years, but I won't be rushing back to Philly's Finest because the value simply isn't there for the experience you get.

    I have been here several times. The food is good for bar food. Drinks are great. They have TV's throughout and is a great football venue. Staff is always friendly. I just find that they are a bit pricey on their food selections.

    Amazing place.

    I'm originally from Philly, and I've been looking for a place like THIS..... real Philly bread, real cheese, real EVERYTHING!!!! Philly style. It's a YES for me. If I'm ever in this neighborhood again from Miami I'll definitely come back!! Thanks guys. The service was great. The ambiance was PERFECT!

    Been awhile since the last time being there. Changed the menu. Took some things off and added things. Started off with a beer. Candyce was happy. They have modelo especial on tap. And I had a shock top. Had the loaded fries also to start off. They were pretty good. Sandwiches were the Phillies and they were loaded and really cheesy. Very filling. Pretty good service. Really did not want for a thing. Phiĺlies finest does a good job for service and comfort.

    I had been to Philly's Finest before probably about 5 or so years ago and us underwhelmed but back then we had ordered pick up and then drive back to our place in town center so it was at the top of their game. This time a friend asked if we wanted to go with them for the Birds game and we figured this would be the best time to try them out again. We arrived around 7:45PM and the place was pretty packed but we figured it would be since it was game day. Luckily for us we were able to get a high top. This place is loaded up with TVs so don't worry about where you are sitting you will be able to watch the game. Would for sure want to come back when it's less packed and try sitting at the ice bar. We started off with drinks. I went with a draft of Landshark since they had a special on them. I think it was $4.25 or $4.75 which isn't bad. We were hungry since we were eating later then normal so we order the Fried Pickle Chips for a appetizer. They came out pretty quickly which was good since we were starving. The pickle chip were good but were nothing to write home about. Had for sure had multiple that are better. Batter was just a little too thick for me. Being at Philly's Finest did you really even go if you didn't get a cheesecake? I'll answer it for you. You didn't! I wen with the Philly Cheesesteak which is served with onions and White American but I opted for Cheese Whiz. At this point should have have Whiz Wit on the menu. We also ordered Old Bay Fries since the Cheesesteaks do not come with a side. My cheesesteak was great. On a fresh Amoroso Roll with tender steak (no tough pieces here), perfectly cooked onion and Cheese Whiz all thought-out. For sure top 3 cheesesteak I have had in Jax. The Old Bay Fries were good but were really just crinkle cut fries with Old Bay sprinkled on top for $10. At least it does come with Cheese Whiz for sipping too. Philly's Finest is cooking up some amazing cheesesteak but it is on the pricier side. A cheesesteak is $14 and doesn't come with a side and again $10 for fried with old bay is a little more too. But if your looking for a great authentic cheesesteak this is for sure the place.

    I finally made it to Ink Factory Brewing, a ten minute walk from Jax Beach. I've been eyeing this…read moreplace for a while.  I usually spend a good amount of time in coffee shops working on my laptop, and I'll admit I almost skipped this place based on the google photos, because it looked like it might have limited seating and no power outlets. While I wouldn't call this a go-to "work from a coffee shop all day" sort of spot. After asking around I found out this place has two floors the top floor has a space for daily office rentals. I am here on a Saturday and had no problem finding a place to work from on the first floor.  I asked Katie who was walking by and was super helpful about why it is called Ink Factory Brewing. This place used to be where Void Magazine was written and published hence "Ink Factory".  I was pleasantly surprised. The space is large enough that I found a quiet corner and even managed to snag a power outlet. The staff didn't seem bothered at all by me settling in with my laptop. That said, Ink Factory feels more like a place to hang out try the coffee, grab some food, maybe have a beer rather than a dedicated work spot. The space immediately gives off a relaxed beach vibe white walls, local artwork, surfboards, and beach apparel everywhere. It feels equal parts coffee shop, hangout spot, and beach town brewery. My coffee was spot on. Emily was awesome and helped me build a custom drink: an iced coffee with a shot of espresso, mocha syrup, topped with cold foam. Not only did it taste great, but she made it look so good that people sitting at the bar asked what I ordered. This kind of care and presentation really stood out.  If they're really busy, finding an outlet could be tough. Parking is also a bit limited for such a large space, but that's pretty typical for the beach area. Not the place I'd camp out every weekday, but definitely somewhere I'd come back to.

They have a couple rooms off to the right as you walk in. In one room they sale clothing a freaking vinyl records. In the room right next that one they have more seating and a couple of games and seating area. The vibe was super fresh and super surfy. I walked in and as I was looking at the coffee bar the bartender eventually came over to tell that the coffee bar was closed. He did offer me some Cold Brew! I'll definitely BE BACK.

Since it was a Tuesday morning, it was pretty quiet in the area and we had a private class with Chris. Chris was very thorough, starting with candle and fire safety. He took his time showing my daughter the process, from pouring, mixing, balancing the smells and everything in between. He knew a lot about scents and what goes well together. The shop itself was really nice and tidy. Bonus points on the "secret" room that had some gaming stuff like pool table, mini arcade area and some board games. I say secret because the connecting door is hidden as one of the shelves. He let us take our time in the room that is actually an adjoining room to his shop that has its own entrance/exit door.

Should have been plenty of time as the restaurant was not busy on a Wednesday at 5:30 PM. (Feb 25, 2026) We sat at the bar thinking that would be the fastest service especially with three bartenders working and hardly any customers. However, it took 10 minutes for one of them to look up from all the "very important tasks" they were doing and acknowledge us. When the bartender with the backwards cap and Jaguars shirt finally took our beer order and gave us menus, we made it known we had a concert to go to. He served our beers and said "no problem." We ordered immediately when we got our beers. It was "Wing it Wednesday" so we ordered the special. Five wings and fries. Should have been no problem to get our food in a timely manner. We had 45minutes left to eat. Then we waited some more, and waited and waited. Three bartenders and not even a glance our way. Why? Because they were all too busy chatting with this gal and her "date" especially our server. We might as well have been invisible. We finally got the attention of one of the other bartenders as our server had disappeared. (We were now down to 20 minute eat.) He acted confused as to why we were calling him over. I'm guessing it wasn't his "section" . I also am guessing we were the rude ones for interrupting his conversation with the young woman and her date. He checked on our food after we said we got to eat now! He thought that meant we wanted our food to go. Not sure why. We finally got our food with 10 minutes left to wolf down our meal and pay the bill. The wings and fries were good which is the only reason I'm giving 3 stars. But it's wings and fries. Can get that anywhere. Suffice to say is we will Not be eating at Hoptinger's again. A customer should be treated like a guest and not an inconvenience that cuts into staff's social time. And never make us feel like you're doing us a favor when we patronize your place of work. That's a sure way to a bad review and a loss of a customer.
