Small, rustic and comforting food. The 2 ladies were nice and welcoming. I enjoyed my Philly but it needs like a sauce whether that's salsa or bbq lol Fries were the best part honestly, my gramps enjoyed it the most as I did. We will be coming back though read more

I come for the EGGPLANT SANDWICH !!! (Yes that means no meat) & it was So freaking Good I could not believe an eggplant sandwich could be made like that! My friend had a chicken or steak sub & mine was absolutely better than hers -- she agreed! Patio seating is always a big Plus for me, fresh air while I eat read more

Saw a lower rating in yelp and was hesitant, but glad I stopped by. Proper sandwhich shop. Great ingredients, delicious fries, so tasty. As an east coaster, I highly recommend! read more

I think I've reviewed this before, but I'll do it again. I get the Phillies about once a month on average. It has been the same for as long as I can remember it being there, 15 years at least. The sandwiches are way better than the cheesesteaks at Pat's in Philadelphia. The service is quick and the food is good. Cheesesteak, chips, and a drink for around 20 bucks. Not bad these days. The place is crowded, but if the weather is nice, there tables out back. More than worth it. read more

I know Philly's is a Visalia staple, but I just can't get what the hype is with this place. I've tried their brick and mortar and today I tried the food truck. Food trucks that don't display any prices always trip me up. I know, without a doubt, I'm going to be taken advantage of. That's exactly what happened here. The wife wanted a Philly Cheesesteak and I wasn't going to say no. I go to order and I get told the total is $28. I ask if these are big sandwiches and the guy helping has the cook hold up a bun to show me the size. The look on my face had to be extremely unimpressed, because he quickly told me they stuff these full. No turning back now. When my name got called and I grabbed the to-go bag, I knew I messed up. It felt like the bag was full of napkins. I know the cost of things have gone up, but if I pay you nearly $30 for two sandwiches, it better feel like I have two "stuffed" sandwiches waiting for me in the bag. Instead of stuffed, I had slightly full sandwiches. I was hoping what was lacking in portion size would be made up for in quality. I was let down a second time. Since the sandwich wasn't stuffed and the filling was slightly dry, I got a DAS (Dry Ass Sandwich). That's not mentioning the fact that my Philly Cheesesteak seemed more like a Philly Steak with a sprinkling of cheese. Overall the whole experience was disappointing and I won't be visiting the shop or truck again. I'd rather eat the Philly Cheesesteak we have at home. read more

Phillys - Philly Cheesesteak and a Mushroom Philly Cheesesteak - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Visalia, California

I really hate to do this because the service was great and the ladies were very nice but I probably won't be coming here again. I was baited by their Instagram videos. Ordered the mushroom Philly cheesesteak. I double checked and asked if cheese wiz comes with it and she said they were out. No big deal. Got the fries for the side. It came out to 21.60. Forgot to order a soda, so ordered that and that was 3.80(btw refills are not free) so basically paid 25$ for this meal. Got the food, bun was toasted very nice, warm, then I took a bite and, nothing! No flavor. It's just texture of a cheesesteak with absolutely no flavor. Fries were fine tho but man, that cheesesteak I will remember for the rest of my life as being the most bland, water flavored cheesesteak I've ever had. That just my experience though. Maybe I picked a bad day or they just forgot to season the meat. read more

Phillys - Mushroom cheesesteak with a hint of cheese - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Visalia, California

-Food/Price:: The food was great. Really awesome sandwich. Top quality and flavor. Although the person taking my order seemed surprised when I asked for ketchup lol. Gotta have lots of ketchup on my cheesesteak! Try it if you haven't... The fries were a highlight. Such an interesting cut, and deliciously crisped. Decent serving size as well. -Service/Ambiance:: Service was just ok. Fast paced environment makes that excuseable to me. Very tight quarters in the whole place make it quite uninviting. Grab your food and go kind of place. Didn't ruin the meal for me. I wish the price was posted more clearly for the menu items. It was totally unclear to me. I would eat here again. read more

Would love to try it, but the last 3 times they were randomly closed. Just left, 5:00pm on a Friday....yelp says open, neon light says open. That was my last try, tired of driving there to always find them closed read more

Thing just haven't been the same for a long time. The bread has gone through a couple changes I believe and not nearly as soft and tasty as it used to be when they bought the place from Bryan, even the first change worked. I'm not sure if they even use balsamic on the mushroom cheesesteak anymore but that's been something that's seemed gone for a while. The flavor, and everything has been lost. They should have throwback nights for the cheesesteaks made 10+ years ago, cause those things made you want to eat philly's everyday, and I honestly can't say I will return at this point, I've hung on too long. read more

Was craving for a philly cheesesteak since I have not had one in years. Had the bbq cheesesteak and it was delicious. My only slight complaint is that it was lacking some more cheese. But I would definitely come back here again. read more

Not a big fan of the menu not including prices. Got the mushroom Philly & was definitely not impressed. Needs a lot more seasoning. Also for 13.99 I would expect a bigger sandwich. Would recommend saving your money & going a different route. read more

when my mom and I worked at a dental office up the road we would stop here for lunch once a week. it's still in the usual rotation even now that my mom is retired. best sandwiches I've ever had! everyone should check it out! read more

I made the mistake of ordering these sandwiches way in advance because I thought it would take a while during lunchtime. To my surprise, the sandwiches were ready in about 15 minutes! Needless to say, they still tasted pretty good upon my arrival. They have some off the menu items that are not listed on the app. I personally ordered via Yelp and didn't see fries on the menu. When I went in, the guy at the register told me some things are kept off the menu due to availability. It must've been my lucky day because I got to take home some of the best fries ever! Their thickness was comparable to a wedge but the shape was spiraled. Odd to explain but it was delicious! Not too salty either which I prefer (both the sandwich and fries). The pricing was a bit off though, their menu had the sandwiches listed as $9 but I was charged about $11-12 for each. Also, after paying for my fries, I noticed an additional $1 was charged on my card. I should have originally asked for a receipt. I would recommend trying to place an order in person or via telephone if possible. Parking is a bit tricky, but there is a lot on the corner. Seating is very limited. read more

Tried the mushroom cheesesteak. The bread was perfect and the sandwich was good too. We got the potato wedges and they were insane! So crispy and delicious! read more

This place was recommended by a friend. Try the salad they said, so I did. I had the Greek Salad w/ marinated chicken. When I got my salad I was sad to see it in a To-go container when I decided to dine in. The place is small w/ 3 tables but there is plenty of outdoor seating. My salad was tasty w/ the Balsamic Vinegrette but A little skimpy on the cucumbers and olives and there was no feta cheese. I kinda feel ripped off for $17. Would I come back, well I'm in no hurry unless they plan on serving what they advertise on the menu read more

Would've gave this place a 10 but my sandwich was a little thin on the meat so it's an 8 for me. Brang home a burger for my wife & she said the burger was an 8. But I will return to Phillys for some more future orders. Thanks guys & gals read more

We came here for lunch and split an original cheesesteak with sidewinder fries. The meat was tender and the vegetables were nicely cooked. The roll is soft and an ok chew. The fries were just frozen sidewinders wish they had fresh cut fires. The food and service was good but the cheesesteak was not that big. Also, the price was a little bit pricey for the size. But overall, the cheesesteak is the best in this area. read more

The prices are way too expensive. A burger was $13 alone $5 for fries and $3 for a medium soda. If you wanted a refill it is $0.50 for a medium and for a large $0.75. I see why it was empty. The prices were not shown anywhere. I had to ask what all the prices were after I saw my price go up to $42. I have tried their mushroom sub before at a church and decided I will get it again until I saw the prices of everything. I went across the street and honestly paid $21 for a kids meal and my burger which I'm fine with plus free refills. If prices were a fair price I think more customers would come in. Also you guys need meals instead of charging separate for everything. Better specials! Mention prices, let us see the prices! The lady who spoke Spanish had to remind the cashier to advice of the special and she was like oh we have a special with chips. I understand Spanish so I understood what the lady said. I liked my sub the first time but I'm disappointed. Good luck! read more

You're not from the Visalia area if you haven't heard of or been to Philly's! I have never had a bad sandwich from here.

Thank you guys for a one of a kind food in Visalia! read more

Hardly any cheese, and the meat had thick fatty parts that were tough. The bread was nice. For $14, one would expect a little more substance in the bread. A puny cheesesteak at best. read more

I've been here three times in a day and a half. I started and finished in this order; bacon cheese burger with chips 8/10 Cheese burger with beans 7 1/2 out of 10 Philly cheese steak with beans 7/10 Chicken sandwich with beans8/10 Chicken cheese steak with fries. (yes that's what they call it) 8/10 Mushroom burger with fries 8/10 Yes all these In a day and a half. I really want to give this place five stars, but due to price and size of the establishment, and they only serve fries Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings... It's only a four star. (Four is pretty dam good in my opinion) Trust me when I say this! If you're near Visalia and want a quality, tasty, not to filling, and VERY addictive sandwich, THIS IS THE PLACE! read more

Going full blinders on this one. Was out in Visalia for work with a friend and he recommended we eat here for lunch. Usually I'd look up a place here on Yelp before agreeing, but had a good feeling so I took a chance and just went with the flow. Also, I'm not even gonna read what others have to say before writing up my own review. Wow. I was blown away the moment I took my first bite. I try to avoid places like Charley's or other sandwhich shops that sell philly cheesesteaks because I'm always let down. But this establishment completely surprised me. Definitely another hidden gem in Visalia that deserves more publicity. And it's definitely hidden. Heads up, it's a small restaurant so I can see it getting crowded in there during peak hours. So plan accordingly, not just for seating, but parking can be a challenge too. The food here is top notch. The caramelized parts of the philly cheesesteak is insanely yummy. Also chatted with the owner and said a food truck is coming, so stay tuned people of Visalia! read more

Chili beans not chili beans, just beans w/onions. Philly cheese, hardly any cheese, more onion. Pricing on menu NONE.. why? And it's freezing cold for Dine-In.. Last and most important over priced .. 13.49 for a chicken sandwich.. more than steak! Will not go back and don't recommend! read more

Sandwich was skimp and oily. Beans were oily, too. Potato salad had way too much mustard for my liking. This place has been around for years, and I used to frequent this place. Not as good as it used to be. I likely will not return. read more

Went here for lunch after my site visits. Sandwich: 5/5 Asked for the special and wanted the mushroom sandwich instead. The older lady behind the counter allowed it and food came out 5-10 minutes later. It tasted good. One complaint: is that when getting my soda- i got ice and my ice had something on it. It was black and looked like grass or something. I just tossed the ice and got new ones. read more

The Philly sandwiches are great. But need more meat for the price. The mushroom n regular phillys are my two favorite so far

A hole in the wall gem !! My daughter and I have been going to this place now & then for years. If anything, the food has actually gotten better, which isn't to say it wasn't good before. The fries they serve are very unique & very crispy & well seasoned. My daughter had the mushroom Philly which was absolutely loaded with fillings in a very fresh roll which was difficult to eat only because of it's shear size. Other than a little less cheese than expected, she enjoyed every bite. Very well seasoned with great taste, I had the chicken Philly which, like my daughters, was totally loaded with fillings. I particularly like the bite sized chicken pieces which makes it a bit easier to eat since there is so much there. Again the only complaint was perhaps a little less cheese than I expected. My sandwich was also well seasoned with an abundance of peppers & onions which I really enjoy, The staff were very friendly & accommodating & I particularly enjoy the outdoor seating. Keep up the good work Philly's !!! read more

Still the same old small place but always busy. Had their mushroom burger just for the mere fact that I saw it on their Instagram page. Well it came out looking just like the picture. Tasted amazing!!! Mushrooms were very marinated and the jack cheese was oozing. Plus they don't use ice beg lettuce but instead use Romaine lettuce. It was fresh and crisp big plus!! The service was exceptional. I really had no complaints whatsoever. I'll definitely be back! read more

I was searching for a sandwich shop here on Yelp and I noticed Philly's. I've remembered this small yellow building on main st. from many years ago. I ordered the Mushroom Cheesesteak sandwich at lemme tell you it didn't disappoint. It was so good and simply delicious with its steak, onion, peppers and cheese mix on a toasted amoroso roll. I definitely recommend Philly's to everyone. read more
