I would eat here everyday if I could! 5 Stars all day! I really don't have much to say besides that BBQ sauce is FIREEEE.

Before my work trip to Montreal, I had five Groupons to use before July 18. The expiration date was the day that I was driving back from Montreal. I went on a Groupon frenzy. Philthy Philly's was one of them. This eatery is in Clarkson, just south of the GO station. Clarkson is growing on me as a neighbourhood. It is roughly twenty minutes away from my workplace, so it's quite a distance from my home. I drove over here after work on evening. I pulled into this plaza, which has a bunch of stores that I want to check out when I'm back. I parked and walked in. There is plenty of parking. There was one person placing an order. It was enough time for me to review the menu and figure out what I wanted to get. Philthy Philly's has recently introduced Broad Street burgers to its menu. I love a good burger, but I was craving a cheesesteak more. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Grow-Op burger, which is a veggie burger. The person helping me with my Groupon was helpful and cool. The redemption was straightforward. I ordered a regular cheesesteak. I got steak, with green peppers, onions, mushrooms, swiss cheese, and apple butter mesquite sauce. I also got a Phil-sized bacon poutine and a Diet Coke. I got my Diet Coke and waited for my order at a table. It gave me time to observe the artwork around me. My order was ready. I picked it up and thanked the guy. I was ready to chow down. I was hungry! The bacon poutine is the best at this Philthy Phil's. The bacon was crisp. The gravy was perfect, melting all the cheese curds into the perfect cheese pull with every fork helping. One word: fantastic! My cheesesteak was so good. It was my first time trying the apple butter mesquite sauce. It has so many complex layers of flavour. I loved that it was almost different with each bite. Yum! This place has a single women's washroom, which was spacious and clean. I saw two guys go into the men's, so I can't comment on that and don't want to speculate! I thanked the staff here when I left. It's my favourite Philthy Phil's so far in my cheesesteak journey within and around the GTA. (304) read more

First time trying poutine so I'm not sure what it should taste like. Also I did not get the "classic" either. We tried the Italian sausage and bacon cheesesteak. Both we super tasty. The fries were fresh and the cheese curds had a nice chew to it. The store overall was clean granted we arrived an hour or so after they opened. read more

I haven't been here for a while....It used to be my ultimate sandwich treat! But maybe no longer....Things at this chain have really changed. And not for the better. The cheese steak meat was BARELY lukewarm. It had ZERO seasoning sprinkled on it during the cooking. At least I assume this, since I couldn't taste any seasoning on the steak AT ALL! (I tasted the meat on its own before eating the sandwich, so I'd know whether additional seasoning was required) The meat itself had no real flavor, it was quite watery-tasting. As if the meat was partly frozen when it was cooked. On top of that, because I used a groupon, they reduced the amount of meat in the sandwich. Given the cost of their sandwiches, this was very disappointing. Guess I'll have to find a new sandwich place..... :-( read more

Food (4.5/5) absolutely delicious! Freshly made Healing piles of meat and toppings and sauce the staff are also super helpful in letting you sample sauce flavours before committing! the bread did get soggy, but that's to be expected with that much meat on top! The bread started off nicely toasted Price (5/5) they have offers on groupon where you get $20 worth of food for $12 Service (5/5) the server was super nice and helpful. Very friendly! Ambiance (5/5) very clean and utensils/extra sauce etc. Are available at the back! read more

$8.99 for a min sandwich, please. Steak was tasteless. Suggested cheese was provolone again flavourless. Asked for garlic sauce, could tell it was even on the sandwich. Never again save your money or go to Firehouse. read more

I purchased a groupon for this place $12 for $20 worth to spend on food, which was a good deal. Philthy Philly's has a large selection of items on their menu ranging from various meat filling poutines or cheesesteaks. Upon arriving it took my wife and I a few minutes to decide as there are a lot of good choices, we ended up getting Philthy size The Big "EZ" and a regular size Notorious P.I.G! poutine. I must say the portions are huge, the poutine was stuff with a lot of meat and decent amount of gravy. Normally if I was by myself I would only get 1 item as I wouldn't be able to finish both a footlong cheesesteak and a regular poutine with all the toppings included. The staff was really friendly and provided recommendations/answered any questions we had. There are lots of seating available for people to dine in and there are two tvs. Overall, it was a positive experience and would recommend others to try this place out if you haven't done so already. read more

Confession: I came here with a Groupon, $12 for $20 worth of food, so it was a good deal. Otherwise, I don't think I would've come here at all because it's out of the way for me, just south of Clarkson GO station. You hafta choose the kind of cheese, toppings, whether or not you want additional sauce, so it can be overwhelming if you don't like to make decisions. Here's my breakdown... Classic Cheesesteak - 3.5-4 / 5 - Even for the standard Classic Cheesesteak, there's a selection of cheese, toppings, & sauce. Staff was very patient and even offered a sample of the sauces that were available. Bread was soft. Cheesesteak wasn't too wet on its own, but it was messy to eat and probably best enjoyed when dining in. The additional sauce was good. We ordered the "Philthy" size which was 12" long. Shareable among 3ppl. Classic Poutine - 3/5 - This was a bit of a disappointment. Fries did seem fresh cut, but they weren't crispy. Gravy was good, but there was too much. Cheese appeared to be curds, but weren't squeaky and was already melting. Poutine wasn't layered, just seemed like gravy/cheese was dumped on top. Chip trucks are better than this. Again "Philthy" size was large enough for 3-4ppl to share! Service - 5/5 - Female at the cash register was very patient, friendly, and helpful. She provided samples of sauce and did place all the hot peppers, jalapenos, & pickles on the side as per request. Atmosphere - 3.5-4 / 5 - There are 2 tvs, 1 on CP24 and another playing some HGTV show. Interior is reminiscent of a Subway and is clean. However, what I noticed was that it was COLD inside. It didn't seem like any heat was on. Overall, it was a positive experience, but not sure if I'd have a strong enough craving to drive that far out for. Maybe if they improved their poutine? read more

More on the 3.5 side Ordered just a poutine. Didnt find it special or better than any other poutine ive had. Way too much gravy which made the fries soggy . The gravy did hve a good flavour though. The cheese was melted so i wasnt sure if it was curds or grated. Not sure that ill be back. Wasnt wowed at all. read more

This place used to be good. What happened?? Both my husband and I just picked up two Philly one chicken on steak and I can tell you just by looking at it the bread was frozen and this entire meal was heated in the microwave. Everything tasted and felt chewy and was simply horrible. Truly disappointing read more

I use to go to Charlie's in square one for my philly cheese steak sandwiches. No more! I find this premise gives you a better sandwich, which is stuffed with steak, cheese and your choice of toppings. I will only go here when I am craving a philly cheese steak sandwich. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Food was overpriced! Customer service was also terrible. We complained about the food quality and the staff just laughed. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Stop #2 at the Canadian National Exhibition was Philthy Philly's. Outside of the food reviews that I write, my diet is strictly healthy, whole food, calorically tracked goodness. That's one of the reasons why I approached Philthy Philly's with somewhat of a mischievous delight. I ordered the Philly Steaklair, which as the name suggests is part Philly cheesesteak, part éclair. Right now you may be thinking that this concoction is a crime against food, and I wouldn't blame you. That being said, I'm ashamed to admit how much I loved this thing! Don't get me wrong; this was far cry from a culinary masterpiece, but the combination of these individual titans of snacking and savoury taste came together to wow my heavily skeptical taste buds from bite number one. The assault of sweetness from the éclair and oodles of whipped cream met with the steak and bacon like it was no big deal. And did I say "oodles" of whipped cream? Damn right I did! Check your health at the door and sin a little bit, (a lot bit), with this sandwich. This thing was too good. Eat it once in your life, then never again. read more

Went for lunch. Both orders were Philly cheesesteaks and a poutine. At first I thought $30 was pricey for 2 cheesesteaks, poutine and a fountain drink. However, the portions were large, they do not skimp on the amount of meat. Plus free refills on the drink. We liked that everything was cooked fresh. They have a huge selection of cheesesteaks, pulled pork and poutine. We will definitely be back to try some other menu items. read more

Philthy Philly's - Classic philly cheesesteaks and a poutine, picture doesn't justify the size of the large cheesesteak - American Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I gave my dad a groupon to this restaurant for his anniversary in February with an expiration of end of June. Due to coronavirus my parents stayed away from all restaurants until just recently when they went to PP to use their groupon. As opposed to honouring the full amount of the groupon, the person behind the counter only gave my parents the value I paid for it because it was a few days expired- not AT ALL showing them some grace or extending the coupon for the months that many ppl stayed at home because of COVID-19. Shame on you Philthys- you have lost our entire family's business- you should be grateful for even getting business at all when so many restaurants are struggling. You should have honoured that groupon. Never again!! read more

Went in with an entertainments book coupon, no issues, food was great, poutine is super huge, could feed four for sure, Twitter sandwiches cost me eight bucks, total!, super yummy, would go back and back and......you got a Custee for life! read more

Came with a Groupon $20 worth of food for $12. Was a good deal!! Had to order an original Philly's Cheesesteak and I side of Rings! It was good. But could be a little pricey if I am to order it on a regular price. Unlimited toppings, and you can ask for different sauce on the side to try. Would I come back? Sure. But not without a Groupon, though. read more

This is a HARD REVIEW for me to do .... Why you ask !?!?! Well I lived in Philly for 4 years during college Where the cheese steak is king ! And so my opinion is gonna be either liked or hated Anyways here we go ... Upon entry the guy at the front was very friendly Great customer service ! They have tons of different cheesesteaks which I didn't like cause an Original authentic Philly cheesesteak is simple steak , cheese whiz and onions ! Yes whiz ! Not provolone ! Not Swiss not cheddar No other toppings ! No other sauces ! It's a simple sandwich Based on the original creator who back In the day was poor and had no other food in the fridge other then steak ...onions ..cheese whiz and a bun.. So anyways no need for a history lesson I asked the guy to make me an original Cheesesteak with whiz n onions or as they call it back in Philly Whiz Wit! He made it for me as they do an original so here's my opinion Not bad the steak was alright pretty decent actually The sautéed onions were good The whiz was very very watery which he told me it was very watery ! but it did the job ! So you see my option is a lil different But also please don't put different sauces and toppings on your cheesesteak it's sort of a sin I know they offer tons of toppings and tons of sauces but it takes away from the taste . But to each there own ! This places offers toppings and sauces so if you want to do that then do it . The places is clean and friendly and with a try . Since I can't go back to philly all the time I'll definitely come back again to give them another shot ! Good job to the staff here on making it a pleasant experience read more

That was one damn good Philly Cheesesteak! I will definitely be back to get my hands on some philthy poutine that I've heard so much about. The price is a little high for a fast food joint but worth it. If it was cheaper I'd be more tempted to try the different options they have. read more

I came across Philthy Philly's on groupon which has an awesome $12 for $20 value discount. Upon entering the restaurant, I took one look at their intense menu selection and had a difficult time deciding what to get as it all looked so delicious! The server I think was the owner as he was extremely pleasant and explained how everything works as well as being very much appreciated of my business considering I was using a groupon. I ended up spending an extra $15 on top of the $20 as we were very hungry. The portions are huge, we ended up getting the original Philthy size (largest) regular philly cheesesteak, the BIG EZ Phil size and a regular Philthy size poutine. The food was delicious, but VERY VERY sloppy. There really is no delicate way to eat a cheesesteak LOL. There is quite a few tables to eat in as well as the option for takeout. I'm definitely a fan and will be back! 4.5/5 read more

$17 for a regular size philly sandwich, an onion ring and drink? WAYYY Too expensive for lunch... WAYYY Too expensive for takeout. Specially when there is SUPER cheap alternatives available next door? Turtle Jack next door, a sit-in restaurant offers cheaper lunch specials. Sorry, not going back! read more

We ordered 2 small philly cheese steaks, and a chilli heart burn poutine It was just ok. The fries are homemade with is good. But they general gravy/sauce is mediocre. The philly cheese steaks need a more crusty bun the soft bun gets super soggy after a few mins. They were more like ground beef then steak. I probably wouldn't make the trip again. read more

I went to school in Philly, and this place so far is the closest to a true Philly cheesesteak I've tried in Toronto. Ordering the larger Philthy version of the sandwich is highly recommended. There was so much meat that it can't be lifted off the tray without it spilling everywhere. While messy and inconvenient, it does make for incredible value for money and is how they make the cheesesteaks at the best places in Philly(aka Max's). The fries were not memorable, but I will be coming back for the cheesesteaks. read more

Saw this place on groupon and figured it was a great way to try this place. Went there on a Tuesday and they had "choose day" specials but you can't order any of the specials when you use the groupon. Ordered Philly cheesesteak, pulled pork sandwich and a poutine. Everything tasted yummy! They had so much variety for the cheesesteak sandwiches and the poutine that I will definitely go back to try the other variety. read more

I got a simple Philly steak and it was really good. They have a wide variety of thing to put on it at NO EXTRA charge; from vegetables to sauces to fresh veggies and grilled things (also some that do have some charge but that's depending on your taste). And even more options to come back for a second visit. They also offer poutine, hamburgers and side-orders to go with the Phillies. While I was waiting for my food to go I saw the humongous sizes of poutine they sure will fill you up; I got the regular size and surely was more than enough. The prizes were a little more than what I would usually spend of a meal but really they stuff it with so much meat I know where that money is going to. When you enter there's just so much to take it better ask for some help to order something that suits you. read more

This place is incredible for Philly cheesesteak. Loads of meat and lots of options for sauces. Delicious and flavourful. Would not go anywhere else. read more

Delicious original and "Italian stallion" with all the veggies and tasty cheese options. Poutine was pretty good too but the onion rings were even better. Service has been super the few times we went and the place is clean! Looking forward to trying more menu items. So glad this place is in the neighb! read more

We just went for dinner. Had the philly cheesesteak with the ancho chipotle sauce. Was really good. They have loads of sauces to choose from. Their poutine was great! Kids loved the regular cheesesteak and poutine. The guy behind the counter helped us figure out the menu and was super helpful. read more

The service was great. The place was very clean. But wasn't too fond of the Philly steaks, the spices seem off and the texture is kind of weird because it was sort of like ground beef. read more

This is the best steakhouse I have ever been to. The steak is so fresh and the bread is amazing with the sauces. This is definitely a go to restaurant for all steak lovers. This is even better when you order with skip the dishes. read more

It was good.. the meat was a little bland, And the sandwich wasn't that filling, but otherwise you could do worse.

My first visit to this franchise. There are 2 people in front of me waiting for their orders. The first guy complains that the cook mixed raw meat into his order because the cook picked up his cooked order after mixing a raw order with the same utensils that was just put on the grill. The cook was pretty rude about it and from watching how he was doing things I'd say it was very possible. The cook denied getting raw meat into the guys sandwich after the guy pointed out the raw meat. In the service industry I think the right thing to do would have been to apologize and make the guy a new sandwich. When the cook made my sandwich he made sure he stood in a way that I could not see what he was doing which was not necessary because mine was the only one on the grill. If he wasn't focusing on blocking my view maybe he would have got my order right. I've had real Philly Cheesesteak's in Philly before and I will honestly say this was not even close, if I could give negative stars here I would. read more
