    philly cheesesteak

    Our favorite spot! Staff is so nice and provides a welcoming spot after hanging out with your friends at the local bars. Delicious spread of food for all to enjoy. LATE NIGHT EAT!

    Did my roll absorb all that juicy deliciousness of steak, onion, and cheese? YES The Amoroso roles didn't disappoint, and neither did the service. This was a good cheesesteak, and like others displaced from the NE, will attest that is no easy feat outside of the Philly Metro.

    Original Philly Wit & Cajun fries
    Candace M.

    Went here for a late night sandwich, we split an original Philly & it was big amount for both of us. Have we had a better Philly, yes, but you won't be disappointed with theirs. We also had the Cajun fries & they were very good!

    Fast, friendly service with ample seating for the space. Open late with hot fresh food.

    OMG, pinball love pinball was raised, playing pinball and I'll continue to play pinball love, this place cheesesteaks hoagies, and here from Philly. This is the spot for you. They even have her potato chip brand and I think the only brand they sell had to grab a couple bags to take back to the art Airbnb we were here for about 2 to 3 hours just playing good open ball so if you were raised, bring your quarters the guy, the owner he is from South Philadelphia. We didn't get the chance to try anything but like I said pinball will probably be back tonight to play more or tomorrow before we leave to play one more time before we head back home.

    Roast pork, broccoli rabe and provolone.
    Darryl A.

    I believe that the best Philly cheesesteak are the finest in the land. Until now. I quizzed the owners about where they buy the rolls. Correct answer is Amoroso rolls! And the get these rolls from Philly. Their roast pork, broccoli rabe and provolone is on point. Reminds me of D'Nics pork steak at the Reading Terminal in Philly. I asked them if the sold the soft pretzel. Response - no. Pro -- Philly is alive in Saint Augustine. You can buy the Amoroso rolls and freshly baked pretzels at the new WAWA convenience store.

    Loaded Fries

    If I could give this less than one star, I would. My husband and I went in last night (2/26) around 730 at night. The restaurant was completely empty. The only people present were the cashier, the cook, and our ourselves. We ordered one Philly cheesesteak sandwich to split and an order of loaded fries both the cashier and the cook we're standing there while we placed our order and I asked for the ranch on the side. They both confirmed and said they will put the ranch on the side the cook walked to the back and started cooking. The cashier yelled, put the ranch on the side and he yelled back "heard!" ( so just to be clear they both did confirm twice, my request for the ranch to be on the side) About 15 minutes later, the cashier walks up to us and places the food in front of us, apologizing that they forgot about the ranch (which was smothered all over the entire box of fries) and said " sorry we forgot to put your ranch on the side. Hope this is OK anyways"... Then the cook came out and blamed the girl for not putting it on the ticket, which our response to him was well we did hear you also yell heard after we requested no ranch. My main problem with this is the fact that they are acknowledging the fact that this isn't what I ordered it in our bringing it to me anyways. We paid $50 for everything that we got and we couldn't even get what we asked for, which seemed like a simple request. I'd also like to add that while we were waiting a Uber eats driver showed up to pick up an order and the cash register said they never received one and demanded proof, making it sounds like the uber eats driver was at fault... Come to find out they did receive the order 20 minutes prior to that and they were too busy goofing off to prepare the order. My overall take of this place is the staff that they hire could completely care less about the business or the customers, and you should spend your money elsewhere... Couldn't imagine eating here if it was busy.

    Roasted Pepper Garlic Cheesesteak (with cheez whiz, jalapeño, and hot pepper relish)
    Kenneth S.

    We ordered delivery through Door Dash. I had the Roasted Pepper Garlic Cheese steak with cheez whiz, jalapeño, and hot pepper relish. As a side, I added the cheese fries (because let's be honest, who can resist cheese fries?) The meal was prepared and delivered rather quickly as the food was still hot when it arrived. The food items were individually wrapped and labeled, including the cheese fries. Opened the sub and first impressions were great. It looked amazing! The bag had a side of extra cheese sauce, but saw our cheese steaks had cheese in it already which confused us. Spoiler alert, I had to use the cheese for my sub because I didn't get any cheese taste at all. With the sub being packed full of aromatic and flavorful ingredients, you'd think I'd rate this place higher. But you'd only be partly right. I opted for the roasted pepper garlic cheese steak because the description reads as "marinated in garlic". I did not taste a lot of the flavors promised - jalapeño, peppers, garlic. Nor did I get any heat from the jalapeño or hot pepper relish. The food was decent enough. But, I felt that perhaps my expectations did not match reality. Food was good but I'm not sure if I would order here again through Door Dash based on price-to-satisfaction. The in-restaurant-experience might be better.

    Funnel cake fries
    Amanda C.

    The atmosphere here is really fun. Our kids loved the game play while we waited on food. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I recommend the Philly fries and the funnel cake fries for sure. The Liberty sandwich was great too but not for my personal taste. It's base has a salsa in it and I wasn't aware. Overall this place provided a nice and cool stop for lunch. The service was super quick so we didn't waste much time on our day adventure.

One of the coolest touches? A TV disguised as a piece of art that's actually a live stream of downtown St. Augustine. Such a fun, unique detail! Now let's talk food I ordered the shrimp and grits tacos, and WOW--they were packed with flavor. The grits added this unexpected crunch that worked so well with the shrimp. The textures blended perfectly and made every bite interesting. My husband went for the Miyagi beef tacos... and let's just say there were zero leftovers. He cleaned his plate, which says everything. Great vibes, creative food, and a memorable experience all around. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

It got pretty busy while we were there, but impressively, they were running with just one server--and he absolutely held it down. Despite the crowd, he stayed attentive, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly, which really stood out. The menu is where things get especially interesting--unique, playful, and definitely not your standard fare. I tried the chicken apple pie sandwich, which was as unexpected as it sounds. It was fun, different, and surprisingly good! It is one of those dishes you won't find just anywhere. Husband loved his upscale bologna sandwich and the waffle fries were yummy! Overall, Treylor Park delivers on atmosphere and creativity. It's a great spot if you're looking for something a little outside the box with a fun, energetic vibe and memorable food.

I ordered the fish burger and it honestly surprised me in the best way it was way better than I expected. My partner went with the regular burger and loved it too. I also have to mention the banana pudding because it was AMAZING. Easily the best I've had so far, and I'm not even exaggerating. The service really stood out as well. Our waitress went above and beyond to help me figure out what the veggie burger was made of and even looked into the company that makes it since I'm picky about veggie burgers. That level of care doesn't go unnoticed. We dined outside and although noisy from the traffic, it was nice. Overall, such a great experience. They really have something for everyone. Definitely recommend checking it out and don't skip the banana pudding.

I asked the server about it and she just told me that it was a 1/2. In an effort to not make a big deal about it, my daughter jumped right in and offered to switch patties with me since she wasn't that hungry. It was immediately obvious that I had a smaller patty since the new one filled the croissant. Second: I asked to substitute the burger buns for the croissant buns they have on a different burger. I was surprised to see the bill showing a $2.50 up charge despite the burgers costing around the same amount and buns being needed anyway + no mention of any up-charge! Third: Our party included two adults + three children + a toddler + an infant. Somehow that warranted an automatic gratuity. We're normally generous tippers but it didn't feel right to have an amount pushed on us without disclosure. We would have tipped anyway despite the servers obvious fake smile and negative demeanor but this just added to the overall poor experience. Our family has no issue paying 25%, or more if service is exceptional, on $600 bills (often at steak houses more-so than regular restaurants) but I walked away feeling cheated here.
