    As a follow up to my below review. I called these guys and I spoke to I believe his name is Ethan. He's the manager onsite. He was amazing with his customer service skills he owned up to it. He really is an amazing guy. We will obviously continue ordering from here as we always do. We love to get our cheesesteaks from South Philly, and generally they're amazing. Not sure who was making this sandwich today on July 31st at 7:20p. My husband requested a cheese steak with lettuce, tomato garlic aoli jalapeños hot, red peppers, and As a follow up to my below review Swiss cheese, and there is no cheese in it. No lettuce, no tomatoes, etc. like y'all need to do better. If we're paying for something we ask for we should get what we asked for and whoever was working there tonight you need to do better

    The Cowboy Chicken Philly was spicy

    On and On, South of Philly! (twang) It's been a while since I reviewed this place and I'll say it's now a 5 star experience, at least during lunch. The staff is always friendly, the food is always made fresh, and it's quite delicious, even from someone from the opposite side of Pennsylvania. Their now $8.49 lunch special includes a 6" sandwich (including their cheesesteaks), fries (or chips), and a drink. It's a great deal in comparison to other lunch special around Avalon Park. They have other specials as well (i.e. 2 for 1 beers) and may even have some dinner specials that I'll have to check in to. But they're slinging up some delicious subs, hoagies, grinders and torpedos for the local community.

    I was a vegetarian for many years but last year I started to eat red meats, pork and chicken. I eat meats here and there, my body calls for it. I don't really like red meat though, but every once in a while I remember my years as a carnivore and I like to revisit those flavors. One such unique dish that was lingering in my mind was a Philly Cheesesteak. I have even traveled to Philly to try the original ones, and they are amazing. South Florida has an amazing Cheesesteak culture, here in Orlando, well, we got South Philly Steaks. This place is as close as the real deal as it gets. We tried different variations and they were all good, but the favorite was the Miami Heat. No lie! If you order it, tell them to go light on the jalapeños because you'll get burned. We also got wings and they were decent. All in all a good spot to order from.

    Not Briantos but delicious nevertheless
    Mark P.

    Something like a three or four. They're definitely not Briantos, I sure do miss them (they used to be in this spot years ago), but they're pretty good and well better than I'd thought they'd be. Lunch took every bit of fifteen minutes but at least everything was hot and fresh. Plenty of well seasoned, hot dropped fries. Good meat to bread ratio on the Philly. Otherwise, only small misgivings. Had trouble ordering my usual Philly configuration but that's kiosk ordering for you. I guess I could have asked for help but didn't see anyone who wasn't easily available. At least they call you when your order's up. I don't even know why they ask for a tip, sort of felt like I ordered from a vending machine.

    We drove from Maitland to try this place out. It is nestled in beautiful Avalon Park, next to the YMCA and across from a lovely lake. I ordered The Sexy with melted white cheddar! I love that they have a sauce bar to choose whatever you want on your cheesesteaks! The fries was yummy. The staff was very friendly and inviting. There's TV's with sports playing inside so there was ppl inside watching the game. I recommend this place if you have a hankering for a cheesesteak.. they have wings too!

    Philly Cheesesteak with their smoked Spicy Gouda cheese and bacon bits with Mayo and ketchup
    Amado G.

    WOW, where do I begin this place is Amazing. I decided to visit my friend and he ordered from this spot that left me stunned with great valor on my pallet. It was so good before driving back home I decided to have it again and it was even better the next day. I ordered cheeseburger bacon rolls with one of their many dipping sauces as a quick appetizer bite. This was the best roll I've ever tasted. It literally tastes like I was eating a bacon cheeseburger without having the actual burger present. Then I indulged in one of their cheesesteaks and just like the night before it was fantastically put together. I had the cheesesteak with their spicy smoked Gouda cheese which gave it that spice and smoked flavor with bacon bits and spicy Mayo with ketchup. Spice upon spice which made my first experience at this place a memorable one. I will definitely return to this place once I visit my friend again.

    Steak and chicken egg rolls!
    Nakeita W.

    These roll were wonderful! Nice hot and crispy very tasty! My first time going to this spot! I live downtown so I don't get out here much but when I come back I'll definitely be visiting these boys again! The two dudes that work there were super nice!

    Can I give this place 10 stars! Amazing food. I love the convenience of the parking when you pull up. Relaxing environment and it smells so good as soon as you walk in. You can order with a person or self order. I chose to self order because I didn't know what I wanted. Love how you can personalize your food which is amazing. The prices are very fair and great quantity of food. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak with lettuce, onions and hot peppers and then the loaded cheese fries. AMAZING! Nothing was disappointing. The staff was great and got me a cup for my drink. I will be back when I am in the area. If you haven't been check this place out!

    Philly cheesesteak lunch special
    Donna R.

    My first visit was great! Very affordable lunch special. Love the peppers variety in the philly. Cooked to order and wings were fried crispy like I like them.

    The Sexy Sandwich Combo
    Barbie C.

    I will honestly say that photos here on Yelp do not do justice to how good these sandwiches are so please don't go based on that. I almost did and would have missed out on a delicious Sunday meal with my family. We ordered their lunch special which was a 6in. steak sub with fries (substituted one order to have onion rings) and a drink and were very happy with our orders. Both sandwiches had "sexy sauce" on them, which was just melted white American cheese, but it was delicious. The onion rings were skinny, tasty and came with a zesty cream sauce and the fries were nicely seasoned and crisp. Overall the location doesn't look the most exciting and appealing, but is definitely worth the experience. Also, I love businesses that offer lunch specials even on the weekends not just M-F. So that's an added bonus!

    Avalon Park possesses a cheesesteak place that does an admirable job at bringing a taste of Philly to this neighborhood in East Orlando. First, they use Amoroso rolls, the brand of roll that is used by some of the finest cheesesteak places in Philadelphia. A great touch. They also use the right steak, shaved ribeye. I ordered a cheesesteak with extra meat, two kinds of cheese, lettuce, onions (both raw and fried), cherry peppers, and ketchup and the sandwich as always satiated my appetite. Let me also add that I did live in Philadelphia for awhile and I am quite particular about my cheesesteaks. While these would not worry the big boys of the Philadelphia cheesesteak scene, it is a quick fix here in Orlando until I can get up to the City of Brotherly Love for a tour of some of my favorite stops.

I can't speak to the food because I didn't eat anything during my visit so this review is based off of the coffee and the ambiance as well as the service. The whole coffee flight concept is an awesome idea! Especially to coffee lovers who want to try more than one thing. A really, really solid idea that more places should pick up on. This is honestly what impressed me the most. Also, they're really creative about their coffee options. I love that there is a coquito latte, and initially that was what I was going to order but then I saw an iced nutella foam latte on there and that won my vote. I'm not really sure what i was expecting. It was beautifully presented and I love that it was not sweet, it was just right. The consistency however was more like a milkshake rather than an iced coffee and after having half of it I was already over it; its very rich. It's a small place with indoor and outdoor seating. I like that they have that Morro design inside just like in Puerto Rico. Service was friendly and timely. I do plan to come back again and try one of their sandwiches.
