I'd love to start off by saying the service was great! The man who was working by himself was very friendly. I ordered the Philly steak & fries with a chicken eggroll on the side. The Philly steak was a little dry and needed a little more flavor. I still enjoyed it. I'm trying to leave my bias out because I am personally a fan of tidewater Philly steak in Norfolk. I would for sure try it again, though. Maybe it was just an off morning. Now the eggroll? Absolutely delicious! It was sooo hot, but I still managed to eat it all haha. I say if you're in the area, please give them a try. The staff is really friendly. Only recommendation I'd have is maybe time management. It took about 30 minutes for me to get my food. I didn't have plans, but I was originally told 15 minutes or so. read more

Customer service at the register was good but I ordered a large cheese with provolone b/c American cheese makes me sick to my stomach....and I get home and my sandwich has white American on it so I totally wasted $17 b/c I couldn't eat it. It was rang up the correct way the cook just ignored the receipt smh! read more

I was there at 6 pm today (a Friday), and they weren't open. Wondering if they are still in business. I wanted to try their water ice!

I got takeout from The Philly Cheesesteak Cafe. Theres street parking out front. While waiting someone hit my daughters car. So make sure you leave enough space, because some people can't parallel park!! You can order online, by phone, or in person. Our order only took about 15 mins. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. My kids got cheesesteak subs and i got fish with hot honey sauce and fries. I enjoyed my fish, but beware there are bones. The sauce was really tasty. Their housemade spicy sauce was pretty good also. They sell it by the bottle if you wanna take some home. My kids enjoyed their subs, but i thought it was slightly salty. It was still good though. The prices are reasonable and the portion of fish i got was plentiful. They're a decent place to eat at. Check them out!!! read more

So this is apparently not new for me and I keep forgetting... walked in placed my order waited in my car for 15 minutes which is not bad in my mind to get it home and my order was wrong. With that being said what I got was good but I had a taste for what I ordered. So to sum up food is good just don't expect excellent service read more

In the beginning, their food was good, but now after being open for so many years, the food tastes burnt all the time dry very little meat. Don't believe the hype. read more

Went here b/c I'm quite a philly cheesesteak junkie. So much so that if you check out my reviews you'll see that as a common theme. There's a local to HR Cheesesteak place that is absolutely to die for. However, I can only cross the toll and pay to park so many times before I at least look to other feasible options. Went here and it's definitely a small family restaurant that I love. I have an affinity to favor supporting small, local businesses. When we went in, the engagement by staff wasn't really there. I was a little confused by the menu options and when I asked questions, the lady didn't have any answers. I tried to keep a positive note about everything but it just wasn't happening. After receiving our food, I wasn't too thrilled with what we received. Was it good? Meh.. it was ish good. The fries? Not crazy amazing. Idk, I was really hoping to find an alternative to some of the other places that are super far but it just didn't happen. Will we be back? Maybe... but I'd probably lean more on the no side as there are many options within our area. Food Taste: 3 Overall Service: 3 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 3 Repeat customer: maybe Dog Friendly: no read more

The egg rolls are always on point. The sandwich is really good and meaty with a nice roll. If I could change one thing it was a little heavy on the salt for me. Overall always a great meal read more

First experience, great! The food was amazing and the staff were friendly. Ordered a whole salmon philly with green peppers, onions and their house mayo. (Pictured) The philly was so much, I called my sister to come get the other half. Now to why I rated 2 stars, which is giving grace... On Saturday, November 5th, 2022, I attempted to call an order in as I was picking up my Kroger order. The gentleman that answered the phone put me on hold for about 2 1/2 minutes. Not a big deal, I'll wait for good food. He came back to the phone and I proceeded to tell him my order. As I'm talking, the Kroger employee walks up to ask where I wanted my groceries. I tell the gentleman "One second" turn my head towards my half rolled down window. Say "trunk" then hear the Philly Cafe employee hang up on me. I proceed to call back, extending grace, the same gentleman answers the phone and I say "dang you can have me on hold for over 2 minutes but I say hold on one second (and it literally was one second) and you hang up on me, dang? He stated that he's a very busy man and he has a lot of customers. I say "okay but customer service" then he proceeds to tell me that he's the boss and he runs things then hangs up, AGAIN! So of course, I carried my busy and money elsewhere. Yes, their salmon Philly was bussin and I'm sure their other Phillies are just as good but I'll NEVER patronize this establishment ever again! Not even the other location in Hampton. Their "boss" has put a sour taste in my mouth and I refuse to spend my money at an establishment that doesn't exemplify courtesy or good customer service. read more

A must try! I came here a long while back when they used to be in another location and I'm so happy I finally found them again & closer to my home. First impression MATTERS. My first time visiting I was immediately greeted by the owner who was extremely friendly and was able to hold great convo with. Let's be honest though... I came for the food!! No disappoint there either. The cheeesteak is well-seasoned, full of meat, and the bread holds up well with any toppings you add. Also, get this. I ordered at 8:05 online. My email said it would take 30 minutes. I arrive at the restaurant at about 8:20 and voila here's the owner bringing our freshly made subs out to the front. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes.. literally. There's really nothing negative to say about the place. read more

Their cheesesteaks are amazing. Also had their chicken one was really good and got to give it up to the eggrolls.

Great service and good food! Only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is cause they can take unusually long for the food and seem to run out of supplies at times. For example: no rolls for the steak rolls. read more

Fries 2/5 Cheese steak 5/5 Good cheese steak with good flavor. A bit pricy (but that isn't). Kind staff. Fairly fast take out. read more

It is hard finding a good salmon cheesesteak and once upon a time this was my go to. This salmon was stretched thinnn and lacked flavor. The bun wasn't even toasted smh just straight out of the bag to the styrofoam. I decided to give them another chance and this time there was more salmon and salty! I couldn't even enjoy it and my family spent $300 on food just for none of it to be good. I'm big on supporting black businesses and knowing that their food is getting worse is upsetting. I hope they can get it back to grand opening taste but I won't be finding out so yall let me know. Oh and the chicken tastes like curry smh I really want a refund but lesson learned. read more

Go to spot for a takeout sandwich. Nothing complicated. A quick sandwich place with quality food.

Had chicken cheesesteak as they were out of steak. AMAZING taste, holy cow!! I'm mad at myself for not eating here before today. Been under my nose the whole time. I'll definitely be back!!! read more

Order is always right and hot. Never had a complaint!! Great food! The cheesesteak and fries combo is the one!

This business used to be an ok option instead of traveling all the way to Newport News to have a great cheesesteak (Seriously go look up Rick's Cheesesteaks you won't be disappointed and it is worth the drive). However, I don't know if there was a change in personnel or what happened but they have become EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional when it comes to customer service. As a business that provides a service to the public that should be at the forefront of their business motto and how they handle themselves while interacting with the public. Good food can be found anywhere, service is what brings people back time and time again to keep spending their money. Well my money can be spent elsewhere and will be. read more

The customer service here is horrible. I order my food ($46) online today, August 24th at 13:50. Once I completed my order and paid for it said that it would be ready in 30 minutes. I arrived at the restaurant just before 14:20 and was told that my order wasn't ready yet, so I patiently waited outside. After 20 minutes I noticed the cooks standing outside taking a break so I went back into the restaurant and asked if my order was ready and was told they hadn't started making it yet. So I waited another 40 minutes and finally received my order. I asked for ranch sauce for my wings and they gave me a Papa John's container of ranch. Oh, it gets better, the mayo, peppers, onions and bell peppers I requested on my Philly was not there. The other Philly only had cheese and fries on it, it was VERY DRY. So I called the restaurant and spoke with a young lady that said I could get a refund and never mentioned that I needed to return the food, which I could've done had I known. Once I arrived back to the store the gentleman behind the counter said that he was the owner and I could no longer receive a refund unless I brought the food back. Lol I don't live around the corner from this establishment, so I had no interest in going back up there. This what happens when you try to support your people. Save yourself the frustrating and DO NOT COME HERE! read more

My husband and I were given an recommendation to try the Philly cheese steak Cafe. I am so happy that I went there. Firstly, the sauce, made for cheese steak egg rolls , was out of this freaking world!!! I did not use it all on my sandwich, I used a small spoon and ate the rest of it out of the cup!!!...so, so good The bread had a really nice texture, tender meats and fresh toppings. My son, who is a big foodie, said it was great. I never hear him use those words because he is a critic when it comes to his palette. Over all, great experience. Next time, I will definitely call in my order. Thanks as this is my new spot. read more

Very cheesy which is good but I'm very upset . First off the sub must have been ready like an hour before it was prepared because I came 20 min before the pickup tome and it was already ready on the counter just waiting. This isn't my first time getting sub so I was confused on the lack of of other condiments that are usually on the sub like lettuce and mayo because the sub is so rich with the cheese whiz , it's becomes incredibly salty due to the lack of balance in flavors. I will not be back. This is my 5th time coming and I been to this location when it first started and the bread was toasted slightly and not soggy like it was this time. And I also tried it when they opened a second location on Frederick and idk what they have going on but the service is definitely declining over the past 2 years I've been coming . I will not be back read more

I was very excited to eat here due to what I heard. The food was terrible. Our Philly was soggy and had no seasoning. The roll was not toasted and the wings were horrible. No flavor at all. I drove 35 mins to try this place. I threw away all the food and was so annoyed I wasted my time. read more

Hands down the best cheesesteak in the Churchland area. This isn't my first time there, but they never disappoint. The staff and friendly and personable. The prices are reasonable. There's nothing negative to say. They do not allow dine in with covid so its best to call on your order to avoid waiting. It can be messy but if its not messy then it won't make right. read more

The Philly Cheesesteak Cafe - Vick 7 all the way - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Go there and order, don't yelp or grubhub because your order is gonna be jacked up or they won't answer the phone when grubhub tries to call them to substitute something they're out of. The food has slowly fallen off especially the amount of steak on that $15 sammich, on second thought just make your own or find a different place for a Philly. read more

Whew Chillaaay! Our food was soooo good. I'm rubbing my belly as I type this. Customer service was amazing as always and the crew makes you feel welcomed. I had a few questions and they answered them all with a smile on their faces. Next time I want to see if I can order a veggie Philly because now I'm sleepy. The ITIS has kicked in. read more

The food is outstanding customer service is excellent . The one on 5725 N. Hampton Blvd., Virginia Beach great customer service.

The chicken Philly Is my go to and the food service is great. Nice small spot with great people!

SO GOOD! Heard several radio ads for this place and was craving a good cheesesteak, but I wanted a GOOD one. Being that we live in Va Beach I hesitated to take the 30 min ride there and back but I got my husband to drive and BOY were we pleasantly happy we did! Ordered a cheesesteak, fries, and the egg rolls both chicken and beef. We started off with just the beef egg roll. Needless to say it was so good we turned around and ordered more, and took another customers recommendation to get the chicken ones - which were just as good. So good that my picky eater daughter devoured it! The cheesesteak itself is the best I've ever had, and I've had one from philly. No comparison at all. I ordered the whole which was more than plenty. Had tons of meat and you definitely get your money's worth. Got the special sauce to put on it and it made it even better. Overall, very pleased with this place. My only wish is that it was closer. Definitely worth the money and the ad was well worth the money because it got us in there! read more

Omg if you like Philly Cheesesteaks COME HERE! The food is sooo delicious. The menu is awesome ! They have cheesesteaks wings and fries and the specialty egg rolls are my favorite. It's a Philly cheese steak wrapped into an egg roll. I go at least once a week so I will upload some pics soon! The customer service is stellar . The owner is so friendly and energetic he will have you trying everything on the menu. If you have a taste for Philly this is the spot! read more

Had a family that recommended this restaurant because I normally travel to Granby St area through tunnel for Cheesesteak. So I tried them today because I was not in mood to pay more tolls. When I arrived they were quite busy but I was greeted by the cashier when I walked in. She made a few suggestions and explained their menu to me when it was my turn to go. I tried the Vick (which is a mix of steak and chicken Philly) all the way, chips, and soda. When I got the sub home I opened the box and loved the amount of fresh lettuce on the sandwich and chunks of tomatoes. The first big Philly bite I took was a good one full of meat, cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato, and peppers. The only thing I did not like was that my bread was weakened in structure by the heat, mayo, and oil/vinegar from the sandwich. I wish the bread was toasted instead. Next time I go back I will definitely ask if that's a possibility. I also did not care for the fact that adding fries/chips and a drink to a sandwich doesn't present a discounted price or combo. Everything was a la carte. read more

CheeseSteak Egg Roll and Salmon Egg Roll are amazing with side of house sauce too.. packed with flavor 10/10

Nice food for a decent price. Good flavor and courteous staff. Philly Fans would really like the decor.

This is my favorite Philly cheesesteaks place. The food is always hot and delicious. Staff is super friendly and make sure your order is ready to go for pickup with napkins included. I normally go to the cafe for pickup and ordering but this time I got delivery. It was still good. I just wish that there was a combo option to add chips and a soda or one of their freezes. Which would have been perfection. read more

This place is takeout and the cheesesteak sandwiches are good but they could be better. They don't put enough cheese on them to suit me and I always ask for extra, extra, extra. I always say I am willing to pay more to get more cheese but so far they haven't charged me and even with all that they still don't put on enough cheese. The last time I also ordered a bag of chips and the outside if the bag was super greasy. I had to use 4 napkins to wipe it off to avoid getting grease on my clothes. This place could easily be 5 stars with a couple minor changes. They seem to do a brisk take out business but there are better cheesesteak sandwiches in the 757. I won't mention where. I will continue to order from here because they are close to my home but I won't go frequently. Please put more cheese. When I open the sandwich and can't see cheese then there isn't enough. It's a CHEESEsteak after all. read more

My first experience with the Western Branch Blvd location and let me say it was absolutely awful. When I called to order 6 cheesesteaks, the young lady answering the phone asked me to hold, so I did. I heard her taking food orders and every time she finished with a taking the order, she didn't pick up the phone to take my order. Instead, I heard background noise or silence. This went on for about 45 minutes, so we decided to drive to the location staying on hold the whole way (approximately another 25 minutes). When we arrived, the phone was sitting on the counter next to the young lady who answered the phone when we called, and she was playing on her cell phone. There were 4 patrons in the restaurant who appeared to be awaiting receipt of their orders. I placed my order for the 6 cheesesteaks and paid for it via credit card. I watched the young lady continuously looking at her cell phone. Keep in mind that I'm still on hold on my cell phone. When I received my order, I asked the young lady who answered the phone/took my order to speak with the manager. The manager wasn't at the restaurant, so the cook came to speak with me. I showed the cook my cell phone which was still connected to their phone and asked him did he recognized the phone number, He did not. At this point, I had been on hold for 1 hour and 31 minutes. When I explained to him about the young lady conduct after she took my order, and that this was a bad look for the establishment, his response was (a) why did I stay on hold so long and (b) they were extremely busy (which of course wasn't true). Then a lady came to speak to me (don't know who she was) and I explained the situation to her. She gave me the same crappy excuse as the cook and also added "it's a courtesy they're providing to allow me to order food over the phone). Wow!! What poor customer service!! To make matters worse, none of the Styrofoam containers were marked with their contents, so we had to guess what was what when we were ready to eat, and the flavor of the cheesesteaks was sub-par. FYI, I "am" from Philly!! Born and raised (North Philly, West Philly and West Oak Lane)!! read more
