    The Philly
    Robert K.

    Short and simple review. The Philly was a solid choice for a big sandwich. $14 dollars for it seemed a bit steep but that's the same price as most subways now. This was a great Philly cheese steak. The peppers were perfect tender and firm. I got mine with pepper jack. Walked right up to the counter. It was towards closing and the smelling of mopping was thick in the air. It was a bit off putting but the store itself was clean looking. The guy behind the counter's advice was to not get the classic cheese wizz. Will eat again

    This was my first time here. The woman who took my order was very friendly & helpful when I wanted pickles after I ordered. My Classic Philly Cheesesteak was good. I moved from Philly, so I'm incredibly familiar with cheesesteaks. You might even call me a cheesesteak snob. Again, this one was good. I loved music playing and the art displayed on the walls. I'll be back again.

    Philly Cheesesteak!

    The girl working the front register put me and my brother on to the lunch special. So worth it! As a big fan of cheesesteaks, this place did not disappoint. I will definitely be back. Keep doing what you guys are doing. The inside was cool. The outside experience is K St. so you know what that's like.

    Original Philly! Soooo good!

    My husband and I wanted to try something new so after reading the Yelp reviews, we landed here. Excellent customer service! The young man who took our order was friendly and had no problems answering our questions. We both landed in the original Philly w/provolone cheese & hot peppers instead of the sweet. We also shared a side of garlic fries. The food was great!! Piping hot, prepared to perfection with a nice amount of steak! $14 is a great price point and we both only managed to eat half of our sandwiches! We for sure recommend you checking this place out and we will definitely be back!

    I had gotten (2) original full Philly cheesesteaks from this location with provolone, peppers and onions for $18.03 dining in. It was pipping fresh/hot, and seasoned well. It was good for a Philly cheesesteak right here in Sacramento. Very filling sandwich as well. Probably my last time going back. The owner is yelling at people on the street to come in his restaurant, with what looked like a "Modelo Negra" in his hand. The owner is yelling at his cooks and server still with the beer in his hand (I was very shocked seeing this) ...all while the server is serving and taking orders! music was very loud and as the owner is trying to talk to us and make jokes we can't hear him or anyone else. He proceeds to turn it down to conversate, then turns it all the way back up. It was extremely hot in the restaurant as well. I had to hurry up and finish my food, as the music was so loud it hurt my head and it felt much cooler outside. The art is amazing though, the place is decked out with cool Sacramento decor.

    Walking past this place, you'll be drawn in by the classics and oldies music blaring from their outside speakers, instantly setting a positive atmosphere. The Philly is a fantastic lil Philly cheesesteak sandwich spot in the heart of downtown Sacramento on Kst. The two gentlemen staff were very informative and helpful when ordering, we were welcomed right away. There is a kiosk or cash register just ask for help if you need it. We notice the lunch special which incudes a large freshly made cheese steak, fries and a drink for $21 so we took advantage of this awesome deal. Food arrives fast and hot. Very tasty and satisfying, loved the sweet peppers and cheese. Fries were crispy, and fresh. And I loved that they have black cherry flavored soda! I'll be back again for lunch soon!

    Classic cheese steak with onions, peppers, mushroom, jalapeno
    Brian G.

    Sac has been lacking in the philly cheese steak game for awhile so it's a pleasure to have one here! The Philly was solid, I enjoyed the sandwich. I got the Classic cheese steak with onions, peppers, mushroom, jalapeno. Quality of beef is good. I would highly recommend getting extra cheese, I think that would have made it a 5 star sandwich if it had more cheesyness. Garlic fries were pretty good, they give a lot and there is a ton of garlic. Fries are steak cut style and are decently crispy. Friendly service. They have a TV so if you pop in during a King's game it will be on!

    The Philly fries with EVERYTHING!
    Richard C.

    This place is AMAZING! Been here twice now and had the classic Philly, and Philly fires!!! The cook Rob hooked it up both times! The portions are huge, lots of meat and toppings. We seen the chicken tenders and those are huge also! I will be coming back to try everything else on the menu. Thank you Rob for the amazing food! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes good food.

    Went for lunch and definitely will go again! People are very nice and helpful! There was a line for lunch but service was still fast. Sandwich was juicy and very delicious. I witnessed how many times those fries were tossed into the seasoning and every bite were covered perfectly! Portions are huge so I saved the half for dinner! I had a pick up so I don't have much to say for the ambience but it was a friendly neighborhood sports bar ambiance. Thanks for the mint!

    The good: food was great! Not too greasy like some cheesesteak sandwiches are. Bread was soft and the meat was tender. Very flavorful! The bad: just the awkwardness of the how the owner/management treats his staff. Yelling at them and making them repeat themselves to him in a demeaning tone. Cussing out loud for everyone can hear. The employees were very humiliated in front of everyone. Just felt bad for them.

    Philly salad with steak.

    Ok. My first time in here. Was met with music turned up to 11. I had flashbacks of my time in retail where we would blast the music after closing. Now I feel old, but the music was so loud I couldn't hear the person taking my order. Person after me also had same issue. Ordered the Philly salad, to go. Delicious meat. The salad bit threw me because it's hot meat off the grill into spring mix which immediately wilts. Kinda weird, but I have no solution. Flavor was great, interested in trying an actual sandwich next time. Wish Yelp allowed me to give half stars because I would've given 3.5.

    Pizza Philly and original Philly
    Nina L.

    After walking by this place so many times on the way to work, I finally decided to try it. My friend and i ordered the pizza Philly, the original and garlic fries to share. The original was good, but the pizza Philly was so really, really good. The portions were huge too, we weren't able to finish half of our sandwiches. The garlic fries were OK, crispy and fresh but not lacking flavor and seasoning. Isn't much service since you order at the cashier by the front door. On a warm day it was hot inside the restaurant, not sure what the ac situation is, I was sweating while eating my food.

However, if you like or love cheesesteak sandwiches, I suggest you give this little spot a try. We popped in for dinner to bring home. The two employees (potential owners) working there were super kind and friendly. When I asked if a sandwich could be made without onions, due to allergies, it was no problem. We got home and the food had tempered a bit, so we popped things quickly into the microwave and things were still yummy. Next time, I would eat there. Yes, there is not a lot going on ambiance wise, but their food is freshly prepared, fries are crispy, bread is soft, and meat is delish. Bring your appetite and Philly cheesesteak on!

My husband's family is from Buffalo and this restaurant boasts being the spot that brought Buffalo Wings to the Sacramento area. Looking through the photos on Yelp we knew we had to try the wings, but also some of the other items like their cheesesteaks, sandwiches and burgers. On this visit I ordered takeout and got 20 Buffalo Wings ($27.99), a regular sized Original Cheesesteak ($11.49), and an Italian Salami Sandwich ($11.49). They have a good amount of seating and a bunch of old school photos and memorabilia hanging up. It's a great stop for lunch and they have specials available that are a great deal. The staff was friendly and they packed up my food really well for the drive home. Even after my drive the food was still warm and everything we ordered was great. While we went for the wings, the Cheesesteak with its soft bread and flavorful filling was a standout. We'll definitely be back, and I've heard the burger is great too so it's on the list to try!
