The sandwich was great - a ton of meat and good flavor to the chicken and veggies. It was a lot of bread, so I ended up ripping some of the bread off, but the sandwich was great. Fries not being included seems just being cheap, but guess everything is more expensive these days. I would get it again. read more

I ordered the chicken cheesesteak but it had obviously been cooked where the hot chicken was. Too much spice for me. My friend from Philadelphia ordered hers without onions. But she could still taste the onions from the sandwich before. read more

The Philly Special - Sandwiches Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Philly was over cooked and dry...had the works (with onions, mushrooms, peppers and jalapenos ..peppers were charred Had onion rings (4 for $3.50) were over cooked and panko crusted...menu said hand dipped..came from a plastic bag so sandwich and rings was $17 not impressed. read more

PROS: very nice place with a good menu variety at nice prices. Staff is friendly and I can see them hurrying CONS: the cheesesteak was bland due to no seasoning and it took a long time to be served. Fries are not included with the cheesesteaks as well OVERALL: I would come back here because it's a better option than others in the shopping mall, but don't expect it to be real Philly cheesesteak read more

Located up in the food court of 5th and Broadway this was a great option after taking part in libations!! Service - friendly and easy, order from the counter and they text and call your name when order is ready! It's a flood court atmosphere so it's order at counter and grab a seat where you can. I had the Philly fries - ribeye, fries, onions and cheese whiz. Ate every bite and was so good, it's a good portion for one not shareable in my opinion unless you're sharing multiple things. My brother had the original Philly and said it was packed with flavor! To be in Nashville it was good ! I had their lemonade which is made with agave so the sweetness is limited. read more

It was pretty good but not spectacular. Price is good. They put way too many jalapeños in the works. The bread was soft and meat tender. It is worth a try. read more

The Philly Special was a pricey disappointment. Located in the upper level of the food haul, it was one of the shorter lines during lunch hour on a Thursday. I opted for the classic philly with cajun fries and queso. It took over 20 minutes to receive the meal. I liked the cajun fries and queso and their lemonade. However, the philly was one of the driest ones I've had. They definitely overcooked the meat. My son ordered the chicken sandwich (nashville hot inspired) and it was not good either, very bland. Overall, the meal could have been better. I would not pick this again if we returned. read more

**I am from Philly** This was the most disgusting Cheesesteak I've ever had in my life. To make an already bad cheesesteak worse.. IT WAS SPICY!!! CHEESESTEAKS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE SPICY!! Call this a place a meat sandwich place, but it's a sorry excuse of a cheesesteak. The company should absolutely ashamed of themselves and I think they should maybe try an actual cheesesteak sometime. read more

My visit here was absolutely outstanding! After looking at all of the options in Assembly Food Hall I settled on The Philly Special. I was looking for a hearty greasy meal and this checked all the boxes. I ordered The Original with ribeye and whiz. I also got a side of their crinkle fries and a soda. The soda was the only negative of this experience but that isn't their fault. The food hall has common soda machines all around and on this particular day they were very busy and had no ice in any of the machines. The coke also was lacking in syrup. Again, not their fault but wanted to mention. The sandwich was absolutely amazing and everything I was looking for. The combination of flavors was cheesy, greasy, bready goodness. The bun also had a nice crisp that added some good texture. The fries were very crispy and hot. I love a crinkle fry and these were no exception. Next time I stop by the food hall I may want to try something new since there are so many options, but at least I know I can rely on The Philly Special if nothing else seems appetizing. read more

The Philly Special in one of over 20+ eateries in the new DT Nashville Food hall. I got 'the Works' which was a Philly cheesesteak with green/red bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and jalapeños. It was hit and delish. Barbara got the standard Philly cheesesteak with 'wiz' sauce. Very good lunch! read more

Got the classic Philly Cheesesteak. I've had many authentic cheesesteaks in Philadelphia and not too picky about them in other places (I'll even have one at J Mikes here and there). Tell me why the meat in the Philly Cheesesteak was spicy? It isn't supposed to be - at all. I don't know if the lady went crazy on the seasoning or something but I actually needed to take a sip of water after every bite because of how strong it was (not in a good way). It threw off the whole experience for me read more

I've lived here long enough to know things just aren't going to taste the same as they do elsewhere. Dunkin just slaps up north. It's a fact. Knowing that, The Philly Special filled my nostalgia void. Full disclosure here, I wasn't eating cheesesteaks in Philly. I was eating them in NJ mall food courts and making them at home with Steak-umms. So I am not an expert nor do I claim to be even remotely close to one. I'm just a fan of cheesesteaks and I know a bad when at first bite. I'll defer to the Philly people on its authenticity. This cheesecake isn't a bad one. It's a perfectly satisfying, tasty, customize-it-as-you-want cheesesteak. I enjoyed it so much I ordered it again. It's going into my regular rotation. When I'm missing that teen mallrat feeling, I am going to order one and feel all warm and fuzzy inside. As an aside, the first time I ordered I unknowingly pulled off a pretty epic troll. For the Pats/Eagles game I ordered my husband a cheesesteak from the Philly Special. I totally forgot about that play! He was at a friend's house and I ordered without telling him. I put it in the fridge for the game the next day. He ate it, he liked it, but boy did it bring up bad memories of that game. I can't help myself, my sub-conscious lives to troll him. What can I say?! This might be a new tradition! "Hey Siri, remind me to order from The Philly Special every time the Pats play the Eagles." read more

Nice meat but not up to the the Philly name. Quick and easy In and out Overpriced with a smile ...that and a pile of meat is what you get at The Philly Special. I expect more. Where the CHEESE? It's a cheesesteak. Right? The meat was spiced, not fatty, and delicious. The Works with ribeye, caramelized onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, jalapenos, and Provolone was ok. That and a drink rang in at $16.31 w/ tax. Not worth it. The disappointment was mostly with the small amount of cheese but also in the bread. Missing the toasted, mayo/buttered goodness to hold in all the meatness. Instead the sandwich is served in a glorified hotdog bun that wishes it were at the ball park to take in a game. There must be better read more

Food-ordered a prime rib philly. Everything was precooked and "warmed" on the grill. Bland. Bread was just ok. Service was ok, sandwich took about 5 min. Ambiance- its in the Assembly Food Hall, which has a lot of options but they don't appear to be authentic as they claim. My review of the Schwarma place from the same day was about the same as this experience, 3 stars. read more

Horrible service, took 30 mins to cook a single cheesesteak! Then it was plain with no flavor.

We were in Nashville for a couple days and starving after our trolley day. One of the souvenir shops recommended The Assembly Hall to some other customers, so we mosied over. I hadn't had a Philly sandwich in ages. I got the original chicken. The sandwich was good but the fries weren't very hot. read more

This was my first time at 5th & Broad, and man when I say there were some many choice I am not exaggerating. When I came across The Philly Special I was greeted with great welcome from Drew and he broke down the whole menu for me to understand and narrow down my options, to the chicken works and Cajun fried. I swear It was so good that I eat it so fast as if someone was trying to take it from me but men that was the best Philly I've ever had. So if you're ever at the 5th & broad please stop by The Philly Special!!! read more

honestly pretty damn good but please can you roll up your cheesesteaks!! everything is falling apart and the bread is barely anything it just gets steamed and sad and wet so i had to eat this so fast but its ok because the filling was good. jalepenos good addition i recommend (also why dont u guys ask if i want whiz i feel like im missing out) read more

Do yourself a favor and skip this place. I really wanted to like this. At a bare minimum a philly cheesesteak it tasty. A special one is memorable. This experience was memorable for all the wrong reasons though. I understand 5th + Broadway is a very busy location with tons of foot traffic. Every other spot we've eaten at in this little shopping center has had great service and food though. I ordered The Works. Which is supposed to have Ribeye, caramelized onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, jalapeños, Provolone. Sounds good. They were busy so after they made my sub I took it and sat down. After examining it I realized it LITERALLY only had the ribeye and one piece of cheese. No mushrooms, jalapenos, none of the other toppings. I would have understood a simple mistake. But this was just laziness from the staff. Even the standard "original" Philly from them has onions on it, which mine didn't have. So they just slammed meet and cheese on there, looked at my ticket which said "THE WORKS" on it, and said order up. By the team I realized this I knew it'd take 20-30 mins to get another sub, and it wouldn't have even been worth it. The food was pretty bland and unseasoned as well. read more

Awesome cheesteak! Roll was super soft and steak was good. Cheese can be American or whiz or both!!! For those from the East they crab fries too! read more

I ordered the Texas cheesesteak. Worst I ever had! I love salt but this was so salty it's as if someone spilled a salt shaker on it. Was inedible. Bottled water was fine. read more

The cheese steaks were tender with peppers and cheese is a must to bind the ingredients. The bread was still fluffy with a crisp while the meat being juicy! They also did the fries well by making it seasoned crispy and soft making the entire meal extremely enjoyable. read more

The best Philly I ever had!!!! I'm sure the Jersey or Philly boys would disagree. Super fast service, under priced for the taste of this delicious sandwich! The bun is heated and soft and pairs perfectly with the steaks and hot melted cheese. Highly recommend trying this place read more

Not good at all bread was soggy onions cold overall sucked (my opinion) for sure i won't be back. Very over priced..

Well, if all you want to review is taste, then you are all good. However, for $10 for a Philly, if you expect friendly service and to get what you paid for the avoid this place at all costs. The staff is rude. Again they taste good but the staff will argue with you if you ask for them to correct something that is obviously wrong. So. Again, food tastes good but staff and and service SUCKS!!!! read more
