Fat Philly's: Reviews & Ratings
Close to the airport so really convenient. No tables inside but the Philly cheesesteaks are the best I have ever had. Better than downtown Philadelphia!
The food was delicious and the people there are very friendly. This place looks like a market on the corner but don't let that fool you. They have good quality food!!!
Highly recommend. Don't be deterred because of the convenience store atmosphere; this was one of the best cheesesteaks I've had in the 757. I ordered a large cheesesteak combo with fries and a drink for about $15. The fries were delicious and crispy with the perfect (good) amount of seasoning to go with a philly. Ordered the sandwich "plain" with just mayo, cheese, onions and the meat. Good portions - lots of meat! The owner seemed like a really passionate guy and was very friendly. Will definitely stop in next time I'm around the area.
You want a real tender ribeye cheesesteak with real cheese then this is your place. Every time I've been here the subs have been amazing. I only get the Philly since that's the name of the place. Service is quick for what you are being served a shaved fresh cooked steak and fries. Somehow is faster than Jersey Mikes is beyond me they only have to cook the steak that is already portioned. My gripe with Jersey Mikes is the cut the meat too think and that's not a real Philly. A real Philly has meat in it lol. Plus the store has other things you can buy. Very convenient. So I don't get why people complain the soda machine is out. The dude has a whole store of refrigerators full of drinks lol. That's how you know people get on Yelp just to complain. Ambiance I'm not too crazy on just be safe out there and careful while you in the store is the best advice I can give you.
Some days a good beef hotdog is needed. This was the day. I called it in asked for grilled onions, chili cheese ketchup and mustard and it was yummy yummy in my tummy!!!! The local hotdog places only serve raw onions. So I was excited when he said yes that he would grill them. I believe it was about $6 or $7. Quick cheap fix to satisfy those midday work cravings.
