We moved here from Philly 6 mos ago - this is def not a Philly cheesesteak. The roll is not Amoroso (essential) and you would never find tomato and pickle in a cheesesteak!! Service was good, atmosphere ok. Over-priced for what you get. Frankie’s is much truer to the real thing.

The food and the restaurant are absolutely great but your business hours make absolutely no sense. Who closes at 3pm!?

Man oh man! I don’t know where to start. I was craving a Philly cheesesteak, I opened up Google maps and it led me here hands-down the best Philly cheesesteak I have ever had in my entire life. They are not lying when they say it’s Phillies finest. I 100% recommend this establishment to any and everyone. This is my new spot now. And I will definitely be back. Keep up the great work.

Philly's is the best. I live in Mesa but when I come to Tucson I have to have a Philly's Cheese Steak or Chicken Cheese Steak sandwich, they are The BEST!!
Just got back from Philly's Finest at 6210 E Speedway Blvd in the Monterey Village Shopping Center — and unfortunately, it was a major letdown. I used to be a regular at the Ajo Way location, where the food was filling and the staff made you feel genuinely welcome. That location always had a great atmosphere and positive energy.
This Speedway location? Completely different. The vibe was off from the moment we walked in. No greetings, no smiles, barely any communication. The staff seemed to be hiding in the back, and customer service was non-existent. It felt like no one wanted to be there — and it absolutely showed.
I even made it clear when we walked in that it had been years since I visited Philly’s Finest, hoping to spark some engagement or at least a warm welcome. Instead, nothing. If the tall, dark-haired guy is the manager, he clearly has interpersonal issues. He never once checked in or asked how the food was. That’s basic customer service — especially for someone leading the team.
The food itself was just as disappointing. I ordered the Original Philly, and it was tiny. Hardly any meat or cheese, bland in flavor, and the roll felt more like a hot dog bun than a sub. Definitely not what I expected, especially knowing how good the Ajo Way location used to be.
Honestly, the staff needs serious retraining — or replacement. There was zero personality, zero effort, and zero care for the customer experience. As a local business owner, I can say confidently that if this was my team, they’d be let go. Not everyone is meant to work in customer service.
If the owner doesn’t step in and make changes soon, this location is going to lose business fast. Bad reviews are going to pile up, and loyal customers like me won’t be returning.

Customer service was horrible felt like they didn't want us there. Also no personality whatsoever. Food was ok Philly chese steak was small and the burger was a frozen patty.
