About The Philly Special

The Philly Special offers authentic Philly Cheesesteaks with Whiz and Amoroso's rolls, just like in Northeastern PA. This restaurant has a fun atmosphere filled with Philly sports memorabilia and old-school arcade games. The generously portioned sandwiches are loaded with cheese and meat, served on soft, warm bread. Customers praise the juicy steak, perfectly cooked mushrooms, and the overall delicious flavors, describing it as the best cheesesteak in the area. The owner, Joy, is known for her friendly service, making sure everyone feels welcome. New customers have enjoyed dishes like the Mushroom Philly, A1 Philly, and Chicken Parm sandwich, with many highlighting the delicious bread as a key element. With a clean and nice decor, The Philly Special is a hidden gem that continues to impress with its fantastic Philly experience. Handcrafted milkshakes and items like garlic wings and pizza cheesesteaks have also received high praise, making it a place worth visiting again.
