The Philly Special is a popular spot, especially for fans of cheesesteaks. Located in the Midwest, it offers delicious Steak Philly with white cheddar and onions. Customers love the thinly sliced beef, caramelized onions, and cheese, which create a flavorful combination. The menu features different sizes of sandwiches, with a 12-inch one big enough to share. The fries are highly praised for their crispy texture. Despite limited seating, the friendly owner and great prices make it worth the drive, even for those coming from Chicago. The atmosphere is casual and unassuming, located in a strip mall. The staff provide excellent service, and many customers find the food to be consistently delicious and well-seasoned. The cheesesteak is often described as authentic and filling, with some saying it’s the best in Lake County. Customers also enjoy the bourbon wings, hot pretzels, and the smash burger, which many consider the best in the area. Overall, The Philly Special offers clean surroundings, friendly service, and quality food that keeps people coming back.
