Best Philly's around!

Great cheese steak, best wings I've found in the Tri (naked and double fried), awesome fries and great service. It is a bit pricey. If it was better priced I'd probably be there more often.

Alley Kat when above and beyond last minute to provide a a meal. Everyone loved it and was very pleased. I would highly recommend alley kay for any needs small or big!

Rays way sauce is amazing in my opinion. Cordon bleu sub is delicious too.

First time eating here and loved the food and service! I made my second visit back today a week later and brought friends.

Food: 5 stars - I got the Philly, and the first bite was a taste bud explosion with flavor.

Service: 5 stars - Extremely friendly and make you feel welcome.

Atmosphere: 3.5- counter service and drink choices are out of a bottle cooler (as opposed to table service but food is brought to the table after ordering), and a more casual, contemporary style and decor, no music very quite(there is a TV)

Overall, it's a great place to eat. I will continue to come back it's definitely worth it, and I highly recommend it!

Not sure where to start. The food was good. Not cheap though. Not like the truck used to be a few years ago, but that’s understandable. The Philly was not filled nearly as much as they used to, even smaller than before, and the prices have risen much more than before as well. But my sandwich was good regardless. The fries were very good but I did ask for no ranch on my buffalo fries and they came with ranch anyways. I am extremely picky to the point I will get sick if I try to eat something I don’t like but I did push through and eat these not to cause a fuss. My child’s chicken Philly was cold and unappetizing. She did not touch it and I tried to take a bite and almost spit it out immediately. The dining room is extremely small and bare bones and awkward. White walls and bright fluorescents make for a headache. Feels like a dentist office. They have nothing on the walls so everything echoes and it made me feel very nervous trying to eat there with my children while other people were there. It actually felt like people were quiet and tried to leave because of us unfortunately. It wouldn’t cost much to find some decorations at the dollar tree or an antique shop and make it much nicer in there and reduce the noise. There’s no music, just a tv, that’s turned down very low. The cashier was nice. We might come back? I have mixed feelings because my meal was pretty good but there were other things that left me feeling awkward. For us paying just as much as bigger restaurants it should not be so bare bones in there. It would be cool if the kids dessert was not just prepackaged cookies. They should invest in a drink machine as well. They only offer bottled drinks. I got a tea and was not a fan of the one that was offered. Kids get a capri sun. Personally I try not to load my child up with sugar. I do hope they can improve upon certain things because they could be doing much better I think! I do not want to deter people from coming here but I also want the owners to be able to improve from an honest opinion. I think people should come here, because the food is good, and hopefully if they make more money the experience will improve to feel more worth the cost. (Spent $50-60 on our meal, this is relatively similar cost to eating out at a big chain restaurant for all of us but without the comfort experience. And I think that’s part of what gets me.)

Everything about our experience here was amazing! The best Philly cheesesteaks I’ve ever had. The buffalo chicken philly is delicious as well. Everyone needs to try this place!

Great flavor, just alittle shy of meat. Not bad enough to kill it, but it could have used a little bit more. I combined everything onto one side on a large. But it tastes great.

Update:
Ok. Wow. So I ordered door dash, the didnt have a drivrr for an hour. Then a 20 min drive.
I called the store told the girl who answered was nice explained it qas sitting there waiting for the driver.
So 30min later I get the food, and it's hot and full of meat. Taste amazing!. I think they remade them but OMG. Just awesome! Food 4 to 5

I grew up just a little bit north of Philly, and this is hands down the best cheese steak I have had since I moved away, and believe me I have been searching for a long time. These guys take the time to get everything right from the fresh onions and peppers, the meat, the cheese whiz, and they are the only place I have been outside of PA that doesn't screw up the rolls. Absolutely fantastic experience, 15/10 will be eating here again.

Everything is always hot, fresh and so flipping good! I am addicted to the buffalo fries!

Ordered a chicken cordon bleu sandwich, but I ordered it special way for a family member. I asked for ham only and leave off the chicken. There was absolutely NOBODY ELSE THERE BUT ME AND NO OTHER CUSTOMERS!!! Get a call from the family that the sandwich was a Philly cheesesteak sandwich when she opened it??!?? He intentionally gave me the wrong sandwich. That is extremely annoying and absolutely ridiculous! I wasted $13.00 on a sandwich I did not even ask for. Alley Katz needs to shut down or be given a different name! The quality of service/food from the original owners that opened the restaurant years ago has veered off tremendously. I will NEVER be back! I’m am so pissed as they was so uncalled for!!???

I ordered Alley Kat on Doordash and the food was amazing, and arrived fresh when I ordered it! The only drawback would be the prices, which are definitely a little high.
