ZELIA’S Cheesesteak & Subs

I absolutely love coming here when I have time to do so. Everytime I do me and the owners have a pleasant conversation while my meal is being lovingly crafted. Getting to know them bit by bit everytime I come in has been a wonderful treat on top of their amazing food.

I can't say enough about this place, give it a try, meet them for yourself, lovely people, great food, just be prepared to chat and hear about their amazing life.

Same elderly couple are still making sandwiches; however, not for the better. They are smaller, more expensive, and it's hard to think that all the ingredients listed on the menu are being used. There is no fair value in buying their product. We got three of the same sandwiches (Bacon Steak), and after paying $50 w/tax, it may have been the most disappointing food purchase we've made in years. Obviously, it was the last time ever coming here...

Wait can be a little long but is absolutely worth it. Great food

It's okay. Cheesesteak was good. Bread was very basic. Drinks were an afterthought.

Delicious cheesesteak made by a lovely couple and great price!

Elderly serving food. I love the spirit and drive. Hope the live forever!

An absolute wow experience 👏 I'm a big foodie and I don't eat out very much because I'd rather just cook myself. But I took a chance and I'm glad I did! Soooooo good! Wow!

Walking into Zelia’s felt like stepping into a warm memory. The cozy vibe and the kindness of the owners immediately reminded me of my grandparents — welcoming, genuine, and full of heart. The cheesesteak itself was delicious: perfectly grilled meat, melty cheese, and that just-right bread that ties it all together. It’s more than just good food — it’s comfort. Will definitely return. If I were to have any negative feedback, it would be the price being slightly high.

Yummy Philly cheese, the soda was a bit flat but I’m not complaining.

The Philly is the best in Spokane .
Closest thing I’ve found to a real Philly. The prices keep increasing though almost to the point where it’s not worth it. The owners are sweet and old. They work hard which I can appreciate! The only real downside is their hours here! They close at 3:30 PM So they’re always closed when I want a Philly lol.. Given school hours, if they stayed open just one hour longer, they would have so much more business!! I don’t want to see this place shut down. They are so yummy So I try to support them as much as I can, but seriously if they just opened their hours till 4:30 PM – 5 PM It would be a game changer. !!! And if not, if they offered DoorDash delivery or Ubereats they would GAIN so much more business as well!
*A normal large Philly is $17 but the meat has been lesser and lesser so I ordered double meat (usually that’s only a few bucks) but my sandwich came out to $22.
That’s more then restaurant pricing — I wish they’d do more to gain there business as opposed to continuously up charging the customers they do have

Photo is of a “double meat Philly”

Worst sandwich I ever had very little meat takes way to long only can cook one sandwich at a time over price bad customer service would not recommend. Very dirty establishment.

The owners are awesome people. Easy to talk to and make friends with. The Philly was so good! Won't find anything close to that tasty in this town.

This place! I don’t know what is to say, other than the food is spectacular! And it’s a true mom and pop shop! The older couple that own it still run it, from the guy making the food to the women tending the front! 5+ stars!
