Straight From Philly

Cheesesteaks deliver but the garlic Parmesan fries are worth of me writing this review a must get!

We ordered 3 North Philly cheese steaks tonight. They were absolutely deliciousI’m a Jersey girl, and I must say these are awesome sandwiches. Thank you Straight from Philly for bringing some authentic east coast flavor to the wild west!!!

Best philly place in Vegas!!! Fantastic customer service and they’re open pretty late for great food!

Our washing machine died, so we went to the laundromat on Lake Mead and Water Street, waiting for our laundry went next door to try the philly steak sandwiches and it was AMAZING! Reminded me of when I was in Philadelphia! Sooooooo gooooood!

While on vacation at lake Las Vegas we saw this place several times driving. This being our third trip in a years time I looked it up on Unilocal and saw some pics. I was sold. I went down there tonight after checking in to my hotel and getting settled. Please was clean and the staff was very nice. Menu was simple, the way it should be. As far as the food. BEST CHEESESTEAK I HAVE EVER EATEN. My kids (2&5) had a cheeseburger. And my wife had a gyro. I personally love the gyro as does she and she said it might be the best she has ever had. Couldn’t recommend enough. Well done

This is the best place to eat a philly no joke :) Im seriously addicted to coming here. Fat people problems. lol I usually get the south philly and sometimes when i dont feel like having a cheese steak I order the Gyro, BEST gyro i ever had so far in vegas. What can I say Im a happy customer.

The food is generally good, but the service is seriously lacking. I came in and ordered two cheesesteaks to go and the employees seemed bothered that I was there. They always seem to be out of toppings that the menu says they offer.

Second time coming here and the experience has been great. First time I came I ordered the half philly sub that comes with fries and a drink but they messed up and gave me a full sub with a drink… can’t get mad about that.
This time I got the philly fries and they are soooooo goooooood!
The employees smile and are fast.
Will definitely come back again

I had high expectations from this place after reading the reviews… but I have to disagree with their 4 stars for sure. There was also some serious word-​of-​mouth raving about this place.
My husband ordered the gyro. Turns out it was frozen, processed, lamb. Seriously??? Gross.
I ordered the philly with onions. It was meh… It wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t outstanding. I’ve had better at the Great Steak and potato company in the mall. The fries were greasy– and overall, it wasn’t some place I was impressed with. The prices were decent, but I won’t be going back.

The sandwiches were AMAZING and ginormous and they custom make every order — no heat lamps at this joint. Top it off with the juiciness and the amazing combo of meat and melted cheese and this is a Philly worth driving for. If you want a great Philly, come check this place out. The price is good too.
The only «issue» with this place is that it’s in a bit of a gritty neighborhood, but that has nothing to do with the quality or flavor of the food.

Probably the best cheesesteak you’re going to get in town both in terms of flavor and pricing.
They have a ton of topping options and specialty cheesesteaks. I got mine with Genoa salami, grilled onion and cherry peppers. They also have a pickle bar with various peppers free of charge. Every sandwich joint needs this. Also a golden staple of sandwich places are squeezable food lubes. This place has some great, spicy and tangy sauces to add at your table.
Bread stayed in tact thoughout my entire onslaught of sauces and peppers. The fillings were still pipin hot even after finishing one half of the sandwich and a serving of wicked atomic cheese fries. That’s gotta be some sort of Christmas miracle.
I’m very grateful this is not within walking distance to me, otherwise I probably wouldn’t make it to the opening of their next store once they get start expanding.

I ordered a cheese steak hoagie with mayo, ketchup, peppers and onions, a cheese steak with ketchup and onion, a side of onion rings and chicken tenders. Everything was delicious. The portions were generous and the price reasonable.
Being from South Jersey a cheese steak has become a staple in our diet and we’ve been on the hunt for the authentic Philly flavors. We need look any further. This place is the real deal with its shreaded steak, fresh rolls and a greasy paper bag !
The fries were thick which my kids prefer and seasoned perfectly. The cheese was spread over the fries not given on the side in a cup. The chicken tenders filled my two little ones and also came with a side of fries.
I will definitely be back and highly recommend anyone looking for an authentic Philly cheese steak to drop in.

As an avid Cheesesteak lover, I’ve tried a lot from all over. The best was in San Francisco. Now, I find this little gem in Henderson, actually there were two locations and now only one. I hit up this place at least once a week ordering my steak with mayo, mustard, ketchup and pickles and now extra cheese. The fries are pretty good too.
Also, tried the cheeseburger and was equally impressed by it.
As with any fast food place there are good days and bad days, but the good out-​weigh the bad. So, if you’re a cheesesteak fan, please give it a try. Call for the hours before you head down.

This is the first time I visited this location and it was ok. Like a previous reviewer said, my sandwich also had a lot of grease in the dish and it was not from the onions as one possibility he gave because even though I said wit, there were very little onions on my sandwich which means it must have come from the beef.
Overall the sandwich was a decent size, the fries were good, seasoned well and the staff was nice.
The location is on the corner of Lake Mead and Water street, large Yellow sign that says cheese steaks, burgers, gyros which is much more noticeable then the name of the place. So if you see this sign, you found it.
This is the only place I have found on this side of town that serves an authentic Philly as the owners are from Philly and they know what a real philly should taste like.
I am sure I will go to this place again as it is not far from the house. The prices are average and the food is decent. The staff is good and I keep seeing Free Ice Cream was given in some reviews, however it has never been offered to me so I am not sure what they are doing different then me.

After walking in on a Friday night and being told they were out of almost everything I said I would come back and give them another try. I wish I hadn’t. For a place that claims to be Straight From Philly and has pics of Philadelphia landmarks on the wall, I was not impressed.
$ 60 and 4 cheesesteaks to go turned into a very disappointing experience. From the canned mushrooms to meat that was flavorless, this was not a good experience. My kid will eat almost anything, but when he handed us his onion rings back and put his sandwich in the dog bowl I knew it wasn’t just bad, this was a one and done experience. Then when my wife looked at me and said never again because it was the most boring and bland cheesesteak she had ever had… I knew things were going from bad to worse. I’ll try almost anything once… and I was hungry so I did eat about half of my cheesesteak, but I was left thinking it wasn’t all that. In the end we had some very happy dogs who took care of the rest of it…
The staff here is friendly and I know this is a small shop that is trying to grow their business. I hate giving them a 1 Star review. But I have to call it as it is, good, bad, or even ugly. When I end up putting essentially 3 ½ sandwiches in the dog bowl… that’s 1 Star territory. I hope everyone else that tries them has a better experience but for me and my family who wish the East side of Henderson had more food choices, this is one place that will not be seeing us again.

First time and loved it! Get the atomic fries! Bacon jalapeños and banana peppers! This place is easy to miss. It’s right on the corner of Lake mead & water. The cashier is very nice.

Location isn’t anything fancy, but the food is cheap and good. Several $ 8 lunch combo options available, the namesake Philly sandwiches are the specialty, fries are skin-​on, lightly seasoned, and tasty. Bonus points for a variety of house-​made hot sauces at the condiment bar and free ice cream «samples» for dessert!

Killer Food!!! I had a regular cheese steak and it was just as good as I could possibly make myself at home, which is not what I can say for a lot of fast food restaurants. I shared an order of the bacon cheese fries with my daughter and not only were the fries ridiculously delicious! the bacon was fresh and spread liberally all over my fries with cheese (the way bacon cheese fries should be made). Finally my daughter had a gyro that came with fries and both were also delicious, the gyro meat was made very well and could put some «greek» restaurant gyros around town to shame. Good work Straight from Philly, please have menus we can take home or post your menu on social media.

Yo! My teenage years residing in Philly offered my stomach 300+ cheesesteaks and have reside in Las Vegas 23 years to only find one place that is serious about a cheesesteak. That place is on the other side of the Las Vegas Valley. However…
Straight From Philly has an exceptional location @ the SW corner of Lake Mead & Water Street, in Henderson. Easily found due to bright lighting shining on easily seen signage.
Wall photos and miscellaneous Philadelphia related décor was nice to see, and created a comforting atmosphere, that brought back fond memories I have of the City of Brotherly Love.
I’m told they will soon offer TastyKakes which would be a fantastic alternative to WalMart.
My son and I came in this past weekend, but they were out of beef. So we drove all the way back down here again on Monday evening and ordered a few cheesesteaks, fries & sodas. Reasonable price.
Very friendly service and very clean restaurant. However spraying an excessive amount of «Cashmere Wood» scented Glade in the women’s restroom less than 10 feet away while we were trying to eat ruined our appetite as the smell of the spray was so strong it seemed like it removed any hint of oxygen from the air. Completely unnecessary and ruined our dinner.
The Amoroso hoagie roll was as legit as it gets. However it was sliced too deep causing all three of our cheesesteaks to separate and become a two sliced sandwich mess. The fried onions or the meat, not sure which of one of the two, left a puddle of grease at the bottom of my tray. The meat didn’t have any special flavor to it, kinda bland.
I’ve had good conversations w/​the main chef and believe none of these issues would have happened if he was working this past Monday evening.
The bottom line is… Straight From Philly has good product, with potential to become the best restaurant to offer a cheesesteak in Henderson. We will most likely return again when in the area.
2.5 Stars rounded up to 3 Stars!
See 14 photos below… that should give you a great idea of how to find this place, size of the restaurant, menu selections including many specials, interior décor, and of course the food.
Unilocal 100 REVIEW CHALLENGE 2016: #26

Pretty good. Got the garlic philly. There could have been more meat on it and a choice of breads. Very spartan atmosphere/​décor. Additional parking by motel.

Food is amazing… i got the garlic Philly cheese steak and fries. It was probably the bast Philly i have had. The staff was very friendly. Only reason im giving it 4 stars is because it was all counter service so the wont bring it to the table. Not a big deal but that would make it perfect.

Omg then cheesesteak here is effing amazing. It was so good I ordered another one to go. I totally recommend this place to all who love beef. #yum

Amazing yum, the best PhillyCheese Steak ever!
The different hot sauce choices are amazing!
Great perfectly cooked fries, different peppers, my belly is so content!
Can’t wait to tasted the western bacon burger!

Easily one of the most enjoyable cheesesteaks I’ve had! Service is great and cheesesteaks are ALWAYS on point. :) I find myself coming here at least twice a week and I have no shame about it. Keep doing what you’re doing, guys!

The fries were perfect and the hot sauce is great. Can’t really go wrong with any of the cheesesteaks

This place is my best friend’s addiction. It’s right by his house, which adds to the non-​problem, but yeah. I personally think it’s good but not something that I need. The food is good, definitely great for hangovers, but just not my favorite.
The first time I came I got the chicken parmigiana sandwich, and it was pretty delicious. I have stolen bits of my friends’ cheesesteak fries, which are excellent. I have also gotten the garlic parm cheesesteak, which was ok, a little heavy on the garlic, but the steak was tasty. I think I was sad because I wanted the gooey cheese whiz, but whatever. Nice people working in here, convenient location and fairly priced food. But the real thing here… :
*THE FRIES ARE THE BEST FRIES I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!* Do not come here without getting some fries on the side. Your life will change. They’re crispy and seasoned perfectly. So amazing. I can’t eat other fries anymore. Come check it out! I’ve never been to Philly but the food here makes me wanna go. :)

This is as close to Philly as you can get in Nevada. Great choice of steaks and toppings with plenty of sides.
Prices are good and there are menu specials. Small parking lot and seating for around 28 so it can get crowded.

This place makes a delicious philly! Actually, the best I’ve had in this town. I’m not from Philly or anything, but it’s one of my favorite sandwiches. The bread is the key to this delicious philly. It’s soft and holds the meat and cheese perfectly. I have been craving this place since the last time I went. So happy it’s by my house

Pretty good food here. I got a philly sandwich and fries came with it that day for free. The fries were ok. Loved that there was plenty of cheese whiz on my sandwich and it was tasty.

This place is legit and friendly, quick service! Hands down the best cheese steak I’ve had outside of philly! I don’t frequent this area often but I was picking up my son from a birthday party and I noticed «Straight From Philly» cheese steak so I had to check them out. It was bangin! I’ll be back! Oh and because it was «Fri day» I got free fries with my cheese steak. Meaty, cheesy, greasy and the bread was on point too!

Ok let me start by saying the cheesesteaks were amazing on that alone I would have give a full 5 stars, but you can’t just get a cup of water there, kinda upsetting, it was WAY too cold temperature wise I was freezing, and the music was just ghetto kinda sucks cause cheesesteaks are usually not very good to take as a to go item but once again the food itself was awesome

I dropped in here for lunch today. I enjoyed my meal at Philly 1, so why not try Philly 2 and its closer to my work.
Its a bit smaller and hard to get into if you come from the east side. Located on the corner of Water and Lake Mead, next to a motel, small market store, and another business. Parking for about 5 cars total. The inside is smaller than Philly 1, with only about 6 – 8 tables. The menu is nice and large though, and they have expanded their selections with some delicious choices I didn’t remember from the first time around, like Garlic Parm cheesesteak.
Being unadventurous, I stuck with the basic cheesesteak and was rewarded with a delicious sandwich. Their bread is really top shelf. Plenty to eat, and the perfect amount of cheese to steak ratio. I’ll be back for sure… and only $ 7.95 for lunch and I got a free drink (or you could choose free fries). Friendly counter folk.

Definitely glad we found this little gem! Wasn’t busy because we came in before closing time. Orders were ready quick!
All American burger
Philly cheese steak
Chili cheese fries
Will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu!

Lunch special is only $ 5.95 for a sandwich and bomb ass fries!
I have been gyro spots around here and was not impressed until I met this joint! The bill fits the meal size, the meat is tasty and customer service was great-​friendly and helpful.
Def returning!

They do what they say they do!
Cheesesteaks: Rolls directly from Philly. Meat great. All the right options.
Cheeseburger: Outstanding! Perfect ratio of meat to toppings to bun. Great char from the grill and a $ 5.95 lunch special with fries to boot!
Fries: Double fried and properly seasoned.
Great food at a reasonable price.

To be honest, im not sure if it came from this location or the original one. This one doesnt have a listed phone number. I had called to put in an order for delivery for myself and one other while we were at work. Orders were placed over the phone and stated delivery in 30 – 40 minutes. Considering it took like 10 – 15 minutes to cook my 1 order when i went to the original location, 30 – 40 minutes? dang they good
Ordered a jalapeño cheesesteak with fried onions and a banana pepper cheesesteak with fried onions with specific instructions for a side of mustard for both. Order came in about 45 minutes direct to the department i work in. Nice and hot. Granted we got busy so couldn’t eat it so it sat for a while.
We ate it maybe 30 – 60 minutes later. some areas of the bread (ends) got hard and the meat got dry. no mustard either.
For $ 2 delivery, not bad when you work in a busy unknown environment like mine.
