Philly’s Phinest

Best cheesesteak around aside from Pat’s in Philly of course! Amoroso roll & all, after all that’s what makes it. Friendly service, pretty wide delivery range (they deliver to me in Kingston) & not crazy expensive. I usually order the «monster» size because it can feed two people or one very hungry person.

I was visiting PA and wanted to get a genuine Philly Cheese steak for myself and my son. I mentioned to the cashier that I had found them via Unilocal and they had the #1 review in the area for cheese steaks. She just smiled and said yes. The sub was great! We had the option to put tomato sauce on which we did… highly recommend, will be back :) PS. we ordered the 14″ monster sub… which fed 3 people about $ 12, great deal!

The best place to get a hoagie! They have hot and cold sandwiches. Pizza is just okay and the appetizers are always tasty. They have great hours, open early and close late. They also deliver.

Amazing food as always. They never disappoint. Doesn’t matter what I get, it’s always good. Great staff as well.

Good food, but they make mistakes alot.

One of my favorite places. Their Philly cheese steak sandwich is great. More importantly they have a big and a monster size. I’ ll leave it up to you to figure out which one i order… They lady there once didn’t believe i’d eat it all myself. When she came back she was mouth open and laughed. Maybe it was what my wife said. «you know it’s all about proving you wrong now right». Maybe. Just maybe it was.

Food was fantastic! Service was exceptional and we couldn’t have been happier. I agree with some other reviews; need to update and move storage to the back! Family owed for 25 years… They are doing something right!

After feeling iffy about reviews me and my band mates decided to give Philly’s Finest a shot.
I expected a mediocre sandwhich and ok service at best based on what I read… wow was I wrong… this was my experience…
Upon entry the décor will not give you an «eye-​gazm» and you may feel like your at a beer package store rather than a food joint… then you smell the amazing aroma coming from the back.
The staff was prompt to greet and shared some casual jokes while we read the menu. I ordered a traditional cheese steak with whiz, onions and green peppers… my bandmate ordered the chicken cheese steak with american cheese and sweet and hot peppers. Then we saw a two for one deal on a few different choice brews and asked if we could get the same deal with the beer we wanted and the manager quickly replied yes. I was already sold.
Next the food came out… what a treat for my pallet! !! The first bite of my steak had a perfect blend of whiz, steak, onions, peppers and bread!!! All flavors were dank and I was able to seperate them in the one bite. Next came the bite with no whiz… still a tasty sandwhich! The meat was juicy, the veggies were cooked yet crunchy not soggy, the whiz wasn’t overbearing and bread was a prefect blend of chewy yet soft!
Before we could set our sandwhiches down from the first couple bites the nice server brought us a fresh order of fries on the house just to be nice.
Fries were hot, but just standard fries. Next came my first bite if the «Chicken Philly»!!! Being I am such a fan of the traditional philly and have never tried the poultry version so I had no expectations. It was good. If you’re a chicken person it would probably rank high on a food goodness scale but it just didn’t do it for me. So I ate that half before devouring the rest of my sandwhich.
I realky wanna give this joint 5 stars… but being this is my first review I want to be real. If they stepped up thier décor game to match the quality level of the food and staff that might have happened.
Don’t let the décor stop you though… if you are looking for a delicious traditional Philly in the Plains Pa area «Philly’s Finest» should be your destinstion!!!
Do yourself a favor… heed thier warning about the temperature of the food when it comes out… I didn’t and definitely burned my mouth but it was so tasty I just endured the heat and literally inhaled my food!!!

Yessss! Finally a philly cheesesteak done RIGHT!!! This place gets it! I travel for a living and know good food when I see it.
I’ll start with its in a strip mall but who cares! I got an original cheesesteak with wiz (yes… cheese wiz because that’s how you do it!!!) for $ 7. Their is also a variety of beverages and even pizza if you want. I purchased the 2 for $ 5 24oz Corona (great price). after a short wait in what was seemingly a clean and comfortable table (the décor needs some updating). I was greeted with a massive cheesesteak to accompany my large 24oz Corona. I also ordered a chicken cheesesteak as well which looked equally good. Great service and even better food will keep me and my band come info back for more!!!

Always a big hit! They get it right and get it to you on-​time. DELISH! Really friendly when ordering by phone. Highly recommend for Take Out or Deliver –not so great for dining in.

Great sub place even though the food is sometimes hit or miss.
Some folks up front taking the orders take their own preferences into account and attempt to talk you out of getting certain toppings, to the point where they’ll have open debate with you. Then once you get your food, you’ll most likely notice toppings missing from whatever you’ve specified, –even– if you’ve told them to put everything on it.
Consistency of the food is a bit awkward as well. Sometimes the cook makes things how you expect, then other times you can tell someone else is filling in for them since they usually throw things all over the place, or cut things up in places where they shouldn’t and toss them in. One time I had ordered a cheeseburger sub and they gave me completely broken up ground beef. I have no clue what that was about, really.
When they do get things right though, it’s a hit right out of the park.

Best cheesesteak in Wilkes Barre. It’s all about Amoroso’s rolls! Closest thing to a real Philly steak in NEPA!

The food was OK the young lady In there was so nice the older lady was very nasty make sure u don’t talk to her

Philly’s is yet another example of a business in this plaza that has earned great reviews and staying power through the years. It also happens to serve an absolutely perfect-​sized medium cheesesteak with no fanciness — it’s cheesesteak the way god intended.
The fries are also way better than should be expected from a strip mall eatery. You typically have to hit up a long-​standing sports bar with a decent cook to get this type of flavor and consistency for the price. Plus there’s a much better beer selection than you might expect. Each time I come here I think I know what I want, but I almost always end up changing my mind or buying more. The most impressive aspect of Philly’s is that there are many other places to grab this type of food in the area, but they continue to come and go while Philly’s has become a Carey Ave cornerstone. Totally a fan.

awesome food. usually order a monster chicken cheese with extreme wings. great with time and friendly staff. large selection of beers as well

Excellent, go for it!

Really friendly service, but I didn’t enjoy the cheesesteak. The meat was good quality, but the cheese sauce tasted kind of burnt or something. Ever have really bad nacho cheese they usually serve at the movie theatre with your corn chips? It tasted like that. I love wiz so it wasn’t the texture, just the taste. It ruined the sandwich. I ordered a side of onion rings, but they were really overdone and I only ate one of them. I’d like to come back to try their wings/​pizza, but this first time around I was expecting better based on the glowing Unilocal reviews…

Great cheesesteak! Better than the ones I have had in Philly! Highly recommend this place and the monstrous is HUGE.

Great salads and cheesesteaks*****

One of the best places to get a Philly Cheese steak in the valley hands down.
