The Philadelphian

This was hands down the best pastrami sandwich I’ve ever had. And I love pastrami sandwiches. I got the pastrami with provolone and all the garnishes—onions, peppers, pickles, lettuce. It was so unbelievably tasty. The cashier recommended I eat it with the au jus sauce which was an amazing recommendation. Do NOT hesitate to eat here. Atmosphere is simple, lowkey, fun…love this place. Will be returning.

I dare you to say there’s a better French Dip or Cheesesteak in the valley. There’s not. There is so much fresh, roasted, shaved beef in these subs you won’t know what to do with yourself. The bread is always so fresh and hot, soft and just slightly chewy. Yum!!! The meatball sub is also a hands down favorite. So good! The Philadelphian is the only restaurant I know that sells English Chips—little fried nuggets of potatoey goodness. They’re so good! Portions are very generous. The young men that staff this place are all real ones. They know what’s good, and they bring it every time.

This is an iconic place with great food. I was a little disappointed in the 4" pepper steak. I was OK with the size but it lacked volume with the contents. My companion ordered the 6" and received over double the amount of meat. The taste was great and the onion rings had a batter I hadn't seen in years. I will go back next time I'm in town but will order the 6" or greater.

You know you are in for a treat at a decent price when the parking lot is full of electrician, plumber and HVAC vans. The food was fresh and tasted great. Service was also on point. Everything is cooked to order and they do it right. The kicker was the value. You get huge portions compared to most other “sub shops.” 10/10 would eat there again.
