Don't live in this city so I didn't know it existed, my wife and kids know it from visiting during band competitions. We stopped by after a doctor's appointment. Now I have to come back! This place alone is worth the trip, I ordered the BBq Philly, and OMG it was gooood! Super soft bread, super tender steak and sausage, and the bbq was perfectly flavored not bland not spicy. The Seasoned fries are legit, perfectly seasoned and crispy, super pleased with my meal. I also made the best choice ever of ordering a strawberry cheesecake smoothie....gawd lawd...10/10 experience. The joint is old school and I would say it's perfect for a hangout with friends. Gave me a "the bear" joint vibe, which is a good thing.

Very nice small restaurant on a busy corner. Modern industrial designed dining area. Very clean with plenty of sitting. We were greeted promptly and the menu was explained when we ask questions. My husband ordered the original Philly and fries and I ordered the chicken Philly. We haven’t had a New York Philly, so we have only our experience at places like Penn Station Subs, which I believe is a North East restaurant, as we are from Ohio. The original Philly was good, however in our opinion it needed more seasoning to the meat, and more of it. The bun to meat ratio wasn’t great. My chicken Philly was dry and again not much seasoning on the meat. I also felt the bun to meat ratio was low. The fries were very good with plenty of seasoning. The meal came out quickly and was hot, as

Lunch was interesting today as I stopped at Philly 77 for a South Texas version of a Philly cheesesteak combined with some freshly cut fries. This was a cool little stop on the road today. The atmosphere is very inviting and Adrian the staff member who helped me was very informative and helpful. I didn't want to go overboard on my order. But they have some amazing pictures of french fries and ice cream combined.. based on my experience today I would definitely be back. Philly 77 thank you for a good experience. 🤝

Does anyone know if Philly 77 has new owners? We went this weekend and we ordered our usual items but the turkey sandwich my husband usually orders came with chopped up turkey pieces that didn’t even equal a slice. We asked if they had made changes because the turkey has never looked that way, but the staff said it was always like that . Hmmm. I usually order the traditional Philly but the meat was gamey and chewy. My daughter ordered a cheeseburger but we had to pay for pickles. 🫤I’ve never heard of this. I’m sad because we really liked it there but now I don’t think we will be going back.

I typically prefer they bring menus to the table instead of having u order there in line (makes me feel rushed) but the service was great and I enjoyed my Philly cheese steak 😀 and the sweet potato fries 🍟 were delicious 😋. The desserts are amazing! We had the strawberry cheesecake shake & key lime cheesecake shake to go and I didn't realize we'd get the glass mason jars to keep! I'll definitely be back to try more!
