The Philly Special

10/10 THE REAL DEAL. I’ve had more than a dozen Phillies through Chicagoland and this is THE ONE. Perfection in an honest philly crafted from a Philly native. Their cheese sticks are also delicious. The atmosphere bleeds philly pride. We drove an hour for this place and it didn’t disappoint.

Found this place on a Reel review and figured we stop by while in town for the Bears game from Tennessee. Best cheese steak outside Philly! The bread was perfection and the buffalo cauliflower bites were excellent. The fries were hot and cooked just the way they should be! The service was fast and friendly. Head on over to see Nick and he'll hook you up with some jawn!

The food was great closest thing to philly herre in the chicago area the owner nick was awsome very cool dude you can tell he loves his business and making his customers happy. Everything came out hot and fresh definitely recommend if your in the area or not

Excellent food. I read reviews about this place and decided to give it a try with my kids when I was in the area and it was definitely worth the stop. Owner greeted us as soon as we walked in and was happy to make recommendations when asked. We ended up getting the classic with cheese wiz and onions, and it was the best I’ve had and that’s not hyperbole. The owner also came to check on us occasionally and was happy to answer any questions I had. It’s a non-assuming, casual spot but they pay attention to their customers. They also do a great job keeping the place clean. Try this place out - you won’t regret it. As far as I’m concerned, I know I’ll be stopping in whenever I’m in the area.

I was referred here by Mira, who recommended I try their Philly cheesesteak—and she was absolutely right! I ordered the original Philly cheesesteak, and it was delicious. They bring in fresh ingredients daily from Philly, and you can taste the authenticity in every bite. The hand-cut fries were fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. On top of that, the guy at the cash register was super friendly and awesome, which made the experience even better. Big thanks to Mira for pointing me here—definitely a spot worth visiting for a true Philly cheesesteak experience!
