  Had an amazing cheese steak here the other day!  The fresh ingredients, the bread...everything was great.
  
  I went with the inferno which had some heat but was basic steak onions cheese and beef.  
  
  Man I will have to come back for these, like nothing else in town!

  One of my husbands favourite places to eat, he always would point it out as we drove past. I never thought to give it a try until we were looking for something on the northside to check out.
  Family friendly with a moderate amount of seating. I wouldn't plan to come and stay with a large group, but for our group of 5 it was good. Wish they had some outdoor seating. Lots of parking in the area.
  This is the place to get a Philadelphia Cheesesteak sandwich. We ordered a couple- one with sauce and one with seasoning. The sweet chilli sauce was a amazing and definitely the group favourite. The seasoning for the other sandwich we choose was mango chipotle and it was not as power packed as the sauce. Next time I would try both a seasoning and sauce.
  We also ordered the poutine as they had quite a flavourful variety- the buffalo chicken poutine was good.
  Cactus cuts had the most interesting honey, dill sweet sauce. And the sweet potatoes fries were very good- the sauce that they came with with so good! If you order cactus cuts I would personally ask for a side of the dip that normally comes with the sweet potatoes fries.
  Tip! Orders don't come with drinks and unfortunately you have to order them separately and everything is bottled so it does add to the overall cost of a meal.

  Pleasant surprised.  Great sandwich and friendly service. No Cheese Wiz but the sandwich and sides were hot and fresh.  I highly recommend you try this place.

  It's a nice alternative to the regular fast food chains, and the service is really great. It was our first time visiting and there was no one else around, so the girl behind the counter was really patient in making suggestions and answering our questions.
  
  We went with the 12" philly cheese steak and it was great. Cooked to order, everything was nice and hot and the vegetables weren't super mushy (hate mushy peppers and onions). Lots of cheese and a decent amount of meat so you didn't feel like you were just eating a mouth full of bread with each bite. We also ordered a side caesar (too heavily dressed, and with those weird synthetic bacon bits) and the cactus chips that came with an addictive honey dill dip that we couldn't get enough of. Finally, the philly supreme burger with cheese, bacon and an onion ring - it was good, but everything got soggy on it really quickly.  I'd stick to the cheese steaks over the burgers.

  I have cravings for a Hot Philly sandwich every few weeks. When I finally give in and go I never regret it! The beef is sliced thin, warm and juicy, and piled high. I usually try to eat in because take out can get the bread soggy and doesn't give you the full Hot Philly experience.
  
  The location leaves a little to be desired. Being attached to a Jiffy Lube and kind of in no man's land in a large parking lot doesn't give you a lot of confidence but don't let that deter you! Inside there are a few tables and stools with some newspapers for those that want to eat in.
  
  The price is definitely worth the portion that you get. They make it on the spot, to order, and they are consistent with their product.
