The Original Philly's

Great sandwiches, friendly service. It's very rich food. If I recall correctly, the usual has mushrooms, fried onions / green peppers. The fries were really big compared to what I expected. I got the long sandwich and had a whole other meal with what I couldn't finish. Call ahead with you're order if you're going to pick it up. Or just eat under the trees just outside the front entrance.

The owner has always been friendly, polite, and generous over the years. You get a sandwich filled with a massive amount of meat, flavored with cheese & other goodies. The fries are large & yummy. Drinks are super cold. But now The place it's self does not look inviting, and welcoming even though they gave it an outside face lift a few years ago. Actually now if you took a peak inside while standing outside , you would end up with so many questions on your mind mostly about hygiene,as if no one is looking after the place to keep up the aesthetic look, and the appeal of the place, and the cleanliness of the place. The place look dark, not enough lighting , plus other things. (Sad) We used to dine in before covid. Back then The place used be clean & inviting and the food was really good. So we learned to trust that their food was always good. But now you have to order outside the restaurant door.,. Their prices have gone up . It's ok. , and you would expect the food to come as good as always been. But No. The main dish( the cheese meat sandwich) is not as good as used to . It is like the owner does not care about the quality of his meat that he is serving to his customers. The meat itself has a funny smell ( almost funky) Like a strong gamy , or meat smell similar to meat left outside the fridge for a long time. You still get a massive amount of meat on the sandwich, But Then the food taste, will force you to stop eating, after you take a few bites. And you wants to give it to a hungry stray animal or a bird,or put it your trash bin. You think this is a one time incident, but after you order a few times you lose your trust that was built over the years for this place. Also because now it is like a take out , you get none ,Or don't get enough condiments to enjoy your food with. And the owner does not put enough in your food bag. There is no area that is built just for waiting customers. It is rough outside the building.

Omg. I missed this place. The best Philly Cheese steak around. The full order is plenty for almost three people. Meaty, juicy plenty cheese. I like lettuce and tomato and mushrooms. Let's talk about the Awesome customer service person name Judith taking orders and delivering order. Best attitude, pleasant personality and all around awesome!. Job well done!

Changing my review due to improvements! I love the Original Philly because it's been around since I was a kid. They have longevity within the community! They are truly a black business staple that i hope never goes away. Original Philly is welcoming to all members of the community. My grandmother who recently passed would always bring us Phillys Fridays from here, She really loved her pepper chicken steak philly And this is one of my fondest memories of her. She always celebrated black businesses and supported them. Along with her wisdom and love for good food, she passed the tradition of Philly fridays to the younger generation. We love their hospitality- and with my family mostly being from the East Coast it's very hard to find that atmosphere at other businesses in Seattle. Original Philly is family business is still providing affordable options for our community evenwith the changing economy. Everyone in this area has raised their prices due to gentrification, but they've never wavered to keep their food affordable and abundant. Their customer service is always on point, and I love how they provide jobs and opportunities for youth. Original Philly is more than just a restaurant, it is a part of our community and strengthens the bloodline in the black community with their influence to inspire more black families to come. Oh and did I mention the food is bomb!!!
