Philadelphia Kitchen

Best Steak Philly steak sandwich in Ontario. We are addicted to them!! Will keep coming back. Their poutine is the best.

Once again, a place so good I forgot to take photos of the full dish before devouring it. I have been coming here for over 10 years now and the quality remains the same as it has been since I first got hooked. The prices are extremely reasonable and the sandwiches are incredible. Having only just recently been to Philly to have a real cheesesteak, I can honestly say I prefer Philadelphia Kitchen cheesesteaks over ones from Philly. The BREAD makes a massive massive difference. Fries are stellar as well and the service is excellent. Absolutely a hidden gem in orangeville.

Hard to decide what to get with their extensive options. Decided to split a traditional Philly cheese steak with wiz and a hot and sweet. Fries and onion rings. Two of us shared everything and it was all amazing!! I forgot about Philadelphia kitchen!! Doh. We be going more often. Oh and the young guy that took our order was a really good guy!!

Awesome place, terrific food!

I’m disappointed this place doesn’t have 5 stars. Food is always delicious with generous portions. My family and I have been coming here for years and always look forward to a meal at Philadelphia Kitchen!!!

A lot of places claim to make authentic Philly cheesesteaks. Those claims, more often than not, are hot air. This place however, this place has it right. Thinly sliced steak with the perfect amount of cheese, grilled peppers and onions, placed into a perfectly baked, just slightly chewy roll combines to make an authentic Philly cheesesteak that makes me feel like I'm in Philly. This place is the real deal! The staff are super friendly, the restaurant is clean and seating is always available somewhere. Chatting with the staff when we were in last, my husband commented to them that this is the only place I'll get cheesesteaks from now because it's the only place that doesn't ever disappoint me. They laughed and let slip that Joe is from Philly, he's just making them the only way he's ever known. Ya know what? Joe knows how to make a good cheesesteak, so it makes sense he's from Philly. If you want an excellent, authentic all the way down to the bread they use Philly cheesesteak, go see Joe cuz Joe knows!

We have been eating at Philadelphia Kitchen for years. There cheesesteak sandwiches are so hearty and delicious! Don't no anywhere else that makes them this good!! They are cooked as you wait and served on fresh daily buns. Be sure to order the fries as well, as they are some of the best we have had!

Fantastic cheesesteak sandwiches and very nice people!!

We needed to hit Orangeville to buy some haggis, so I figured we should try to pop in somewhere for lunch while we're there. I did a quick search to see if John Catucci had been to the area with either of his shows, and it turned out Philadelphia Kitchen was featured on You Gotta Eat Here. Decision made! We decided to try a couple of their cheesesteaks, one with wiz and one with mozzarella. After a wait of about 15 minutes, both sandwiches were brought to our table. My first impression was that hey, this doesn't look like a traditional cheesesteak. The wiz one especially only seemed to contain a small line of cheese whiz, which, if you've ever had an authentic cheesesteak, you know is absolutely incorrect. Anyway, even though I wouldn't call either of these sandwiches cheesesteaks in the traditional sense, they turned out to be tasty meat sandwiches regardless. The meat is cooked very well, and the fresh bread provides a nice crunch. Do I wish I'd been served an actual cheesesteak? Yes, definitely. But I did enjoy this for what it was, which is a well-made steak sandwich.

Got the unnamed special (on a small chalkboard with various menu items): a bun with onion, BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeño & steak. The bread was crusty & the sandwich had some kick. The BBQ sauce was good. There was a lot of meat though it was cut so finely that it approached ground beef in texture. It was hard to pick out the bacon & the cheese was uneven along the bread. Cherry peppers are the spiciest of their 3 types of hot peppers.

You call yourself Philadelphia Kitchen but call that a Cheese Steak?! Good start the bread was Crisp and fresh. BUT the filling left a lot to be desired. My partner's Phily Cheese steak was cut so much it was I almost thought it was hamburger. It was also obviously was not fresh off tasting, we could barely find the cheese, On a freaking Cheese Steak! come on! My veal was passible, the sauce was decent. but it too was over processed probably to cover a cheap cut of meat. We won't be going back!

Hands down, best cheese steak...my fav is the mushroom with onions. Service is wonderful, these people care about quality food and customers.

The place feels old but in a good traditional fashion. Seems owners work themselves. The lady on the counter explained all the menu options and was very welcoming. Ordered a steak sandwich.

Our first time here. I am shocked this place was on You Gotta Eat Here. I was very excited to try this place out dispit the mixed reviews. What an absolute disappointment. The only reason for the second star was the freindly customer service. As for the food. We all had the meatball sub and every single one fot them was cold and the sauce was bland. For the price, I expected way better. I will not go back.

A friend brought me here telling me it would be the best ever Philly sandwiches. So I had high hopes for this place as he loves food as much as me. The food was really good but I wasn't blown away by the Philly steak sandwich. I like my meat to be seasoned and it was bland. The cheese and onions helped but it lacked something. I added mayo and it helped. Just wish they had even added salt/pepper to the meat. My sandwich also came with mushroom which could have been seasoned as well. I was surprised that I was blown away by the meatball sandwich! Being married to an Italian the one thing you learn is a good meatball and they nailed it. The tomato sauce was just the right amount of acidity and texture. Nice and thick not runny. I highly recommend trying it. The fries are great. Fresh cut and thick. Prefect fit for pairing with the meal. The gravy I wasn't to thrilled about but it's not bad. All in all this is a place I would recommend and I will definitely be coming back. Xoxo happy eats.

First time stopping here and it was delicious. We ordered the Stallion, and the Canadian and we both really enjoyed them. The Loaded Fries were very good as the grilled onions added a nice flavor. Consider adding a side of gravy or other sauce (like au jus) as the sandwich bread has that chewy, but perfect for a sandwich thing going on. We will br back to try some of the other sandwiches.

Nice sandwich shop with a kind of a retro vibe. As the name suggests they specialize in Philly cheese steaks which are quite good. Recently stopped in for a bite on my way through town and thought I'd try something different, decided to try the chicken parm sandwich and some onion rings, wasn't at all impressed. The chicken on the sandwich was dry and the sauce bland. The onion rings tasted a bit rancid like the fryer oil hadn't been changed in quite a while. Will stick to the Philly steak.

My family love Philly Kitchen. Hubby & kids go for traditional Cheese Steak sandwich, I prefer the grilled veggie delight sandwich. The fresh buns are one of the key ingredients added to food cooked with pride.

Ordered 3x sandwiches... All 3 were wrong, stuffed full of green peppers and oil. Dumped into garbage and called them to find out she knew it was wrong, but sold it anyways. Good luck

These fries are absolutely delicious, best fries I've ever had and I hardly eat potatoes because they're not my favourite. The steak is moist and the flavour is delicious. The buns they use have a soft interior and a crusty exterior. Excellent choice for their sandwich. 4 stars because I think the price is a bit steep for the portion you get.

I love those kind of places! Small and very friendly, the food is really good! Like a hidden gem in a small town, worth to stop to try one of the philly cheese steak sandwiches, there's a long list for all tastes! The fries are really good (and I'm from Belgium, so trust me!)

In Otown for a couple days so stopped and grabbed a sandwich to take home for my friend Mary Jane and I. Like many I had heard about Philly Kitchen on "You Gotta Eat Here" Just Wow! The moment you step in the door the smell hits you and you know you have made the right choice. Grabbed the Canadian Cheese steak sandwich and fries. Got home settled and dove into my first bite. At which point I stopped and said "Holy S $%t that's good!" This sandwich lived up to every expectation I had. There was just so much flavour. Stop what are doing and go eat here!

I thought this place was, as per Yelp's 3* rating, A-OK. Cheesesteak sandwiches are ~$9 sans drinks. They have old school Coca-Cola bottled drinks for $2.25 and I think that was pretty cool, a shoutout to a simpler time! I ordered the Mushroom Cheesesteak which, in addition to the sauteed onions, came with mushrooms. Thought it was pretty tasty, but I was barely able to taste the cheese - maybe because I didn't see any. I think it was mixed in during the cooking process. Sandwich came on a nice artesanal oblong shaped bun which had a nice crunch/chew to it, so I thought that was a nice touch. Client that I went with said that it tasted like Quiznos, so...you get my drift. Nothing super mind blowing.

I didn't have the best review for this place the first time. I figured I order the philly-cheesesteak and wasn't overall crazy impressed so I decided to venture a little bit away from they norm. I ordered a veal sandwich with cheese and mushrooms. Wow... this was REALLY good. The veal is super tender, the bread is still amazingly crunchy and soft on the inside, but what really got me was the sauce. Their tomato sauce is just amazing. The tomato sauce has some serious flavour to it. You can taste an amazing balance of oregano and parmesan cheese. I really thought this was one of the best veal sandwiches I've had. I'm probably going to start ordering the whole menu just to see what the rest of it is like, but trust me in saying that I really thought their veal sandwich was top knotch.

Here is probably the best way to describe Philadelphia Kitchen. I visited this place after seeing it on the Food Network. It's technically hard to find a great Philly Cheesesteak. So I'm excited I made my trip here. Service: 5/5 - A very family feel. The cashier and the chef was very interactive and it felt like they appreciated your business. The service was quick and easy. The menu is focused, exactly what restaurant should be. Quality of Food: 5/5 - The quality of food is amazing. I'm very happy I had the opportunity to visit this Restruant. In comparison to Philly Steaks from Philadelphia it's a close match. Also no need to add extra seasoning, it's well prepared and taste amazing. Temperature of Food: 5/5 - Made fresh to order. So no questions about the temperature. Value of Meals: 4/5 - The prices are ok. It's a bit on the pricy side but for the amount you get... It's pretty good. You can't expect the same prices of food in the US, but the quantity of food was good. Atmosphere: Family oriented. There are tables so you can dine in. Simple decor which makes this restaurant a recommended place. Would I Return: Yes Time of Meal: Lunch

First time trying this place tonight. Service was quick, Friday around 6:00pm, not many customers. I decided to try the original with chicken, onion and cheese to go. Smelled really good thru the bag on the way home, I expected great things. The flavor on the other hand, was pretty much non existent. All I could taste was bread. The chicken had zero flavour, I could barely taste the onions, and cheese was invisible. There was no sauce. I had to add my own mayo and hot sauce to give it some kinda taste! I was very disappointed. The best thing about the sandwich was the bread, it was very delicious and fresh, highlight of the meal. Would I go back? No....

Tender, juicy, perfectly seasoned and cooked steak with cheese and onions on a warm crunchy bread = happiness. Expect a small wait time for your order, totally acceptable because everything is made to order.

Was very excited to sink my teeth into this homemade meatball sandwich and was slightly disappointed when I did. The marinara sauce was very bland but worst of all, the Sandwich was cold. I figured the meatballs would have been simmering in the marinara sauce as homemade meatballs should b but that was not the case. It was so cold that the cheese did not melt properly and the temperature ruined the experience for me. The bun was very fresh with a beautiful crusty outside which was the highlight of my dining experience.

Disappointed in the cheesesteak sandwich considering the ratings this restaurant gets. I was really looking forward to what I hoped would be a cheesy, steaky, flavor-filled sandwich. The bun was nice, but that's about the only positive. The meat was ground beef-esque, pale, and VERY bland. Even my 7-year old found the sandwich too bland and he didn't finish his portion as a result. The high point was the fries, which were crispy and well salted.

This is our favorite take out in Orangeville. The best Philly Sandwiches around. We have become regulars.

The best fries I've pretty much ever had. Everything else is pretty much just okay. But I'd definitely stop by to check out the fries (as long as they're warm because sometimes they aren't...)

Customer service was good and that is the only reason for the star. Food was a big disapointment! We got the veal sandwich which was cold and flavorless. Never again id rather make a sandwich my self!

Had the original Philly cheesesteak, it was good but really bland. Bread was fresh and crispy tho!

Hooters makes a better philly cheese steak than this place. I've given this place so many chances and I'm always left with a "less then thrilled" impression. I live in Vancouver however I come to Orangeville once a year to see family and friends. Each visit home I make it a point to see if Philly Kitchen has improved If your eating here due to the "you gotta eat here" recommendation it's worth while to note that the "Philly Kitchen" in Orangeville episode was filmed before the "American Cheesesteak" (Vancouver) episode...if that had have been reversed...."philly" would've never been filmed. You should really watch both episodes and compare...and if you ever find yourself in Vancity I highly encourage you to try them, To this day I eat there a few times a month :). (I loves me a Philly cheesesteak) My top reasons for a generous 2 Stars (1 star for polite service, 1 star for feeding me without making my stomach upset) 1. The meat is flavourless...definition of bland. Yes theirs salt n pepper on it but come on...I'm not paying for s n p 2. The cheese is pretty close to non existent, and also pretty bland as well. It's really sad when your eating a philly CHEESEsteak and have to go looking for the cheese. It's even sadder when cheese whiz has the most flavoured option. 3. The portions are just ridiculous. It's 80% bread (yes, I'll admit it's good bread but I don't want to taste just bread!) 10% flavourless meat, 5% cheese and then some onions.....not what I'd call a true philly. For some reason you guys stay open so their has to be something your doing right. I've heard generally positive reviews about your "veal sandwich" so kudos. However when I read "Philadelphia Kitchen" on a sign and the signature dish is a "cheesesteak"....I expect much more.

Best Cheesesteak outside of Philly. I tried the Canadian and it didn't disappoint. My wife had the Stallion and loved it. Come very hungry. You Gotta Eat here filmed here previously.

Great Fries and Sandwich! Stopped on our way through the city. I had the Deli Sandwich with Pickles. Cooked hot and fresh. Fantastic bread the way a sandwich should be. I would have rated higher, but it was extremely busy and I would not wait 40 Mins for 3 Sandwiches again. Nice atmosphere good stools and benches to sit. Clean bathrooms. Food was worth the wait and staff was friendly. In a hurry if theirs a line I wouldn't wait that long again. Nice place will certainly be back!

One of my favourite places in town! Best bread and cheese wiz fries are life changing! I love the philly cheese steak with mushrooms and veal sandwich! Yum :)

Been going here for about a year now and I have yet to be disappointed. Cheesesteak is excellent fries are to die for. Highly recommend for quick fast and tasty meal

Love this place. Have tried many of their sandwiches and fries and quite enjoy them. Even my girlfriend enjoys their veggie sandwiches. I hear they have quite the lunch crowd, but otherwise can have tough hours - closed after 7 and on Sundays.

Great philly cheese steak sandwich. Guys are very friendly. Onion rings were a hot as well, poutine was average but gravy was good.

I seen this place on you gotta eat here. I ordered the Canadian, and onion rings. Not impressed. Nothing stands out like I gotta eat there.

Talk the hubby into anniversary lunch instead of dinner out also a new shower install and flooring saw this place on You Gotta Here had to check it out since its only 20 mins from home! Got there early with only 6 others in the place ordered a Buffalo Steak Sandwich hubby the namesake Philly Cheese order of fries and 2 neat pops AWESOME tender beef great spice not too tough on the ciabatta bun fries done just right...great couple that own and run this hard to find spot but after 12:30 on a Sat the line up was out the door. We will definitely come back to sample up more of Joe's Philly Sandwiches and maybe renovate another part of the house lol!!! Oh and the prices are just in line with Quiznos but better..........

Been coming here for years. Fresh, delicious food and friendly fast service. Anytime of day food. We even catered food for an event we had and it was off the charts amazing.

AMAZING!!!!! Need I say more. Every sandwich I have had here has been good. Staff is friendly and place is clean.

I absolutely loveeee cheese steak sandwiches but we all know how hard it is to find a place that makes really good cheese steak sandwiches. Look no further this place was AMAZING. Although its a little far from where I live I do have to say its worth the commute. When I arrived it was full with people waiting to pick up their orders and after placing our there was another group of people after us. There is definitely high volume here so please make sure you have the time. Well worth the wait. The sandwich served on an Italian bun was made to perfection. The bun toasted perfectly to give that crunch with every bite. The sandwich was packed in with meat and toppings they were definitely not stingy on the meat or anything on the sandwich for that matter. The meat was super tender and tasty. Not tough at all. The only small complaint that I have was the portion of the poutine was a little stingy but not even worth taking any points away from this review. The menu have many options of different cheese steak sandwiches and also Italian sandwiches. I will definitely be returning to try different items on the menu.

I love the great food and people. Definitely worth 5 stars. Prices were good and portion size too!

Looking for a Philly Cheesesteak? There only one place to go! Philadelphia Kitchen has a truely authentic sandwich, my favorite had onions and green peppers. French fries with chili is meal in itself, AWSOME to share. If your near Orangeville, a must stop!!

Yes they are right. Yummy. Taste is perfect. Worth the drive. The place is clean cool look in the store. A bit small but worth the money and would come here again. The town is worth walking around in too. Gives that small town feel

Great food. Reasonably priced. Staff super friendly. Cheryl and I tried a couple of sandwiches, the original and the mushroom. Both were delicious. We split Fries and rings, huge servings. We'll be back for sure. Totally worth the trip.

You can get anything you want fried up and served on a bun. Lots of options, even for their fries. Also very reasonable prices

Great cheesesteak sandwiches. I only ever get the classic cheesesteak. The beef has good flavor and the buns it is served in are even better. I probably should try some other menu items, but I don't get to Orangeville often, so I feel like going with a winner. I have two issues. First is the cost. $14+ for sandwich, fries and chocolate milk. I'm glad only get to Orangeville once in a while. The seating is a little uncomfortable too. It's mostly just wooden boxes with some padding.

Ate lunch here today, for the first, and last, time. My initial observation is that it should not take 25 minutes to get two take out sandwiches and an order of fries when there are about 15 people in the joint, and most of them are already eating. Second point: My wife quite liked her Buffalo steak sandwich, so maybe I just got unlucky. Anatomy of my "veal sandwich with cheese and fried onions": Bread: 70% Onions: 15% "Veal" 10% [of which 80% was soggy breading] Honestly, the entire cutlet was about the size of my index and middle fingers put together. It was also frozen and I believe it was just heated up on the flat top, so it was not crispy in any way, shape, or form. "Cheese": 5%. There was something white and a bit melted in the corner of the bun...I can only hope it was, in fact, cheese. I'm guessing the total cost of this abomination was $1.50. maybe $1.75. I wish I had my phone with me to illustrate my points, but I left it down Broadway, about a 20 minute walk away. If I were a more confrontational person I would have gone back and demanded a refund, but that's not my style. All in all, this was the worst "culinary experience" I have had since university residence dinners in the 1970s. "You don't gotta eat here!"

First time here and I have to say this small sandwich place has exceeded my expectations. I had the Italian sloppy Joe as suggested by the cashier and it was fantastic. Tons of meat, cheese, and peppers made this the sloppiest of joes. I also got a side of old style fries with the skin on that were incredible. The prices were fair and the decor was rustic Italian. Overall a great place and I can't wait to go again to try something new.

Was passing through town and Yelp recommended this place. Walked in and was greeted by very friendly staff. The menu was huge and all sounded delicious. I tried the classic Philly cheese steak and it was by far the best I have ever had. Everything was so tasty. The bun was amazing and the fries were too. I hope one day I'll be passing through Orangeville again just so I can eat here again.

I wasn't impressed with my pulled pork but my very picky children devoured their meatball sliders and fries. The cook was also nice enough to substitute meatballs for chicken on one of the kids meals at no extra.charge. The fries were delicious as well. I would definitely return to try their meatballs and other choices.

Nice staff and good food. Unfortunately success is hurting them. As they are busy tried to call 3 times and got vmail each time to pre order.. Stopped in and placed order at 11:55 and left with order of fries and philly sandwich at 12:30. Brutally slow service...maybe hire some staff or get a bigger location?????? Bring a book to read for walk in orders.

Best Philly sandwich I've tried... Great atmosphere and just incredible food... I suggest you order everything..
