Phil’s Philly Grill

Okay so, I used to live in NE Philly before I came to Texas and let me tell you, this place is sooooooo much better. Yes, better than Pat’s and Geno’s in my opinion. Not only do they cut up the meat the same way the Pats and Genos, but you can order a cheesesteak with everything you want without the silly lingo.
It’s located in the mall’s food court, right on the left through the food court entrance. You can even get a side of tator tots!!! I ordered a pink lemonade, philly classic (cheesesteak with provolone, peppers, onions), and an order of tots.
Our food was done in less than 5 minutes. My boyfriend recognized the manager there, my bf has been going to this place for 15yrs and the manager used to be a cook who worked his way up.
The tator tots were nicely fried and delicious, steak meat was tender and the veggies were cooked amazingly.
My ONLY criticism is that they put waaay too much ice in my drink! I feel like I only got 2 sips out of my drink, I’ll ask for no ice next time. Other than that amazing, we will be back!!!

For mall food court this is a good place. You can not get that opinion from the samples that they peddle in front of their stand.
This is a great option for food that is not full of cheese grease or deep fried. The meat is cooked right there in front of you. And the cooks are friendly.
I got a side salad instead of fries and the salad was simple, the lettuce was fresh. There was more meat than veggies and the bread was not hard and dry (like the samples). They even have an All American that is meat and cheese only so for the carnivores, they do not have to have them hold the veggies.

The Philly cheesesteak sandwiches here are out of this world! they are a little pricey though. I recommend getting extra cheese on your sandwich. the owners have been here for years and are very nice. when they see me coming into the mall, they always say hi if I am eating there or not which I usually am!

Pricey! I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that a «large» order of french fries at $ 3.19 is given in a small hotdog concession-​stand type food tray. Itty bitty. Wasn’t what I was expecting for my shopping snack.
HOWEVER, the fries were super hot and fresh. They were frying and cooking everything fresh. It was great. I would definitely come back here! Just wish they were a little bit more generous with their side items!

This is a new place inside Willow Bend mall specialized on Philly cheese steak.
The chicken cheese steak comes with mayo, mushrooms, green peppers and provolone cheese. They prepared it fresh on the griddle in front of you while you watch.
It has a nice cheesy taste and the chicken is nice an juicy.
The cheese steaks come in a bunch of forms, including buffalo, regular beef cheese steak, etc. and they also carry burgers, wraps and a gyro.
As sides they have Philly fries, fries, tater tots and curly fries.
It’s a great addition to the food court, especially since cheese steak places are hard to come by here. We’ll be back.
