Best staff ever, especially Meta who is so friendly all the time. The food is amazing, great portions and good prices. We usually get the Monster Meatball with provolone, it's delicious and feeds 3 people easily. They deliver too, and have a great beer selection. Orders are right every time.

Really friendly service, but I didn't enjoy the cheesesteak. The meat was good quality, but the cheese sauce tasted kind of burnt or something. Ever have really bad nacho cheese they usually serve at the movie theatre with your corn chips? It tasted like that. I love wiz so it wasn't the texture, just the taste. It ruined the sandwich. I ordered a side of onion rings, but they were really overdone and I only ate one of them. I'd like to come back to try their wings/pizza, but this first time around I was expecting better based on the glowing Yelp reviews...

Philly's is yet another example of a business in this plaza that has earned great reviews and staying power through the years. It also happens to serve an absolutely perfect-sized medium cheesesteak with no fanciness - it's cheesesteak the way god intended. The fries are also way better than should be expected from a strip mall eatery. You typically have to hit up a long-standing sports bar with a decent cook to get this type of flavor and consistency for the price. Plus there's a much better beer selection than you might expect. Each time I come here I think I know what I want, but I almost always end up changing my mind or buying more. The most impressive aspect of Philly's is that there are many other places to grab this type of food in the area, but they continue to come and go while Philly's has become a Carey Ave cornerstone. Totally a fan.

Yessss! Finally a philly cheesesteak done RIGHT!!! This place gets it! I travel for a living and know good food when I see it. I'll start with its in a strip mall but who cares! I got an original cheesesteak with wiz (yes... cheese wiz because that's how you do it!!!) for $7. Their is also a variety of beverages and even pizza if you want. I purchased the 2 for $5 24oz Corona (great price). after a short wait in what was seemingly a clean and comfortable table (the decor needs some updating). I was greeted with a massive cheesesteak to accompany my large 24oz Corona. I also ordered a chicken cheesesteak as well which looked equally good. Great service and even better food will keep me and my band come info back for more!!!

Great sub place even though the food is sometimes hit or miss. Some folks up front taking the orders take their own preferences into account and attempt to talk you out of getting certain toppings, to the point where they'll have open debate with you. Then once you get your food, you'll most likely notice toppings missing from whatever you've specified, -even- if you've told them to put everything on it. Consistency of the food is a bit awkward as well. Sometimes the cook makes things how you expect, then other times you can tell someone else is filling in for them since they usually throw things all over the place, or cut things up in places where they shouldn't and toss them in. One time I had ordered a cheeseburger sub and they gave me completely broken up ground beef. I have no clue what that was about, really. When they do get things right though, it's a hit right out of the park.

Best cheesesteak in Wilkes Barre. It's all about Amoroso's rolls! Closest thing to a real Philly steak in NEPA!

Always a big hit! They get it right and get it to you on-time. DELISH! Really friendly when ordering by phone. Highly recommend for Take Out or Deliver --not so great for dining in.

After feeling iffy about reviews me and my band mates decided to give Philly's Finest a shot. I expected a mediocre sandwhich and ok service at best based on what I read......wow was I wrong....this was my experience....... Upon entry the decor will not give you an "eye-gazm" and you may feel like your at a beer package store rather than a food joint....then you smell the amazing aroma coming from the back. The staff was prompt to greet and shared some casual jokes while we read the menu. I ordered a traditional cheese steak with whiz, onions and green peppers....my bandmate ordered the chicken cheese steak with american cheese and sweet and hot peppers. Then we saw a two for one deal on a few different choice brews and asked if we could get the same deal with the beer we wanted and the manager quickly replied yes. I was already sold. Next the food came out.....what a treat for my pallet! !! The first bite of my steak had a perfect blend of whiz, steak, onions, peppers and bread!!! All flavors were dank and I was able to seperate them in the one bite. Next came the bite with no whiz....still a tasty sandwhich! The meat was juicy, the veggies were cooked yet crunchy not soggy, the whiz wasn't overbearing and bread was a prefect blend of chewy yet soft! Before we could set our sandwhiches down from the first couple bites the nice server brought us a fresh order of fries on the house just to be nice. Fries were hot, but just standard fries. Next came my first bite if the "Chicken Philly"!!!! Being I am such a fan of the traditional philly and have never tried the poultry version so I had no expectations. It was good. If you're a chicken person it would probably rank high on a food goodness scale but it just didn't do it for me. So I ate that half before devouring the rest of my sandwhich. I realky wanna give this joint 5 stars.....but being this is my first review I want to be real. If they stepped up thier decor game to match the quality level of the food and staff that might have happened. Don't let the decor stop you though.....if you are looking for a delicious traditional Philly in the Plains Pa area "Philly's Finest" should be your destinstion!!!!! Do yourself a favor....heed thier warning about the temperature of the food when it comes out.....I didn't and definitely burned my mouth but it was so tasty I just endured the heat and literally inhaled my food!!!

Definitely not worth the time. Pizza taste like chuckie cheese microwave and they sell beer. The seating area was dirty and gross. The waitress was nice but not trained.

One of my favorite places. Their Philly cheese steak sandwich is great. More importantly they have a big and a monster size. I' ll leave it up to you to figure out which one i order..... They lady there once didn't believe i'd eat it all myself. When she came back she was mouth open and laughed. Maybe it was what my wife said. "you know it's all about proving you wrong now right". Maybe. Just maybe it was.

I went to school at Wilkes U. and I would get these cheese steaks all the time. After graduating, every year for the past ten years i made it a point to travel the 4 hour trip back to Wilkes-barre just for these steaks. In fact, I buy at least four cheese steaks to take home to my colleagues so that hey can know the joy that is Phillies Phinest! Highly recommended with extra cheese for travel!

The best cheese steaks in Wilkes-Barre, PA, hands down. They give you great portions at great prices. Good selection of micro brew beers, locally brewed Lion's Head beer, and a nice assortment of chips and stuff. Fast, friendly service.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
