Just got back from "Direct from Philly" and had to immediately write my review. This was my first visit to this great Philly steak sandwich shop. They sell other menu items, but after I downed my two steak sandwiches and a large fountain soda with two refills, I just had no room to try anything else.\r
\r
I grew up in Philadelphia and have eaten at every known and unknown steak and sub shop in a hundred mile radius of Philly. I have lived in South Florida since 1974, and have search out steak and sub shops since I have moved here from Philadelphia. I am so very happy I found "Direct from Philly".\r

They serve their steak sandwiches with a great roll, the most important part. They then over-overstuff their steak sandwich with real tasty shaved steak. Then they add the cheese and other trimmings. They have every type on cheese including Provolone, American, Swiss, and even Cheese Wiz. Then you add the trimmings like grilled onions, real sautéed mushrooms (not canned), sweet peppers, crushed hot peppers, and cherry peppers. They have even more trimmings, but I did not have the opportunity to try them all.\r
\r
The surroundings are simple, but that is what I expect from a great steak sandwich shop. The prices are cheap, but the ingredients are real quality and the portions are big- a great value.\r
\r
I was dieting for the last six weeks and lost 15 pounds. This meal at "Direct from Philly" is my first eating binge in those six weeks. It was worth it.\r
\r
After I woofed down my two steak sandwiches, I had them make me two more to go for the wife and kids.\r
\r
I highly recommend "Direct from Philly".
