What diners say — our read

There is no middle ground in these 20 reviews. Where serving size comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength.

Of the 20 rated reviews, 17 sit at four stars or better and 3 at two or below. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (17 of 20). No one in this corpus comments on the state of the room at all.

On the health side, the most recent DBPR inspection returned a C (76/100) with 2 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 5 basic violations — middling, much like the reviews. The visit behind that grade was February 11, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 14% of the restaurants we score. For specifics, the last inspection cited food from approved source and nonfood-contact surfaces clean.

The honest summary is that the evidence is mixed on both sides. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    Cheesesteak was well made, fresh, and everything I have been craving as a fat man from PA! Shout out to the guy who complimented my Sub-Zero tattoo. The only pending fatality is coming from how many cheesesteaks I’m going to eat at this place! Lol.

    Good

    Best cheese steak sub in Florida

  • June 18, 2026

    The Italian hogie and the cheese streak sandwich are so delicious. Fast service and friendly. Recommend 100%.

  • June 13, 2026

  • June 10, 2026

    Best sandwiches in town. They are super nice and so accommodating. Will keep coming back!

  • June 6, 2026

    Over $20 for a sub fries and a drink. And I know everything is expensive, but that’s hardly “lunch special”. But the big problem is my stomach has been horrible for over 24 hrs since eating it. Real bad stomach pains and everything that comes with that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    The best, most authentic Philly cheese steak you can get outside of Philly! You really can't go wrong with any of their subs!!! Simply the best Orlando has to offer!!!

  • May 30, 2026

    Favorite sub shop

  • May 17, 2026

    Delicious, fresh sandwich! Huge portions.

    I tried to give this place a shot today. I showed up at 10:30am not realizing they do not open till 11am. Around 10:57, 10:58, and 10:59 customers were going in and being turned away. I guess they are strict on hours of operation. I walked up and it was 11:03 and door still locked. 😢 I guess hours posted on door are just a suggestion. Things happen for a reason. I didn’t need a hoagie anyways

    The food is exquisite. The best subs in Sanford Fl

  • May 6, 2026

    Love their Italian subs!

  • May 5, 2026

    Best meatball sub around. To be honest all the food is good here!

  • May 3, 2026

    Staff is friendly and inviting! Food is amazing

    This place is unbelievably good. I used to work sort of close and happened to be getting car work done near here and asked the Mechanic if the place was any good. He gave such a glowing review that I decided to try it out. I tried the cheese steak which you can do completely authentic with the cheese wiz, or with regular cheese. The sub has a mountain of meat and is a belly buster. I have never been to Philly but I love cheese steak subs and it was the best. I decided on my next visit to try one of the hoagies. I used to go to place growing up that had real hoagies and I was eager to stack this one up. It was much better of course. Although I really enjoyed the cheesesteak I have not been able to switch back off the hoagies. I am not on this side of town, but if I am, I try and add this stop to my schedule. They have other locations. I have gone a few and they are not the same. This place is a destination.

    Glad we got to try these sandwiches. Came in at 4:30 pm right before they closed. I got beef cheesesteak for my husband and chicken cheesesteak for me as take out for dinner. The larger size is enough for two meals. My husband eats a lot and he couldn't even finish it. Meat is perfectly flavored and seasoned. He said it's as good as a cheesesteak in Philly. We will definitely return.

    Whoever prepared my Uber today did it with LOVE. This was the best Philly cheesesteak I’ve had in a while. Thank you for your attention to the additional details I included on the order as well. It was perfect. I will be ordering again SOON!

  • April 26, 2026

    Ingredients not fully disclosed. Ordered for a work lunch and while the other sandwiches had all the vegetables and ingredients listed, the cheese sandwich only listed cheese. It got delivered with vegetables including pickles, to which, disgusting. Who eats a cheese sandwich with pickles? Now I have 7h left at work with my lunch that tastes like pickles. :((((

    Awesome Philly cheesesteak! Go there for lunch with a coworker sometimes. Staff is always friendly and the food is great!
