I ordered a classic Philly cheesesteak topped with cheese whiz and sautéed peppers, while my husband opted for a cheesesteak with onions, peppers, provolone, and mayo, accompanied by a side of fried mushrooms. Everything we tried was delicious, and the service was exceptional. I was dealing with a cough, and the owner even brought me an extra cup of water. We highly recommend this spot and plan to bring our friends and family here too!

During my visit to Philadelphia for cheesesteaks, I found that Willy's Philly's is far superior, offering genuine customer service that’s hard to come by. The prices are reasonable, and the service is quick. Highly recommended!

She ordered the chicken teriyaki steak sub with fries and enjoyed every aspect, from the sauce to the cheese. I went for a pastrami sandwich on a bulkie roll, topped with onions, black olives, and American cheese, as well as a classic cheesesteak. Everything was perfectly made and cooked to order, and we don’t mind waiting because we appreciate that it’s all fresh. This place is truly a hidden gem! Also, be sure to try the Jalapeño Poppers with cucumber wasabi sauce—they're amazing! And don’t miss out on any steak sub; dip it in the cucumber wasabi sauce—you can thank me later!

I mentioned Wendy's and found one out in Maynard. My husband checked Yelp for Maynard and Willy's sounded like a much more fun plan. We made the 40 minute drive and easily found parking out front. Cheese steaks are 2 sizes although the large is only a dollar more. It doesn't matter which additions you add to the basic cheese steak, all are the same price. This really simplified the ordering process. It was about 1:00 and it was still pretty busy. The one super nice man behind the counter took our order and it took around 15 minutes until we got our sandwiches. We didn't mind because he was so pleasant and the place was cute. The cheese steaks were probably the best ones we have had outside of Philadelphia. The roll was light and didn't overwhelm the meat. My husband was excited to see cheese whiz as a choice and I got the provolone. I also got mushrooms which SO delicious that I wished there had been a few more. Next time I'll ask for extra mushrooms! As an aside, I saw that he has a Pearl Black Pastrami sandwich on the menu. I didn't try it but that is probably the best pastrami in the area and tastes like the NYC deli pastrami. I'm coming back but it is going to be hard choosing between the cheese steak and the pastrami sandwich.

Very much what the heart of any downtown needs a good non chain sub shop with owners who are hands on, community focused, and friendly.

I visited the restaurant for the first time yesterday, and it was really great! I will definitely be going back again whenever I'm in the area. read more I visited the restaurant for the first time yesterday, and it was really great! I will definitely be going back again whenever I'm in the area.
