Philly’s Cafe & Deli is a sandwich shop at 55 New Orleans Road, Suite 102, built around one idea: a proper Philly cheesesteak on the island. The hoagies, cheesesteaks and other sandwiches are made to order on bread baked in-house each day, and it is open for lunch only.

What to Order at Philly’s Cafe & Deli

The original Philly cheesesteak hoagie is what most people come for, with tender chopped steak and onions on a soft roll, and reviewers call the portions large. Fries, tater tots, onion rings and fried cheese curds are the sides people mention, and the cheese curds get the strongest recommendation. The menu also has chicken hoagies, cold subs, pitas and salads, and there are kids’ meals. One reviewer noted a loaded cheesesteak costs about $17, which is in line with the size.

Dining In or Taking It to Go

Philly’s does not take reservations. Order at the counter and sit inside or take it to the beach, or order online for carryout or delivery. Reviewers also describe a small tiki bar on the premises, with a tiki twist on an Aperol spritz. Dine-in hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and the shop is closed on Sunday.
