Stopped by Philly's Cheesesteaks in Norwich the other day. Recommended by the Travel Channel and many other outlets, Philly's is acknowledged as the best cheesesteak east of the Hudson River.
I can say that it probably is. The place itself is charming and the owners are delightful.
The steak is the best part of these sandwiches - super tender and delicious. The cheez whiz is solid, but I liked the one on the right, which had both cheez whiz and regular cheese. The other elements were all excellent. The only part where they fall short of the great cheesesteaks of Philadelphia is the roll. They need to import a firmer, more toastable roll. If they had that...well, I think they might be BETTER than the cheesesteaks I've had back in my original home state.
One more note. We had the barbecue chicken fries (see below) and they were fantastic. The reason was that the chicken pieces you can see there were absolutely tender and melt in your mouth good. They care about the quality of the meat at Philly's, and it shows. Keep up the good work, guys!

I have to say I love a good cheese steak sandwich...but I've never developed a taste for that cheese whiz! Glad that they have an option that lets you have the real thing!
Yes, and they contacted me about the roll. They do import them from South Street, Philadelphia, and if you want it more toasted, just ask!
Really appreciate the brotherly love!!! Thanx for taking the time to come check us out!! Hope to see you soon guys
