Philly Originals - Ambridge — Restaurant in Ambridge

I’m always glad to support a local establishment over a national chain, and this spot is certainly a welcome addition to the area. There’s plenty to like here, though a few areas could use some refinement.

First, be mindful of timing. If you’re dining with an impatient guest whether it’s a child, a parent, or someone on a short lunch break, I recommend calling ahead. The wait time was just a touch longer than expected.

As for the food, the cheesesteak delivered on flavor and portion. It was loaded generously and had a satisfying bite. That said, I’d love to see an option with a classic cheese wiz sauce in addition to the all-provolone approach. It would add a nostalgic and indulgent layer to an already solid sandwich.

The meatball sandwich, however, didn’t quite justify the $13 price point. With only three meatballs and a sauce that could use more seasoning, it felt a little underwhelming in comparison

Overall, this is a promising local spot with strong potential. A few tweaks to the menu offerings and value would really elevate...

Go to get food, person behind the counter doesn't speak. I ask for my food, get handed a bag. What about my side & drink. Not a word. Grabbed my stuff & left. Get back to work, wrong toppings. Maybe it'll get better but aggravating experience for...

My fiance and I tried this last night, I’ve had a lot of Philly cheesesteaks in Philly and this was just as good - if not better to the “famous” ones there. It was hot, yummy and filling!! When we placed our order it accidentally went to the beaver location - when my fiance went to pick it up we figured that out. However the crew here made us a fresh new order without charge and said the order in beaver will be used to feed the crew there! We appreciated it so much! We...
