SQ Philip's Steaks — Restaurant in Philadelphia

So this is my first time ordering from Philip's Steaks. I usually go to TL or John's but figured I'd give this place a shot.

I tried to call my order in like I do Tony Lukes, but was told, "We don't do that.". So that kind of started my first experience at this place on the wrong foot.... Once I arrived I noticed the cash only signs...in this day and age they ought to take debit/credit cards. No wonder they don't take phone orders.

Order Experience: I drove over and ordered my American with onions on the side at the window. Paid $9.50 at that window, then went to order cheese fries and was told, "Oh, you need to order them at the other window.". Meanwhile there was no one behind me. The same kid that took my order at the one window ran down to the other window and took my fires order too. smh. I asked in jest if they were different operations and he explained it is for when they're super busy. Okay...I guess I get that, but they weren't busy. I paid at window #1 for the steak, and window #2 for the fries. I digress.

Presentation: The bagged steak wasn't wrapped very good and rolled off the counter as I was getting hot peppers. Lucky, when it hit the pavement, it didn't totally open up and I was able to salvage it from the ground. (my bad) I did ask for a container to put the hot peppers in and was given two sheets of wax paper to wrap the peppers in for the commute back to the office.

The fries were finally ready. They were on a disposable paper food tray that holds cheese fries, in the bottom of a white bag and covered with a couple more sheets of wax paper. A very messy ordeal and messy to extract once back at my desk, since the wax paper and whiz stuck to everything.

Taste: The fries were meh at best...I like them at Tony Luke's as well as Geno's. They were 1/2" cut fries, out of a frozen bag in a stiff cheese whiz. The deep fry oil didn't seem overly fresh and so my fries were on the darker side. The cheese steak I got was with American square cheese and a side of fried onions. I got a side of F.O. because they repeat on me. This way I could regulate them. The cheese steak was slab style meat like Geno's serves, they didn't bother chopping it up. The bread was kind of over baked and a little dark on the underside, not terrible but I did make a note of that. The sandwich was ok. Greasy AF, similar to Geno's.

I probably won't go back as it was nothing special, I can get a better cheese steak in New Jersey at a local pizzeria than what they...

My family and I are huge fans of this place,food is always the same unlike some where you go once its good go again and wished you hadn't...anyways I always went in person but yesterday I ordered with grubhub and the steaks came smaller than when I go myself almost like a mini still the same great taste and flavor jus size diff....I called to ask why the diff in size but not price jus so I'd know for future ref the young man knew exactly who I was and very polite with me while we spoke he took my name and number and said he will let his manager know and he will give a call back. I thanked him and said please do, most would say and not but within minutes his manager called and spoke with me , I'm sorry that I can't remember their names but I'm sure they know, the man was really nice professional and even asked if all was good other than size , for sure it was I said to him. He also said the next time I come to mention this and it would be on him, very nice of you and so appreciate your kindness and respect for business...many many kudos to you and your...
