Most Disliked
As with any restaurant, there are occasional hiccups, and some patrons note that during peak hours, wait times can stretch a bit, especially for wings which take about 20 minutes to cook after ordering.
Although most menu items are well-received, a few guests mentioned that they would appreciate a wider variety of vegetarian options, as the current offerings may not satisfy all dietary preferences.
The counter service might not cater to those looking for a more sit-down restaurant atmosphere, as there are limited seating options inside. However, the outdoor area usually compensates for it.
Some diners have wished for more options in the dessert category, feeling it could be expanded to include more enticing choices beyond the current menu.

I highly recommend Philly 40 in Port Richey, Florida. The staff is fantastic, and owner Nico is deeply involved in our community. Their Philly cheesesteaks are amazing, with soft bread, big flavors, and made to order. My personal favorite is the Buffalo Chicken Philly—it hits all the right buttons! Can’t wait to check out their Friday Jams!

These guys are amazing. They always have great customer service. The serving sizes are huge and the food is out of this world. Best cheese fries and cheese steaks in town! We've had problems with grub hub delivery in the past and they made sure our food got to us and went above and beyond. You will not be disappointed!

Best Philly I’ve ever had. Had the Philly 40 twice just this week. Every time food is delicious. Everything from the ingredients to the service to the owner. All top tier. If you haven’t been yet you are missing out. I’ll be back again.

Wow, amazing food. Coming from a bigger guy from New England, best around! Love the idea of paying forward a meal to those who can’t afford one as well. I will definitely be back soon! Picture is a Philly wit wiz (get extra napkins, lol)

Philly steak sandwiches, burgers and many other items to choose from.. We just had 2 of the Buffalo Phillys and the Philly 40. Amazing taste. Fresh, fast service and large servings. Was so good I forgot to take a photos of the food. Make sure to stop in and check them out.

Small intimate place! The best Philly I have ever had! Seating outside with large flat screen! A must try!

Very good sandwich. Plenty of meat and cheese, something that many other places have cut. Was hot and fresh, meat was tender. Nice roll. Fries were golden and hot.
