Originated in Philly and now spread like wildfire across our culinary landscape, the Philly cheesesteak is an American food icon. Simple, hearty, and delicious, this beloved sandwich is heaven between two buns if you do it right. We think these Tampa restaurants definitely serve up some of the best cheesesteaks and deli sandwiches in Tampa!
Philly Phlava
Your cheesesteaks better be good if you're putting Philly right in your restaurant's name. This place is wall-to-wall Philly serving not just cheesesteaks, but other favorites of this region as well like Tasteycakes, Center City Pretzels, Hank's Soda, and more. Their cheesesteaks are made with fresh, Amaroso rolls just like the places in Philadelphia use, and packed with loads of steak, onions, and more.
Chubby's
Open since 1982, Chubby's is a convenient, little eatery serving pizza, subs, and cheesesteaks for the masses right off Bayshore drive. They use grande mozzarella on their pizzas, produce is bought from the local market, and bread for those delectable cheesesteaks is baked fresh and delivered daily. Try any one of their eight varieties of the Philly and be wowed.
