Totally delicious. One of the few places in the city you'll find Tasty Kakes and Utz chips. Some of the best Phillys I've had in the Bay. Get that garlic mayo, you'll be very happy!

How is it that no one is talking about the "cheese stick" monstrosity?! It's a cheese log that is beer-battered and fried. They cover it in marina sauce and red pepper flakes. Get cheese sauce, too!

Try the Hoagie Cheesesteak - Spending the evening at Phat Philly so Seth can watch the Ohio State game has its perks... The Hoagie Cheesesteak is still my favorite.

Super delicious cheesesteaks that will transport you back to Philly for the whole 3 mins it takes to devour one. 👌

Try the Tastykake Butterscotch Crimpets - $3.50 for some Tastykakes?? Time to move back to Pennsylvania or choose another late night craving.

Whiz and beer cheese are great. Steak amount varies depending on cook's mood.

Always great food and service. The Original is what I always go with but got an Italian Beef tonight, not bad but I'll stick with the Philly in it's cheesy oozy goodness....Top Notch!!!

Phat Philly just got new chicken fingers. Instead of delicious whole meat, they're pressed and reconstituted crap. Don't buy them. :-(

The buffalo chicken w/ cheese whiz is a scrumtrulescent alternative to the original

They proudly serve all natural, 100% veggie fed, humanely raised Masami Ranch American Kobe Beef and 100% natural chicken breast!

the fries is great and the veggie sandwiches are all a good choice.
Mike MartinezFebruary 3, 2010
Stray away from the cheesy goodness at least once and get the Italian Beef (with hot peppers), but beware the ring of fire. My lips are still sensitive 30 min later.

Order any normal cheesesteak with cheddar beer sauce (which has Newcastle in it). It makes the "whiz" option seem bleak and remote. Reward yourself with a Newcastle on tap.

SF Eater says get a cheesesteak with Whiz.
