I was temporarily living in Houston, Texas for over a year, so I was a surprised when I moved back home to Kissimmee and drove passed a new sign stating, "South Philly Cheesesteak"! If you've ever been to Philly, you know that on your list of "must do's" is eat at both Pat's King of Steaks and Geno's Steaks (across the road from each other and a huge rivalry). My question upon entering this restaurant was, "Are they true Philly Cheesteaks? Wiz or no Wiz?" The music to my ears was, "Of course Wiz!" FINALLY! A place that knew how to make true Philly Cheesesteaks! So many places that state they are selling "Philly Cheesesteaks" only offer Provolone cheese or Mozzarella cheese on the sandwiches and then notify you that they've never even been to Philly to know what Cheese Wiz is. Pitiful!
However, this place is the way to go when you are craving that true Philly Cheesesteak! Yes, they still offer Provolone and Mozzarella, but to me... Wiz, extra Wiz for sure! An ice cold Dr Pepper, a Philly Cheesesteak with Wiz and double grilled onions, and a side of cheese fries, and I could imagine being in Philly. They pile on the perfectly seasoned steak and cheese, the Amoroso's bread so fresh. The fries are cooked to order - everything is made to order.
The owners, Ira and Cathy are so very welcoming and funny; and love to have conversations with their "guests". The restaurant, simply decorated, but functional (pictures of Philly on the walls). Sadly, with the Coronavirus going on, their startup is slow. So, if you are looking for a good, quick meal... Don't hesitate to stop and try South Philly Cheesesteak on 192, just a few miles from Walt Disney World and Old Town. If you are a local, hurry up and get here, help support your neighbor's business and eat delicious food at this same time! We need to keep this awesome "Mom & Pop" shop open for all to enjoy!
