Philadelphia Sub Shop Entrance
Chips and Drinks Featured
Large Cheese Steak
Philadelphia Sub Shop
Clearfield | Sandwich Shop | Counter Service
Philadelphia Sub Shop is always an excellent lunch. Typically there can be quite a lunch rush with lots of workers and retirees. The food is prepared hot on the grill behind the cashier and you can feel the energy of a place that executes very highly on cheese steak sandwiches.
I have visited multiple times and always return to the core offering of the cheese steak. I have tried it with and without the hot pepper relish and if you have a tolerance for spice it definitely adds a large depth of flavor. They provide a large variety of chips and drinks either in soda cans or from the fountain. On loud busy lunch rushes you will need to pay close attention to your number being called.
Order for First Timers (Serves 2)
1x Large Cheese Steak with all add ons (except peppers if you don’t like spice) 2x bag of chips 2x drinks
