Philly 77

The historic building that once housed one of McAllen’s first filling stations has been remodeled into a spacious new shop selling all manner of Philly-style sandwiches. We found their Original Philly Cheese Steak true to tradition, with tender sliced beef, fresh tomato and lettuce, and even Cheez Whiz. Although we enjoyed our Fries in a Cup, topped with globs of ranch dressing, more Cheez Whiz, and chunks of bacon, their simple hand-cut fries looked delicious. Save room for one of the incredible shakes, served in a mason jar and topped with an entire piece of pie, a brownie, or even an ice cream cone!
