Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Better job on the Second Time. I got the American Cold Cuts Sub. It's bologna, spiced ham, and cooked salami. I made sure to say easy on the onions and O and V. I even added their homemade pepper sauce. The sub was constructed perfect (see pic). The pepper sauce had a sweet hot punch which gave the sub some added flavor. By the way, this place is a hole and very tiny. There were four of us waiting for subs and one dude waiting outside because the place is so small. Also, the decor is old old old. With that said, if you are a clean freak don't come here. If you want a good sub with some friendly employees, served in a place that has character then I would bookmark this place for you to try. I'll be back for sure so remember to tell them Dan sent you and Stay Hungry!

    The other reviews pretty much cover it, this is a small cash only take out sandwich shop. The shopping center that it is located in was recently remodeled, to bad the inside of the sandwich shop was not! You could easily mistake this place for a broom closet, it is that small! While the inside is extremely small, they manage to work with what they have. This is strictly take out and cash only. Do not come here if your looking for a place to sit and eat, won't happen. I have been coming here on and off more off for about 10 years. The Philly cheese steak is my favorite, actually it is the only thing I have ever tried. They usually pack the bread full of steak and add plenty of provolone cheese. The meat has a good flavor, yes it is greasy but isn't that what makes a great cheese steak? The bread is soft and the optional toppings are endless.

    The shop itself is a very small storefront with no indoor (or outdoor for that matter) seating. Like others have said, it indeed looks like it's from the 70s (signage included). None of that is really an issue for me though. I got the Steak Bomb (steak, cheese presumably provolone or mozzarella, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and spaghetti sauce which was withheld) for $10.34. The menu posted on the wall doesn't have prices, but I believe the take out menu does. The sub itself was indeed big but didn't really have any flavor. The bread had the taste and texture of a hot dog roll, and the meat only had a slight peppery taste. Maybe it was an off day?

    Walked in the famous phils in a very small shop. Wasn't expecting that much was just hungry. To my surprise the owner was there cooking all the food herself. It's been open for 48 years and she's owned it close to 30. The food was amazing and I can't get enough good reviews for this small sub shop.

    If it wasn't for the condition of the inside of this sub shop, I would give it a five star rating. The food is that awesome! If you like cheesesteaks, this is the best one I've ever had, and I've never been a big cheesesteak fan, until now. The chicken Philly is my favorite sandwich here and I love how much they stuff into their soft sturdy buns! It's definitely worth the price you pay per sub, and the whole staff is super friendly. If you're one of those who judge a place by it's looks, this isn't the place for you, but if you're in search of a tasty sub this shop won't disappoint. As others have said, it is a tiny place and it is cash only so if they're super busy you might have to wait outside for a bit, but I personally believe this food is worth the wait! If you're in the Fort Lauderdale/eastern plantation area, and tired of the same old subs, I highly recommend you give Famous Phil's a try.

    Other reviewers sum up this establishment rather accurately. Small, old, and in dire need of a renovation, but it produces a delicious steak sub! I prefer more than just steak and cheese and they had me covered with their Super Steak which includes mushroom, onion, sausage, pepperoni, marinara, and the other usual sub toppings. It was a tad over $11, but it was fantastic and I see many more in the future, regardless of where it was created! A bit of history, this place was called Fat Freddy's in the 70s and they had the best steak subs. I hadn't been here for years, but it appears the only change is the name. Freddy must've gave Phil his secret for a good sub during the switch.

    Filthy. Greasy ceiling, flood water damage on walls, nothing updated or cleaned since the '70s. Cheesesteak was good, but $10?

    If there is one thing Phil is famous for, it has to be the world record for health code violations. I dont think the place has been cleaned since it opened 40 years ago. I would rather dine in a crowded truck stop restroom after having my food prepared in the base of a porta potty.

    Recently won the New Times Best Cheesesteak in Broward/Palm Beach county 2013, so we decided to try. Don't be fooled by this fake title or any shills that vouch for this ****hole. Filthy dirty place. We almost walked out we were so grossed out by how dirty it was. We made the mistake to stay and try it. Expensive ($9-$10 each) for what you get. About the opposite of the "best" cheesesteak (no matter where your are from). The bread is basically a large processed hot dog roll - gross. Within an hour of eating 1/4 of his (he threw the other 3/4 away because it was inedible), my buddy came down with uncontrollable projectile diarrhea. He had to leave work early it was so bad.

    A friend of mine has been talking about the best subs in Fort Lauderdale for a long time and today I finally got a chance to taste one. And I must say sub the was delicious down to the last bite. I went during a lunch break and it wasn't packed... thank goodness because this sub shop was standing room only (with the exception for a two chairs and a small die table). From my understanding all the subs are foot-longs and the average price is $6 and some change. The staff (two females when I went) were really nice. The phone rung nonstop with incoming orders, so it can be busy. I ordered a tuna sub and it was soo good! I plan on going back soon to try different subs.
