Philly Shack | Our Story

Authentic Philly Taste

At Philly Shack, we bring the authentic, mouthwatering taste of home to Orlando with cheesesteaks so genuine, they'll make you feel like you're back on the streets of Philadelphia. From our fresh-baked bread to our slow-grilled perfection, we pour our hearts into every sandwich to deliver the ultimate flavor experience at both our South Semoran Boulevard and Lake Mary (Townpark Avenue) locations.

The Transplant Test

Philly Shack earns the highest credential in cheesesteak — the nod from someone who grew up eating them in South Philly. Transplants found their answer at both our South Semoran and Lake Mary locations, and word traveled fast.

Old-School Technique, Full Flavor

Philly Shack uses beef tallow on the flat top — the method South Philly shops used for generations before vegetable oil took over. You can taste the difference in every bite.

The Strip Mall Find

There's no marquee, no billboard — just unassuming storefronts on South Semoran Boulevard and Townpark Avenue in Lake Mary that earn their reputation one sandwich at a time. The best spots usually look like this.

Everything Earns Its Spot

The menu stays tight on purpose. The beef tallow fries, cheese bacon fries, and wings have each built their own following — first-timers order one, regulars order all three at both locations.

The Search Ends Here

For anyone in Central Florida who's been settling for a cheesesteak that's almost right, Philly Shack is the real thing. Come hungry — whether you’re visiting us on South Semoran or in Lake Mary.
