Str8 Out Of Philly Cafe, Cheesesteaks Hoagies

Ima be honest!.!.as a chef if 24 years and a traveler my First thought I had while walking down the urban streets of Richmond in search of the highly spoken of cheesesteak house was,man...this reminds me of Philly a place I know all to well, being my family bleeds green. Cheesesteaks in Philly are more than just one thing one way! Pats and Genos really put a name and style on the map for the cheesesteak , when really..... you ask any of the old Philly natives and I bet none of them eat at any of those two well done establishments with more of a name and (long)experience with small portion than a high end result. What they will tell you is that a cheesesteak is supposed to be huuuge and on the right bread and mountains of meat and wiz or provolone or cherry peppers or hot crushed pepper spread aka hoagie spread, some some wiz some wit mayo or no?! My point is that this company is doing it right!!! I loved the whole feel of Philly that I desire so much! the sides and the ability to add anything I would add if I were at Lees hoagie house in Philly is satisfying. Thanks guys it was worth the hike to get to y 'all, keep those portions fat and hell yes to the bean pies and ima get some of those cookies whaaaattt?!? Just go and see Much Love Chef t

The food is excellent and the owner entertaining. Perfect for sporting events because the portions are huge and full of flavor! Only Salmon cheesesteak in RVA I know of.

The girl who works at the front counter needs to get a better attitude. She don't have any customer service. Food is great but her attitude ain't.

Vegan cheesesteak hoagie is delicious, but every time I order there is an issue and the owner isn't the most aware of tone and it's impact to customers. Today I ordered at 7:52 with a pickup time of ASAP. Yelp returns an estimated pick up time of 8:59-9:09. No biggie if that's truly the time it will take. Upon arrival the owner made comments as if it were my error and selected that time which isn't true. This is not the first time the owner has made slick comments related to the systems they use to complete online orders. Customer service and tons with customers should be freshened up by owners and staff.

12:15 on a Sunday and this place is dark despite posted hours on yelp and the door stating it is open. Phone goes straight to generic voicemail. Wasted 30 minutes.
