The Philly Special - Mundelein, IL

Welcome To The Philly Special

REal Philly Cheesesteaks from Real Philly People!

The Philly Special isn’t a Chicago restaurant trying to make a Philadelphia cheesesteak. We’re Philly-owned.

We’re making Philly cheesesteaks the way we grew up eating them—made by people born in Philadelphia, with fresh, hand-sliced beef, authentic Amoroso rolls, and your choice of Cooper Sharp American, provolone, or Whiz. No unnecessary reinvention of something Philly already got right.

We’re proud to be a locally owned independent restaurant bringing the cheesesteaks we grew up with to Chicagoland.

No gimmicks. No imitation. Just Philly.
