The Philly Special
CHEESESTEAKS, WINGS & OTHER JAWNS
Welcome To The Philly Special
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.
As a family-run restaurant, we pride ourselves on creating a relaxed vibe where everyone feels welcome. We love being part of the community and hosting events to bring folks together.
Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite, grabbing takeout, or catering for a party... swing by The Philly Special and enjoy some real Philly goodness!
