Wilmington Restaurant Guide

They really should take the word "Philly" out of their name. No Cheese Steak restaurant ANYWHERE would use liquid cheese on a cheese steak sandwich except J Michael's. The manager at the MJ store told me this was a mistake when my wife and I were there last year, but we were served the same congealed cheese at the Oleander store tonight. Needless to say we walked out each time. This time never to return because nothing could be future from a "Philly" cheese steak sandwich. If you like liquid cheese from a can then J Michael's deli is the place for you. BTW, we ordered onion rings with are sandwiches. Apparently J Michael's thinks onion rings are an appetizer because they came out 10 minutes ahead of the sandwiches. Go figure.

I've been eating at the Philly Deli for approximately 25 years. I always get my favorite: the pizza steak & cheese. It is magnificent and only available at the Philly Deli. The meat is marinated in a most delicious sauce. The decor needs updating but I go regularly for the delicious food. My friends LOVE the fried mushrooms and the french onion soup. I highly recommend the food at the Philly Deli. Remember to ask for the bread to be baked "the old way" because they have recently chosen to shorten the baking time.
