A Little Bit of Philly

When you’re from the Philly area , arrive in Miami and see a place “A Little Bit of Philly” you’re gonna naturally be “skeptical” Then you walk in the door ….. nope - YOU’RE HOME !! If you’re looking for quality Philly Cheese Steaks …. GET HERE !! If you’re looking a little Philly Vibe because maybe you’re home sick - GET HERE !!!! Established for 16 years , you get that warm Philly welcome from the moment you talk to Pat you’ll know , you’re home !!!

The cleanliness and décor of this location created a welcoming atmosphere. Fast service and a friendly chef ensured a pleasant experience. The standout dish was the exceptional chicken Philly, the finest I've enjoyed in Miami. This venue comes highly recommended. From your Texas girl

Small building with BIG flavors. Went back and forth about giving this a try but we are so glad we did to the point we may go back again...today 😆🤦🏽‍♀️. We walked in and we're promptly greeted and instead of waisting our time on the menu were told not to miss out on the Philly cheese steak. I'm telling you DO IT. The flavor was phenomenal it didn't stop at the sandwich. The beer was fantastic! Prices are great and atmosphere is perfect. It was just me and my husband at first and I could see this filling fast during prime hours but wait for it, you won't regret it. Owner is the kindest man.

Best Philly cheese steak I’ve had in South Florida. Owners will sit there and bullshit with you and there is always some characters on there. Hope this spot never goes away and its too bad I live so far away.

I’m here at 2:30 pm on a Sunday and the place is closed. I’ll remove this review if the owner corrects the opening hours. I was hungry and disappointed. Update: I promised to remove my low rating if the owner updated their hours, and I see that they have done so. The store is closed on Sundays. My new rating is for their responsiveness and I look forward to sampling their food and service on my next visit.

Come for the food, stay for the conversation. Pat and Tom were so incredibly friendly to me in the short amount of time I was there, that I left feeling like I've been going there for years. Very cool environment, and also very wildly different from the surrounding area of Little Cuba aka Hialeah. Prices were a bit steep for my range but the experience was well worth it and I'll certainly be back and definitely do recommend to anyone.

I came to this place with high expectation after seen all the Stars, but what a disappointment. We were not offer a menu Only asked what we wanted, my son wanted pizza and he said they only had one slice,which was very soggy , I mean worst ever. The philly cheese steak the worst I've had in my lifetime. I asked for grilled peppers and got this cold pickled peppers. But that's what happens when someone takes an order by memory. I think that people that frequent this place don't know what a philly cheese steak is. WHAT A HORRIBLE PLACE TO EAT. I even had to close the restroom door which was wide open and leads to the dinning room.

This is a real deal Philly cheesesteak. The meat and the roll are excellent The fries were first class, Philly I’m from Philly

You will not have a more genuine Philly experience. I used to work in Philly, and I miss the fact that when they are talking to a friend, it sounds like they hate each other. It sets the ambiance for a true Philly setting at this place. It's amazing. Staff was kind, food was quick, but the Philly Cheesesteak is why I was told about this place a few years ago. It exceeded my already heightened expectation. Well done.

Wow! What can I say. I am a Yelper. I post reviews and read reviews for advice from other Yelpers. One thing many of us agree on is that "A Little Bit of Philly" is everything one says it will be and more. Yes, it's a little location. You order your food. Have a great conversation. Sit and eat or take it with you, but one thing is certain. The taste is incredible. I've had Philly's before and they always need salt and pepper for season. This one does not. You can taste the quality. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for an amazing Philly sandwhich to come here. It's incredible. Delicious. Flavorful. Just wonderful. I am have been back a couple times now and they are also consistent. Nestled in a small town Miami Springs, it is a hidden gem. The location is nice. It's easy to pull in park and pick up or a place to eat. So why wait...go and try it. It's everything everyone has mentioned. I love it!

Patrick is legit! Brought my better half who happens to be from the city of BL. The steaks were delicious. Mushrooms from Holland. American Cheese from Wisconsin and the rolls are the real deal. Fries and onion rings were delicious too. Patrick has owned many restaurants and it shows. Nothing but high person, ingredients and cooking.

If you are ever in Miami and have a taste for a Philly sub. I don't think you will be closer than Patrick's restaurant. Not only are the subs exquisite but Patrick even gives you the Philly vibe when you walk into his establishment. Nothing but "Brotherly Love!" There were eight in our party and we all ordered subs our way for carry-out. While waiting for our subs, Patrick went in the back and brought out ribs that blew our minds! He said they were from his boy "Big Black BBQ" down the street at the farmers market. Needless to say, my inner fat boy came out and we drove down the street to get rib plates as well. Yes, right after ordering the best subs we have tasted in Miami we drove down the street and ordered rib and chicken platters from Big Black who became our newest family member!

Place is good, one of the better cheese steaks you can get in this area. Cost is good too. A cheese steak and a beer is under 20 bucks. I've been many times and will keep going.

I love me a Philly cheesesteak! With a chance to meet the owner and check out their wall of fame and sit at their bar takes me back to the East Coast. Once you walk in, you'll see a chalkboard on the left with the daily specials, place your order there near the railing with the staff, order your drink of choice and pay, They will bring your order out to you. There are a few tables to sit at, or if you prefer a barstool at the long counter. This place is legit, and I definitely recommend the Philly cheesesteak with banana peppers and crushed reds! I'll be back for sure!

The picture shows a ton of meat in the cheese steak, not so in real life. Pizza was New York style, and had a lot of flop. If you are looking for a cheese steak in Flordia this is probably your best bet. Service was good.

Philly cheesesteak was SUPERB. We have them add hot peppers- oh, was that delicious. Had the pizza last week. Some of the best pizza I've ever had.

We have gotten take out twice , both times the food was hot and delicious , I would definitely come back any time we are in the area .

Excellent as always! I always enjoy this place and the owner is super cool. I had the Philly cheesesteak and it was so delicious.

What a great , safe American establishment. I've been coming to Philly since I was a young teen . Now an adult and I will be going Aslong as Pat The legend is still slinging philly's . One of my fav places to eat in my hometown . Also love the work Pat does for the kids ! Neighborhood hero !

Great little place the cheesesteaks are bad ass and the meatball Parm was fantastic that small little business that you can depend on being the same and the quality being high fantastic service just a fun place and a good place to eat when you're looking for a good Hardy sandwich.

Outstanding phillycheese steak Fresh delicious and very reasonable The pizzas are delicious and so is the Tuna hogue

Can we talk about this for a sec?! From the moment you walk in, ALBOP is a vibe!!!! It felt like I was walking into a little piece of Philadelphia. The colors, the decor, and the owner. He is really from Philly! Authentic accent in the middle of Miami Springs- super flipping cool guy! The philly cheese steak with onions was delicious- I mean truly worth the hype. Cheesy, oniony, tender pieces of meat in a soft bun. What more could you ask for?! Service was very quick. Prices were on point. Great chip selection. Definitely worth the hype

If you go anywhere else for an authentic Philly cheesesteak sandwich, you will be disappointed. Pat is the real deal and is as authentic as you are going to get. I have yet to try anything else but the cheesesteak sandwich. Every time we are in the area, the wife will whisper "are we stopping to get "THE" cheesesteak sandwich?" That means that any other one is a cheap knockoff. Most times we barely make it out of the parking lot before she tears into it. I practically die smelling that perfectly done sandwich and listening to her say "Oh my God" in between bites. We never make it home with the sandwiches. We end up parking somewhere and devouring those sandwiches and basking in the euphoria. I'm full and I want to eat another one! If you really are into Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, stop in early 11 to 12 (before the rest of us eat them up!) and let me know how far your eyeballs roll back in your head. Pat's dad once told him, "If you can't beat them, feed them!" Dad would be proud because Pat has not only done both, but done it better than everyone else in south Florida!

Where do I start, the Philly cheesesteak was about as good as it gets in Miami. The owner was really friendly and it was definitely a great little spot.

Philly sandwich is the best ive had in Miami, worth the drive from Kendal to north of the airport for this great sandwich on NW 36 street and Curtis pkwy.

I had a random craving for a Philly cheesesteak at work and decided to see how Uber eats could help me with that. A little bit of Philly was just a few miles a way and had no delivery fee so it seemed like a win/win. For the first time ever, I didn't Yelp the place prior to ordering and I am so glad it turned out as well as it did. Although Philly cheesesteaks have pretty simple ingredients, it's really hard to come by amazing ones. The cheesesteak came fresh and delicious and my picture does not do it any type of justice considering I took a bite first. Oops, couldn't wait. I will definitely order there next time for the full experience, can't wait'

This place is a go to,hole in the wall we stumbled upon many years ago! We visit Pat every time we are in Miami and get cheesesteaks to go for later. The bread is always soft and they always load it up with however you like it.They don't offer whiz, but it's the closest thing you can get to Philly in Florida! Go see Pat and his crew...you won't regret it!

Finally a place I can get fresh steamer in south Florida. One of the best clam chowders and lobster rolls (served both hot or cold) full of big lobster chunks. Did not care for the lobster bisk however the clam chowder. Amazing!! Friendly staff

I lived a few blocks off of this location for many years .... and never tried it until I read the reviews so I had to give it a try for the first time. . The Philly cheesestakes are off the chain !!!! So gooooood ! I literally went back an hour later to order more . Definitely the best Philly I tried in my lifetime . I'm gonna order more today for sure. I traveled around the world and these are guaranteed to be the best of the best

Best cheesesteaks around, hands down. Pizza is also great. Patrick is a very cool guy to boot, you will not leave here unhappy.

Hole in the wall spot located in Miami springs! Home to the best authentic cheesesteak in Miami! Pat the owner is always behind the grill and he's nice with it!!!!!!!! Pat is always welcoming and treats you like family! The pizza is really good also, crust is crispy, good sauce and cheesy! Pizza score 7.6 The cheesesteak is my fav, because the bread is soft and the meat is seasoned well, hits the spot every time!!!!! Go support small Business!!!

There are two equally salient reasons to return to A Little Bit of Philly: one, the amazing, authentic Philly cheesesteaks (my tongue is slightly burnt as I write this, but it's worth it), and two, the welcoming, owner-knows-your-name vibe of the place. THIS is what they mean when they talk about homey hole-in-the-wall restaurants. THIS is the restaurant you only see in sitcoms, where your protagonists come to joke around with the owner as he makes your food. Why, I've only been there twice and he's already told me we're part of the family--and I feel like it, too. You walk in and Patrick jokes with you like he's known you for years, and you just feel like you've naturally integrated into the ecosystem here at A Little Bit of Philly--an ecosystem where bills from around the world line the walls, and everywhere you look there's something interesting to see. I can see why people from around the world have visited; one thing you learn quickly here is that food always brings people together. I'm pretty sure it's the principle this place operates on, actually. Okay, on to the food. This place has converted me to Philly cheesesteak-ism. Delicious. Fairly simple in composition (I get mine topped with mushrooms, onions, and banana peppers), but so delicious. Whatever their secret recipe is, it's working. The sandwiches are super cheesy and piping hot, and the bread is perfect--not too dense so as to fill you up or take away from the main attraction. Yum. When you visit here, you know the owners love what they do and do it well. Absolutely will be returning here to our latest family member; this is a place you show your kids and your kids' kids as the years go by.

It's truly a feeling of being at your uncle's place! There's a bar along the wall where you can sit. If you got a ground there's tables and chairs you can put together for the whole gang. We ordered a Philly cheesesteak! Because of course if you're going to a spot named "a little bit of Philly" you gotta have a Philly cheesesteaks!! And my dude it super lived up to its name I swear the picture may not do it justice but the flavor is on point! I was confused on what to order because the specials board was so delicious sounding. But the main cook gave us a recommendation for a tortilla Margherita. This tortilla was filled with tomato mozza and delicious aromatic garlic.I'm salivating just writing about it! Highly recommended we are definitely coming back!

First time I had a white sauce pizza,,,,Wow it was great.....the dude who helped us was cool

Hello, my name is Ralph, I have to admit that this is probably the best Philly cheese steak I have had in Miami. Hands Down The pizza is also on point. Ask for Patt, he will take care of you.

Awesome cheese steaks and burgers. Very friendly and at home feel. Highly recommended lunch spot.

The best Philly cheese steak in Miami! From the meat to the rolls, authentic Philly and the owner is also authentic Philly!!

Great food, Pat makes the place what it is. Great service and the place screams Philly. Might be in Miami but you're in Philly when you walk in there.

Awesome pizza Philly style. Thin crust with lots of cheese. A large pepperoni pie is $18. This is a local joint. You'll find lots of local folks and from the airport. My kids love this pizza. The best cheesesteaks in Miami.

Expected the food to taste better .. quality of taste was poor .. took a few bites of the items I ordered .. had to Throw it away very unsatisfying

Best little hole in the wall in Miami. The place has the best cheese steak in Miami. Pizza is delicious and the shrimp Po boy is out of this world when available. Daily menu there too so take a look. Plenty of parking and old style Philly feel

Just left there! We got 2 Philly cheese steaks and 1 chicken Philly. OMG it was hands down the best Philly we've ever had. It was amazing! It's a small spot but it's perfect! The owner was so welcoming and friendly and down to earth! Thoroughly enjoyed it. We'll def be back!! Totally worth the drive from cutler ridge! Didn't get any pics cause we just dug right in!

Not much needs to be said, but they have best Philly cheesesteak sandwich in Miami. I've been searching, and this is THE place to go. My six-year old absolutely loved it and he is pretty picky. This is a mom and pop style little slice of heaven in Virginia Gardens. There isn't a whole lot of seating, but it's easy and quick to pick up and dash home. There's parking right outside of the door which is free. Aside from the food being delicious, my favorite part was the customer service I received from the call I made at home till the second I walked in and out of their door. The gentlemen that were there were so kind and respectful. Just like that, they have my business.

HIDDEN. GEM. I'll say it again for the folks in the back: HIDDEN. GEM. Let me start off by saying this place is a little hole in the wall, a just little bit rough around the edges. Nevertheless I will be coming back very soon. We ordered the pizza lunch special: 2 slices and a soda for $6.00. CANT BEAT IT. I dare say this pizza is one of the best ones I've had in Miami. And of course we ordered their famous Philly Cheese Steak ($9.00). Wow.... just .... wow. These guys left me speechless! the best cheese steak I've had in Miami!!!! Congrats Pat and team!! Love your place, expect me back very soon!

This place should be called A LOT of Philly because their philly is IT!!!! Stop wasting time trying out different phillys and come here!!!! You can't beat the prices or the food. Lunch specials are awesome and very fulfilling. Service is fast for people on lunch break. Will come back for sure, it's always yummy in a little bit of philly! 10$ philly! 6$ 2 pizza slices and a soda

Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the food ordering process. The cook, probably owner, was not very friendly, and at times rude. My first food selection was not available. My second food selection was also not available. At this point, I gave up on ordering, put the menu ok the table, and began to walk toward the exit. I heard the cook say to me, "There you go." This just reinforced how rude he was and that I will never patronize his business again. Hope you have a better experience than I was subjected to.

I came to this place with high expectation after seen all the Stars, but what a disappointment. We were not offer a menu Only asked what we wanted, my son wanted pizza and he said they only had one slice,which was very soggy , I mean worst ever. The philly cheese steak the worst I've had in my lifetime. I asked for grilled peppers and got this cold pickled peppers. But that's what happens when someone takes an order by memory. I think that people that frequent this place don't know what a philly cheese steak is. WHAT A HORRIBLE PLACE TO EAT. I even had to close the restroom door which was wide open and leads to the dinning room.

I've been meaning to try this spot for a while and finally got around to it. The owner and staff will make you feel like a local and a friend. As far as the food goes, I had a cheesesteak and split a side of fries with my buddy. The cheesesteak was definitely great. I can't say it's the best I've ever had, but it's probably one of the top cheesesteaks in the Miami area. The bun was super soft and the sandwich was big so you definitely leave with a full stomach. The other best part is the very friendly prices. Also the beer selection is very good for a small restaurant and they are $3 drafts all day. Can't beat those prices in Miami!

The yummiest Philly Cheese Steak ever!! Nice soft bread with chopped up steak smothered with onions, mushrooms and cheese. This is a no frills place with a very basic menu, next time I'd like to give the chicken Philly. This place is located in a small strip mall in Miami Springs. If you want an authentic Philly Cheese Steak give this place a try, you won't be disappointed

I would give Pat (also known as Little Bit of Philly) a 1-star rating, simply because I don't want anyone ruining this gem of a place with their Miami hipsterness, but frankly it is out of driving distance from otherwise walkable downtown, and hipsters are so accustomed to the words 1 star review and next place, so I think we are safe there. This wonderful place has a baker pride oven, a grill, and the most charismatic gentleman chef on planet earth. This is the kind of place you see on one of those TV shows, or with the Barstool Sports guy standing outfront saying it's the best cheesesteak he ever had. He even offered to marry me and my fiance as he is an ordained minister... Growing up in New Jersey somewhere between Philly and NYC and moving to Miami about 6 months ago from DC, I have learned there are 3 things you can't quite get anywhere else in the world except there: 1. Pizza, Penne Vodka, Garlic Knots, etc... 2. Kosher Bagels 3. Cheesesteaks Given that Pat is not Jewish, we will allow him a pass on #2. But damn does he get 1 and 3 just perfect. The funny thing is, my fiance refused to eat Cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, but now will consume, an entire cheesesteak in 3 minutes at Pat's shop. It's like the nathan's hot dog eat contest gone great in there... It's a simple business model, charge roughly $10 for cheesesteak (frankly, I have no idea what it costs as he adds up what you bought not on a receipt but quickly in his head and tells you a seemingly random, yet unbelievably consistent amount), and since you just yell an order at him in the first place it seems like the proper way. He is also not one of those idiots that won't build a 3% credit card fee into his restaurant pricing, so you aren't stuck trying to go to an ATM for the first time in a decade if you don't want to... Pat's kitchen is also relatively MTO. If you want say a fresh caught fish of some sort, Pat will go out with his fishing boat over the weekend, catch it, have it prepared, and ready to go on Monday (I am not actually sure he does this, I think he does buy from a great supplier, but frankly wouldn't surprise me for a second if he did)... He also does awesome catering, and will even do private chef services starting at $10k a night (not really, but if he charged me that I'd probably be like ok, it's simply that good)... Insider Tip: Hidden deep on his menu are his Hot Dogs. They are the gem of Pat's menu, and include a soda and chips or fries. Pat loves making them, and they are always in-stock due to their unbelievable popularity. Make sure you ask for a hot dog when you head there... He also knows everyone in the city and got me a scorching deal on a new Bentley, and I'm in the car business, so thanks Pat!

Love coming here as their Philly cheesesteaks are unmatched. I will say it's a bit of an unorthodox way of a ordering which consists of no front cash register or anything of that sort, I would categorize it as a really informal style. With that said, everyone's always really friendly and a good time. On my last visit I decided to venture off and try the fries and meatball Parmesan, nothing bad but I'll continue to stick with the bread and butter which are the Philly cheesesteaks.

Amazing and nothing like it. I have been going here for years. Patrick, who is the owner from Philly, knows how to do it right. I retired and had not gone in over a year, and a friend of mine told me it's not the same. I think he went to the wrong place LOL. I went a week ago after a year of not being there and as good as the first day I went there. BTW, been to Philly lots of times. Nothing matches this place.

Yelp says it's closed, it's definitely not! Go here, the food is really good! Take it from this Philly native, this is the real deal!

I called at 11:30am to order 30 philly sandwiches and I said I needed them in an hour and Pats response was....do u want chips? Called me 45 min later to tell me your order is ready. Sandwiches were amazing! Every bite was better than the last. Definitely a gem and so happy to have found them.

This little place is amazing. Love whole in the wall joints with good food and friendly service that feels like your hanging out with your buddy's in their kitchen. Pat and the boys do a great job, cheese steaks are awesome and the price is right.

Took a chance driving through horrible Miami traffic to find this hidden gem. Visiting from RI and looking for a great "grinda" we ventured out and found great steak, cheese and onion sub, grinder, hoagie. The inside is adorned w signatures from visitors near and afar. Obviously a Phillies hard core fan... my only complaint was there was nothing from the great Sixers teams of late 70s early eighties w Dr J, Mo Cheeks, Bobby Jones, Darrell Dawkins, Moses Malone and Andrew Tony. Well worth the trip!!!! Bob from RI.

First of all, I believe the owner took our order or cooked our order, not sure but our Philly cheesesteaks were AMAZING!!! I've had real Philly cheesesteaks at Pat's and Gino's in Philly and this is amazing!!! It doesn't come with Whiz, but it's amazing just as is. The two people we interacted with were super nice. Also, it seemed like a regular customer came in to pick up their order and their card wasn't working and the guy who appeared to be the owner was like "It's ok, just pay us next time you come in." I thought that was super nice. This place is in a strip mall so you may look and not want to go, but I'm telling you, don't miss out on this place.
