The spicy chicken is King Philly’s finest achievement, and is what you should order. We love that the chicken is shaved just like the steak, as opposed to being served in larger chunks. And even despite being sliced paper-thin, this chicken is juicier and more flavorful than their beef. The addition of pickled jalapeños add a vinegary brightness, and a heavy shake of spices swirl within the liquified American to make an even better sauce.

Spicy Chicken Philly

This is a good cheesesteak, with tender shreds of grilled beef, a not-too-messy river of warm cheese sauce, and diced sauteed onion and peppers. If you went into this experience thinking, “I would like a cheesesteak right now,” this will certainly do the trick. But we implore you to upgrade to the spicy version, which is worlds more magical.

Original Steak Philly

Somehow, King Philly transforms Beyond Meat crumbles and faux cheese into a completely vegan cheesesteak that proves to be one of the greatest animal-free sandwiches in town. The griddle creates a bunch of tasty crispy bits, and the non-dairy American slices they use are creamy, melty, and taste incredible in the same bite as savory “meat,” sweet grilled onions, and chewy bread.

Vegan Philly

The plump breaded shrimp on the po’ boy has a great brittle crunch with plenty of kick (you rule, red pepper flecks). We could easily eat a bucket of the popcorn shrimp alone. But they aren’t not sold on their own, and when piled on a soft roll overloaded with The Quartet Of Wet, a.k.a. mayo, sriracha ranch, watery iceberg, and tomato, these crustaceans get soggy quickly.

Fried Shrimp Po’ Boy

The fries at King Philly have an uncanny ability to be crispy on the outside while still having a bit of floppiness that works to their advantage—not to mention that they’re perfectly salted. Even when swiped through the side of sriracha ranch that you should also order.
