Best place for Philly Cheese steak in Australia?

I'm so disappointed at Opporto's version of the cheese steak. If you know of a joint anywhere in Australia, that sells a decent Philly cheese steak sandwich/sub, please tell!

  • Local kebab place does kebab dogs with cheese which reminded me of Philly cheese steak. Maybe try your luck at a kebab place and tweak to taste?

    Side note - don't quite get why Philly cheese steak is a 'thing'. Had one in Philadelphia a few years back, didn't think it was anything special. Maybe I bought it from a dud place shrug

  • Why don't you make it yourself? It's pretty simple and essentials are get sliced meat (shabu shabu easiest to get), provolone cheese and a roll. Extras are up to you.

  • It doesn't really exist here.

    I have been surprised to find some other American foods here like fried green tomatoes, jalapeno poppers or chicken and waffles. I would have thought Philly Cheese steak would be here before those.

    place called pjs in west end bris is all about the cheese steak.good chilli dogs too.got a craving for one now,with a can of cherry coke nom.

    • PJ's over at West End is good. I'd include photos but I don't have them on me. Generous portions and a very solid serving of chilli fries should you choose to have them.

      Beyond that maybe Snag Stand? But honestly PJ's hands down.

    • That sounds good! I'm serious about my cheese steaks. I was really prepared to take my next short vacation in another state if I had to.

      How much are they?

      • It's blurry, but here's a list of prices of their menu late November last year. It's blurry, but you should be able to make out the average cost of a cheesesteak.

        I frequently supplement my visits to this place with a bottle of Hank's and a tower of these. It's either the onion rings or the chilli fries, either or are great.

        It's a small joint, you'll miss it if you're not careful.

        Prepared to take a visit to another state, but not if the sandwich I'm buying is too expensive - now that's the ozbargainer spirit!

  • Coffee club!

    • Is the Coffee Club still really expensive? They don't have many in Sydney so haven't been for years, but when I lived in Brisbane I always found the Coffee Club to be extremely overpriced.

  • Yeh I've had PJ's at West End a couple of times. It's pretty good.

  • You'll hate me for this, but the Abercrombie Hotel in Sydney did an amazing Philly cheese steak burger, but they closed down last month :(

    They also did deep fried Gaytimes!

  • Roasties at Wellington Point (Brisbane) is an American BBQ place. They do a philly cheesesteak and heaps of other American BBQ type foods.

  • I'm no philly chese steak expert, but don't mind the one at Subway. Haven't tried Oporto's new one. (Still havn't gotten over their branch out from chicken!)
