“ I've dined at the Colonial Corner Hoagie Shop for as far as the eighties. The Philly cheesesteaks are always cooked fresh with chopped ribeye and served hot!! The flavor has always been excellent as well. Counter service as always here where you place your order. Haven't been in for a while and was surprised on how the inside atmosphere drastically changed. Don't get me wrong, it's extremely clean and updated, but it is definitely missing the old school decor which added to the atmosphere. Hopefully sometime they may add something to give some character. Just my opinion...I always feel drawn more to atmosphere when I'm going somewhere to eat, along with taste. Other than that, the sandwiches were excellent!!! ”
“ There are several cheesesteak restaurants in the area, but in my opinion, Colonial tops them all. The shop is in an older strip mall & upon entry it is apparent that you've stepped into what could be an established neighborhood cheesesteak shop in Philly. 5 men were working behind the small counter & several greeted us as we entered. On a side note these guys were conversing & joking with each other, as if they have been best friends running this shop for decades. I ordered a cheesesteak with onions, sweet peppers, & hot peppers. Away they went chopping up the ribeye on the griddle. They then whisked a piece of heaven to my table. The roll was classic pillowy, soft. The meat was finely chopped with no questionable parts in it. The white American cheese connected all the pieces with gooey creaminess, & the peppers & onions delivered. Caution, the hot peppers truly have some heat. Several times one of the guys would lean over the counter to check on us & make sure the food was ok. It was more than ok. It was perfect! ”
“ Definitely a solid cheesesteak. Been to Philly and this is definitely a contender. I did knock a star down as they weren't the friendliest. Apparently, the hours were incorrect and they were trying to close (it was 4pm, hours said they close at 6). I seemed to have thrown them off as they weren't expecting anyone else and could hear some bickering which I thought was a little off putting. I explained their "open" light and flag were still outside (and door was open) and the cook said it wasn't a problem. Either way, good food. Can't knock em on that. Definitely would return .. sandwich is a bit on the smaller side than what you'd expect, but still good. ”
“ We read an article about this little shop that has been in business forever and stopped by to try it out. We have now found a new go to philly cheesesteak go to location. The meat had a superior flavor to any of the others that we have previously eaten over the years. The family run business is welcoming and friendly and with their change in hours to being open later we will be able to stop in more often. ”
“ This has been rated #1 by many people so we aren't going to disagree. Great cheesesteak. It's a simple, no-frills counter with sports nostalgia on the walls and a big flat screen TV for sports. The place is large enough for a sit-down and grub sesh, but has no bathroom. So go beforehand, or plan your emergency escape route XD. The cheesesteak we ordered could've literally been from any corner store in Philly. Very tasty, well-made and legit. Not sure we'd put it #1 but for sure in our top three for the area, this far. 5-stars overall because it's just awesome. You're going to have trouble finding anything else as authentic down here. ”
“ Second time coming here and it was even better than the first time! Service was fantastic. They are so nice and friendly! I ordered a cheesesteak with American cheese and fried onions. Came out hot and fresh! They accept card and cash! This place is a must! ”
“ Getting some work done on the jeep and wanted some lunch as I waited and this place popped up with great reviews. Small shop but great smells! Ordering was quick. Good to know what you want. I got the Italian Special Hoagie. Not sure why the ham on top but the sandwich was delicious. Fresh ingredients and bread. Great spot ! ”
“ This place has been on my list for a while now. I was finally on that side of town, so I figured I'd check it out. It is a small spot in a little strip. Parking was easy The crew was friendly and polite. They took my order easily and I sat down. There are surprisingly a lot of things on the menu. Last year I did a cheese steak tour in Philly. So I was excited because I had heard these were the closest thing we had in St Pete. Welp... That's a letdown. The sandwich was good. But for $15 I expected to be blown away. The bread was less chewy than I got in Philly. The meat was good. But overall the sandwich felt less substantial than what I got up there. I wavered between a 3&4 butthe nice attitudes push it to a 4 I doubt I see myself driving out there again. Th ”
