I'll try it for myself before I make a judgement - thanks for the link.

Went to Chi's today and it was marvelous. 108th sreet steak was great and the fries homemade!

Lovely place...

From the Philly area now FROGS and Chi's will always remind me of home....

We went to Chi's this evening for the Cheesesteak. First of all, let me say that we're from Mass. and are Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruin fans, so when then young lady at the counter was wearing a NY cap, that was a check mark against the place. Well, that was the last negative we found there. The sandwich was excellent! The hand cut fries were excellent! Even the pickle was excellent! And as hard as it is to admit, even the 2 Yankee fans working there were nice, friendly people! Don't know how busy it gets, but at 6:30 it wasn't busy. I hope that more people go and try their food, because the word will spread and the place will be packed. And this is from a Boston fan!

I'm with you bigalibaba! I'll bet you, like me, are not from up North and therein might be the problem. I found nothing on the menu that appealed to me. Cheesesteaks and Arby's roast beef sandwiches are like someone has "pre-chewed" the meat. That said, I ordered a BLT on wheat, which was not on the menu but they said they could make me a BLT but it would have to be on white Texas Toast bread which ended up being a big mouthfull of white carbs that I am trying to cut back on. In my opinon, every sandwich place should have wheat bread as a choice. I haven't willingly eaten white bread in years!

I am glad to hear that so many do enjoy Chis and I wish the best for the new business.

I'll just have to keep going to Cracker Barrel for my corn bread and collards!

With all due respect Wendy but you walked into a cheesesteak/ice cream joint.

I agree frank! I have been going for 2 months & I love the place! The cheese steaks are huge! I always need a nap after! The quality of the meat is by far the best in Florida! I am actually going to head there now for breakfast! Bacon, egg & cheese on a kaiser roll! Mmmmm

The young lady with the Yankee hat is actually the owner! The guy responsible for this great food is her husband (he was the exec chef for the Bucs stadium in Tampa before talking his wife into opening Chi's)

Mr. Mac9 and I went to Chi's for dinner. Having lived in South Jersey for many years and worked in Philly, we think Tony Luke's is the best (Gino's and Pat's are for the tourists). This place give South Philly a run for its money with their steaks. They are tender, moist, flavorful, HUGE, and on an Amoroso roll (the only real Italian steak roll). I would highly recommend them.

We had dinner tonight at Chi's and we thought it was GREAT!!!!!! Truly enjoyed the cheese steak and the FF's. 2 excellent sandwiches, one order of fresh cut Fries and 2 drinks, $15.50. We definetly will be returning. I do hope the residents of TV support this business and keep them going. Give them a try.

When hubby & I crave a great hot dog, we head to the pool bar at Nancy Lopez. Totally yummy!

After reading all the posts about the wonderful food that Chi's has, I couldn't wait to dig in. Went after work yesterday and ordered 2 supers with Cheesewiz and onions. What a feast. Pure heaven.

Chef Robert used to be the Ex Chef for Tampa Bay Bucs, as another poster stated but he also prepared and supervised the feeding of 65,000 plus hungry football fans. Bless him.

The fries also looked so good. I'm ordering them next time i go, which will be very soon!!!!

Finally, a grill that knows Philly Cheese Steaks. Chi's is a winner.

[kaydee]

So much positive written about Chi's ....we LOVE the philly cheese. I truly hope the residents here in TV as well as surrounding towns support this business. It really would be a sad thing to loose this GREAT eatery! So if you haven't been there yet you don't know what you're missing...give em a try!
