4.0 Very Good
Located inside Catfish is a kitchen pumping out Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, their speciality item. Order at the window and wait for your name to be “called”, you don’t want to be eating near there as it can be quite loud. We ate at the bar counter as all the main tables were already taken and we came close to midday!
The Philly cheesesteak (mine with peppers) came on top of a bed of fries in a basket, it was weighted to one side and tipped over. Bartender mentions he’s seen it happen quite often, luckily it didn’t roll down and I was able to salvage it. The bun is soft and held it’s integrity quite well which melded well with the thinly cooked steak and sweet peppers. The melted American cheese added a salty creaminess to it and might not be to everyone’s preference as it overpowers the steak. An alternate mild provolone cheese (I didn’t know this was an option) may tickle you in the right places.
They’ve got other variations, my colleague’s bourbon bacon deluxe looked amazing and was well received. They also operate a food truck which you can follow on social media.
Nothing but compliments for these cheese steaks. I had the Hot pepper steak and the sweet pepper steak which were both really good but I probably enjoyed the sweet pepper more. We also had the onion rings which were great with a good thick batter on them.
The good thing is this place is out the back of a bar so you can stop and grab a drink. Also I must mention bloody Marys are $10 on a Sunday
This was everything I hoped it would be. Delicious and very filling. We got the Bourbon Bacon Deluxe and the Hoagie Steak. Both very good and very flavourful. The service was also fantastic, the two ladies behind the counter were polite and very cheerful- top notch service. Looking forward to going back and trying more cheesesteaks.
Holy moly Batman, we were not let done by this place! It was exactly what they said it would be and more. It wasn't crap meat (big killer for me) and it was literally oozing cheese (which is never a bad thing for me!). There is no 'fluff' attached to what they do and that is exactly what you want from a place like this, you get what you ordered without any pretense.
The ordering desk is tucked away out the back which adds to the experience, and then the way they 'announce' your food is ready is the cherry on top of in creating the atmosphere!
I also have to mentioned a shoutout to the bar Catfish! What a place they have created; grungy and character melting off the walls. Special mention to the bar tender with the epic beard who made an epic Bloody Mary.
This place is a must try on anybodys greasy food experience, and I would be absolutely amazed if it isn't from that point on at the top of your list!
Give it a shot, try it out and just be blown away but what they serve!
Ordered the regular Philly Cheesesteak from the truck at The Ascot Lot Food Truck Park, delicious tender scotch fillet with authentic American Cheddar and onions in a soft roll which they call 'haogie', really good can i say and so generous with the meat. Fries were nice and crunchy and also ordered the loaded fries which were also good. Finished with delicious pumpkin pie with whipped cream though it had a very strong cinnamon taste which overpowered it a little. All up the authentic philly cheesesteaks will have me going back again!!
I actually really loved my experience here. The staff in the kitchen tonight we're so friendly and sweet, it was a man and woman. Food was sooooo good, my only critique is that a small slice of pumpkin pie cost us $10.... Don't get me wrong it was absolutely delicious but it was really just a small slice of pie, probably wouldn't order it again until the price makes a little more sense for the quantity given. Overall the prices just need a little more reason for whatchya gettin.
Definitely give it a try though :)
Delicious and Authentic! Cheesesteaks were full of flavour. Fries were crispy and salty. Lunch special was an absolute bargain. We’ll be back!
Awesome Phillies! Sparrow's Philly Cheesesteaks are great with beautifully cooked meat tossed with sauteed onions and capsicum, molten cheesy provolone and a soft hoagie bun to boot. Onion rings and chips are good. Plenty of nice hot sauces available too. And to top it all off, these guys are serving these delicious sandwiches from the back of the Catfish, a local Fitzroy bar serving a pretty good selection of beers. Recommended.
Sparrow's Philly Cheeseteaks is living proof that late night eats don’t have to be inferior from Melbourne’s usual standard of dining. Situated in the Fitzroy pub Catfish, whilst the venue itself is nothing overly surprising for a Northside pub, Sparrow's authentic Philly cheesesteaks and loaded chilli cheese fries are definitely something worth talking about.
One of the best places to get onion rings! There's so much cheese in the cheesesteaks (obviously) and it's heavenly.. Also ordered the Buffalo Wings and chilli cheese fries. I'd you can eat spicy (or even if you can't), I highly recommend!!
Having lived in the US before, I can confirm that the Philly Cheese Steak here is legit AF and easily the best I've had in Australia. This is the real deal. The Buffalo Wings are up there too, as the sauce tastes right (unlike most places that think it's just fried chicken). Highly recommended and will definitely be back!
Recommend coming in on Mondays for the cheaper cheesesteaks and wednesdays for the 50c wings! Paid $7.50 for 15 fantastic buffalo wings today!
Its a nice and cosy!
Staff are friendly and welcoming!
The sandwich and fries were okay, could be better!
Overall 8/10 and will be back
Been here a number of times and the philly cheesesteak never fails to impress. The live music out the front doesn't hurt.
The best and only good Philly cheesesteak in Melbourne. 🙌🏽 Missing American food since I’ve moved here and this has been my go to place. I’ve made all my friends try it and the love it! No frills just goodness.
Lots of cheese steaks to choose from.. love the classic with extra jalapenos..
