Explorers Den: Reviews & Ratings
Excellent food . Great delivery or take out . My only complaint is that is you pay with debit they charge you extra which to me is poor service due to how often I spend money on that place
Best Cust service and good food everything I try on the menu is good
The buffalo chicken pizza and cheesesteak were too die for, Very amazing !!
Good food, fast service. Its a quick grab and go sort of place which is perfect for lunch or a quick meal if you live in the area or go to La Salle University. Atmosphere and ambiance is not what they are striving for, its not a sit down and be served type of restaurant.

No matter where I am in the world I ALWAYS wait to come back to Philly for an authentic cheesesteak. This place did not disappoint. Fast, friendly service and served hot. Thank you for indulging my nostalgia of my Philly childhood.
