Really tasty food, really large portions and the guy that owns it is really personable. Great little business.
Very deceiving. Don't judge a book by its cover. First, Jake, quite a wonderful man. Very friendly and very helpful. Let us eat inside at a staff table because of the bees outside. My son spilled his pop and Jake was super chill about it. Second, the food. The foot long Philly looked massive. It was so very yummy and after eating it all I didn't feel stuffed. Usually after a meal that big I'd feel horrible.The bread he uses is very light which helps. The meat and filling were just so tasty. Jake has two more fans
I've been getting food from Jake for years. He has a small menu of his usual offerings, but if you have a craving for anything he can whip it up. His potato salad and homemade caeser dressing are out of this world. The picture I have included is one of his family meal deals I got with penne pasta, large garlic bread, caeser salad ( with the amazing dressing, homemade croutons and real bacon) and minestrone soup. His prices are great for the amount of food you receive. If you haven't tried Philly Cheese Jakes yet, what are you waiting for? You won't be disappointed.
Chicken enchiladas were ordered in support of the United Way Campaign…Dinner serves 6…includes 7-8 10” seasoned chicken enchiladas w/red sauce and a boatload of shredded marble cheddahhhh…and a tray of Mexican rice. Serves 6 is an understatement. Heated in the oven @ 375 for 30 mins and 5 under the broiler. Dinner was amazing and extremely filling. U can’t beat this deal so give Jake a call and order this up! 48 hrs notice is recommended Definitely worth it. Enjoy and support small local biz
Philly Cheese Jakes is a phenomenal little restaurant. I’ve had the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, it is superb and I’ve also had one of Jakes amazing creations, the taco burger, it was delicious. The food here is always great!
Restaurant quality sandwiches at a good price. Pulled pork Pedro was incredibly filling, tasted great, and was ready quickly. Owner was incredibly nice. Interior design is very welcoming and quaint, if a lot to take in at first. Highly recommend.
Owner is amazing. Put so much creative and efforts into making my food vegan. I really appreciated it greatly. I recommend that you drop by and try their foods out. BBQ sauce is spicy and amazing!!!!
Jake is incredible! As the sign says "Best Philly in Town"... Great service and really good food - made fresh as you wait. Jake always has creative specials, including this Wagyu Beef grilled cheese!
Best sandwiches ever!
Food was ok Not bad but not great Food
Best Philly Ive had hands down, now with that being said also my first Philly Ive ever had but the Bar has now been set quite high i feel. Great Lunch from Philly Cheese Jakes
Philly cheese steak was ok. Cheese sauce was ok. Price was good. 6/10 for taste and flavor. Call ahead. Takes 10 mins to make.
Owner didn t wash hands prior to handling food and no gloves
Great food friendly fellow. You sure get your moneys worth here
I am not from the area and got a recommendation to call Jake with my request. I brought a crew of 10 guys into the area for a two week project and asked him to cater lunches and suppers for us during the entire time-frame. All 10 guys agreed....10 out of 10! Selection, taste, portions, quality, ingredients, ease of communication. Jake knocked our socks off. Please dont hesitate to call this guy for any catering needs you may have. Thanks Jake, fantastic!
Went in and purchased a pulled pork sandwich, it was wickedly awesome, priced fairly and the service was spot on. Highly recommend
Tried out the Pedro. It was okayish, the flavour combination was not working for me. Pull pork, dill pickle, artificial Swiss cheese, runny sauce. But the bun ruins it, it was a large mushy hot dog bun, which was soppy and mush in 20 seconds. Sorry Jake.
To be real, I dont wanna give this place a good rating... I dont want too many people to start going! Only been a couple times, I already love it and plan to go back when Im in that part of town.
Incredible Philly Sandwiches. I eat these until my eyes roll back and I foam at the mouth in a gluttenous frenzied rage. Would highly recommend.
The owner goes above and beyond to deliver phenomenal food and customer service. Probably went about 10 times when I lived in Sarnia and have had absolutely no complaints. Even after he removed the Big Juan from the menu, he would still make it for me if I gave him a phonecall in advance. The owner is also quite active in the community and has a big heart!
Friendly owner, good food, good prices.
Mmmmmmazing sandwich!! Ordered the 1/2 lb Philly and OMG, so loaded with meat it was hard to finish. Hot, fresh and oh so delicious. Great service, food made fast. Definitely get in here and try one of these sandwiches...will be back soon
Too good...
Been awhile since Id been there. Like years, but it was a great as I remember. Ill be going back on a more regular basis.
Dude is great. Called me sir. Lol. Would suggest everyone should stop in and try something on his menu .
amazing owner, amazing sandwiches & food.
Hey Jake, your pork chop in a bun is quite possibly one of the best things since sliced bread. Delicious, i would highly recommend this to everyone. Nice one.
Best pulled pork in town, and always something new to try

10/10 best philly I ve ever had in my life. The owner was a gem too!
Jake is great guy. Good food every time. Best Phillies around.
First time customer; did off menu items but Jake was great so helpful and great customer service. Roast beef was amazing. They also have footlong dogs - add chili and cheese. Nachos or pulled pork everything is great. They also do a fresh meal plan, for you to order by the friday for delivery on sunday evening, never frozen meals for the week.
Great Philly Cheese!! Amazing roast beef! Thanks Jake & Tanya!! Honorable mention for Ruby.
Best Philly I have ever had. And thank you for the best hospitality.

Absolutely amazing philly cheese steak sandwiches. They are a must try when in Sarnia.
Excellent food and excellent service!!
Great foot longs friendly service 1st time there will be back
Awesome food and always entertaining!
Hidden gem, solid sandwiches.
Been here twice and the food was delicious and hes super friendly but both times I went he did not wash his hands before preparing the food after having a smoke and handling cash! Unfortunately because of this I will not be back.
Finally had a chance to try this place. Jake is super friendly and has mastered his craft in my opinion. Yeah the place is a bit old and everything, but I was here for the food and he delivered. Talked with me passionately about his menu selection and the business. The food itself was sooo tasty I ll definitely be back!
Great food always fresh !
As usual the Philly was amazing!!
Best Philly cheese steak outside of Philly!
Awesome
You get good value for your Jake because theres a lot of Jake to give. I heard some people have been getting sloppy Jakes, but my Jake was prepared just right with a fresh t-shirt and a swag hat. The hat sealed the deal for me. I highly recommended this restaurant.
Love it! Had the pulled pork and the only problem was trying to eat it all. Best bang for my brick in A LONG time!!!!
Just had a chilli cheese dog and it was fantastic!!! The chilli is texas style (no beans) and has great flavors. The owner offered a sample of his hot sauce and it was hands down some of the best hot sauce Ive ever had. Lots of flavor and just enough heat that you know its there but does not overpower the rest of the food. This is a must try for anyone who passes through Sarnia!!!
Great food. Amazing guest service. Highly recommended.
Best cheeze steak ive ever had and folks who work there are funny and easy going.
Jake is super friendly and the food is delicious. His homemade hot sauce is top notch
A must go to.. Always great food and a jakes a pleasure
The Philly Cheesesteak is to die for. Well worth the price. Service was excellent
If youre hungry and want a good fill, this is a place to go. Thanks Jake!
By far the most delicious Jake Ive ever had. Had more grease than the actual sandwich, I just wanted to lean over the counter and chew his flesh like margarine. I concur he could use a change of clothes, but I believe the moisture and crisp texture only adds to the experience.
New menu!
Great sdr
The cheese steak is good but personally the footlong hotdogs are the best reminds me of Toronto in the 1990s.
Great guy great food even better place to eat
Tops my list for small business sandwich shops. Sandwich lives up to the name
As a diverse and well educated individual I came across this hidden gem called Philly Cheese Jake s. After thoroughly researching and choosing this establishment it is safe to say I have made one of the best decisions of my life. I will continue my career as a sandwich critic travelling across Ontario to leave more reviews.
The food is the best!!!
Best place for some delicious food, great company, and amazing service!!!
Amazing food! Super quick, hot and absolutely delicious!
Food was amazing, only reason for three stars is dirty bathroom that isnt cleaned often and the inside isnt that nice. Food wise great.
Best in town!!! You can taste the difference Jakes love of his food makes.
Great food. Great prices. You have to go and eat there
It was ok. It was a huge portion and great value. I thought it was bland and Im not the biggest fan of pump cheese.
Friendy atmosphere. Great food. Try the deli sandwiches !
Owner is nice but needs to clean himself up before preparing food. Also needs to spend less time on social media begging for customers. Food is just ok, nothing healthy, just big portions and lots of empty calories.
Awesome cheese steaks, he also has pork, footlong hotdogs and subs. Small place so just take out. Jake is a great guy too.
Great food~ not shy on portions
Delicious and great service.
Amazing food!!! You gotta try it!!
Awesome philly. Burger was less awesome but not bad.
Run down looking, old school, rustic looking joint. But the food packs a good hard punch to your taste buds.
Amazing!! Great friendly owner, awesome food.. try the Pedro Porko
Been here 3 times and tried 3 different menu items and theyve all been amazing.
This body was built on Philly cheese Jakes
Amazing food and awesome service. I recommend the Pedro Porko it will blow you taste buds away. Also the jumbo foot long chilli dog are a close second to the Pedro Porko
The food is awesome, the portions are huge and the price is very reasonable. The staff are very accommodating if your a picky eater or have food restrictions. You cant go wrong with the Pedro Porko, never had another sandwich like it. Wish I had discovered this place years ago!
Friendly service ample portions and delicious food creations. If you are looking for salad this is not the place to go. If you like BBQ this is the spot. Flavors are amazing
Always good
Great food, friendly service, and always a chance to talk about local sports and politics makes it feel like home.
Great food and conversation!!
Great
Friendly staff and great food for the buck. I got the classic Philly cheese steak and it was delicious. Get a fork and a lot of napkins. Your going to need it!
Great food could be the best
Excellent food. Owner is very easy going and friendly. Highly recommend eating here. And his homemade hot sauce firehouse 555 is amazing.
Cheese steak and dogs are amazing. Plus you can order thru the website.
They make amazing corn dogs and the guys are super friendly.
Awesome food. Best pulled pork Ive ever had and the Cheese Steak is even better. One of the few places that have online ordering in Sarnia, just an added bonus.
