Two friends, one sandwich worth chasing.
Philly Guys was founded by two friends brought together through a shared passion for food and culture. One founder grew up on Long Island, NY, often taking trips into Philadelphia to enjoy authentic Philly cheesesteaks. The other was born and raised in Houston but spent years making trips to the East Coast, seeking out some of the region’s most iconic spots and developing an appreciation for authentic East Coast flavor — always wanting to bring that same experience back home to Houston.
Years later, the two met at the University of Houston’s business school and bonded over their love for food and Houston’s vibrant halal scene. Seeing a gap in the Houston market for high-quality halal Philly cheesesteaks, they set out to bring the iconic East Coast classic to Texas — with a Houston spin.
Philly Guys blends authenticity with local flavor, built on a menu rooted in tradition and crafted for today’s diverse Houston community.
