Damn. Damn. Damn.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We say a fond goodbye to Phi-lly Cheese Steaks & Things<\/a>. The restaurant was located at 1050 Riverside Drive at the former site of Fender’s Restaurant and Rax.<\/p>\n

We reviewed the restaurant here on SouthsideCentral and it was a terrific place to eat<\/a>. The main problem was that the restaurant was in a bad location on Riverside Drive. There was almost no chance for people to impulsively stop into there for a meal because the restaurant was hard to see and they didn’t have great name recognition.<\/p>\n

The owners did a lot to try to attract customers. They simplified the menu, dropped some prices and even went to $5 cheesesteak sandwiches for a three-month period. It just wasn’t enough.<\/p>\n

I’m gonna miss this place.<\/p>\n
