J. Michaels Philly Deli - Wilmington

This spot is incredible, and the real deal if you are looking for an authentic cheese steak. When I saw they bring their rolls in from Amoroso 's bakery, I knew I had to try it. Amoroso 's is famous for their rolls, supplying all of the most well known cheese steak spots in Philly. The sandwich was on point, the roll was just as good as expected, extremely soft with a nice chew to it, but the outside held up well to the greasiness of a cheese steak. Comes with onions and American cheese by default, but you can have them put anything you want on it. I tried a default order first, and then the next day I came back and ordered another one with provolone and some jalapenos and sweet peppers lol. Both were great, with nicely cooked and chopped steak and a ton of melted cheese that melts into the meat more as you eat it. The Mozzarella sticks were also very good, a nice crispy texture and the marinara had a ton of flavor. The Chicken Marinara sandwich (aka a chicken parm) was also great, but I would recommend ordering some extra marinara on the side. Meatball parm was gigantic and the roll compliments it so well. I did not try the burgers myself, but I did see a couple of them and I would say that burgers aren 't really their forte, id go with something on the Amoroso sub roll instead. Also, for those wizwit fans out there (if you know you know), I didn 't see any cheese wiz around, so i 'm not sure if they carry it, may want to give them a call and ask if that 's what you are looking for. Give them a try, it won 't disappoint.

The food was good, service was excellent. Need better utensils

Phenomenal! I hate that this place is only at the beach as they have the best Philly's in NC. Of course, this place is also worth the drive to just grab dinner as well lol. This is a must try if you are a Philly cheesesteak lover!

Never answers the phone for pick up orders and I call from open to closing

Walked in, no one in line. Placed an order for two sandwiches and two sides. After watching multiple people march in the door, order their food, sit down, AND receive their food before me I knew there was an issue. I went up to the counter to ask if they had my order and I was told they were waiting on one of my sides. I went back up to the counter after about another 10 minutes only to be told the same thing. All in all it took 45 minutes from ordering to receiving my food. On top of that the sandwiches we cold. The sad part is they didn't even apologize for the wait or the bad service. Will not return to this location.
