    Closed down after last night...note from the owner

    Regretfully, I must inform you that our location on Memorial Drive is no longer open for business. Ultimately, we were not able to overcome the obstacle presented by the lack of parking spaces available for our busy lunch hours. Yada, yada, yada...

    Damn...it was so close to my office

    There's still one in the village, and one up Westheimer, but take this opportunity to go to Jake's the next time you're in the mood for a cheesesteak. Texadelphia will become a distant memory shortly thereafter.

    While I totally agree that Jakes is better and much closer to the actual cheesesteaks in Philadelphia (and owned by a fellow TCU grad), Texadelphia was a great spot...their queso was awesome and hickory and mustard blend on a chicken philly was fantastic...and the location was a great in-between spot for meeting friends who work in Galleria or Downtown

    The guys that work at the one on Westheimer have stayed open for my friends and I on multiple occasions. Try there.

    But Jake's is 10x better. Try the number 1, 3, or 5. Been going there since I turned 16, very friendly staff. Just wish the kitchen didn't close at 9... :(

    Yeah this sucks. That place was literally 3 minutes from my office. We would be there roughly once a week. The queso was awesome. It will be missed.
