Youz Guyz South Philly Cheesesteaks is a casual, no-frills spot nestled in Universal City, TX, offering up a distinctly Philadelphia-style experience through its menu and atmosphere. This isn’t just another sandwich shop—it's a corner of Philly pride transported to South Texas, filled with memorabilia ranging from Rocky Balboa posters to local football tributes, giving the space a warm, nostalgic vibe that locals and visitors with East Coast ties will appreciate.

The restaurant focuses primarily on cheesesteaks made with your choice of chicken or beef, served on authentic Amoroso’s hoagie rolls—a nod to true Philly sandwich craftsmanship. You’ll find classic takes featuring provolone, white American, or the iconic Cheez Whiz, with the option for cooked or raw onions. Beyond cheesesteaks, the menu branches out to hearty sub options like meatball parmesan and hot Italian sausage, alongside sides such as onion rings and “dirty” fries loaded with toppings. For a touch of sweetness, you can finish off with traditional Italian treats like cannoli or funnel fries.

Visitors typically drop in for a quick, filling lunch or casual dinner and can expect friendly service that’s in tune with the local community vibe. The place attracts a mix of people looking for comfort food with a Philly twist—some are East Coast transplants craving a slice of home, while others discover it as a refreshing change from typical deli spots in the area. The décor filled with Philadelphia sports and cultural references adds a conversational backdrop for fans and curious eaters alike.

One thing to keep in mind is that while the quality of meat and bread stands out, seasoning can feel a bit subtle for those seeking a more robust flavor punch reminiscent of Philadelphia’s original joints. This softer approach may suit some palates better but might leave others wanting a bit more bite. The best time to visit is when you want a relaxed, informal meal that pairs well with browsing the vintage-style walls or catching up with friends over a cold soda.

Whether you’re ordering a classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich combo or trying something like the pizza steak sandwich, Youz Guyz offers a straightforward, approachable take on a regional specialty, delivered with a local Texas hospitality twist. It’s a spot that appreciates its roots and shares that enthusiasm in every sandwich and corner of its dining room.

Another 1st for usThis place is so cool. Quanit with a lot of Rocky Balboa memorabilia, the food is fabulous. I had a Nathan hot dog with grilled onions and green peppers. Hubby also got the Boom -a-Latti beef meat combo it does look yummy smells good. Plus lots of football pictures. Very friendly, and we will be back to just sit in and enjoy our food while it's still warm. Thank you.

Cute place! There's tons of Philadelphia memorabilia on the walls which was fun to look at. The cheese steak itself seemed very under seasoned for me personally. It was enjoyable, the meat was good quality but I was expecting way more flavor. My husband is from Philly and he agreed that it was bland. Overall a good experience, just maybe not the complete nostalgia/Philly experience you might be expecting.

OMG This place is a Gem !! My love brought me here for a Saturday lunch . I had been in search of a Good Philly Cheesesteak . I have searched all over and not one has ever satisfied that craving I had in mind. Well my search is over !! This place is hands down the best The staff/ owners in which I learned is the Godson of Gino's Philly Cheesesteaks in Philly ! They're bread I learned is from the bakery in Philly. I heard the entire menu is absolutely Amazing!! Don't miss out on this Gem I promise you won't leave disappointed

I haven't been here in a few years but I can never get tired of a piece of home. As a south "Jersey Boy" it's always a pleasure seeing ppl wearing my beloved Eagles in Texas! I grabbed two combos (one with American and one with provolone) and was out in pretty decent time. The steaks were filling, but needed some seasoning. Honestly speaking, if I purchased sandwiches only ($11.99 per), I think they should be bigger based on price.... however, the the combo (sandwiche, fries, canned drink) price of $13.99 is definitely worth the price of admission. All in all, I'll definitely be back and if you're in the area stop by and support a small business!!

1st time visit, they recommended there famous philly cheesesteak combo. Love all the police, 1st responders, military patches throughout the restaurant. Lived in the area last 7yrs now an have always past Youz Guyz, heading to Randolph AFB. Glad I stopped in finally to enjoy some delicious food. Very friendly staff, knowledgeable and helpful.

Loved this place, from the atmosphere to the food and people. I’ve been looking for a good cheesesteak here in San Antonio, and being from PA, I can tell you that theirs are legit Philly Cheesesteaks, they even have Cheese Whiz! And the homemade chips are amazing, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy chips from a bag the same way after having theirs! I will definitely be back! Oh, and don’t forget to grab a cannoli or two for later.
