With the BOGO 50 % off + free lemonade over $20…. A combo of 2x cheese steak w/fries and 2x lemonades is just over $20. Everything was hearty and tasty!

Babas is where you can find one of the original places that sell the most famous Philly steak sandwich’s! Better than Philly actually 🤭

The service was horrible. I waited 20 mins with very lite traffic for lunch. They cant cook multi orders. After a long wait my order still was correct

The worse one yet! They give Babas a bad rep. Food gone take at least an hour, food look raw, workers RUDE and after you waited all that time, the food nasty and undercooked

My food tasted old.. especially the fries… the gyro was like warm, and they chopped up my meat instead of the slices you would expect.. like it was left overs.. I’m a little pissed but I k Lu have a 30 min lunch and they don’t do refunds they just do new orders which I didn’t have time for.. I won’t eat at this one again…
