THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE STEAKS
KEVIN & NICOLE O’BRIEN
From Philadelphia roots to Southwest Florida, we’re proud to bring the cheesesteaks we love to our community.
In 1976, I left England and landed in Philadelphia — a city that doesn’t just welcome you, it breaks you in. I didn’t speak the language of “wit or witout,” didn’t know the Birds, and had never heard of a cheesesteak. That changed fast.
My first summer there, I got a job bagging groceries and found myself wandering into a pizza joint next door called Mimmo’s. While everyone else ordered slices, I ordered a cheesesteak. One bite later, I was hooked for life, and literally ate one every day for the rest of that summer.
Philly got into my blood — the grit, the pride, the loyalty. Over the years, I’ve chased cheesesteaks everywhere, from hole-in-the-wall spots to local legends. My sons, Gavin and Aidan, caught the same bug — always searching for the best one, always comparing every bite to that first one.
When Nicole and I moved to Naples, we realized something was missing. No one down here was serving the real thing — not the Florida version, the Philly version. So, we decided to change that. Cheesesteaks.com started with a simple goal: bring the taste of Philly to the Gulf Coast, no shortcuts.
What began as a food truck quickly became a local obsession. Then came our first shop in Naples, where we serve every sandwich the same way we’d serve it to family — real ribeye, real rolls, real love.
That journey has continued through Bonita Springs and Fort Myers. Different cities, same mission: to make every bite remind you why Philly will always be the home of the cheesesteak.

Cheesesteak.com definitely has the best cheesesteaks in SWFL. Being a Philly girl, I know what a good sandwich tastes like and have tried most of the sandwiches they call a “cheesesteak” they done compare!

The best cheesesteaks made possible by the great people who own and work there even though they root for Philly teams

Went to Bar215 in Bonita Springs on our way to a comedy show. We have been at the other
Cheesesteaks.Com locations so we wanted to try this one out. Since the owners are originally from Philly and we were also close to Philly originally, I have to say this place is spot on. Get a cheesesteak and a cold draft beer and dinner is served.
Décor is all about Philly, and IFYKYK. Our server Julie was very nice and accommodating. I believe it is called Bar 215 is because it is an alcoholic bar and the Philly area code is 215, but that’s not confirmed. We will definitely be back when in the area. See less
