The latest addition to the Orange food scene that has already made a big splash is Uncle Philly's Cheesesteaks... Yes, you heard right... CHEESESTEAKS!!! Whether you're an old Philly vet who remembers having a "Wiz Wit" at the Vet or a newcomer from 'round Newark who craves the double Italian dog you are always made to feel welcome at Uncle Philly's. The menu is varied with many delicious home cooked options. On a recent trip with the U of O crew we even split... Gasp!... A salad! And yet it was ample with super fresh tasting veg.
So let's talk about the theme. It's Rocky Balboa. It's Philadelphia. And it's still cool. Orange may be the proud home of the real original boxing legend Tony Galento, but the fighting spirit of the Rock is one which all of Orange can identify with. Seating is comfortable and the storefront looks out on the Valley in all of its industrial glory.
I hear Uncle Philly might just be ready to open a sports bar in the back of the place sometime soon. And it might just feature an epic mural painted by Mike Malbrough of Valley Arts. You might just have to go check it out for yourself!
Yooooo Adrian!!!
Located at 501 Central Ave near the Scotland Road Intersection.
Closed, but there's something new in there called the Southern Comfort Cafe. Banner says their website is www.soconj.com, but there's nothing there yet. Not sure if they've opened or not yet.
