Yep, this is another one of those places where I fight cravings multiple times a week.
The Cajun is a great spicy cheesesteak.
Their fry game is on point as well.
The one negative I have is that I wish the cheesesteaks were bigger! If you have a big Appetite your going to consider getting a second one. And at $11 a pop w/o fries and a drink it can get pricey.
Our office is a big fan of Philly Me Up. We pick up or dine in once a month. Tip: we usually call ahead and then eat there, so we do not have to wait as long. The food is consistently good. I love the Pepper Bomb wit WHIZ!!!
Great taste and spot on! Restaurant is clean, friendly staff. My only comment is for the price point, I wish the cheesesteaks had more meat. Quality and taste though is second to none in Baton Rouge for Cheesesteaks! Great job on a great establishment!
Pretty good stuff. I tried The Original since this was my first visit. I agree with all the other reviews as far as the food and flavor. Love all the variety as well. It seems that there have been lot of customer service issues. (Considering that all the bad reviews seem to center around that). Luckily I didn't have that problem on my visit. I will say that I visited during s relatively slower time and was one of three people in the restaurant. I will definitely be back to try some other menu options.
Best cheesesteak in BR.. Santa Fe Cheesesteak is awesome.
Food is awesome! Wish I could say that about the non friendly staff..
Great food, great service, clean establishment. One thing i found weird is that they didn't have ketchup and napkins on any of the tables. and no to-go boxes. Weird.
Will go back!
Awesome Cheese steaks. BEST CHEESE STEAKS THIS SIDE OF PHILLY!!! very reasonable prices for what you get!! try the queso bites for an appetizer, they are great!!
I got the Cajun and it was very moist and spicy. Also bought the fries and some side cheese sauce. Very good for $10. More items to choose from than South of Philly.
Also, they used thick cuts of steak....good looking steak and most importantly.... the staff was not rude
We tried this place on the way home to Texas from Florida. Fantastic Philly cheesesteaks! Nice location, clean, great stop! Highly recommend this place!
Great staff and good food. Best prices and best cheese steak in town!
Great food. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Makes my dog go crazy when he smells the bag.

One of my faves in BR. Let me start by saying - the primary reason I signed up for an urbanspoon account is so I could write a review of PMU - no lie! I hit this place like clockwork about once a week, though I normally don't eat out a lot, otherwise. The cheesesteaks here are phenomenal and hands-down the best in BR or anywhere else for that matter (If you're a 'fry person,' the fries here are also much better than SofP). Not to bad-mouth South of Philly, but these sandwiches are WAY better and muchcheaper, and the staff here is super-friendly. I don't know about you, but I don't mind paying for a quality product, particularly if the people are nice and take care of their customer base. I truly look forward to seeing the staff of PMU and genuinely hope for the prosperity of the restaurant. I know it sounds like I am part-owner here, but I assure you I am not - just an avid fan! My girlfriend - who is pretty much a healthnut - even craves these awesome cheesesteaks! The only con I can think of (and trust me, the staff is aware) is that they close a bit early and aren't open on Sundays. Sometimes I need my cheesesteak fix after a long weekend! Do you yourself a favor and go by and see Josh & Co. You won't regret it - trust me!
Absolutely great!. Best philly cheese this side of philly... correction: best philly cheese, period! love it. perfect blend of steak, onion and cheese. no sauce necessary. great folks too! just wish they stayed open a little later so I could stop by on my way home from work.
Kristy L.. I thought it was far better than South of Philly. I loved it
Yummiliciousness. I love their cheesesteaks. Always good and juicy. My only wish would be that they found a way to stay open past 7:00 p.m. at night - sometimes we eat late and would like to have them as an option.
Lots of meat on philly cheesesteak, and juicy. Very good!
Philly me up is Located in a little retail shopping strip on Jefferson Hwy, near Drusilla in Baton rouge, LA. Family Run operation, cozy little place. Staff and SUPER friendly and will help you pick out a menu item if you are a first timer. They have an extensive selection of cheese steak sandwiches, wraps, salads and sides.

Cheese Steaks are the culinary icon of Philadelphia. The sandwich represents to them what the poboy means to New Orleans. There is culture, creativity, passion, and pizazz all sandwiched between a roll of bread. And like the poboy, there are many differen
Definitely one of the best Phillies in the area! I had The Cajun with fries. It had grilled steak, grilled onions, jalapeños, pepper jack cheese, Chipotle mayo, and Tony Chachere's. All the flavors came together perfectly. Voodoo is next up on the list!!
Philly Me Up has the best cheesesteaks I have ever had. Granted, I have never been to Philly. However, I have tried many cheesesteaks and theirs have been my favorite. I especially love the Cajun, and the Santa Fe is quite good as well. You may wait a little bit be ause everything is made to order, and they can get quite busy at lunch. But trust me, it's worth it. I usually order for pick up, because they are crazy hot, and so it stays hot while I drive back to work. Also keeps me from having to wait much.
Searched high and low for the best Philly in the area, and this place is the winner for me. I go out of my way often to come here and stop by whenever I’m in the area. Don’t forget to grab some baklava!
Best Philly in Baton Rouge. The Philly Cheesesteak will get you there and the service will have you coming back. Josh and his crew have it going on.
This has been my favorite philly cheese steak place since I tried it in 2005. On average I probably eat here once a week. The food is great. Everyone working there is always pleasant to deal with. The owners are great people. I recommend this place to everyone and look forward to eating here for many years to come.
Love to stop in here for a good Philly cheesesteak. They need to bring back Texas Pete Hot Sauce on all of the tables.
