Texadelphia is a chain specializing in cheesesteak sandwiches, established in 1981 in Austin, Texas by Joel Stanley, who hails from Philadelphia. The brand operates multiple outlets throughout Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, the Rio Grande Valley, and Oklahoma City. Its name is a blend of "Texas" and "Philadelphia."
The menu at Texadelphia blends traditional East Coast cheesesteaks with Tex-Mex influences and vegetarian selections, incorporating unique twists such as substituting jalapeños for bell peppers and offering customizable sauce options.
History
In 1985, the initial restaurant relocated to Guadalupe Street near the University of Texas at Austin, where it gained popularity among students and faculty until it eventually closed. A second branch opened in Austin’s Great Hills neighborhood in 1998. Due to prohibitive renovation expenses, the Guadalupe Street venue shut down in 2013.
Joel Stanley sold the company to a group of investors in 2008, at which point the headquarters were moved to Richardson, Texas. At that time, the franchise network consisted of 19 independently operated locations.
Brian Livingston was appointed president in 2015. Following this leadership change, Texadelphia streamlined its operations by closing several outlets, including those at Lakeline and one in San Antonio after three years of service. By 2024, the chain operates 11 sites across Texas and one location in Oklahoma.
