Cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, PA

“Hey… we found something to eat… and we won the Series… thought you might want to know in case you weren’t watching!“

“On the recommendation of a Philly native, I went to a place called Steve’s Prince of Steaks in North Philly. The moment I walked in I was hit with a intoxicating aroma. The setting was fairly unremarkable, with stainless steele walls and painted cement floor, along with a row of barstools and a small counter, perfect for late night and early morning bar closers or the lunch crowd from the Pepsi bottling plant across the street! I sat down to eat my meal that consisted of a traditional Philly cheesesteak with fried onions cheese whiz and steak. The onions were so flavourful and the cheese whiz was almost addictive, I nearly finished it in one bite. I left this place thinking that I now know why they call it prince of steak and winner of a Guinness Book World Records winner. If I had to recommend going anywhere when you stop in Philly, it would be at this place rather than the overhyped tourist spots seen on TV and paid travel reviews. I feel like it embodies the quintessential idea of Philly, It is a true testament to Phillys traditional cuisine and really gives the city it’s nickname, the city of brotherly love and sandwiches!“

“Water ice and ice cream yummy!!!“

“Normally there is about a 7-10 min wait. When so many other stores charge you for extras like sweet and or hot peppers it's all included here.double wrapped because the sandwich is bursting at the seams.
Service was good just a bit hard to hear due to all the extra security glass!“

“Fantastic cheesesteaks! Fresh and flavorful. Loved the Old Bay fries so much! Great local place. Great service. ❤️“

“True Philly CHEESE STEAK! WIZWIT!“

“Philadelphia is home to two iconic treats that everyone must try: the Philly cheesesteak and water ice. In Old City Philadelphia, you’ll find these local delights served up just steps from the city’s historic landmarks, making them perfect for refueling while sightseeing.

The Philly cheesesteak, with its soft roll, juicy thinly sliced beef, melted cheese (often Cheez Whiz, provolone, or American), and optional fried onions, is simply unforgettable. Pair that with water ice—Philadelphia’s signature take on Italian ice, known for its smooth, creamy texture and bold fruity flavors—and you have a winning combination. These treats are especially popular on hot summer days, offering the ultimate in comfort food and refreshment.

There’s just something magical about enjoying these local favorites in the heart of Philly’s history, surrounded by sights like the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. It’s a quintessential Philly experience! This little stand is the best!!“

“Great cheesesteaks... worth the money... Price is not bad. People were nice.
My cousin came in from out of town.. I wanted to go to ginos, i told him that was a tourist attraction. I'm going to take you to an authentic cheese steak place.... Did not disappoint“

“Glad I found this place instead of the tourist spots. Sub was straight 🔥. Will visit again when I come back to Philly“
