Cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, PA

“Great atmosphere, as a Philly Cheesesteak connoisseur, I say this place is definitely top 5. I got a plain steak sandwich with regular bread, white American cheese, mushrooms, and grilled peppers. Everything was cooked to perfection. The spicy pickles were good too! Will definitely go back!“

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

“Friendly and professional staff, answered all my questions politely. My cheesesteak was everything I hoped for and more. Steak was tender, perfect amount of cheese, bread was firm outside (but didn’t hurt my mouth after every bite) and soft inside, and it came out HOT. Hopefully ownership can get a bigger place one day and have a bigger restroom (dare I say two restrooms?).

Most impressive part is that I came on a Monday, so I was fearful I wouldn’t get quality service and food. This place lives up to the hype! Highly recommend!“

“You probably won't have high expectations when you roll up to this place as it isn't fancy, but don't judge a book by its cover. I made the horrible mistake of eating at Pat's the other day, and the meat tasted like shoe leather. This little joint served up a perfectly seasoned hot cheesesteak and a great milkshake - I'll definitely be back.“

“What an absolutely legendary cheesesteak! As someone who has eaten more cheesesteaks than any normal human should comsume, I daresay this missile of a sandwich was the best I've ever had. Fried onions, peppers, and mushrooms, and all 3 cheeses. The food came fast, the service was excellent, and the pricing was exactly where it needs to be, especially considering tye quality of the food these people are churning out. The portion size was perfect for a hearty fat man such as myself. This will now ALWAYS be the place I go for the most unctuous, velvety cheesesteaks. My life is forever changed.“

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

“YESSS OMG I miss their food BEST place to eat wings and cheesesteaks, but they moved, dont know where to“

“The chicken quesadilla with cheese and spinach and peppers 🙌🏾omg chicken was well done and juicy baby they got this sauce 🙌🏾🙌🏾 and them Chesse steak rolls 💯💯💯“

“We used the Steve’s food truck for the end of our wedding night and it was perfect! The guests loved it! The guys were great! 👍🏻 10/10 recommend!“

“Best I had in Philadelphia.“

“Best place for a cheese steak but to tell the truth all their sandwiches are fantastic. And they are always adding newer items. Always the best quality too! While most restaurants may not be as good as they used to be, it is the opposite for Tony & Nick's. They started at a very high level and seemed to exceed it.“

“I’ve NEVER been to a cheesesteak place that doesn’t have lettuce and tomato for steak sandwiches. Therefore, it’s not for me. 👎🏽 #iWantedAcheesesteakHoagie“

“Loved it!“

“True Philly CHEESE STEAK! WIZWIT!“

“We traveled to Hershey, Pennsylvania for the Labor Day Week/Weekend from North Carolina. We tried a couple other cheese-steaks, by far Sonny’s Cheese Steaks were the best! Hope to one day make the 8 1/2 hour trip again! Fries were good too wit wiz!“

“Small walk-in sandwich shop that serves up big tastes! Their cheese steaks are excellent! While some places rely on their choice of bread to carry their cheese steaks, Jim's West puts it all out there with their meat. The juicy, delicious flavor of every bite reminds you who's the star. They also make a homemade banana pudding that you have to come back for! Don't be off if you see thru the door a lot of ppl squeezed inside waiting. Beside the kitchen area, there's little room but to order and move along with the line to pickup and pay. The employees are really fun and eager to serve, and work hard to keep things going and deliver good food. I'd definitely would return.“

“Sat at the bar and the bartender was super friendly. Always great to have an experience like that in an airport“

“Had my first Water Ice, Lemon, here while we were touring the area. Fantastic! The gentleman that ran the cart was friendly nad hooked my right up, even though he was in the middle of a boat load of Cheesesteak orders. If I had had room for another Cheesesteak I definitely would have ordered one of his, they looked and smelled incredible. His usual spot is right there on the corner of 6th & Market and it's a great unofficial Ambassador to the city and it's local flavors. If you're going to visit Philly, this is a good stop to plan on.“

“Prices are very reasonable. Staff is very friendly. I’m deaf and both windows were good at getting me my order and food. I’ll be back!“

“Small sub shop around Penns Landing and I am glad we stopped to get some real Philly cheesetakes to bring DMV...
South Philly is the best so far and stayed hot even after a couple of hour drive.

Definitely stop by again and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a real Philly cheesestakes.“

“Great place steaks burgers fries and shakes a go to spot!“

“My husband and I were in town visiting our son. This was definitely an authentic cheese steak. My son had the mushroom and hubby and I shared a mushroom and added hot/sweet peppers with Swiss cheese. My husband is GF and they made ours in a bowl with lettuce and tomato. We also ordered curly fries. Everything was delish and seasoned nicely. Looks like a party store, but step inside and eat in or take-out. It was a great way to begin our Philly visit.“

“You have to pass thru at least 5 times a week.... I enjoyed the cheesesteak with fresh chips. The chips always come late.“

“The best cheesesteak in the area for sure. Bread was soft the meat was perfectly cooked juicy as heck and not dry next time I’ll get extra cheese but it doesn’t need it! Barely needed ketchup. Perfectly fried crinkle cut fries (my fav). Also got the salmon cheesesteak egg roll and it was delicious I just wish it had a dip like some spicy ketchup or something but it was juicy and seasoned. Above all else the owners are black and super friendly ppl. Definitely will be back for more. Oh and it was about $16 for everything very affordable unlike these pizza places charging $15 for a dry ass cheesesteak with over cooked meat.“

“I had family in from Connecticut. Our plan was to do DiLasandro's but...you can't eat inside and it's a 45 minute wait. We went across the street to Chuby's. We were not disappointed! The cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks were great! And...the fries...the best I've had in a long time...crispy and delicious! If you insist on DiLasandro's...waiting 45 minutes and then going somewhere to eat it...I understand. However, if you want to sit down...and have fries with ZERO wait for a table...(DiLasandro's only has bags of chips) go for it. But...to me...I'd give Chubby's a 4!!!“

“We used the Steve’s food truck for the end of our wedding night and it was perfect! The guests loved it! The guys were great! 👍🏻 10/10 recommend!“

“I live not too far from Larry's steaks o. 9th and Girard. Im a Phillycat born and raised and I've been across country and to Alaska. This is hands down one of the best steak places to go in philly! And there are a few little hood jaws, up in the cut but good a** food. No doubt stop in and grab something in day or late night they the spot. I usually order a classic cheese steak and fries, cheese burger and fries, or a steak stromboli. Which I got a small and felt Hella greedy cause it was so fargin big! I thought they gave me a large by mistake?! The prices are higher than the poppy store of course but well worth it. Check them out asap if your down to f up some good a** food ok lates people“

“The owner and staff greeted us with a great big smile and then we picked out what looked to be my favorite—buffalo chicken. I knew this pizza looked like it was the perfect consistency, but I wasn’t sure yet if the taste would measure up. It had the perfect amount of cheese and just the right hint of ranch sauce—oh, so good! The plain slice took me right back to my hometown pizza shop in both taste and consistency. We are super picky about our pizzas, with Brooklyn’s best being among my faves. I am telling you that this place is the best hidden gem in Philly for pizza! You have to try it!“

“Food was pretty good ? As I traveled here, I didn’t know what to expect because I don’t know of any good , cheap food spots in this exact area right off the Blvd. Ain’t the best part of Philadelphia but there is security cameras inside & the 2 staff members were nice . I ate half of the platter first & gave my stomach some time to decide if it agreed. The cheesesteak was hot & I asked for crispy fries & they were .
For the food you get , the prices are CHEAP. Like 2019 cheap. Leave a TIP the place is ?in the rough.“

“One of the best chicken cutlet sandwiches around with broccoli rabe.“

“Awesome guy behind the counter. Professional respectful and courteous. In this type of neighborhood most business try to treat me in such a way I'm never happy with. I prefer to be treated according to my demeanor not on the unpleasant experiences they have had with the type of people in the neighborhood. Not this man. He has good customer service skills and was raised right by someone great. Thanks Mr. I'll catch your name next time. ✌ out“

“The classic Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich is really delicious, the texture of the meat with pieces of sweet onion accompanied by cheese sauce on a soft and spongy bread, it was truly a delight, I loved it, the delicious potatoes were shocking and just right.

The attention of the staff was excellent, all very friendly.

The atmosphere and in general very good, highly recommended if you go to Philadelphia.“
