“I’ve been to several Philadelphia cheesecake spots in the past few years that I have been coming. FYI I’m from the DC. And I have to say that from all the Philly cheesesteak spots that I have tried. This one is the BEST.. and DIRT dessert they have is Crack!“
“This is my first time in Philly so it’s my first time trying cheesesteaks. I’ve tried the two “kings” (Geno’s and Pat’s). After seeing my Geno’s wrapper, the valet at the hotel told me I needed to try the cheesesteak at Oh Brothers. Well, the valet was correct. Oh Brother has a much better cheesesteak. For review sake I kept it simple with all my orders. “Wiz with” (cheese wiz with onions) the Oh Brother steak was much more flavorful, actually had seasoning and the bread is perfectly soft. Those other sandwiches obviously have their place, but if you sat these three sandwiches in front of me, I’m going to choose the Oh Brother steak every time. I will also mention I ordered this sandwich through DoorDash and it was still the best. Their shakes are also really good.“

“Old school steak and soda shop reminiscing from the past but still is good today. This place makes me very happy. The egg cream is great. The cheese steaks are very delicious, and the people who work there are very friendly. The hot dogs are very tasty. I can't get enough of this place! You have me your customers for the rest of my life.“
“This was my first 'real' cheesesteak since moving up north, and I understand why you guys all talk about them so much. It was great.This was a monster of a sandwich too. My boyfriend and I split it, and I could barely finish my half. The fries were great, but I wish we'd gotten onion rings after seeing them on someone else's table lol. Next time!“
“Delicious! Only had their cheesesteak here, which was very unique. Their non-seeded hoagie roll was also fresh and tasty. The cherry pepper mayo used may get a little overwhelming as there's a lot going into this steak. I ordered online on a late Monday afternoon and took about 10 minutes for two to be made. Will gladly come back.Parking: Street parking on both sides. 2 and 3 hour paid parking available depending on time. Free after posted times.“
“Food served fresh and hot. The amount of meat and cheese was perfect. The Philly cheese steak tasted as expected and the size was good compared to price. Went there on the weekend so it was not that busy. There's room for improvement on customer service. Recommended for small to medium size groups. They have two floors and also different sitting arrangements.Parking: Roads are busy so plan ahead if you are planning to park.“
“I’ve been coming here for years as a student at temple university! It’s one of the places that I enjoy going too and always rave about. The pizza never disappoints, and the slices are good for what you pay! Never disappointed. I usually get a plain, margarita, or a buffalo chicken. Today I got a buffalo chicken with my friend and we both enjoyed it!“
“Awesome food in Philly, glad it was our first stop in the city for food, the Philly cheesesteak is phenomenal, very well seasoned and juicy ribeye, fries were great as well. The service is awesome! Do yourself a favor as well and get the fruity pebble milkshake as a treat after dinner! Thank you for the hospitality!“
“So I recently discovered this place looking for lunch for work. The first time I ordered from here I got a cheesesteak, cheese waffle fries and a slice of bbq pizza. Now, the fries were good, they give a great portion for a small. The cheesesteak would’ve been great also but someone was a little heavy handed with the salt shaker and they kind of blew the taste for me. Don’t get me wrong, it was good but the overpowering of the salt kind of ruined it but i still ate it. Last is the slice of pizza. That was delicious, i just wish they would keep it in a bit longer so the crust can get a little crispier. It was the first thing i ate and had to peel the crust off to eat with every bite i took. Overall, it's a cool laid back place. I would still recommend it to those who are looking for a pizza place downtown. They also have some desserts in the fridge that look absolutely appetizing. Oh, the macadamia nut cookies are out of this worlddddd!“
“This is my second time ordering delivery from Jacks and the second time I am beyond happy. Both times my food was so hot it had to cool down for me to eat it.I would confidently say this is the best cheesesteak in the area.I’ve also had the chicken parm sandwich and fries both also above the average standard of almost any other place around here.“
“There was a group of 7 women and we had just left the Katt Williams Comedy Show heading back to Maryland, so most of us wanted just a little something to hold us over and since it was late night. So my Cuz saw pizzeria in the name and said let's stop there. The rest is 'Delicious History' thank you Lil' Trent and the 2 other gentleman that were cooking. The group ordered pizza, fries, steak subs, and chicken subs, but they also had a salmon sub. I will be scheduling a drive up to Philly soon just to try that salmon sub; which will be a difficult choice considering my chicken cheese sub was the best I've ever had in my 57 yrs. We all was very very pleased with everything we ordered. There was a wait even that late at night, but a well worth it wait. We actually was 1 of 3 of the last customers that were there waiting and we closed the restaurant down with a personal shot out to Lil' Trent as he locked up. Huge Kudos to the 3 man staff that was holding it down and representing on Sunday night-4/7/24.?????? ???????Parking: We were lucky to park almost right in front, but large group, so some stayed in van.“
“First time here since the business name changed. Sandwiches are an excellent value and quality continues to be superb. I love the new sesame seed roll option. Chicken cutlet italian had perfectly cooked tender broccoli rabe and punchy sharp provolone. The cheesesteak hoagie glistened and looked amazing! We will keep returning to satisfy all our cheesesteak and cutlet sandwich cravings.“
“The food was good. I bought a cheese steak. It was packed with meat. The guy who waited on me was very nice. The one employee who was sitting down answering the phone sounded rude to some of the customers calling asking where their food was.“
“Top notch service! Location was a close walk to other attractions in the area. Staff were all super friendly, and the food is amazing! Three of us ordered cheese steaks, all three of us loved them! They were the best we have ever had! Also ordered a grilled cheese which was thoroughly enjoyed as well. Seating within the restaurant can be a little challenging, but did not dampen our experience at all. Definitely stop if you are in the area!“
“I would say this is the best cheese steak in philadelphia especially if you want it quick and you want to watch them chop it up. It’s a must have philadelphia experience if you never tried a cheese steak. Don’t go to geno’s or pats come here. The best locations are off bustleton or Comly.“
“My boyfriend and I used to live right around the corner from Pasha’s and loved it for lunch or a delicious, filling dinner. We moved to a different part of the city but went tonight for takeout.Not only was the food delicious (falafel is always so incredible) and the portions are huge, they remembered me when I walked in the door! They asked me how I was, asked about my partner, and even let us take one of their delicious desserts as an extra! It put such a huge smile on my face!Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the area, 10/10 food AND service!“
“I am a local and I visit Jimmy’s very often! Multiple times a week. The service is always fast and friendly. The water ice is some of the best in south Philly and the pizza pretzel is my go to for a quick bite to eat. I highly recommend jimmys water ice!!“
“I don't mean to ding the atmosphere, but LoL..Let's face it. This isn't Barclay Prime. I drove an hour to get here and was happy parking was easy. Steaks were cooked to order (One NY American, one Cooper.) Staff was efficient, but didn't rush. They seasoned and blended the steaks expertly, and lightly heated the excellent fresh N. Jersey seeded rolls (similar to Sarcone's. ) Beef had no gristle, and we left too full to try Carmella's (nearby competition.) Have had VERY few steaks that were better. They are in the top echelon.“
“Best cheesesteak ever. Come from Boston 1-2x a year and me and my team always visit this place. Superb from the meat to the bun and cheese. Fries are good too. I can’t eat any other cheesesteak anywhere.Bonus outdoor seating on a nice day - clean too.“
“This was the highest rated cheesesteak joint near my hotel and I can't say that I was disappointed! The shop is a hole in the wall and it might not look like the best place for cheesesteaks since they've got pizzas by the slice waiting at the counter. After my first bite, I was impressed! The steak was juicy, the "cheese whiz" (melted nacho cheese) gave the sandwich a touch more moisture, and the bun was fresh, soft and chewy. The fries were a good addition that made it a huge and filling meal!“
“Want some great food without the huge price??? This is the spot. The burgers are seriously ?!!! The guy behind the counter was super friendly and helpful for a first-timer. The place is small but super fun and bonus points for having streetlight manifesto on when I walked in!!! Won't be my last time here!“
“Super delicious cheesesteaks and sandwiches. Everything on the menu is Halal. They are closed during Friday prayer, which makes me respect them even more!!!I have ordered delivery several times and each time food is packed perfectly, and I honestly re use the bag they deliver the food:))“
“We went here for a quick bite and weren't disappointed. We had a chicken and a beef Philly. Both of those were huge sandwiches for the money! The beef one was chipotle and it was quite delicious but very spicy. So if you a looking for a little kick I would highly recommmend it. We also had old bay fries which had the potential to be good but they were so dang salty. They come with cheese whiz, but it doesn't help how salty they are. Lastly we got a cheese pizza. That was mid at best. Almost no cheese on it and a mediocre sauce. The place does have seating in the back despite how it looks, it just ordering was slightly confusing because they had a sign over a tablet that said order here but you really should order at the countertop because the tablet doesn't have all the options of things you could order like drinks or slices. Overall though a really good place to grab a bite, excellent staff and good food!“
“Nice little stop to grab a coffee and a quick bite. Everyone is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy coffee house vibes without the pretentious or hipster feel. There are always coffee concoction specials that pair perfectly with the various pastries they offer.“
“Best little hole in the wall mom and pop style deli. I’ve had their cheesesteaks, hoagies, and breakfast sandwiches, all fantastic. They also have a few grocery type items if you need something, I haven’t yet but nice to know it’s there just in case. Workers are all very nice and the food is always made to order. So glad this place exists!“
“*Tourists* hometowner's like myself know "Pat's" and "Geno's* cheese steaks are TRASH!!!!!!! GOOEY LOOIES has the best Cheeese Steaks in Philly, hands down!!!!! The meat is high quality, juciey, real steak that's flavorful and packed on those soft and resh steak rolls....and plenty of American cheese is melted into it....GOOEY LOOIES is just like the name says: GOOEY! And that's a good thing. I didn't even have Mayo on mine because with the steak juice and the ketch up it was perfectly GOOEY. I will never buy a cheese steak or Italian hoagie from anywhere else because of how deliciously tasty theirs is!!!!! I didn't even have to request "PEPPERED HAM" for my Italian Hoagie which if not offered on it is a hanious mistake and says something about the establishment that you are visiting. The corner store hommieness was so appropriated ill be back often I predict. Got my mom a seafood salad hoagie, she loved it....my dad, I brought him a corned beef one and he's jumping for joy!“
“This is the best sandwich shop in the Philly area. It’s attached to the Home Depot store n Bustleton ave. It’s hard to believe there isn’t a line out the door. I believe it’s due to the large Ukrainian population in the area.“

“Penrose Cheesesteaks makes delicious food! They have everything you can think of. From Cheesesteaks, Burgers, Wings and Cajun seafood they have it! Plus, the service is quick and awesome and never had a bad order. I would recommend this place.“
“Delicious breakfast, affordable, and the chefs/staff are all wonderful. Love the breakfast platter, but the breakfast sandwiches are also fantastic. Also the cheesesteak on a seeded roll is really one of the best in Philly and the cutlet hoagies are so good. Cozy and comforting, it’s just a great place.Vegetarian options: Lots of great veggie breakfast options and a few lunch hoagie options for vegetarians, too! Plus homemade soups.Kid-friendliness: Lots of families here, has options that almost all kids will be open to!“
“Today my best friend and I had finished a workout and wanted a salad , I googled a place nearby that would have them and this place stood out based off the website and reviews I could tell they had good and also affordable options for lunch. We both got a toss grilled chicken salad , and it was so good ! Just what we needed after our hard work at the gym . We got the special which was a salad . A side of garlic bread and a drink. I’ll definitely be back in the future“
“I thought this place was closed all this time. Wow. No long talking, I give my cheese steak a 6.5/10. It's giving "papi store" with the soft bread, I know people love that style. The cheese fries blew my mind away. And I'm literally about to order some again (a few days later). Idk y'all, it's really something about that wiz. Delicious!“
“I got the vegetarian sandwich and usually a caprese style sandwich gets soggy or has too much balsamic... not this sandwich. The bread was perfect and not soggy. It was definitely a lighter sandwich, but i would definitely get the is again.“
“The cooks were very nice, helped out with recommendations and were accommodating with our preferences for our food. As someone who doesn't often go to places like this, I highly recommend it and will be going again before I'm gone!Parking: It's by the front of a Home Depot, so unless it's a particularly busy day for them, you'll find parking easy.“
“The flavor combination is too good. The kabobesh pizza is definitely my favorite. The highlight of my review is the tandoori cheesesteak!!! Omg! I'm a Philly native and I've never had a cheesesteak with these flavors... trust me the combination of Indian spices makes it soooooo good!!! Can't wait to try different items off the menu!!“
“If I was able to give this place 10 stars, I would of. If you are in Philadelphia and want a juicy and tasty cheesesteak or eggplant parm hero, this is the place !!!!!! So good. The food is amazing !!! Recommend 100%. Best cheesesteak in Philly? YES !!!!!!!!“
“I've been going here since they first opened and I'm glad they made it thru the pandemic. Keep it up, Shizz! The food is always great. I always recommend ppl to go here and bring my folks from out of town. My only complaints are the hours aren't consistent sometimes and some stuff sells out quickly, but you can never go wrong with a cheesesteak or those seafood egg rolls. One of these days I'm gonna catch a rice platter and a dessert if I can get there early enough ?“
“This spot never disappoints whenever in Philly Jim’s is the Best!The chop up the meat put the wiz on or Cooper Sharp and it just melts in your mouth! The light onions and heated bread make the difference and at 12.00 each. Took 2 home with me to reheat in my oven.But nothing beats eating hot once I ordered and sat in the car steaming the windows and it just melts in your mouth soft roll. Chopped ribeye and Chez Wiz.Just the Brst of Philly“
“Cash only.Staff was friendly and helpful.Limited street parking.Looks like they had outdoor seating but I arrived pretty late in the evening and the outdoor seating was folded up\put away.Food was good. Recommend getting the hot peppers on the side if you like spicy. Maybe get a few extras too. I know I wish I asked for at least one more container of hot peppers on the side.“
“This place was packed when we went on a Saturday night. We were told it would be a 90 minute wait so we went to misconduct bar which was basically next door. Luckily we didn't have to wait 90 mins and it was only like a 30 minute wait we had. This place is black owned and is known for their interesting cheesesteaks. They have an oxtail and jerk chicken on the menu. The bathroom had an interesting vibe. There was a sign that said "taste me" but was surrounded by a fake plant wall. The bathroom definately felt like a new age interior decorator decked it out. I ended up getting a jerk chicken with mushrooms. I really loved the cheesesteak. They had cooper sharp cheese which was really good. They cooked the meat, peppers, and onions perfectly. The meat was marinated perfectly as well. The fries that my friends and I split were pretty tasty as well. I don't really like fries but these were amazing. They had cheese on them that just melted in your mouth. The drinks at this place were pretty strong as well. It was interesting that they put a cute light in it. The only thing I didn't like about this place was how loud the music was. It was a couple decibels louder than I would have liked it. Regardless this place had amazing cheesesteaks and that's all that matters!“
“Came here to try out Philly cheesesteak for the first time! Ordered the classic Philly cheesesteak and the buffalo chicken cheesesteak, plus some fries for me and my friends. Everything was awesome, including the smoothies. Would recommend. Service was also top notch, with the server giving me a nice bag to carry my haul in!(Takeout only joint)“
“I’ve searched for the best Philly Cheesesteak restaurant in Philly and this is it!! I like the Chicken Philly and it is all chicken breast and not greasy, the best ingredients and staff is excellent! My friend got the traditional Philly and agreed it was the best!“
“On my Tri-monthly Philadelphia trip to see my wife's Dr, we hit up a cheesesteak place. This time, it was Ishkabibbles. Long story short, the cheesesteaks are worth it. Just the right amount of meat and cheese for a great price. Give them a try.“
“Beat the stadium food. Stadium Grill by Oogie's is the best hole in the wall for people planning to see a game. Why pay $20 for a mediocre burger when you can pay half that for some delicious, greasy perfection. I came in to Stadium Grill before a recent hockey game with some friends for brunch. Sporting sandwiches, pizzas, BREAKFAST pizzas, and more, we split a sausage Boli platter. Bolis are Stadium Grill's specialty; an edible cup made from pizza dough, filled with egg, cheese, and meat, topped with Everything Bagel seasoning and served with a side of ketchup or spicy ketchup (the spicy ketchup is simply hot sauce mixed in with their ketchup). While I'd prefer to eat Boli's with marinara, the Boli's themselves are amazing. One platter comes with enough Boli's to feed 4 hungry dudes and each Boli is densely packed with protein. The seasoning adds much needed salt and packs so much flavor. It's a must get for groups. Stadium might not be fancy, but it's a fast, affordable, and delicious way to prep before watching a game.“
“Had a great meal here last night. The place has character- cozy bar area in front and spacious back dining area that’s great for large parties. The staff is friendly and warm. Food is fresh and there is something for everyone. Great caesar salad and cheesesteaks.“
“If you haven’t tried Umee Dee’s your definitely missing out my food is always good and fresh, me and my Daughter always get the chicken cheesesteak or even thee rolls can’t forget my delicious strawberry ? lemonade and of course the owner has always been a sweet heart to me from day one, Hana I’m so proud of all the hard work what you do and makes your food with ❤️❤️“
“Loved this place when I was a broke grad student living across the street 20 years ago, love it today when I come back to visit friends. No frills for sure, but gives you what you need. Have brought these steaks to friends living elsewhere in Philly and they love them too, not knowing where they come from. I will keep going back.“
“This eatery is a PRIME example of how a restaurant can serve the community & brighten the area up both literally & metaphorically speaking! The food was exceptional & fairly priced! I came in later in the evening & one can see how the staff hustles around to keep the place clean!“
“I've wanted to stop in here so many times and find out how good/or not their cheesesteaks are -- and this old school Philly boy loved it. I had it with mushrooms and fried onions and a side of very tasty french fries. Well worth the time and money spent and more importantly, I definitely will go back and try something else from the menu. I'd say moderate in price considering the historical/ touristy neighborhood. If I were you, I'd definitely go in and find something tasty for yourself.“
“I was in Lancaster PA for a Coffee conference and decided to stop in Philly for some cheesesteaks on the way home and had to stop here. By far the best Philly Cheesesteak I’ve ever had to date. I’ve also tried a lot of the Tristate areas best pizza spots and the pizza I got was one of the best I’ve had in recent memory. The quality of the ingredients they used was fantastic as well. I unfortunately didn’t get a picture of the cheesesteak because I ate it so fast due to how good it was, but it will not disappoint.“
