Save your money. Using very low grade products. Definitely can find a better cheese steak out there.

Better food in the area other than this place.

Don't waste your time and money at this place Steaks are horrible. Owner is extremely rude.

Shut this place down until the owner gets somebody in here that actually knows how to make a proper steak and isn't afraid of flavor... The building is a reflection of the food... Blah 🗑️🤮

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 wish I had a photo but I ate it all. I should probably take a photo of the melted cheese on my black pants because it was so delicious I couldn't stop eating it while driving. I was in philly for a funeral and when leaving starving just googled philly cheesesteaks near me and went for the place with the best review ( have been grossly disappointed with pat and genos on a previous visit). This place did not disappoint. The woman behind the counter who I'd like to assume was Gwen was courteous and was patient listening to my boyfriends order on speaker phone. She then not only cooked everything from scratch but even took out a green pepper to slice and cook fresh. After returning to my car she then realized I forgot the ketchup and came down the block to find me. I couldn't ask for anything more. Oh the food lol my chicken cheesesteak was delicious and when I got back to NYC 4 hours later mg boyfriend just loved his beef one witn hot cherry peppers too.

Gwen Steaks is doing their big one. Salmon rolls are truly delicious. Very first order, I ordered 5 by mistake turns out it was not a mistake. I’m hooked and addicted. I had to write my review after visiting for the second time and just ordered three salmon rolls🤤. Meaty, juicy well portioned, rolls. I support Black owned business. Plus excellent customer service

I wish I could leave them 10 stars! You will be hard pressed to find a better cheesesteak anywhere in the USA, than Gwen's! The steaks were cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, the rolls were fresh as if they came directly from a bakery! We loved their onion rings ...simply succulent! Thank you, Shannon and Mike, for providing this neighborhood with such a great establishment that puts people first. Your friendliness and hospitality were superb as well! I will definitely be back, again...REAL SOON!
My daughters went and got me a chicken cheesesteak! It wasn't cooked enough No flavor! Couldn't taste the onions or anything., My daughter got a burger she said she liked it. Fries were just okay.

Really bad veggie steak / hoagie. Don’t offer a veggie steak option on the menu if it’s going to be terrible. Take it off the menu if you can’t make it good. Spent way too much money for my stomach to be hurting from over spicy, no flavor, random wet veggies on an undercooked flavorless bun.

Spotless restaurant. Smells clean. Looks clean. Friendly cook made my cheese steak with care. I got it with american, onions, hot peppers and ketchup. Perfect. My nose is running a lil bit from the heat. Meat was tender, roll was soft and fresh. I will be hitting up Gwen's again. Highly recommend.

I was working in the area, customers told me about this cheesesteak spot, awesome cheesesteak and the business is a family owned. Nicest couple making your food! If i’m working in the area again, i would stop in for another cheesesteak
