Never heard of this place until a friend recommended it to me. Their famous chicken cutlet sandwich is delicious. The only reason I stuck with a 4 out of 5 stars was because there arent great hot/spicey options to put on your sandwiches. I would recommend this spot way over Pat's or Geno's
Thank you.

Went today around 130 during the game to get a sandwich for dinner. I spoke to the young lady I ordered a cheesesteak with cooper sharp extra cooper sharp no onions. I am allergic so I can’t forget to order. I just went to eat my dinner at 540pm and it’s packed with onions. I am glad I checked or I would be dead. My wife went out and my epipen I am out of. I went to take the sandwich back but they were closed. Just so everyone knows, I was the only one there and no one waiting and they still couldn’t get it correct. There is a reason I haven’t been here in a while. Guess I won’t be back at all.

Dietary restrictions: They don’t listen so asking will be a waste of time and money

On the River, hard to beat hoagies and steaks. Absolutely 1st tier philly steaks and hoagies. Their 'Scrapple Fries' are a unique and delicious Philly treat!!!! Lots of convenient free parking!

Food is amazing! I asked if they sold red bull and the lady said they didn’t but brought one to work today and offered to give it to me for free. If that’s not amazing service and extremely thoughtful I don’t know what is ! Awesome place !

Don't be fooled by those tourist trap cheesesteak places (they know who they are). This is a great cheesesteak. Definitely top ten in philly. Rolls are fresh and don't fall apart with the meat. Meat is flavorful and fresh tasting. Sandwiches are full of meat.
There's outdoor seating available. Located right on the river, next to the coastguard station.
Update, chicken parm sandwich, and hoagie were also delicious. Hoagie was jammed packed with meats and deliciousness.

I finally got to try Shank’s Original, and I must say what an incredible experience. I ordered “The Philly Special” and man was this sandwich amazing, literally one of the most underrated cheesesteak I had in Philly hands down. If you a true Philadelphian this is the sandwich to order, highly recommend taking the time out to check this establishment you will not be disappointed. I will definitely be returning.??
