Leo's Steak Shop

Food is greatService is goodIt's a hole in the wallThey have met my expectations every time we have ordered.

Drove by chose 3 hours to get their infamous philly cheesesteak. Walked in placed order. The write all orders down on a brown paper bag. The guy that took my order was rushing me. I'm still trying to customize THESE 3 steak order. My mom ordered a large turkey hoagie. I had 3 philly cheesesteak orders, 1 chicken & 2 delmonco. People are pouring in to go orders and walk in orders. There was two different groups waiting before us when we walked in. Ok. Then I see others come in get their order and leave. Still waiting. Finally they called mom's order. I'm next. Get my order. The other guy had a attitude...for NO reason. I DIDN'T respond. Just paid and left. They handwrite ( abbreviate)on wrap paper what is on the steak to differentiate the multiple steaks. I wanted a few bites before hitting the road. One said "ckn" ok, that's chicken. The other are the delmonicos but there is scribble writing and I definitely can't figure which one is mine. Mom immediately get out the car. She tells me she has tuna not turkey. Go immediately back inside. Now because how the scribble description of steak, I too have to go back inside to ask them what are these abbreviations. Another guy came up and I pointed to both the can ( clearly it's chicken) but what is the other abbreviation steak. He asked.me where os the bag? Im.like what bag? I saw the other employee put the handwritten brown paper bag in each order upon leaving. My order doesn't have the handwritten paper bag placed inside. He doesn't know either. Called another guy and he said fried onions & pickles. That did not look like a "F," "O" or a "P". I literally went 3 hours to this place specifically for this steak. Mom received her turkey hoagie as ordered. I spent gas, time AND tolls to patronize YOUR business. I have been raving about this place for years although this is my first time actually buying myself a philly. I see the employees joking around while people are waiting for their food. I understand work comradery but there IS a time and place for it. This is lunch hour. People have things to do too. Treat YOUR customers with less attitude and pay attention to details. I literally spent exactly 1 hour at this place waiting. I hope you do read this review. Do better. Minus 2 stars

Wife and I split an 18 inch cheesesteak and it was an epic failure. The meat was soggy, unseasoned with minimal cheese which soaked through the bread making it impossible to hold within a minute after getting the order.The meat tasted like ground beef, it was the worst cheesesteak I have ever eaten. To see the reviews, you'd think you're on par with Angelo's or John's Roast Pork.... and it was over $28.00 for the cheesesteak and chips, we had to trash it. Never again, terrible!

One of the best cheesesteaks I've had throughout my life! It matched what I grew up with when visiting family in the Philly area. I'll definitely go out of my way to return to Leo's anytime I'm in Philly!! The service was great -- quick to take my order and typical time for cook time. The ambiance is what I see typical of a northern steak shop. Plenty of space for people to wait for their orders and an abundance of chips and drinks for purchase.Don't think twice, just go!! You'll be do happy you did.As far as parking goes, it is (free) street parking.

The biggest sandwich I've ever seen. At 18 inches, the large sized cheesesteak is more than enough for two people. Can call on the phone and order ahead. Ready within 15 minutes for pickup. Credit cards accepted.

I was in Philadelphia and wanted the best Philly steak and cheese sandwich. So, I came across this spot that was highly reviewed. This is a hole in the wall restaurant that specializes in their signature steak and cheese sandwiches. They also reveal hoagies, burgers, fries and sandwiches there are also a bunch of grab and go canned/bottled drinks, chips, and pastries to choose from. It looks like a small confidence store in front of the counter.The staff there was very friendly. You are given the option to call your order ahead, which I highly recommend. It will save you a lot of time. The restaurant does not have a dining area. There is just an open space where people wait for their food. The area is not the cleanest spot. During warm weather, or if you don't mind sitting out in the cold, there is a small patio area available yo sit and eat. They do not have their own private lot to park, there is only limited street parking available. I did not have an issue finding a spot.Their steak and cheeses come in two sizes, small and large. The large is a whopping 18 inches. That was a bit too much for me so I went with the small, traditional steak and cheese, which was the regular size that I am use to. Ii also got a side of French fries. It took them about 15 to 20 minutes to prepare and it was hot and fresh. There was a ton of food.I had to take my food back to my hotel because as I mention, there was no seating inside and it was way too cold to sit on the patio. It was still warm when I got there and was very delicious. It definitely lived up to all the hype. It was very flavorful and tasty. Also, the meat was over flowing out of the bun. It was stuffed. I highly recommend. This is a nice restaurant to get your steak and cheese fix. It may be off of the beaten path a bit, but is definitely worth the trip.

Fantastic cheesesteaks! We were in Philly for a conference and a friend recommended we go here.These cheesesteaks were delicious. We had one with peppers & onions, one with pickles, peppers & onions, one with peppers and mushrooms, and one plain. They were huge! We wound up sharing with multiple friends back at the conference.

I used to be a big fan of a good Philly cheesesteak sandwich until I moved to Chicago and had the Italian Beef. This place made me remember why that was a big deal. Forget the tourist trap spots downtown and come directly hereWalking inside, I knew I came to the right place. They were busy with locals who clearly loved the place and everyone behind the counter was working their butts off. Yet, they took time to give a child a treat and make him smile. Their operation is flawless here with a dash of Philly love. These people know what they're doing. And now the important part; the food! This was THE Philly cheesesteak that I've been hunting for every time I visit. It was absolutely amazing. Perfect combination of flavors, seasonings, HUGE portions, messy as heck, and even though I was full left me wanting to go back immediately. This place is a true gem and now my search for the perfect cheesesteak is now officially closed.

What a pleasant surprise! Husband heard about this place and I had my doubts but I was proven wrong.It was crowded on a rainy Saturday afternoon, but things moved along so it was bearable. The cheesesteak was MEGA huge. I couldn't finish it in one sitting and my husband, who never gets full, was satisfied! The bread was soft (in a good way) and the amount of meat was great! The meat was tender!Would definitely stop by again!There is no space to sit and eat. The vibe was like a family-owned-business vibe.

Omg!! Had the Philly mushroom cheesesteak and it was way more than I expected. The flavor was awesome and the portion was crazy big.
