Sonny's Famous Steaks

We had just gotten to our hotel after a long day of travel to move my daughter into Temple University. We got a recommendation to check out market Street and had the loaded cheesesteak and burger with fries. My daughter accidentally dropped the fries on the ground just as she got them, and was really upset because we were so hungry. The employees brought us another set of fries for free, even though I was gonna go buy another order.My daughter said the burger was absolutely delicious, the fries were thin, crunchy and delicious, my loaded cheesesteak was everything I wanted it to be, seasoned, melted, chewy, just delicious.Highly recommend and I will definitely be back when I come to visit my daughter in college!

When you're in Philly, you have to try a Philly Cheesesteak! We found a highly-rated spot near Penn's Landing, right in the heart of historic Old City, Philadelphia. It's located on Market Street, about a 10-minute walk from the Hilton at Penn's Landing.The place was bustling, and the menu variety was impressive. They offer Philly cheesesteaks, burgers, and sides, and even have some vegetarian options like a grilled cheese sandwich. We decided to sample a few dishes and ordered the Original Cheesesteak, Loaded Cheesesteak, Bacon Cheesesteak, Cheez Fries, and Onion Rings.I was really impressed by the super-friendly service. The staff was awesome, despite being busy with orders. We even had a great conversation when I mentioned we were visiting from Seattle--really good people.As for the cheesesteaks--they were fantastic! I thought the Original was amazing until I tried the Loaded. I can't even put into words how flavorful it was, with the cheese adding so much to the experience. The portions were very filling, and they even have different types of pickled peppers available for customers. Most people overlook them, but don't make that mistake--they add a ton of flavor to the cheesesteaks.I've heard that Sonny's serves the best cheesesteaks in Philly, and I don't doubt that anymore. Solid cheesesteaks, amazing staff, and great vibes. Plus, if you're interested, you can pick up some Sonny's souvenirs as well.

Excellent cheesesteak in a comfortable small shop with seating and a VERY nice staff.I headed to Sonny's with a friend in Philadelphia, i'd decided it was time to head out in search of a cheesesteak. It was one of those hot hot days in Philly, where it is in the high 90' and so humid, it feels like its 105 and walking anywhere feels overwhelming.Once we entered Sonny's though it was comfortable air conditioned and there was a cold water cooler with cups out for customers, YES!After a brief conversation with the counter guy, I went with a classic cheesesteak with mushrooms and my friend went with a burger. Our food came out within minutes and everything was great.My sandwich was so big and so packed, I was unable to eat more than half. The meat was fresh and I went with American cheese, which was honestly the perfect pairing for this sandwich.

We came, we saw, we ate and we LOVED it!!!No frills, narrow and dated looking restaurant that was clearly popular based on the filled tables inside.You order at the counter, wait for your number to be called, grab your wrapped sandwiches, take a seat and enjoy!The steak sandwich is huge and delicious! The fries were topped with a generous amount of bacon and cheese.I'm so glad we gave this place a try. Two thumbs up!

A quick walk from the liberty bell, independence hall, and other historic sites. Onion rings were crispy and fried to order. Loaded cheesesteak came with sweet peppers, mushrooms and onions with choice of cheese. Service was friendly and quick. There were tables inside and outside for dining.

Had a great meal here while catching the sites in the historical part of town. It's just 3 short blocks from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. If you are looking for an authentic Philly Cheese Steak experience, this is it. We had the works, which included sweet peppers, mushrooms and grilled onions. They have cheez-whiz or provolone, and they even have gluten free buns. Cash, card they take both. Limited seating inside but there is some seating outside as well. The staff was great and you will definitely enjoy your sandwich. Would eat here again for sure.

Today is a Philly Cheesesteak foodie adventure for us. Our goal was to hit up 2 spots. First up, Dalessandro's. As we arrive we're like shhhh, we've been here before. The sandwiches were so forgettable that we don't remember if we liked it or not. We continue onto the next, Tony & Nick's Steaks. It was closed for July 4th. HANGRY at his point because it was way past our lunch time, Sonny's Famous Steaks came up on my Yelp app.The line is almost out the door, that's a good sign. We each ordered the Loaded Cheesesteak with sweet peppers, mushrooms, grilled onions and your choice of cheese (we chose provolone). Our verdict: the sliced beef could be juicier in our opinion. I would have liked more grilled onions. The bread was nice and soft. It was well seasoned. We also shared some fries and that was only okay. There are cherry peppers for your taking by the plastic utensils and napkins. If you like them tart where it will make your eyes squint, then these are for you. I guess it's good in cleansing the palate after eating one of these hoagies. This sandwich shop is located in the Old City part of Philly where you can walk around with lots to see and explore including some cool coffee shops. Excellent & friendly service.Restrooms: surprisingly nice and clean.

Visited Philly and wanted to try the popular cheesesteak. Ordered it as loaded and topped with cheese whiz. Sandwich was quite filling so I shared it btw two people. Beef quality is good, not dry at all and very savory. Cheese whiz tasted like melted cheddar cheese on cheeseburger. Onions and vegetables helped balance sandwich out. I feel like it'll be better if the bread is lightly toasted, but overall a decent first experience; it does get boring after a couple of bites. Service was quick and friendly. Variety of indoor and outdoor seatings.

We don't celebrate Mothers Day. Instead, we go to Philly to eat cheesesteaks at whatever supposedly famous shops are open on a Sunday, that aren't cash only.This is our second year of our new tradition, and we managed to try three new shops: Ishkibble's II, Sonny's, and Woodrow's. sadly, Sonny's just didn't measure up.The meat is cut large, and is tough. And they only put cheese on one side of the roll, so the sandwich is quite dry.In my overall scale, I would put Sonny's down with Pat's and Geno's. Places that I'm glad that I tried, because I want to try them all, but not one that I would recommend when there are so many other options.The restaurant has plenty of seating and a lovely atmosphere. Employees are kind and helpful. The quality of meat is my main issue. It's just too toothy.

Great food, fast service, and clean place. Steak was very tasty. Hubby got one with blue cheese so there's a selection. We enjoyed meeting some other tourists from Chicago. We all agreed out was a good place.
