Philip's Steaks

Classic cheesesteak joint on the corner in a seedy neighborhood, gotta love Philly! Maybe if I didn't know any better, this place would receive more stars, but we're looking at is pretty average stuff here. Shaved ribeye isn't too thick and certainly not chopped. Therefore, NO MELT! Fail! Now maybe if the meat had a flavor that could stand-out on its own, we could allow this to pass, but this is only a step or two above boxed frozen crap from the supermarket. Not enough salt and just an average meaty taste. Some of the onions were cooked perfectly while some were nearly raw. The difference in textures was distracting and raw onion is not as good as cooked. Mayo was available in a self-serve condiment pump can and was absolutely disgusting. DO NOT use this mayo, it will ruin anything it touches. Free hot peppers always recommended. There are two windows for ordering, and you need to know which one to go to to order steaks or side orders. Luckily, this rookie rolled up to the correct window by accident, and was able to figure out the process by watching others make mistakes and then get corrected by all the pros who were there waiting for their steaks and fried foods near their respective windows. For a cheesesteak place that's open 24 hours, it's a nice location off the highway and not a bad option. Just not going to be one of my regular stops.

Interesting that this place seems to have gotten mauled in a few reviews lately, but then I realize that some of them are from people who don't know what a cheesesteak even is.Anyhow, I ended up here because my wife is a nearly-rabid Ed Sheeran fan, and he came to serve up some sandwiches and off we went. I have to say, if you can hand me an American wit from a pile made in advance for a media event, and it is warm, flavourful, and on a nice chewy hoagie roll, you're doing something right. Staff there seem like genuinely nice folks running a family business, and you always love to see that. I'll go again next time to see what I wind up with when I'm actually ordering.But if they could do this right, they have good potential.

The food here is amazing... not an ambiance place as it's a bit of shrine to the previously deceased owner but the food is excellent and they do an inside out pizza that's amazing ... no tables just and outside counter

I was surprised at how good this cheesesteak was because of the reviews. I ordered my steak and waited a short time for it which was nice. The steak was flavorful and fresh. The meat itself was not too fatty which I appreciated and the bread was soft. I'd return since it was yummy and close to home!!

South Philly traditional cheesesteak. One of the places to try and compare as a contender for Philadelphias best.

So forget the touristy places genos and pats I'm sure everyone and their mom told you to go there. Bright lights lots of reviews but if you want a solid real cheesesteak from Philly say less and go here. Get the OG cheese wiz and onion one THE END. That my friend is a true delicious real deal cheesesteak. We tried the other famous one which was good but nothing compares. Ordering is weird the right window you order your cheesesteaks the left window you order everything else. Fries, nuggets. Drinks etc. and it's cash only on both sides! Def give it a shot and let me know if you think I'm right or if you have found better!

My favorite cheesesteak next to JRP! 1 & 1A! Used to be a locals only place. Word got out

This is a solid cheesesteak. Served the only way a cheesesteak should be...American, onions, and mushrooms on a crusty and dense roll. Gotta say though the ordering system is ridiculous. You have to wait in one line to order and pay for your cheesesteak, then an entirely separate line to order and pay for your sides or drink. You read correctly, if you want any sides or a drink, you have to go to a different window and pay all over again for them. Maybe it would work if these guys ran efficiently, but that was not the case when we visited on a Saturday night after the Phillies game. Ordertakers have the typical South Philly cheesesteak shop attitude. Basically like your bothering them. Still, strong cheesesteak

Best cheesesteaks in South philly the best service in South Philly with the best people. Try all their food everything is amazing at Philip's and all their food is freshly cooked as ordered.
