Pagano's is one of my favorite cheesesteak spots in Philly. Star ratings here could never really do…read moreit justice. I get the feeling that outsiders have always just viewed it as a neighborhood spot that sold darn good cheesesteaks and hoagies. To me is it better than some of the more popular touristy type cheesesteak places? Yes (looking at you Jim's, Pat's, and Geno's). Is it better than some of the very best cheesesteak spots in the City of Brotherly Love? (Ishkabibble's, D'alessandro's) It is hanging right with them. The steak is so flavorful and juicy. Seasoned just right and a lot of meat. Like among the most offered in the city that is also good. My order is "wit with wiz and provolone, add Mayo and ketchup." The cooking is perfect and watching the griddle cooks work is like watching Basquiat paint. I love the Philly straight to the point type service too. Very direct but always with respect. But I buried the lead, the cold hoagies are also on point! My favorite is the tuna hoagie with all the accoutrements. Just so damn good, especially the mayonnaise heavy moist tuna made like how my grandmother use to make (rest her Philadelphia native soul). I only wish that they offered fried fish or griddled salmon "cheesesteaks." The prices are set for us working class folks to truly afford. All the primping and extras are 86'ed to bring an authentic North Philly classic hood (the best of what "hood" means -- family ties, friends, respect, looking out for your neighbors, great food, good times, and uplifting culture) experience. Two lines once inside, one for hot food one for cold hoagies. You can see all your sandwiches being made with is like performance art. Don't pass up the dessert display either. I can certainly afford the prices but not the extra calories of dessert, so I passed. Clean interior (clean griddle too) and hospitable staff...as long as you are not holding up the line. If you need a moment or help, ask precise questions or step back in the line. Regulars know their orders and can get "impatient" if you gum up the works. North Philly stand up. Pagano's slid through and earned five stars. In my D.C. accent asking my Philly college attending son "let go down that Pagano's jawn" is as touristy as ever. But it is our thing. Five stars, easy!!!!

What happened to the quality of this place? I used to live in Philly up unto the 70's, and the best…read moreplace to buy Philly cheese steaks/hoagies was a place called Bee's on Germantown Ave. I went back to Philly some years ago to visit my peeps and Bee's was no longer there so I went to Pagano's. I was blown away by the quality and size of the sandwiches. They tasted so, so good. I ordered a hoagie and a Philly cheese steak. They even packed the meat separate if you wanted, which I did. I was so impressed with the food I received. Went back to Philly last week and I made it a point to go back to Pagano's so I could experience their great sandwiches again. I was watching the cooks prepare the food and I thought to myself: that can't be mine. When the guy was done cooking the meat for the Philly cheese steak, it looked like minced meat. You couldn't tell the cheese from the meat, nor the onions/peppers. I wish I'd taken a picture but unfortunately, I did not. The hoagie was okay but not as I remembered it to be. I ate a small piece of the steak sandwich, and my daughter ate a small piece as well, but it was not appetizing at all. I was so very disappointed with it, the rest was thrown into the garbage. To pay $16.00 for inedible food in this day and time is a travesty. Pagano's you need to do better. Steak should not be unrecognizable. The best part of the sandwich was the bread. The placed looked okay, could have been cleaner. Didn't see a sanitation rating anywhere. I will not be back. Jersey Mike's is better and less expensive. Highlight of the visit was seeing a picture Patti Labelle when she was younger and a picture of Joe Frazier and Ving Rhames. SMDH!

A lot chunkier than expected for a burger so I just got a mouthful of goop. The fries taste like real potatoes so that was a plus. The nachos were also pretty dull, no big flavor like many other places in the area. We might try it another time, because we might've gotten them on an off day, but there are many better restaurants we frequent around us. The staff was still friendly and I don't fault them as they could've been having a busy night.

Not thinking too much about it and understanding the nature of food businesses, she threw that small piece out. Then as she bit into the other piece it happened again.

Our meals would usually cost around $35 at most, so imagine our shock when we went in one day and were charged over $150 for TWO people. We ordered something as simple as bacon, eggs, home fries, and orange juice. Then we realized they were charging everything à la carte, even charging us separately for the eggs. When I questioned the manager about the bill, her response was simply that "prices went up." There was no real concern or attempt to explain why a basic breakfast for two had suddenly become over $150. At that point, I honestly felt like we had been overcharged. For those prices, I would expect a completely different level of experience. I shouldn't have to pay $150+ for two people to eat bacon, eggs, home fries and drink orange juice. Needless to say, we haven't been back since. It's not even about the money at this point. It's the principle and how the situation was handled. When you have loyal customers who have been coming to your restaurant for years, you shouldn't make them feel like they've been taken advantage of and then dismiss their concerns. Very disappointing because we genuinely used to enjoy coming here.

Only complaint would be it is a little pricey but assume that's due to their playing off their Food Network "fame" maybe. Definitely will still go back to try some more items!
