Just a caveat though: limited seating especially for large groups…read more Luckily, we arrived slightly earlier than the lunch crowd and managed to nab the coveted corner booth. We ordered a chicken parm and a Caesar salad to share. The serve graciously split the sandwich for us and provided extra utensils. All of the sandwiches here are delicious! Definitely on the pricier side, but honestly it's average for the Fishtown area. Servers are always nice, and it's nice to visit places that have the hometown Philly vibe with the decorations all around. Definitely pay a visit for lunch!

As an out-of-towner, I've always heard the great debate about who has the best steak in Philly…read more I've tried several of them and I must say if I had to choose one to recommend for anyone visiting, it would have to be Angelo's. The combination of the tender perfectly cooked steak, fried onions, Cooper Sharp cheese, and ketchup (yes I know I said ketchup) -- hit the spot! But what took this stake over the top was the bun something about the bun. Another thing that I've always heard is that the line is pretty long and you'll have a lengthy weight. This wasn't the case for me. While there were people waiting, my order didn't take that long. So all in all I'm a fan and the next time I'm in Philly, I'll be stopping by.

The bread on this sandwich was so good, the steak, the onions, and the combination of the Cooper cheese....utterly amazing. When in Philly you have to go to Angelo's and get this CHEESESTEAK!! No doubt the best sandwich ever !! As I write this review I wish I could have another one right now. Hands down the best.

The best Philly cheesesteak I had. This is my second time coming here and the flavor and cheese is…read moreso delicious. You can taste the truffle inside the cheese and spreaded throughout the cheesesteak. The bread was fresh and soft when you bite down. We also ordered the shrimp po boy to try and it's delicious as well. It's a good alternative to the cheese steak. Overall, I will definitely be coming back here, I'm still thinking about that cheesesteak! We ordered online for pickup so we didn't have to wait. They also have a couple of tables to sit inside.

My extensive Reddit research recommended Woodrow's as one of the best cheesesteaks in Philly. I…read morewanted to check out a store in the area, so stopping at Woodrow's was a no-brainer. We opted to dine in. You pick your own seat and then order via the QR code at the table. They'll bring you water and napkins if you don't want other beverages. We opted to split their signature cheesesteak with truffle wiz and a kale Cesar salad. The cheesesteak was just fine. The truffle wiz was very overpowering. The first few bites were great and then as you're working your way through the rest of the sandwich, it becomes almost too much. The meat also wasn't as good quality as some other spots we visited on the trip. Service was great though.

I've been watching Shay's Steaks grow for a while now, and after multiple visits it's easy to see…read morewhy so many people are talking about this place. The cheesesteaks are packed with flavor, the rolls hold up perfectly, and the quality is consistent every time. Whether you're a traditional cheesesteak person or like to branch out and try some of their specialty creations, there's a reason people are making the trip into Center City for Shay's. What really stands out is that this isn't a place resting on hype. The food delivers. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the team takes pride in what they're doing. Philadelphia has no shortage of cheesesteak spots, but Shay's has earned its place in the conversation. If you're exploring the city's food scene and looking for a cheesesteak that lives up to the buzz, put Shay's on your list. Highly recommended. The Philly Food Fanatic®

Easy...repeat EASY 5-start sandwich…read more In from out of town and based on research, a first-hand interview (shout out Uber driver) and proximity to my hotel, I landed on Shay's. Very glad I did. I had the The Classic ($19.95: Prime Rib, Cooper Sharp Cheese, Buttery Steakhouse Seasoning, Sautéed Onions). Great seeded roll, perfectly melted cheese, and grilled onions. Service was great. Went to the shop off-hours / around 2:30 on a Friday. Probably 10 people there, so my steak was served up quickly- maybe 5 minutes max from order to handoff. The staff was helpful and patient walking through a rookie on what to order. The shop is un-assuming. Not tons of signage, not a lot of quirky decor on the walls. I visited on one of the first very hot days of the spring. I decided to get the sandwich to go and devoured it at my hotel. Best Cheesesteak is a hot topic in this town. No real point in trying to say one's the best but some food for thought from an out-of-towner: 1) Research. Ask around. Listen to the passion with which they offer their recco. 2) Highly consider Shay's. I really enjoyed the Cheesesteak and the entire experience.

Five stars. It's not often I give 5 stars. However, the lunch I just had at Middle Child matched…read morethe rating with ease. I went to Middle Child a few weeks ago just after 3, only to find it closes at 3. Today I returned, around 1, and there was a good crowd there having lunch. I ordered the Surfer, and the Hash Brown Potatoes. The Surfer is Middle Child's most popular sandwich. It's made on a Ciabatta bun, and has a thick layering of tender, lean, House Turkey breast, with melty Swiss cheese, arugula, blueberry chutney, and Duke's mayo. It's hard to describe just how delicious this sandwich was. My biggest concern was the Ciabatta bun - it's not one of my favorites, as I've found them to be tough and difficult to bite through. My fears were quickly put to rest after the first bite! The bun had a slightly crispy exterior - and when I followed through with my first bite, the tender, soft interior of the Ciabatta was a pleasant surprise. In fact, it complemented the thick savory Turkey, arugula, chutney and mayo! It was one of the best Turkey sandwiches I've had. Now, if that wasn't enough, don't forget, I ordered the Hash Brown Potatoes. It said Hash Browns on the blackboard, see attached picture, but these 'weren't your Mama's hash browns'! They are described online as Latka'd Hash Browns. They are thick crispy squares that combine a potato pancake latke with a hash brown texture. The interior reminded me of my mother's potato kugel, which I still reminisce about. In one word, those fried crispy potato squares were outstanding. It's 'a must try' and goes so well with the Surfer! Last, but not least, the Limeade! It was so refreshing! Not too tart, not too sweet... just right! I'll be returning to Middle Child in the not too distant future!

Very disappointed. Picked up door dad's from here for a few months…read more Today there weren't many employees behind the counter; but one of the workers were talking to some customers for like 10 minutes laughing and chatting it up mean while I'm over here trying not to interrupt their conversation. When I was FINALLY acknowledged; I was told here is one order which was ready, "5 mins for the next one" Okay cool. So the order was put on the counter but since people don't like when you just take the order that you have to deliver i again had to wait and try not to interrupt the conversation making me 2 minutes late for the drop off. What could improve?? Why not acknowledge people walking into your store and maybe pause your conversation because you aren't home.

Hershel's East Side Deli ended up being my favorite thing I tried at Reading Terminal Market. I had…read morethe pastrami Reuben, and it was absolutely delicious. It came with a generous pile of pastrami that was tender, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a deli sandwich. I tried a few different vendors in the market, and this was easily my favorite dish by far. Definitely worth stopping by if you're visiting.

After 10 years, I finally made my way back to Hershel's East Side Deli!…read more We already split something at another booth, so only had their pastrami breakfast sandwich to share. It was really good. The brisket was very tender and flavorful. This really hit the spot. I would 10/10 get this again. We also picked up an apple cake and a chocolate cake to take home for later and both were very good.

I recently had a couple of great lunches here. I found parking along Wolf Street with no problem…read more The inside was clean and the staff was friendly. They serve you fresh waster (Drinks to order include Hanks, Boylan's, Harney and Sons, Teas etc.) and will serve you at the table or you can walk up and order at the counter. Their menu has a great mix of deli, steak, "chicken" steak, meatball, sausage and cutlet sandwiches with interesting flavor combos. You can also get breakfast (till 11AM) or a salad. They also have sides that include - tots, fried pickle chips, onion rings, fries, fried mozzarella and Zayda's pickle spears, chips and cherry pepper shooters. They have a couple of vegan options and GF rolls for extra $$. The staff was more than happy to give recommendations and their favs. My first lunch was The Eye - $15 Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp American, fried onions came on a seeded Liscio's roll. If you enjoy the somewhat newer Cooper sharp style that's out there you'll like theirs. The Cooper sharp was gooey, mixed in well with the meat and on the heavier side. The ribeye was thin cut, delicious and the portion was pretty hefty. Second visit I went with - The Nad - $15 Chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, Mike's Hot Honey that came on an unseeded Liscio's roll. The portion size was good, chicken was fresh with good breading, the hot honey was a tad on the heavy side, but the flavors all came together pretty good on this one. Sweet, salty, light bitterness from the arugula and some heat from the hot honey. I added Thin Cut Idaho fries to make it a combo for $3 extra and I have to say they were delicious. They smelled like McD's and tasted similar. They are cash only, but have an ATM on site. You can use a card if you order online. The one bathroom they have was pretty clean and organized. I will certainly stop back for a visit if I'm in the area to try out more of their menu. Thanks guys!

My other favorite is getting whatever special they have going on - it almost never disappoints. This time around I got the Turkey Hoagie, it was delightful. Bummer that my fried sprouts were basically black and way too oily. I threw them out. The Mac was okay. Hoagie made up for it though! It's a cute shop best for takeout orders. The people working there have always been nice. Everything is made in house with love. A little pricey, but overall very tasty and fresh.

As a meat eating mammal, I cannot resist anything "whole pig". The whole pig banh mi features carrot, cabbage, cucumber, jalapeño, something called XO sauce, and of course that whole pig. This is far from the traditional banh mi, not so much due to the meat choice but the fact that the vegetables take a back seat. This is also a soft hoagie style bread instead of the crusty French bread that usually houses a banh mi. Still an enjoyable sandwich nonetheless. To my surprise, the fried potatoes were the highlight of this meal. Tender crispy fried potatoes are simply irresistible. Stockyard definitely has a lot going for it. Worth a try if you are in the area !

I honestly can't say enough good things about Cleavers…read more I accidentally left my bag here--with everything in it, including my ID--and we had a flight out the next day. I didn't even realize it right away, but somehow the team tracked me down at my hotel (!!). I was able to come back a couple hours later and everything was exactly as I left it. A huge thank you to Zktlko (I hope I'm spelling that right) who went out of his way to make sure I got it back. That level of care is rare and meant so much in a stressful moment. And on top of that--the food is incredible. We had the hoagies, and they were hands down the best cheesesteaks we tried in the city. Amazing people, amazing food. Grateful we stopped here.
