    Our waffle fries
    Michelle L.

    I stopped by with my husband and his mother for a late lunch. We ordered the classic Philly cheesesteak with an order of fries. My MIL ordered a caprese salad. We also got a few of their packaged drinks. The guy taking our order was very nice and there was plenty of seating and it seemed like there was additional seating upstairs, but we didn't have to head up there. The bathroom was nice and clean. As for the food, the Philly cheesesteak was massive, but tasted just okay. It seemed quite heavy on the bread. I think my husband maybe ordered wrong as he should've gotten the cheese whiz or maybe gotten the one with peppers. We've definitely had better cheesesteaks. The waffle fries were fries: tasty and delicious. My MIL's caprese salad was interesting. It was atop a bed of greens which was unexpected. It was also $15 which seemed a little extravagant for what it was. Overall, it was a decent meal and tasty. I'd hit it up for lunch of you're in a pinch and you'd definitely have leftovers for later as well.

    BBQ Breaded Chicken Wing Dings.

    I ordered two cheesesteaks and chicken wings from Cleavers. The cheesesteaks were excellent, flavorful, and delicious. The wings were amazing, plump, and cooked perfectly. My only complaint was that the cheesesteaks had too much ketchup, which overpowered some of the flavor. Next time, I'll ask for light ketchup. Overall, the food was great, and I would order again.

    This is in my partners top 5 cheesesteaks. While I won't give my opinion on that I will say, they have lots of other options as well and they do make interesting chicken cheesesteaks that are super customizable. They have this really cool beer wall as well.

    Mixed Cheese.

    Absolutely run to Cleavers for a Philly or like I got the Mixed Cheese and it was delicious. Their bread is incredible. The waffle fries with Cheese wiz and the onion rings were perfect. We would come back just for the food. The place is big with and upstairs and downstairs seating options. Service was great and the place is very clean. I highly recommend you go there and try out their food.

    This place was so delicious I ordered another one for my husband and flew it all the way to Phoenix. No joke it was still delicious 7 hours later! Tip for ordering...you can go up to the counter or go to a computer...but there is another computer off to the left up the stairs! Nice secret computer if you want to get out of the hustle and bustle.

    Cleavers - to go order

    When in Philly, I had to get a Philly Cheesesteak! Looking for restaurants near the Hilton Motto where I was staying, I saw that Cleavers was only a few blocks away from my hotel! I ended up coming back here twice because the food was just so good! It was a chilly evening both nights. When I walked inside the restaurant, the team had greeted me and asked if it was my first time, which it was! You could order at the Kiosks inside the restaurant, or at the front register. There wasn't anyone ahead of me so I ended up looking over the menu first before ordering. Cleavers offers cheesesteaks, beef, chicken, or veggie. You can also get it in a roll, wrap or bowl. Some of their sandwiches include the following Papa's Favorite Steak The Cleaver Effin Hot Steak Zinger Steak Chicken Cheesesteak Hoagie BBQ Chicken Chicken Parm and so much more! If you're looking for alternatives to the sandwiches, Cleavers does offer salads, Fries, egg rolls, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, desserts and other options! I ended up getting the Cheesesteak Hoagie both nights, but tried different cheeses out. The first night I had the cheese whiz and the second evening I had the Cooper American cheese. I only had the steak and cheese on the seeded roll. I didn't wait long for my to go order, about 10 minutes. The walk back to the hotel was about 5 minutes, but the team at Cleavers wrapped my cheesesteak perfectly! It was still warm by the time I got back to the hotel. There is seating inside the restaurant though on the second level! Cleavers has my favorite cheesesteak. I enjoyed both the cheese whiz and the Cooper American cheese. The steak used was juicy and tender. The sandwich was huge! The Philly cheesesteak restaurants I go to in Vegas don't have seeded rolls, and you can tell the difference! The flavor was just so amazing! If you're local to Philly and craving cheesesteaks, I highly recommend going to Cleavers! The team members are great at the restaurant and the cheesesteaks were amazing!

    The Cleaver
    Belinda T.

    Stopped by for a quick ONE POUND ribeye cheesesteak, "The Cleaver", from Cleavers while doing a quick day tour of UPenn and my husband's old apartment and this thing converted me. Never in my life did I enjoy a cheesesteak, not that I've had any good ones, until I tried it here. Our interaction with the staff was short since we ordered the sandwich to-go and dipped. They were quick and friendly and we didn't wait too long for the cheesesteak. The inside did look like a nice, casual spot although I can't speak much about it since we didn't dine in. The cheesesteak itself was absolutely loaded with ribeye and cheese--two kinds according to their menu, Cooper American and Kraft cheese whiz. It was so big and rich that the three of us could barely finish this one sandwich--all for under $30!!! What a deal.

    Very good cheesesteak. I'm not gonna call it Dalessandro's great. But if you don't want to drive out for that Michelin Bib Gourmand version, which is possibly the best cheesesteak on the planet, this is a great option. Forget Pat's and Gino's both of which long succumbed to the mediocrity of over tourism. The cheesesteak is well prepared and you get a variety of options for toppings. You can do MYO or a variety of packages, in both beef and chicken. I built a basic with sharp provolone and sautéed peppers. It was very good. Service was good, we waited upstairs and then came back down to get the food. They also have a neat "help yourself" beer dispensing system but we didn't try it that evening. There's a few spots to sit. We were generally fine, until a non-customer came in and wanted to use the restroom by where we were seated, then threw up in the trash can, having all the signs and symptoms of suffering from cannabis hyperemesis syndrome. Ambiance is kinda classic diner, with tile floors, and nothing special but decent.

    Effin Hot Cheesesteak (Spicy)
    Beverly U.

    The food came out quickly and me and my husband split the sub because I noticed the sub was huge! We got the Effin Hot Cheesesteak (Spicy) we is exactly what we needed. I've had better subs, but this hit the spot. 2nd floor eating area and bathroom were clean. Note: the self-serve beer wall no longer exists so would recommend the business update the highlights. I was kind of sad to see that it didn't exist here.

    Cheesesteak in a wrap??  Yes, please.  And, it's packed!
    JerPz ..

    I've been to Cleavers several times and the cheesesteaks are always very good. I just discovered they do cheesesteaks in a wrap which is just fantastic. So, I tried one the other day and it's very good. PACKED! Great spot for a cheesesteak if you're by Rittenhouse Square.

    Went as we were leaving Philly and this place popped up on Yelp. I got The Cleaver sandwich with peppers and onions, shit was fire. Service was nice as it wasn't too busy inside and we were helped quickly and I appreciate the pagers to let us know when our food was ready.

    This was my first official Philly cheesesteak and it did not disappoint . I ordered "the block" and waffle fries through Uber Eats and the food was made so quick and delivered quickly as well. It was still hot and fresh. The meat was tender and there was the perfect amount of peppers/onions/cheese. The sandwich was also HUGE. Overall a great meal and def recommend!

    Couldn't visit Philly and pass up a Cheesesteak with the cheese whiz!! First time seeing beer on tap where you were able to "pour your own" very neat idea!

    Great cheesesteaks with tons of options. Huge portions. Enough to split. Great "no hype" option in the city.

    Ask the Community - Cleavers

    I can't tell from the pictures, but is the chicken on the chicken cheesesteaks in chunks or shaved like on the regular cheesesteaks? Thanks.

    They were small chunks. 😋

    Can Cleavers accommodate a large group?

    Yes! In the upstairs section they have longer community style aeating

    We order from Cleavers frequently and have noticed recently that we are now being charged extra for cheese that used to be included. This occurs on the grubhub app I.e. you must select a cheese at an additional cost to be able to place your order?

    hello, we had to make some changes to the grubhub ordering platform. All the specialty sandwiches… 

    What's the difference between their Cheesesteak sandwich and their Cleaver (besides 7 bucks)? Is it just the size?

    The regular Cheesesteak has 8oz of meat and one type of cheese. Our Cleaver has 1lb of meat and two types of Cheese!!

    Does anyone know if they offer gluten free bread? Trying to bring my mother in law here but she has a gluten allergy

    We don’t have gluten free bread. BUT, We have a bowl option! All the fillings in a bowl!

    Has anyone ever gotten the bowl version of their steaks ? Still want to enjoy the goods, but trying to be healthy.

    There are a lot of people that get “the bowl”. It’s all the stuff just no bread. Tastes just as good!!

    How do the cheesesteaks here compare to Max's, Tony Luke's, Daleassandro's, Jim's and Sonny's?

    To each his own. But high quality ingredients at Cleavers + an amazing roll = best cheese steak I've ever had.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!
