    Receipt...not Adrien's fault, she was awesome!

    I paid $45 for a cheese steak and pizza fries...where is the "pizza sauce"? Like how do you forget the pizza sauce...just careless.

    They proudly display that they've been in business since 1956. I would like to know if the founder of Larry's or if any of his relatives are still actively involved with this business. Based on my experience there today, I doubt he is, and I think any of the original Larry's influences have been long gone. Service 2 stars: The customer service is almost non-existent. All the employees I interacted with and that I saw working looked miserable. The employee at the grille reminded me of a New Jersey gas attended because he had his Bluetooth in and was more concerned with his phone call than he was with doing his job. The place wasn't busy, and I waited longer for my order than I normally wait for a cheesesteak at Tony Lukes on a busy day. Food 2 stars: I think this location stays in business strictly based off it's excellent location across the street from the St. Joe's University Basketball Arena. We had 1 cheesesteak with extra American cheese and 1 cheesesteak with American cheese, fried onions, and hot peppers. Neither steak was impressive. Both lacked flavor, and in my opinion, this was the worst cheesesteak I've ever had inside Philadelphia City Limits. The meat was low quality, the roll was soggy, the hot peppers were not fresh, and the fried onions didn't add any flavor. Exterior/Interior 4 stars: It's sad because the place has the look of an establishment that had once been owned by people who took pride in their namesake and the products they sell. The outside was attractive. You can see the grille man at work from the window out front, reminded me of Jim's Steaks on South Street. The inside had nostalgic photos and old signs from the past. One old sign boosted that Larry's had won "best Hoagie Philadelphia/NY competition." From what I experience, that is unfortunately ancient history. Today was my first experience here, and it will be my last. Whomever owns this location should be respectful to the original Larry and sell this place to someone who cares about customer service, food quality, and the history of the establishment. If you decide to try it out, make a post, I'd like to read your opinion.

    Haven't been here in a few years but this place definitely fell off . Ordered a Kobe steak which is suppose to be a special sandwich Kobe Bryant use to order. It wasn't as good as the last one I brought years back . Got a green salad which looked thrown together, nothing was chopped up! I agree with the other comment, someone else own's this establishment and needs to turn it back over to the original owner quick !

    The cheesesteak was pretty solid. Very filling. You have to order at the counter and there's also a menu that outlines their extensive options. It's a pretty no nonsense laid back spot. It was also cool to see all the Kobe pictures and to sit next to his corner.

    Chicken Wings

    Kobe! My husband wanted to come here because of Kobe and cheesesteak. The food was good and the steak was soft. A little messy. Make sure you know what you want because they are not about waiting for you to order. We also got the chicken wings and it was not one of the better ones I've had. If you want to just be a fan of Kobe and visit his corner, it wasn't a bad place for a cheesesteak.

    Philly cheese steak was delicious. Big and bread was fresh and meat was cooked perfectly. Better than any cheese steak in Chicago. The only issue is seating

    My boyfriend and I did a quick stop here to grab Cheesesteaks before leaving Philly. It was an absolutely satisfying stop. The bread was very soft and the perfect texture to soak up all the cheese wiz but not making it soggy. The meat is cooked perfectly, containing its juicy texture and not overcooked. Made sure to add the must have cheese wiz to it and hot peppers to kick it up a notch. Very nice and easy stop and lovely way to end our short visit in Philly.

    A few things tonight. I'm going to show you photos of my food delivered on the ground. I contacted the owner who was extremely rude with me, he says yes, Dr. Williams I remember you, you order for me a lot. But I can't do anything for you? I'm very busy, so I have to hang up now. Is that how you handle business for my returning customers? Absolutely NOT. I do not recommend this business to anyone. And by the way, the pizza and my cheesesteak was cold. if I could rate them a zero, I would do so.

    It had been about 10 years since I set foot in here. I was here for a St Joe's game, and I wanted to see if my previous take was still correct. Yeah they haven't changed much. Well they changed in one aspect. The place is pretty much a Kobe Bryant shrine now compared to last time I saw it. Look, I loved Kobe too. And we all know Kobe loved them. And putting up pictures by his booth was a great touch. The three tv screens behind the counter constantly playing the news report from the last time he came there... a little much. Laying it on thick. They're definitely marketing off his name. And now the problem is, as much as I loved Kobe, I have to question the Mamba's taste in cheesesteaks. They're not bad. But for $11 for the regular they're not worthy of Philly prices. This is a basic suburban cheesesteak at best. My thing was that they used to keep a pile of meat on the grill and dole it out per order. That seems to dry it out. This visit, they did the same style but it wasn't a big pile. And it was mildly busy so it was turning over faster. So it wasn't that bad as far as dryness this time around. But the meat did manage to be a little overdone and a little on the greasy side. The Liscio's roll was disappointingly too soft and not as crusty, which surprised me a little. I'd eat it if it came from a Delco steak shop for $7. But for Philly prices and the Mamba mentality combined, this sandwich was more worthy of the New York Knicks: Coasting on their history and falling disappointingly short every time while being severely overpriced.

    Larry's steaks rarely if ever disappoints overall i'd give this cheesesteak a 3 outta 5 stars ,good portion of food for the price around $15 ,fresh tasty ingredients,friendly welcoming staff, clean booth seating w tvs for dine in, stays open late which is a huge plus.

    This was a pretty good cheesesteak. The belly filler is a good option for 2-3 people to split. There's plenty of seating inside and outside.

    "Oh My God...

I've dined at a place back home and although it tasted pretty good it fell into the latter of these statements above. Dalessandro's , though, changed my mind. Even the most humblest of a Philly Cheesesteak could be awarded such an award. There is nothing bougie/pretentious/overpriced about this establishment, it's staff and/or it's food. I sat there a couple bites in pondering what else I should try next time on my visit. I had the Philly Cheeseteak with sweet peppers with white American on a seeded roll. I had a philly cheese steak at a separate location prior to here, and although it was great, Dalessandros had the right balance of meat to bread to dollar ratio. I was full but content. Full but not bloated.

I believe we got the Ribeye Cheesesteak with onions and peppers, and it was hands down one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. Normally, I'm not a fan of seeded bread and I usually don't like peppers either, but somehow everything worked perfectly together. The creamy cooper American cheese, the soft yet crunchy bread and the thinly sliced ribeye made for such an incredible combination. And much to my surprise the peppers actually added a really nice touch and brought everything together. The portion was absolutely massive, but the flavor was so good that it was hard to stop eating it. Definitely a cheesesteak I'd happily have again!
