    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.

    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.

Absolutely the star of the show--fresh, soft, and delicious. Unfortunately, that's where the excitement ended for me. The steak itself was surprisingly bland and severely underseasoned, lacking the flavor and punch I was expecting. After just two bites, I was completely done. I came in expecting an iconic food experience and left disappointed. If this is considered one of the best, then Philly cheesesteaks might just not be for me. For my taste buds, this one was a definite bust.

    There's a Reason It's a Landmark - so good, even reheated six hours later!…read more - - - - - - - - November, 2025 Visit We were in town for a family baby shower and decided to enjoy some Philly steak and cheese for a late breakfast / early lunch. Good call. I wanted to compare both establishments at the x-shaped intersection of 9th & Passyunk. I ordered a Philly with Swiss and mushrooms - it was really really good. Due to the cool morning and other factors we left before finishing the sandwich... after a quick day of sightseeing we were visiting family for dinner and I popped the Pat's into the oven for 10 minutes and it was GREAT for dinner... we cut it into pieces and shared - fantastic!! Both are really good, and I will nod my cap to Pat's, who is also the original location. Pat's is open 24x7 and has picnic tables on the sidewalk (none inside); there is no onsite restroom. Good food; Thanks, Pat's! ----- ----- -----

    The Philly locals were right...STAY AWAY!!…read more I've been to Pat's over 20 years ago for a quick trip into Philly from NYC. My family and I thought it was good and was our intro to a cheeses steak in Philly. Fast forward to 2026 I was now visiting in from Los Angeles. I did a ton of research prior to my visit and almost everyone on social media said to avoid Pat's. Well, just for the nostalgia and respect to the originator, I took my wife and unfortunately Pat's was not good at all. Maybe if we were very hungry, stoned or drunk it would justify a visit, but even then I'm not sure it would satisfy. We ordered what they recommended, a cheese steak with onions and wiz. Compared to what we had earlier that day, which was Uncle Gus' at Reading Terminal Market, this sandwich paled in comparison. There's no need to ever come back here. There are WAY better cheese steaks all over Philly.
