Chicken Cheesesteak is bumping! Prompt courteous service. Busy yet organized & reasonably priced.

The cheesesteak I had was dry and not as flavorful as others I've had. The Kobe corner and all of the art is very inviting. I would be willing to try again next time I visit the area, but was disappointed this first time around. read more

My husband and have patronized Larry's Hoagie and Steak Shop for over forty years. The food, service and the ambiance has changed drastically . The cashier, the cooks were rude and not at all customer friendly. In fact, while waiting for my order a customer told one of the staff how rude he and his staff were. His response was nothing. The cashier acted as if she was doing you a favor by ordering. No thank you, you're welcome. My sandwich was ok, not worth the ride. Yes, it was the reputation that kept me going back, but I will not patronize this establishment again. The entire staff need to enroll in customer service training. No rating. read more

I don't have much to say about this place other than it's legit. I only cheesesteaks from 3 places in Philly and this is one of them. My family has been coming here since I was a kid and the place never fails. Over the years they have always had good service and great Philly cheesesteaks. Don't waste your time at Pat's or Gino's. They suck and are basically the fast food of Philly cheesesteaks. #Gross Check this place out and thank me later. :-) read more

Food was okay. I bought a house Philly cheesesteak for $15+ and it was not tasty. There was barely any cheese. The cheese cake there was subpar. Their only redeemer was the fries. read more

These are delicious! Went to another place and it was terrible! Visited from Los Angeles and we ordered the "Kobe Special" and it was DELICIOUS! For sure we will be back again! read more

It's been a good minute since I've had Larry's Steaks , I mean a GOOD minute. The last time I had Larry's there wasn't any flat screen TV's hanging on the walls, the seating area was mediocre at best. The last time I was here is when "The Muddy Duck" was still around. A well known St. Joes dive bar at the time that used to be a staple for the university's finest. What didn't change was their cheesesteaks, all the other cosmetics is fine and dandy, but their sammy stayed true. Larry's is a landmark in these parts that has been around for decades, and by the looks of it Larry's is not going anywhere. Who is their nearest competition when it comes to a great steak? That's right, nobody, not a single joint that I can think of that is even close in this area. Their cheesesteaks are simply bangin. Greasy as all hell, but still bangin! They do chop it up a little too much I believe, but it still works for them. Normally when a joint chops it up, it takes away that flavor where it is bland and they try to cover it up with globs of cheese. I haven't had anything else off of their menu, because basically I know what works here and it is their cheesesteaks. I leave it up to you if you feel the need to venture off into something new. Go in and order yourself an American wit, with hot peppers. (if you want to add some heat to it) I think you'll be satisfied, along with your belly being full. read more

My food wasn't up to standard in the beginning and the manager called and apologized and made it right. The 2nd batch is great.

This place is gross! While in line ordering my uncle happened to notice flies on the pizzas in their case. They moved the pizzas but didn't dispose of them. None of our sandwiches had the proper toppings we asked for, but they gave us hair. I could get better service and food from a corner store. read more

The service was good the place looks OK but for the amount of money that you spent for a cheesesteak it's not worth it the steak was very dry and with no taste people at the college may not know what a cheesesteak taste like but that's not it I've had better at one of these neighborhood stores read more

I've been a loyal customer to Larry's Steaks for years now, however the quality of the food and service has been going down hill. Today I spent $60 for my food to be made carelessly. I ordered a cheesesteak with extra mayo, at the counter. I received my food seeing that it wasn't extra mayo, and after asking for extra mayo again, the worker was rude as she said, "Once the sandwich is made, the kitchen can't go back to put mayo on the bread." This is how I got my sandwich back after saying that I asked for extra mayo when my order was taken. read more

Worst hoagie I've ever had, and I'm FROM this area. Been here many times in the past, but not for a couple of years. Very poor service. Never again!!! read more

Terrible service. Called to place an order 3 times over the span of about an hour. The first two times, the phone just rang for minutes without an answer. The third time, someone picked up the phone and immediately hung it up. I guess they don't want business! Hire poor staff and you get poor business. read more

In 2021 hubby and I stopped by Larry's and each ordered a Belly Filler cheesesteak. They were so good that we both ate them within a 48hr timespan. We stopped by again on Wednesday and ordered the exact same thing. They were inedible. I repeat: They were INEDIBLE. There was so much gristle in the meat that you could not chew it nor could it be swallowed. We paid $45.00 for an inedible............ What happened? There is no way they were unaware of the quality of the material they were serving. NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they could serve outstanding food during COVID at one of it's surges what the ......... are they doing serving crap now? It will not be a repeat on our end. read more

I like Larry's on Girard much better. Girard ave Larry's ran much better and the employee's work well together. Good CS but bad vibe. The belly buster cost more. read more

I had an italian cold cut hoagie with everything the normal way. This was huge! The service was pretty fast and the bread was fresh. The deli meat was cold, plentiful and tasty. I actually watched them make my sandwich, which was so big i clearly thought it was a meatbuster or belly buster, i cant remember the proper title but its basically a bigger sandwich and someone else's order. The guy had to take a platter and cut in it half to wrap my sandwich up. It was huge! And it was pretty good. I did check and i had a regular size sandwich so I cannot imagine eating an upgraded one. Sheesh meat coma.. lol On my last day in town I ordered a cheese steak hoagie and that was pretty decent too. Pretty meaty and the right amount of cheese, they used the same soft bread. For a cold cut hoagie, this is the place but for the cheesesteak Max's is still best in my opinion. read more

I'm just giving it a 5 out of 5 off the strength of this being Kobe Bryant's favorite spot and them honoring Kobe with a $5 cheesesteak special. The actual steak could use more meat but still not bad for the price. It's thought that counts here. It tasted good and I actually wasn't completely stuffed like I be at other steaks spots (which isn't a bad thing). I've been here before a couple years ago and thought it was solid. Good community atmosphere in West Philly/St Joes neighborhood. It's very welcoming. Would definitely grab food from here again when in the area. read more

Well.. this review is hard for me. It's like a beautiful marriage gone terribly wrong. I placed an order on the online app they advertise for you to use. I was given a time for pickup. I showed up about 15 minutes later than scheduled to give time to have it ready. Here is were the cheesesteak place I have been patronizing for over a decade and I always promote them when people ask where to get a good sandwich from, showed me exactly how much they care about their customers. I walk in I'm not greeted. The lady at the register acted as if she didn't see me.. meanwhile her co worker continues to write on a note pad. When the lady at the register finally acknowledged me I say "good morning" and I tell her I have a pick up order. I give her the name she goes we didn't take your name. I explained the app takes the name. So after several exchanges of you don't have an order I show them the receipt. She still denies it but, the young lady working with her asked to look at my receipt. I show her. They will now begin to make my order, however they have to manually take the order. I give the younger lady my phone she wrote down the order. I do notify them I had a flight to catch and I put the order in early so I could head straight to the airport after I leave(as I always do). I asked for it to be packed to travel.. they used to be really good at doing this. Trust I know, I take cheesesteaks home to Tennessee every-time I come to Philly. This time They didn't bother. They barely wrapped them. The one piece of aluminum foil they wrapped around my sandwich unraveled. So now the cheesesteaks are all inside the bag they threw it. Wow Larry's this is what we are doing now...... I won't be returning. I don't care how much my father loves this place... Never an apology for the mishap. But, what could I expect when the lady at the register isn't even friendly. read more

Delicious! Soft bread, plenty of hot meat, topping ratio was great, regular cheesesteak is plenty big. I got mine with American and provolone, fried onions, mayo and ketchup (they traditionally come with SPK: salt, pepper, ketchup). I thought the ketchup was going to be a little off but it added a little tangy flavor. I like that it wasn't overloaded with cheese. The meat is the star here and the cheese is rightfully supporting cast. My friend got a mixed cheese hoagie all the way (cherry peppers, red onion, tomato, lettuce, pickles) that was quite good. Neither the cheesesteak nor the hoagie was dry or oily. I ate too much but wanted more when it was all gone! read more

As surprising as it is, this was my first time at Larry's. I'm a St Joes alum and this place is pretty much on campus. I really was craving wings so I ordered 3 fried wings and a slice of pepperoni pizza. The lady at the counter seemed rather miserable but wasn't impolite. She just didn't seem to want to be there which is understandable I guess. We dined in and the place was rather clean which was nice. I enjoyed the pizza it was a nice portion for the price and tasty. The wings however were ATROCIOUS! They were fried so hard you couldn't separate the skin from the wing if you wanted to. They were about a minute from charcoal. I'd think I give them another shot, just NEVER order the wings. I guess that's what I get ordering wings from a place that specializes in steaks. Until next time read more

Ordered with whiz and onions. Got it home, no onions. Meet was chewy and so was the bread. I want to like this place, but with so many other options, I just can't do it again. read more

Waited over 1 hour for a cheesesteak .. wasn't worth the wait or money. Would only recommend if last resort

I got desperate. This place cannot be saved by the legacy of Kobe Bryant. This was my second visit in 2 months time. I wasn't crazy about my cheesesteak the last time. So we opted for a Stromboli. The steak Stromboli was all dough with a bit of steak. Ugh, $16 for a large that I had to stick in my own oven to make firmer. But still, too much dough. I could go on about the lack of friendly customer service, but the rest of you 1-star reviewers already know about that. Sorry Larry, you were good in the past. Nowadays not so much. read more

Great comfort food here, but the customer service, or lack there of, is completely unacceptable. Was waiting for well over 45 minutes, and there were people before me who didn't even get their food when I received my order. Staff didn't respond when someone asked the status of their food read more

A St. Joe's classic, no other cheese steak compares for me, the atmosphere is collegiate and rambunctious of course, but for me that's what has the appeal. The sandwiches are huge, super juicy, and will help you wake up less hungover after a big night out. I try to eat as vegetarian as I can, but if Im going to cheat, this is the spot. read more

This is my first time having a Philly Cheesesteak, it was ordered for me so I can only give a review on that. The restaurant when you pull up looks like a high class carry out, it's in a nice looking neighborhood and the table outside are clean. Inside it looks like a pizza shop carry out. Anyway; the cheesesteak-my boyfriend ordered a Belly Filler, with provolone cheese, grilled onions and ketchup...at least I know that's what was put on it, not sure if it had mayo or not. I would have personally gotten lettuce, mayo, fried peppers and onions, extra provolone, and then the ketchup. Putting ketchup on a cheesesteak sounds sooooo foreign to me because in MD/DC we don't do that, but I guess me putting lettuce on a cheesesteak is the equivalent to how he felt when he ordered ketchup. I will say GET THE KETCHUP! It was good but I felt like it was missing something, would deff recommend and will be going back when I'm in Philly again but I'm ordering my own. For the record I ate half of the belly filler while he ate a quarter of the other half of the sandwich. I'm kind of craving one now actually. read more

I really wanted this place to be good. But it turned out just ok. It's got a cool vibe inside, you can tell the place has history to it. But it's also kinda dirty. The cashier seemed like they were having a really bad day and me placing my order was a bother to them. I will say one thing - the cheesesteak was huge! I ordered the regular size and it was big. Good amount of meat on there. But it wasn't very flavorful. I needed more flavor on the meat. It was also dry. And the bread was pretty mushy. I needed a little more substance to the bread. But I ate it all up! lol. All that to say - decent cheesesteak, but not among the top. read more

Was a great sandwich I will definitely get them service was great and all the staff was very cheerful

SERIOUSLY DISAPPOINTING!!! On a calm day I walk in there and there's only two people. I order a Philly cheesesteak with provolone and mayo and onion. What I got in return was a dry Philly cheesesteak missing was the mail onion and the cheese. What the F! I'm going to try them one more time to be fair. I'd like for this to work out but if not the rare times I have to go to Maxis to get a serious cheesesteak sandwich that's what I'll have to do... read more

Great cheese steaks next to St. Joe's in Philly. The fries brought it all together. Sure you have to wait while they make a killer cheese steak (or chicken cheeaesteak) but OMG it is well worth the foreplay. We ordered 3 sandwiches for 4 of us and had to take a sandwich home with us (but they had aluminum foil ready to go - I can only assume this happens alot!). All hail Larry! Thanks for a great lunch! read more

What people say about the service is true. You can't have people like this interfacing with potential customers. It's like I'm somehow burdening you by contacting you for business. This is a huge detriment to the store that will eventually cause it to close. Whatever girl is answering your phones on Thursday nights 9:30pm 3/11/21 is costing you everything. She's single handedly driving your business into the ground. read more

My father was just in there to get me a cheesesteak. He inquired what was being added to the cheesesteak because has deadly food allergies. The man preparing my steak was very rude and said it was the rest of the ingredients. Again my Dad inquired again. He was told to just leave and get his money back. I don't live in this state so getting a Larry's cheesesteak is a treat for me. We will not be patronizing your establishment anymore. read more

Not worth it! Extremely rude staff that has no clue how to run a business. They will mess up your order and then get rude about it. They are overpriced for a nothing more than okay cheesesteak. They try to market off of Kobe so much it's creepy! Never again! read more

Best steaks near City Line! The last order I had I felt like the meat was pretty skimpy on mine and my boyfriends but hopefully that was just a 1 time thing because that isn't usually the case. I've been going there about 15 years. read more

Just don't do it. Everything about the experience was not good at all. The environment was dirty. Had I seen the grill before I paid for my food I would not have eaten there. Cashier wasn't very polite. The food was just ok. read more

Horrible service, girl at register extremely rude. Cheesesteak totally came out wrong, as to the way I asked for it. Moreover, they forgot my fries. I had to go up and ask for them multiple times. Non the less, I still payed $14 for all this. What a waste of time and money. I will never go there again, and I DO NOT recommend this place! read more

Larry's cheesesteaks are still the best. They used to have very good fries but now they are not as tasty as they were years ago.

Yeah I can't lie about this one. Probably the best cheesesteak in the area for such a good price. Absolutely mind blowing. That belly buster is insane. Will definitely be coming back to Philadelphia just for these cheesesteaks. read more

Larry's Steaks - I believe this is called the belly buster. Sooooo good - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Well it's wasn't bad. I ordered a Philly cheese steak. The bun was soft and crispy at the same time which was nice. The meat was seasoned ok but slightly overcooked which dried it out a tad. But the worse offense for me was the cheese. When I asked if they forgot the cheese the woman said it was there at the bottom. Really, do I need a magnifier to find it? Cuz it was barely discernable. I think the cheese in a philly CHEESE steak should be pretty evident. Just saying, it's sort of a simple recipe : meat cheese bread. Anywho, the fries were tasty, atmosphere was nice and the bathrooms were very clean. read more
