First trip to Philadelphia, so of course I was going to try a Philly cheesesteak. Shay's Steaks did…read morenot disappoint. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I made this picture to commemorate the experience.

I don't throw around "best cheesesteak in Philly" lightly, but after eating at Shay's Steaks, I'm…read morenot sure there's a better one. I ordered the Philly Special, and it was phenomenal from the first bite to the last. The steak was tender and packed with flavor, the cheese was perfectly balanced, and everything came together on a roll that held up without getting in the way. Every ingredient felt intentional. Philadelphia has no shortage of great cheesesteak spots, but Shay's stands out. You can tell they're focused on quality, and it shows in every bite. If you're looking for a cheesesteak that lives up to the hype, this is the place. For me, this wasn't just a great sandwich. It was one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. I'll absolutely be back.

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.

Holy cannoli, where do I begin? Obviously you come here for their cheesesteak, so let's talk about…read moreit. Okay, the bun - it's sesame and it's toasted to perfection. You can subtly taste the sesame in each bite. Sometimes you'll crunch on a small sesame seed in between bites, surprising you with its toasty flavors. The meat - pause - is cooked so well with the Cooper Sharp cheese, you get a few burnt ends which provides a nice crunch every now and then. The meat itself is seasoned well, but doesn't overpower all the other aspects of the sandwich. It does its job, sometimes singing a split during the song but never out performing the rest of the band members. The cheese - the Cooper Sharp they suggest to go with their cheesesteak is deliciously intentional. No wiz here, which is both a positive and a negative but man does the cheese work well with the meat. It cuts through but doesn't work too hard in the symphony of the sandwich. It sings along harmoniously with the onions, bread, and meat. The service was fast and quick. Very kind at the counter. Angelos is fast paced, when you're ready type your name and number at the counter, let them know your order and wait a couple minutes. It's fast paced, loud, and energetic. Truly nothing less than what I thought the City of Brotherly Love would provide. 5/5 great experience,

I've been to Geno's and Pat's before on previous visits to Philly and wanted to try something new…read more To be honest, I was not super impressed with either of the aforementioned, so I really did some research this time around. The internet led me to Sonny's, which was our first cheesesteak of the trip. It ended up being the best cheesesteak that we had on the trip. We had a cheesesteak with onions and cheeze whiz. The meat was really good quality, very tender, and super flavorful. This really hit the spot - we had been thinking of cheesesteaks for a few weeks! There's plenty of seating inside and when we were there around 5pm, we had no wait at all.

IGNORE ANY REVIEW THAT IS BEFORE 2022, those are from the original shop, not this one…read more Don't be fooled (like I was) This is not a variation on Tony Lukes... The name confused me to begin with and I should have gone with my gut and saved it from this assault of fatty glob. I used to come here and bring visitors to Philadelphia for a taste of a great Philly cheesesteak on the way to the airport. Won't make that mistake again. Meat was overcooked, not juicy at all. Lots of fat and grizzle, almost inedible. If I wasn't in Philly (and you know how it can get) I would have asked for my money back instead of tossing half in the trash. Save you tastebuds and go anywhere (seriously anywhere in philly) and you can get a much better sandwich. Nicks roast pork makes a better cheesesteak and its only up the street near 10th (8 blocks)

There is a small outdoor seating area, but I wouldn't recommend it for large groups because space is limited. They get very busy, so I highly recommend calling your order in ahead of time. They provide an order number, and when you arrive, your food is usually ready for pickup. Since the inside can get crowded with customers waiting for orders, calling ahead makes the process much easier. The cheesesteaks are really good, and I've also enjoyed their pizza. The service is good, and the staff seem to work well together to keep things moving and make sure customers get what they need. Overall, I enjoy coming here. It's not very close to where I live, but I still stop by and order when I'm in the area.
