Great cheesesteaks..thank goodness they don't chop it to death because I hate that. Sides were good...Not as expensive as Geno's and Pat's and less crowded. My husband will usually stop around the dinner hour if I know he's working in Philly that day. We lived near the Italian market and remember when Pat's and Genos was super cheap and not a tourist trap. I always get extra cheese on mine with onion because I love the drip. Yummy.... :) read more

This place is so much better than the other 2 competition steak places....and u can drive up , wait behind maybe 5 ppl the most and get friendly service ,cheaper bill and great tasting steak....highly recommended ! read more

Was here last night after the club and man the steak is always good

Best cheese steaks in the city which by default also means best cheese steaks in the world.

Place is the real deal. Not a tourist trap and further more they dont have mountains of stack on the grill. everything is freshly grilled. Also everyone seems to love the pizza rolls so good. Just a tip though I would be careful of the hot sauce it is very very hot almost can ruin a great steak. Thanks Phil! read more

Finally got the chance to stop during the day and enjoy my steak. Love this place. I'm new to Yelp and so glad I can finally tell people how I feel about places it eat. Sorry Pat's and Gieno's this place beats you hands down... can't wait till next night work to stop and grab dinner on the run... read more

My go to spot when I want that REAL REAL PHILLY CHEESESTEAK! Banging yo!!! Get a wiz wit' and stop by the other window and get an order of cheese fries and an order cherry coke. Keep up the good work guyssss! read more

There's some meat on there! Tasty, and fresh. Only downside is no seating or restrooms. Does have parking lot, super condiment bar. Go for the "old fashion". read more

Worst cheesesteak ever the new girl have no clue how to make a steak and they change they steak with some cheap steak was the worst wasted 18 bucks on 2 read more

I haven't been there in a year... got 5 to go with American. .. and two with. Awesome cheesesteak!

Oh my goodness, I finally realize why people here are so crazy about cheesesteaks! I'm from the West coast and all the ones I had in Philly before were drippy on limp bread, but not Phil's... oh no.. these are a work of art! The bread is the perfect thickness and blend of chewy and toasty. The steak is thin and flavorful and the fact that you can get hot peppers is a definite plus. The hot pepper provolone with onions and the wiz with onions were both exceptional, but I think I'm partial to cheese wiz. Even my husband who doesn't like cheese wiz thought it was superb. And let's not forget the service. I called to see if I could get some to take home to friends and family and the man I talked to on the phone was super nice and said they'd be willing to pack it special for the plane (bread separate). When I showed up he remembered me and was such a cheerful and nice guy I was really happy to give them my business. I will dream about this place until the next time I'm in town. :) read more

Best cheesesteak place in the city, mainly because they are open 24/7. Just got out of the club/bar at 2am? This is exactly where you wanna be. Try the Italian Sweet Pepper cheesesteak with provolone cheese! read more

The steak tasted so clean and full of flavor. Usually when I get cheesesteaks with onions they give a lot of onions and the onions have amazing flavor it's rich with goodness. Honestly this place is amazing and underrated it. I love coming here and if you want a good steak. For the tourist checking out the place order a onion steak WIT WHIZ and don't say WITH make sure you say WIT it's a Philadelphia thing. read more

The best cheesesteaks in Philly! The service is top notch. This place is my go to spot anytime I am heading to or back from an event in the Philadelphia area. Their cheese fries are pretty tasty as well. I recommend getting a cheesesteak with both wiz and American cheeses. You won't be disappointed! read more

South Philly Cheesesteak is yummy-yummy here, if you can drive to the end of South Philadelphia's Passyunk Avenue. I often forget this place is here because it kind of away from everything else. But if you want convenient pick up a great fast food place, swing by here off of 76 east and exit Passyunk Avenue. Please pick up my favorites here: chicken mushroom cheesesteak, cheese fries and a cherry coke for me too, thanks! ;-P read more

Whenever anyone asks me what I like better, Pat's or Geno's, I always answer, "Philip's of course." I love this place. There are a number of great reasons this is the best steak spot in town. But let's just talk about the steak. Some places like to chop the meat like crazy when it's on the grill, giving it an almost ground meat consistency. Most pizza places do this, and so does Jim's and Dallesandro's. Geno's and Pat's, and Tony Luke, and Steve's Princess Steaks, all leave the steak unchopped, which is better. But Philip lands right in the middle, he chops it a couple times. And there is plenty of meat, without it being ridiculous. The meat is fresh cut every morning. Philip himself told me that he does it most of the time. And due to the fact that it's kinda out of the way, there's never a long line and they make your steak to order. It's not sitting on a pile or in a warmer like the busy places at cheese steak corner. And Philip's will accommodate any special order. My friend likes his steak with sauce, and he likes it cooked with the sauce on the grill, and he likes a lightly sauteed hoagie onion, not the chopped onions, and they'll do that for him, no problem. try asking somebody at Pat's or geno's or jim's to do that. you'll get stabbed, or at least glared at and told to move to the back of the line. Anyway, this place is the best. So if you're in your car trying to park at pat's and geno's, just keep driving and go up to broad street, make a left, and then make a right at passyunk. it's about 5 min's down the road. the extra time you spend in your car will be handed back to you in spades when you can just walk right up to the counter and get your delicious steak right away. All without freezing your ass in line, and trying not to get in a fight with one of the hundreds of drunk douchebags around you. No excuses, Philip's is open all night, too. read more

That was a really great authentic cheesesteak recommended to me by a philly local. I zipped up from Citizen Bank Ballpark and was in and out and back in my seat with a hot, juicy Old Fashion cheesesteak in under 30 minutes. Will definitely go back next time I'm in town read more

this is very hard for me to do. but after been a loyal customer to these guys for so long 10+ years easy. I never had back to back to back an awful cheese steak. tonight topped it off. over the last few months I been seeing changes to the spot. looks like new owners or new management. benches are put out, they have their logo on napkins & the wrappers now. but they changed the bread, got super cheap on the meat & the ppl they have attitude problems. the old ppl who ran Phillips before are now at Oregon steaks which is a 5 mins drive from Here. Phillips are no longer my go to for steaks & it hurt me writing this but it's a must.' read more

Went on a Tuesday the two young guys are really awesome. Clearly care for the business.

Philips steaks has been around for quite some time and is a great spot to get a cheesteak. It is better than the tourist spots (Geno's & Pats). They make each steak fresh & made to order. I always get the Old fashion cheesteak (provolone cheese, tomatoes, longhots, mushrooms, and onions) delicious !!! read more

On friday morning I was pulling up in the lot at Phil's, and some guy with a green car was mopping his car. Is this a car wash or a steak shop???? The girl at the window was very helpful, and had a great since of humor. She was working both windows, while the guy was too busy washing his car to help, and when he did come in to help. He seemed to be very cocky, and I think he has a problem with people of color too. Even tho the sandwich was good, I don't think I'll be back. read more

Good,fresh and hot. Decent price. Will make it a must every time were working in the area.

If you want to eat the best cheesesteak in philly, come to Phillips. If you want a mediocre tourist spot then this is not the place for you but Phillips steaks is a land slide better than geno"s and pats. Do yourself a favor and avoid the places everyone has heard and go to this gem! read more

I picked this place only because it is closer to where I was in South Philly. We ordered one cheese steak, one Italian hoagie, and one french fry. Very little meat found in the Cheese steaks sandwich and hoagie. I could get a better hoagie at lower price at any Subways or Wawa store. Any McDonald's franchise store will make a better food than their $4 french fries. This is an overrated store by more than two stars. read more

Awesome cheestesteaks. It is not chopped! This place makes great steak. You have to eat it with the hot peppers and there hot sauce!

I LOVE this place. Whenever I am close to the area I make it a point to stop by and get a cheesesteak; sometimes 2 so I can have one for later. The customer service is great and it 100% beats anything from Pats or Genos. Classically concocted Philly cheesesteak for sure. I recommend this establishment to anyone that's looking for an authentic steak. read more

Drove down from NYC- a buddy from Philly recommended Philips ... To be fair we did a side by side with Gino's and pats as well- Phillips won hands down!!! This is a locals place that makes a cheese steak the way it should be - meaty cheesey awesome goodness!! read more

I'll admit, I'm more of a chopped-steak guy. However, after living in the Philly area my entire life, I've built up some cheesesteak gusto. My friends and I grabbed some steaks from Philip's a few nights ago before watching the Warriors - Cavs game. I got my typical "wiz wit", while my brother got a provolone without, and my friend got a provolone with. After eating our steaks, we all concurred that they were just average. The steak was mildly flavored, but nothing that set it apart. Wiz was plentiful, yet the bread just didn't have that classic Amaroso flavor. Again...just an average steak. read more

Ordered here for YEARS n last night was the WORST . One slice of each meat on an Italian hoagie, for 9$!!! No extra ch on a ch steak that I asked, & they charged me for! Also way to many onions & not enough meat! Very disappointed read more

Best cheesesteak in Philly. I usually get provo and wiz with but i've had other variations and Philips is consistently the best cheesesteak around. Forget Genos, Pats and Jims, they are mediocre. Steve's is good, but Philips is the best in the area (thought i'd say it one more time) Oh and one more thing, they're POLITE and COOL people. Unlike the guys at some other places (who i will not name) that have come close to getting smacked in the face with a baguette. read more

pretty good if you ask me, and i don't have to wait in a silly line and make sure i order correctly like them other joints. be careful of the pigeons tho, they might want to fight you for a piece of your sandwich or fries. read more

I'm just going to get straight to the point. The steaks were awful. Maybe we went during a bad time but they weren't as delicious as everyone said. My father and I ordered the mushroom steak and my mother ordered the chicken steak. My steak had more fat on it than meat, highly disappointed! My mother barely ate her steak. We will never eat here again...waste of money. read more

So delicious! We couldn't decide where to stop for a cheesesteak while I was in Philadelphia for a conference but so many people recommended Philip's so we went. Fantastic subs - I got the Old Fashioned with sweet peppers and my my mom got a mushroom cheesesteak with American cheese. The best cheesesteak I've ever had! read more

They got my order wrong which is to say they left mushrooms and onions off a very simple order. The hoagie was dry and bland. Will not be returning. read more

When we`re in Philly we always make it to Philip`s and always bring some cheese steaks home to North Jersey. Friendly workers and great food. Try the chicken steaks and fresh pork with gravy. I`ve been to pat`s,geno`s and tony luke`s they`re all good but Philip`s is my favorite. read more

you wanna wait in line with tourists and lower merion teenagers? go to johns. u want the best, most authentic steak u can get on earth? wait in line with the fiends and crackheads at philips at 4am. you wont be disappointed. read more

Everyone told me to try it so I brought one home.When I unwrapped it I was looking in the bag for the meat!It was a good cheese w/onions on a steak roll but I had to add my own steak cause there was none read more

Best place in the city for a steak. Usually go before or after Phillies games. Cooked to order meat is always juicy, I love the place, never too crowded but always steady. Do yourself a favor an try it. They have easy parking too! read more

I have had cheesesteaks EVERY WHERE in the city!! I have lived in Philadelphia for over 30 years. Today I went to Phillips to try something new, to my surprise I am sure the served me the best tasting Cheese Steak I EVER had. It was called an"oldfashion" It was A Cheese steak with long hots fried onions provolone cheese and fresh sliced tomato's YUM YUM YUM read more

This is not the place for tourists, it's the real deal! The beef was done perfectly, the roll was moist and warm, the cheese perfectly melted. I had the vinegar fries, they were good, but could have been cooked just a little more. I came from Portland Oregon for this cheese steak sandwich and I'd do it again in a heart beat! Chef Barbie drove 100 miles an hour to get me there, what a ride, what a cheesesteak!!!!! read more
