Tried the chicken Philly cheesesteak and a regular Philly cheesesteak. I think both sandwiches were a little below average. Flavor of the meat was ok and it didn't have enough cheese on it for my liking. read more

Didn't blow us away. Not bad. Basic counter service place and the people were fine. Cheesesteak - ok. Not huge, no cheez whiz, bread. Was fine not great. Was hoping for more from my first Philly visit. read more

First time here with a group. The food was decent but I thought the peppers and onions should have been cooked and not a cold condiment? One thing I will absolutely say is some type of nonslip tread needs to be applied to the wood stairs because since it was raining, we had at least two kids slip down the stairs because they were slippery due to them being wet from the rain. read more

No frills deli with excellent cheesesteaks. Reasonable prices and very tasty, although the portions are not as big as some other places in town. Don't skip the fries, they tasted very fresh and just the right amount of crisp! read more

Philly's Gourmet Steaks - Cheesesteak - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

You walk in and you're probably thinking, "There's no way this place has any good cheesesteaks." After all, cheesesteaks can be a hit or miss. Maybe the bread is too chewy or hard. Maybe the steak is dry or scarce. But, I was wrong. Once I got my order, I went downstairs and some guy plugged his phone into the speakers and started playing music. It's dimly lit with neon signs everywhere and there are lunch tables spread out in this basement. It reminded me of a grown up middle school lunch period except for the random guy blasting trap in the corner. Interestingly enough, it made me think, this is definitely why I love Philly. So now that the vibes are immaculate, you open up your roll and the cheesesteak is smothered with wiz and the beef is plentiful. There was not a single bite of dry steak. The cheese and steak melted together like how it was meant to be. But the bread... the bread was soft yet durable enough to hold everything together. The bread didn't break and it didn't fill your mouth to the point all you were eating was bread. The steak and cheese hit your taste buds first, followed by the soft and spongy texture if the bread. Each bite was truly a blessing. I'm not cheesesteak connoisseur but damn, that was a good cheesesteak. read more

The best chicken cheesesteak that I've had in Philly so far! My go to order is a chicken cheesteak with, mayo, ketchup, lettuce, salt and pepper, and provolone. I also ordered a side of cheese fries. The service is really polite but it does take a while to get your food depending on the crowd. The place is cute on the inside. It gives convenience store turned restaurant. You're able to buy wine and spirts also here which I thought was dope. They also have a bar located downstairs that I have never been to, but plan on checking out. read more

This place may look ordinary, but it's a sandwich sensation. Fresh, plant-based vegetarian steaks and burgers? They've got 'em! And when the sun sets, it's a steak and libations party. With plenty of seating, including downstairs, it's the cheap and tasty spot to get your sandwich fix. The service was good. Don't underestimate the quirky surprises that await you here! read more

Don't let the bodega front fool you- believe the hype! Now, I'm a "new yawker"- I don't know the first thing about what makes a cheesesteak great. But this spot definitely falls into that category for me! We stopped by late at night, looking for a cheesesteak before we headed home to NYC. While talking to a bartender about food in the area- he told us we had to try the cheesesteak here. A local was giving it a glowing review- so we had to stop by! After getting our respective sandwiches (him steak, me chicken) we headed downstairs to what is certainly a unique seating area. Cafeteria tables, fun lights, and a sign that says to please not dance on the tables. It was definitely a vibe- and I was feelin' it! The cheesesteaks were perfection and everything we had hoped for. I'd definitely stop by if I was in the neighborhood again! read more

Was walking and wondering around Philly and we came across this spot. When in Philly gotta have a cheesesteak right? We ordered the plain steak and the boys shared a cheesesteak hoagie. the cheesesteaks here was legit. The employees were nice and fun to interact with. They cracked jokes with my boys while cooking. meat was nice and juicy and it sure filled us up quickly read more

This is a slop Philly cheesesteak spot. The sole purpose of this spot is for schools who take a trip to Philly to bring the kids on the field trip to have a cheesesteak experience. From one order to the Next. there is no consistency and no the children do not get what they asked for and teenagers know what they want to eat. My family has been to Philly and have had cheesesteaks at different places, but when we came with the school and they came to this establishment that is not even steak meat is thinly shaved gristle read more

I appreciate that this place is open late night so whenever you're out and every other kitchen is closed they're there to the rescue. The employees there were super funny and cracked jokes with me while I awaited my order. I got a regular steak with onions, provolone, chips, and a soda. $17. The bread was perfect, sandwich was filling but I did have several bits of bone in it and I was kinda scared of chopping a tooth so I abandoned the meal. Not saying I won't go back, because I definitely will. I'll update my review at that time. read more

I was torn between three and four stars. Service was fast, and friendly Roll was fresh. Portion size was ample. The onions had no flavor. I cook with onions all the time-They were just very bland. I could see them, and there were plenty of them, but they had no flavor. Very odd-it makes me wonder if the onions were steamed or boiled.We also ordered these with "wiz"- (good old cheez wiz) but it really didn't taste like cheez wiz-the flavor was different and it grossed me out a little. They put a ton of it in the cheesesteak-but the flavor was off to me. I've had more flavorful cheesesteaks. Last time we came to Philly we went to Sonny's. It was tasty, but they skimped on the wiz. I'll definitely try a different place next time I'm in Philadelphia. read more

8.1/10. LOOK NO FURTHER WHEN looking for a spot to consume some AMAZING cheesesteaks. Welcoming vibe when entering. The cheese pull was AMAZING. SEASONING SPECTACULAR. As an over or under connoisseur UNDER 5.5. MADE TO ORDER. AMAZING. Price could be better $15.17 for a mushroom cheesesteak. Onions are included but could use some more. Was looking for to a place to eat when going to ice skate and found this place. If I were to rate this place in terms of driving, I would drive 20 minutes every 3 months for this place. read more

fast. efficient. chicken cheesesteak hoagie was yum. had it to go so can't comment on ambience. staff was friendly.

I decided to try someplace new for national cheesesteak day, which led me to Philly's Gourmet Steaks. I ordered a standard cheesesteak with onions, American cheese, and ketchup. The woman making the cheesesteak made it perfectly. Chopped juicy steak, just the right amount of onions, plenty of melted American cheese, and the right amount of ketchup. It was messy and delicious! Unfortunately, the roll holding it all together was not top quality, preventing it from being a 5 star steak shop. But it's really close to home and I will put it in my rotation. read more

Amazing Reuben! My sandwich was made with both corn beef and regular sliced beef! I will definitely return!

Best steak and cheese I found in Philadelphia. Out of Towner's~ this place had great sandwiches and a decent place to sit. No frills, don't care. Voted #1 steak and cheese in the city by me and my son. read more

First time back in 2 years and I was really looking forward to it. Wasn't *terrible* but it was dry, mostly bread and the peppers and onions were almost flavorless. Hope it's a one off event and not a trend. read more

Came here with the Marshall Crenshaw band before a show at the city winery. We knew it was great because there was lots of locals in here and everybody seemed very happy. Let's just say our temples were a little slower because we were so full. read more

I'm not sure what happened but my Philly steak sandwich meat was so cut up they were basically tiny meat crumbs. It tasted like ground beef almost . I definitely would not come by again especially when there are so many other options for great cheese steaks in this city . The bread was pretty good quality but overall I was really disappointed. Even the cheese steaks from Jersey mikes are better . read more

Honestly, this is my go to place for food when all the bars/restaurants close. They make great food far past the time when most restaurants in the area close. Plus it doesn't hurt that you can buy wine/beer until 1:30a. I have never frequented a place as much as I have them. Totally worth it. read more

this is definitely a salad cheese sticks. OK I'm using auto correct and it's actually solid cheese steak. With that being said I am from Philadelphia and I do not like these touristy spots that much. So I give it a generous four out of five. Also hey I really think that it could have been a lot more meat in the cheesesteak. So the Taurus can enjoy the bullshit food in Philadelphia. But for real I'm trying to be plant plant based, so no more cheese or steak for me Questlove it is I guess read more

Came here for lunch today because it was Friday, and who doesn't like cheesesteaks? Unfortunately, the picture advert outside looks a little more appetizing than what I received. It was still very good with the "restaurant hand-shaved choice ribeye" and fried onions and mushrooms I asked for. It was a little light on the meat and over on the cheese (your choice) but was fresh and just at the right mark for construction where it was not going to fall apart when you picked it up. I'm sure many of you have experienced a cheesesteak fail by being too greasy and falling apart with a lousy roll. This was not the case at Philly's Gourmet Steaks. They also have burgers, fries, onion rings, hoagies, salads, breakfast items, hot dogs, chicken, and is also a beer bottle shop! How great is that? They have several specials with the sandwiches, and although I'm not sure I'd get another cheesesteak here, it certainly wasn't the worst thing I've ever had. read more

Okay, here we go. I ordered 2 cheese steaks w/ American and Jalapeno cheese. 1 order of fries. I was hype about them because it says they're the best downtown. I can tell the steak is real steak and not Murray meat. Yes I said Murray's and I'm telling my age. The bread was soft, the fries were fresh and hot. I will give it 8/10: due to the price. It wasn't worth $48. read more

I would say that this place is more of a three and a half but definitely a solid cheesesteak. Made fresh to order cheese is melted steak is nice and tasty and the roll is your average Amoroso or Lucio's type of roll. read more

Mushroom cheesesteak had the desired oil drip factor. Warm bread, thin crust, generous steak, onion and mushroom. Choice of cheeses.

This is the best cheesesteak on Market Street that no one is eating. I'm not saying it's better than Oh Brother. I am saying there's a line out the door at Campos and Sonny's, you go another block and here's a place that's big, bright, clean and a very good cheesesteak. Even though I constantly complain to Carole about guest eaters she insisted we get the mushroom cheese steak with bacon and sriracha sauce, it was heavenly. This cheesesteak smelled great, felt great and tasted great. This was a great example of great ingredients working together in unison to make a great cheesesteak. Can of beer was $4, plenty of seating and big bathroom, all things I love. Great overall experience. read more

Great steak. Could use a little more seasoning but totally hit the spot! Cheese Steak Sandwich

Came here Easter Sunday for lunch. Nice place. Friendly service and good food. And draft beer...

Apparently this is the after hours joint for Cheese Steaks and Adult Libations. The steaks were pretty good too! I wouldn't choose this place for dinner but if you are caught in a pinch late night stop by and you'll definitely be pleased! I've got to get them serving one with a fried egg on top! read more

Lots of folks arrived here from a Spanish tour group right after we arrived. So it's popular with tours. Philly cheese steak was just OK, not much meat and no sauce. Extra charge for onions and peppers. Ala carte fries were a decent size portion and average for fries. read more

I walked by Philly Gourmet Steaks today and said to myself, why not. I ordered the cheese burger with Pepper Jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onions. It was good. However, I felt for the price it was a bit small. Also purchased the fries as well, which I felt was a small portion as well. Both were delicious which I why I offered 4 stars. They are also open at 7am for breakfast and have a large selection of wine and beer which was surprising. I will visit here again for breakfast to try it out! read more

Right next door to Franklin Fountain, we stopped to get Philly cheesesteaks while we were waiting for our ice cream order. We were in and out of here before our ice cream was even ready and there was no line. We ordered the regular Philly cheesesteak with provolone, green peppers and onions and the Pizza cheesesteak with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, broccoli and mushrooms. Service was friendly, food was made fresh to order. Nothing truly special, but it was yummy and we ate our obligatory Philly Cheesesteak with our first visit to Philadelphia! Truly the location is what made us pick this place, but I would recommend. Portions were large and the price was right (our dinner was less than dessert next door). read more

We were very disappointed with the food that we ordered from this place my friend ordered a cheese steak and it looked like it was a mini steak it. The lady had a nasty attitude when when we asked for a certain item they gave her a nasty look. We were here before and it seemed like the steaks were bigger now they've gotten shorter. Please don't order from this place again they have a really nasty attitude and nasty customer service read more
