I've only ever ordered takeout from here, but it's been EXCELLENT every time. The kale caesar…read morecutlet is a sandwich I dream of and crave every time I'm away from Philly. The bread is fresh, Caesar dressing is incredibly creamy, and the cutlet is just perfectly crispy and juicy. The order always comes out on time. Even when the shop is bustling with the lunch rush. I'm very impressed with this small space and the volume they're able to churn out.

I came here hearing some decent things about this place. Wow. Exceeded my expectations…read more Cutlets were nice and crisp on both. The bread was a fantastic choice. Not tough but a nice, soft seeded sub roll. Seeing it arrive was a little overwhelming but I kinda thought the thing was light and was easy to finish off 1/2. The Fig and Pig - the fig jam was outstanding. Great sweetness with the saltiness from the prosciutto and then to top it off, the crunch of the cutlets. Excellent. As I was leaving, I saw a cutlet, with mutz, broccoli rabe, and roasted red peppers. I WILL be back for that. That looked amazing. Service was very friendly, prompt. We sat down and within a few minutes, our sandwiches came out. Looks like they were working on takeout / delivery orders and I thought, oh crap, am i behind all of that. But I guess they were either done or they prioritize the tables. Place was small but at 2:30 or so, it had a couple of tables open. They had tables outside but a little warm and in the sun for that. Well done, Liberty Kitchen!

Still so so so good!…read more An update from last time: They now take credit card! I tried a 'new' combination this time, with the long hot whiz. I am glad to have tried it, but I'll be going back to my cooper sharp next time!

I stopped here with my two young boys to try a cheesesteak. There was a decent line outside when we…read morearrived, but I was really impressed with how efficiently they handled the ordering process. Once you reach the counter, you enter your name and phone number, and they send you a text when your order is ready. You can then return to pick up and pay for your food. I honestly wish more places would implement a system like this--it worked really well and kept everything moving smoothly. We ordered a regular cheesesteak with fried onions, and it was absolutely delicious! There is no seating at this establishment, so everything is to go, but it was well worth the stop. We really enjoyed the cheesesteak and would definitely come back again.

My extensive Reddit research recommended Woodrow's as one of the best cheesesteaks in Philly. I…read morewanted to check out a store in the area, so stopping at Woodrow's was a no-brainer. We opted to dine in. You pick your own seat and then order via the QR code at the table. They'll bring you water and napkins if you don't want other beverages. We opted to split their signature cheesesteak with truffle wiz and a kale Cesar salad. The cheesesteak was just fine. The truffle wiz was very overpowering. The first few bites were great and then as you're working your way through the rest of the sandwich, it becomes almost too much. The meat also wasn't as good quality as some other spots we visited on the trip. Service was great though.

Overpriced. Specialty sauce. Crowded place. I can see why…read moretheir cheesesteaks are so popular--the specialty sauce and the way they prepare them really stand out. However, in my opinion, this place is overpriced (Guy Fieri visit did it ). I find their cheesesteaks to be decent, but not a "wow." It's one of those places you have on your list to try, but probably wouldn't come back to again. Overall, it's a great spot for a food adventure.

Our experience here was especially delightful with an extended conversation with the owner Scott about the origin of Shay's, and his desire for this to be a safe place for everyone of all stripes to come and enjoy some Philadelphia hospitality and amazing food. It's clear this is a passion of his and he infuses that passion into every ounce of this place!

Heard good things about this place, so I had to try it!…read more I was on a layover in Philadelphia and thought to myself, I have to get a good cheesesteak. I've heard great things from other crew members about this place, so I had to check it out. The shop itself is small and clean, and the staff was extremely friendly--honestly, friendlier than most people I've encountered in New York! I decided to go with the original cheesesteak, which comes with ribeye steak, fried onions, and Cooper Sharp cheese. When I finally found the place, I walked right in and there wasn't really a line to order. I got my order in right away, but I noticed there were about 10 people waiting for their food. After ordering, I ended up waiting about 25 minutes for one sandwich. To me, that was a little excessive and would probably keep me from coming back. There are plenty of other cheesesteak spots in Philadelphia that make a sandwich just as good, but get you your food much faster. That said, my rating is based on the cheesesteak itself and not the wait time. If I were rating the entire experience, this would probably be closer to three stars. As for the sandwich itself--it was hot, the meat was well seasoned and cooked to perfection, and it wasn't dry whatsoever. The Cooper Sharp cheese was melted throughout the sandwich, and there was just enough onion to complement the steak without overpowering it. The sandwich was a good size and had a generous amount of meat. You could really taste all of the individual elements, and they came together really well. Overall, it was a great cheesesteak. I understand that a freshly cooked sandwich takes time, but I was there around noon during the lunch rush, and I would expect a place like this to have sandwiches moving pretty quickly since everyone is there for lunch. Overall, it was a good experience. The staff was friendly, the cheesesteak was very good, and I'm glad I tried it. However, I probably wouldn't walk a mile to come back here again. Next time, I'll probably find a cheesesteak somewhere closer to the market and save myself the wait.

The only place I can compare it to is the former Wolfie's on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. It…read moreserved a large Jewish community very well until it closed back in 2002. But, I must tell you... Hershel's Corned Beef Reuben was way better than any sandwich I ever had there. The cut of meat is thicker and the portion sizes are huge. My husband thinks he heard the guy say it was three-quarters of a pound of corned beef. I believe it because it definitely felt like there was at least 6 ounces on my half of the sandwich. I'm glad we decided to split it. It was totally worth the price that we paid for it. We arrived around 4:00 pm on a Thursday. It was busy at the market, but not as busy as it was on Saturday. We were tossed between the Reuben and the Rachel. The difference is that the Rachel has cole slaw instead of sauerkraut. I don't think you can go wrong either way. It didn't take long for the order to be ready. The service was great. They split the sandwiches and wrapped them individually. We each got a pickle spear. We didn't have to go too far to find seats. They have bar seating along the back counter that's specifically for their customers. The Reuben was very tasty. I even liked the pickle. I think they have desserts, but we had no room for it. I'd love to return one day to try their pastrami, and maybe even the breakfast. I wish we would have had more time to try one of these sandwiches on Challah bread. The menu has a little something for anyone craving a Jewish style deli experience. It's worth a visit when at Reading Terminal Market.

Corned beef on rye- Potato knish…read moreCorned beef was tender and tasty- seeded rye was old and couldn't hold up to the meat without tearing. Potato knish was not even warm- ask RUDE COUNTER STAFF if they could heat it up- I was told it is warm comes right out of a warmer- I said don't care where it's coming from it's NOT HOT can you please heat it up- nothing!!!

They serve you fresh waster (Drinks to order include Hanks, Boylan's, Harney and Sons, Teas etc.) and will serve you at the table or you can walk up and order at the counter. Their menu has a great mix of deli, steak, "chicken" steak, meatball, sausage and cutlet sandwiches with interesting flavor combos. You can also get breakfast (till 11AM) or a salad. They also have sides that include - tots, fried pickle chips, onion rings, fries, fried mozzarella and Zayda's pickle spears, chips and cherry pepper shooters. They have a couple of vegan options and GF rolls for extra $$. The staff was more than happy to give recommendations and their favs. My first lunch was The Eye - $15 Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp American, fried onions came on a seeded Liscio's roll. If you enjoy the somewhat newer Cooper sharp style that's out there you'll like theirs. The Cooper sharp was gooey, mixed in well with the meat and on the heavier side. The ribeye was thin cut, delicious and the portion was pretty hefty. Second visit I went with - The Nad - $15 Chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, Mike's Hot Honey that came on an unseeded Liscio's roll. The portion size was good, chicken was fresh with good breading, the hot honey was a tad on the heavy side, but the flavors all came together pretty good on this one. Sweet, salty, light bitterness from the arugula and some heat from the hot honey. I added Thin Cut Idaho fries to make it a combo for $3 extra and I have to say they were delicious. They smelled like McD's and tasted similar. They are cash only, but have an ATM on site. You can use a card if you order online. The one bathroom they have was pretty clean and organized. I will certainly stop back for a visit if I'm in the area to try out more of their menu. Thanks guys!

I used to live nearby and came here often. I love the breakfast sandwich with stock sauce and hot…read moresauce! They also have really good potatoes and onion rings. My other favorite is getting whatever special they have going on - it almost never disappoints. This time around I got the Turkey Hoagie, it was delightful. Bummer that my fried sprouts were basically black and way too oily. I threw them out. The Mac was okay. Hoagie made up for it though! It's a cute shop best for takeout orders. The people working there have always been nice. Everything is made in house with love. A little pricey, but overall very tasty and fresh.

As a meat eating mammal, I cannot resist anything "whole pig". The whole pig banh mi features carrot, cabbage, cucumber, jalapeño, something called XO sauce, and of course that whole pig. This is far from the traditional banh mi, not so much due to the meat choice but the fact that the vegetables take a back seat. This is also a soft hoagie style bread instead of the crusty French bread that usually houses a banh mi. Still an enjoyable sandwich nonetheless. To my surprise, the fried potatoes were the highlight of this meal. Tender crispy fried potatoes are simply irresistible. Stockyard definitely has a lot going for it. Worth a try if you are in the area !

I believe we got the Ribeye Cheesesteak with onions and peppers, and it was hands down one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. Normally, I'm not a fan of seeded bread and I usually don't like peppers either, but somehow everything worked perfectly together. The creamy cooper American cheese, the soft yet crunchy bread and the thinly sliced ribeye made for such an incredible combination. And much to my surprise the peppers actually added a really nice touch and brought everything together. The portion was absolutely massive, but the flavor was so good that it was hard to stop eating it. Definitely a cheesesteak I'd happily have again!

Big sign upon entry telling you where to go after ordering... I'm not doing that…read more Order, grab a table in the little dining area to the left and wait for your number to be called. Ordered one cheese steak and waffle fries w/ cheese to share and it was MORE than enough for two people. Very good cheese steak, especially the bread, but everything was very salty... Biggest complaint is telling you go up stairs or outside after ordering... no thanks! Also, I went to grab the food and had a weird interaction as they forgot my fries and then I went back to get them and they wanted my name, but they never asked for a name on the order... Then a guy just gave me the rest of my order... Weird. Good food, but strange interactions with staff made it a little unpleasent.
