So everyone, my husband heard about this place called SMP Mini Mart that sells Philly cheesesteaks, so of course we had to check it out! We ordered the Garlic Pepperoni Pizza Steak and the "Didn't Suck" cheesesteak, and let me tell you--they definitely lived up to the hype. Both sandwiches were packed with flavor, cheesy, and absolutely hit the spot. I won't lie, these sandwiches are definitely shareable...unless you're really hungry! They also offer breakfast sandwiches, homemade cutlets, and hoagies, which means we'll definitely be making another trip back to try more of their menu. You already know I'll be writing a review on those too, because I'm always happy to help my fellow foodies find some good eats! Have you tried SMP Mini Mart yet? If not, add it to your list! read more

Best place for a cheesesteak in the Lehigh Valley. All of the food here is good. Order before you get there because it is pretty popular and made fresh. Also, they just added a gluten free roll that was good and didn't fall apart when eating it. read more

Amazing in every way. I can hardly describe how great it is. First off, I was concerned it might be a bit sketchy because it is a mini-mart. Nothing could be further from the truth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very clean and had a decent amount of seating for a small place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are opening a full-size restaurant across the street, which will be much better but it was fine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As all others recommend, calling ahead is a time-saver but we got ours in less than 20 minutes from our call so not so bad anyway. So, now to the main event. We got the "Didn't Suck" and it was true to its name. It is big enough for at least two people and I would say we could have even split it three ways for "normal" people. I am not a cheesesteak aficionado by any means but this sandwich was the most delicious thing I have eaten of any kind in a very long time. Unbelievably wonderful. We got the seeded bread which was good but maybe took away from the meat mix so probably would just get a plain roll next time. The meat was flavorful, the onions were well cooked and tender and the cooper cheese was great. I cannot find a single thing to pick at. We also got the onion rings which were big and hearty. The onions were sliced fairly thick but they managed to cook all the way through without burning the batter, which was a beer/tempura kind of thing. Really, really great. The ranch sauce was a bit dilly for me but will try the boom-boom sauce next time. The other sandwiches look great too but I will struggle not getting the 'Didn't Suck' because it is so amazing. As an added bonus, they have a variety of Prairie City Ooey Gooey cakes. Like 9 types. If you haven't had them before, they are incredible. Very rich, buttery cakes. I had no idea they had that many varieties. Just an added bonus. And the price was very, very cheap given the amount of food you get. It is 45 minutes away from my house but I won't hesitate to make a special trip to go here. It is that good. read more

I have been a cook for many years and it's not bad for a quick bite ,my sandwich fell apart and had to eat most of it with a fork ,I would have gave a 4 star but just reminded me of any other place over loaded with meat, besides that was edible and didn't get sick belly feel,thanks for a decent bite !! Service was decent as well!! read more

SMP Mini Mart, I was unfamiliar with your game. Great cheesesteaks in a simple NYC bodega-like setting. Employees were nice and offered recommendations. Only complaint is that I ordered a side of cherry peppers, but they come whole so not really conducive to adding to a sandwich. Not a big deal, but I'll probably skip them next time. Their "Doesn't Suck" was great, one of the most authentic Philly cheesesteaks I've had in the LV, but it does come at a slightly steep $17. Regardless of my little complaints, I'll be back here next time I'm in town. read more

I spent years eating cheesesteaks from different places in Philly, New York and Jersey. I'm talking about pats, genos, 1 ft cheesesteak at luckies, hoagie haven and many pizza shops. This is hands down the best cheesesteak on the east coast. read more

While working in the Lehigh Valley I stopped by SMP Mini Mart to check out their claim of having the Valley's best steak. They score points for having Corropolese roles, either plain or seeded, and offering provolone, wiz, american or cooper sharp cheese. The cheesecake was solid, but could have used a bit more seasoning. Overall 7.5 out of 10. read more

Quality, tasty cheesesteaks at reasonable price. The cheese and onions are sauteed and incorporated into the sliced ribeye, not sitting on top of the sandwich. Makes for a flavorful cheesesteak. read more

Fantastic cheese steak - loaded and filled with flavor - worth the trip from anywhere - chicken cheese was amazing as well - go there now!

Several times now I've experienced the Cooper Cheesesteak and it by far brings me back to my college days near Philly. Call ahead for pickup, head home and indulge in the Monday steak special. The service is exceptional and the cooking superb. Enjoy! read more

Excellent and fresh food! Great service! Love the menu and they are always adding items. read more

When I was told that a mini mart had amazing cheese steaks, I was skeptical. After trying their cheese steaks, I tell everyone that they are amazing. Lol Everyone I tell about this place loves it as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The people are super nice, the place is clean, and the food is excellent![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only issue I have is, they used to have these cinnamon sugar chips with caramel topping that was sooooo good and they don't have them anymore! read more

**Hidden Gem Alert!** Don't sleep on this little mini market--it's got a serious secret weapon: **incredible cheesesteak and chicken sandwiches**! At first glance, it looks like your typical corner store, but trust me, the sandwiches here are on another level. The **steak sandwich** is fully loaded with high-quality meat--tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The flavor is top-notch, and they don't skimp on the fillings. And don't even get me started on the **chicken cheesesteak**--Both sandwiches were incredibly filling but too good to leave behind. This is now our **new cheesesteak spot** in the area, no question. If you're nearby, do yourself a favor and grab a sandwich. You won't be disappointed! read more

An absolutely OUTSTANDING cheesesteak here and you can order a heaping order of pickles and banana peppers for $1 each. Great seeded roll and well-incorporated Cooper Sharp. read more

The "It Didn't Suck" cheesesteak from SMP Mini Mart was an absolute ACE. $16 for this 12" sandwich some people may sneeze at, but it's loaded and executed tremendously. I enjoyed every single bite. Cherry Peppers on the side for $1, sadly forgotten. The cherry peppers would have been an over the top experience with this decadently rich cheesesteak. The roll held up throughout and due to the Fine Sandwich construction there was minimal shrapnel in the beard. Highly recommend this Sandwich on a seeded roll for the discerning pallets. #rushieeats read more

Food is AMAZING! The cheesesteaks are huge, very shareable. If you're hungry you can eat the whole thing. Service was great as well! Very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's half mini mart so not very big or much place to sit and eat it there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But we were able to get a seat and enjoy our food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely will be back! read more

We tried this because my son saw it on Tik tok. We were visiting in town and decided on this place. I'm glad we did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store itself is just a little store just regular ambiance like a mini mart.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The sandwiches were fire and looks like they are building a spot across the street just for sandwiches and other things. I could drive another 4 hrs just to have some again. The service was great as well. Super friendly.... read more

Ordered the regular cheese steak! Loaded with meat, cheese, onions, pickles, and some sauce. Best I have had in a long time, served in a Styrofoam container and not all wrapped up! Chose the un-seeded roll. Was $$ but it was a good value! read more

My husband is a cheesesteak connoisseur. Your sandwich is spectacular! He was skeptical because you're a mini-mart, but the sandwich lived up to its reputation. read more

SMP mini mart is a place I've been going for about a year now and I have tried quite a few things on the menu. I first went to try their cheesesteak a year plus ago and it was very good, but they are consistently trying to up their game here so the cheesesteak now is so much better than it even was then. They have added the seeded corropolese roll (which I love), they carry cooper sharp which is my favorite cheese for a cheesesteak, and they use a quality ribeye product. The owners Chade and Nancy are also extremely nice and helpful people. At least one of them is in the store nearly always showing their dedication and love for this place. Every time I go here I leave feeling like family. They have also been consistently upgrading the interior of the spot recently adding a full hood system to put in a large flattop grill and fryers. They have some limited seating and they offer a wide array of drinks and other snack options. I mean, you can even play your lotto while you're here haha Cheesesteaks, chopped cheese, boom boom nachos, the big Matt cheesesteak (like a Big Mac but not processed garbage), boom boom egg rolls...the list goes on and on. Eat here, you won't regret it. SMP mini mart - Didn't Suck! read more

Great cheesesteaks. Call ahead because it may be 30 minutes during weekend lunch or dinner rushes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small seating area to eat in but we usually get these for takeout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Portions and quality are in line with the price. Wife and I split a large steak between us, and neither of us is a small person. Our teenage son somehow manages to eat a large all by himself. read more

It's a regular, unassuming corner store in Whitehall. Grab a drink and place your order at the counter. Staff was great & informed me of the specials. Ordered a cheese steak with cooper sharp, onions & banana peppers. This cheese steak was so good, I had to tell my parents about it & they placed an order for dinner. This is easily my new favorite cheese steak place in the Lehigh Valley. read more

I have eaten here a few times and it was good and want to come back again. The last time I was there I ordered a chicken cheese steak and got a regular cheese steak. Everyone at my table was eating their order and SMP was very busy and A long line so I just ate the cheese steak but next time I will complain for the mixup. When you are looking forward to what you ordered it was disappointing. read more

I live in Ohio but a native Pennsylvanian so I always look for a great cheesesteak when in town to visit family. This place is awesome - The "Didn't Suck" on a seeded roll hits perfect every time. Fried onions are perfect and a lot of Cooper Sharp!Would love to see some long hots - would take it to another level. Nonetheless, I'll be back! read more

Wouldn't say it's the best in the LV but it's a Good cheesesteak. Prices are higher but you definitely get large portions so it makes it worth it. I know it's a mini mart slinging cheesesteaks but the wait times for a cheesesteak for 40 minutes to an hour, would deter me next time. read more

The food is amazing and the service is quick. The employees are very friendly and professional.

Awesome Cheesesteak and onion rings for lunch today. Definitely worth the trip and I will be coming back. read more

Apparently it's acceptable to be put on hold while I listen to the check out guy who can't keep up with orders at check out it was exactly 11 min. Unacceptable and understaffed I live in caddy and neighbors say same thing. And getting worse. So much for a good sandwich. I will not return. Food for thought. If your in any kind of time frame. This place sucks. 28 min for a breakfast sandwich plus 11 min on hold. So 39 min to get your food. Lol sad. read more

The best Cheesesteak around!! We get Cooper Sharp Cheese on ours and fried onions and they are STUFFED in the rolls!! Great French fries too!! read more

This is by far the best cheesesteak I've had in the Lehigh Valley. I like mine with Cooper Cheese, onions, sauce, and pickles. If this is your jam, then head out to Whitehall and check out SMP. Their pierogies were also some of the best fried pierogies I've had. read more

Kind of "out of the way" but well worth finding! It's a very eclectic sort of mini mart. You can buy "scratch-offs", car air fresheners, luggage AND really good sandwiches! We had their cheesesteaks (on the recommendation of family) and they were delicious! You can get them with sauce or without. We did with sauce, next time we'll do without sauce. The service is great. There are probably more people behind the counter than are needed, but they're all friendly and I'm sure they were planning for a lunchtime rush! There are 3 or 4 tables inside and all were packed! They make pizza too! Great place to people watch too! All-in-all, a really good, in the neighborhood, place for lunch or dinner. They need to get a bigger sign. Get rid of all the tobacco products and half the other crap they sell. They should change their name to Bob's Sandwich Shop (or something catchy and sophisticated like that...since Charlie's is right down the street, and everyone knows and loves what Charlie sells!) other than that, they're good-to-go! Find this place. Try their food and then make up your own mind! We like it and we'll be back! Definitely a place to try read more

If you want a phenomenal cheesesteak, this is the place to go. Hands down the best! Service is great always.

This is by far the best cheese steak my father (age 67-grew up in Philly) and I (29- did undergrad and masters in Philly) have ever had. He messaged all of his work friends about this place, as did I. You cannot find another cheesesteak in the valley with the amount of meat and flavor that these had. Ive worked over 12 years in the service and bar industry, I've never seen a sandwich of this magnitude. And the price point is even more mind blowing. You can't beat this. I highly recommend the sesame seed bun with Cooper sharp cheese. My family and friends will definitely be back very soon. read more

Everyone there is so sweet! I have a problem with always customizing everything I order and it drives my family nuts but anytime I call SMP they have no problem doing whatever I ask and they are so nice about it. But I have to say the cheesesteaks are the best cheesesteaks I have ever had in my life. Everywhere I tried when I first moved here from Maryland I thought they were disgusting until I finally tried this place and I haven't went back to any of the other places. The Cooper cheese just is amazing and I don't know why I have never had it before living on the East Coast but it's phenomenal. I bring them home to family and friends in Maryland or if they come out I bring them straight there so that they can try it and as soon as they bite into it they are like oh my God what is that?? Lol! They love it and now asked me to bring them home subs so sometimes I try to sneak back home before they can ask lol read more

Why did we wait this long to try SMP? Run do not walk... order in uber eats! We ordered the SMP, the chopped cheese, and boom boom chicken as well as jersey fries and jalapeno poppers... absolutely amazing! read more
