One Pound Cheesesteaks

Ok but nothing to get too excited about. Between the mediocre service to the prostitutes on the corner trying to solicit from us, I’d say that I won’t be returning.

I had the special. It was the best damn cheesesteak you can find on a corner for $ 13. I also tried the water ice. It was not a home run like the cheesesteak but it was not bad for $ 1. I had the special without mushrooms and stuff. Only meat, cheese, and fried onions, ketchup, and mayo. Jesus it was amazing! I wish i bought 2 of them. They have a small pull up parking area which is nice bc they are literally on the corner. They also have a seating area for those that can’t wait to tear up that special. I’m upset i live in NJ BUT i would not ever pass by this area and NOT pull over. This is a must have.

First off its a cheesesteak stand, maybe some of you are used to that maybe not… this is more of an FYI. It’s in the hood, and underneath an overhead rail line. Cheesesteak wasn’t all that bad, but honestly I’ve had better. Extremely pricey for a stand too, a family of 3 I paid almost 35 dollars… didn’t feel it was worth it. Honestly wished I gone somewhere else. Also, it didn’t help the experience to ha e at least 3 homeless people come ask for money, and when I said no sit down right next to us to ask other walkerbys for spare change…

One of my guilty pleasures. I love the price and the quantity of food you receive. Not the best cheesesteak but definitely the best value. Hours are great, especially on weekends.
I recommend calling in your order and going to pick it up. Easier than waiting the 10 minutes.

Great service
Great food
Great prices
Best cheesesteak in Philly
Way better then all the tourist cheesesteak spots in Philly. They employees treat you nice unlike Pats, where they treat you like dirt.

Hey guys! This place is awesome! I really like the giant hoagies and steak sandwiches I’d give it a full five stars, but i got a chicken cheese steak from here last night and I was really disappointed :(this was my first time getting a chicken cheese steak from this place. I did like the fact that there were chunks of chicken, but it was really fatty and full of cartilage! Ewww! Not to mention that the sandwich was dry and had like no cheese on it! I will go here again for other stuff, but i doubt I’ll get another chicken cheese steak. I will say though their regular steak sandwiches are delish! Yum

Awesome late night cheesesteak at a great value. Keep it simple and you will receive your order quicker. Not a classic, but close enough.
This place will settle your late night craving for a cheesesteak, but it just lacks a lot of… something. I don’t know, maybe the steak is lower quality than others, or maybe it’s just the constant rush on the cooks that lower the attention to detail, but something is lacking from these sandwiches. I ate my steak and was barely satisfied. To top it all off, and I know this can happen to any restaurant (even the best), my friend found an eyelash in his steak when he was inspecting the steak’s spices. It’s the last thing I wanted to see after already suspecting that they don’t care too much about their quality.

By far the best cheesesteak I’ve ever had. The meat was tender and flavorful, the cheese was perfectly melty and delicious, and even the roll was tasty. A great value for the price!
Something that is important to note is the location. If you’re not familiar with Philadelphia, this is not a good area. Maybe I’m a wuss, that is very possible, I’ve lived a sheltered existence. However, I would really recommend you drive here, preferably with a friend, park close, wait for your food near the counter, and avoid making eye contact with strangers.

It’s not awesome. It’s not terrible. It’s convenient. Big sandwich small bucks. I think they are a tad dry.

Let’s be clear here, if you’ve ever parked your car anywhere within a quarter mile radius of One Pound Cheesesteak, you know exactly why you came to the area. All reasons of which will clearly be detrimental to your body in varying degrees, depending on your purchase. Let’s concentrate on the one that will raise your blood cholesterol, the one pound cheesesteak.
It won’t land you in jail, nor would it give you the clap (I think). It’s big, cheap, and salty; which I suppose would be the better (and safer) choice of other big, cheap, salty things you’d be able to find cruising the area. And then they close daily at a time that can only be described as unsavory. Once you take note of that, it’s easily imprinted in the mind that as time slips into the AM void and the brain takes on an increasingly induced limited function, you’ll know where to go to feed the need as your other options close up shop.
My name is Daniel Tran and I’ve eaten at One Pound Cheesesteak.

Really good enough meat clean place definitely will go there again !! fast service nice size try it.

Let’s be honest: a one-​pound cheesesteak is a hilarious idea. One star, at least, for that.
The actual steak is standard Philadelphia, not amazing, and not terrible. The buffalo chicken I most recently had could have used more cheese and hot sauce, but at 1 a.m. when you’re hungry on the north end of East Kensington, where else are you going? It replaces the defunct (and delicious) Grilladelphia for me.
By the way, split the one-​pounded with two or three people.

Once upon a time we watched a TV show about cheesesteak subs in Philly. They put Pat’s and Geno’s on the pedestal. Well, a group of us went there for the day, trip to the museum, beautiful zoo (I think it is the best in the country, at least beats Baltimore Zoo and DC zoo as well).
We went to Pat’s first. Big bread roll. Huge line of people. Tiny amount of meat and basically, everything dry. Size? Enough for five bites. Price? Overpriced. Geno’s was next, the only difference that bread roll was soggy. Then one of us suggested One Pound place. Literally, a hole in the wall, nondescript neighbourhood, but the sub itself… Melt in your mouth experience. TONS of meat. You can ask them to put more meat/​less onions, they do. We buy several, now every time we go to Philly, neighbours ask us to bring them some cheesesteak from One Pound place. THEY should be on TV! They should be famous, not these Pat’s and Geno’s places… What a joke… Well, I guess One Pound Cheesesteaks has to be Philly’s little secret for a while. I hope they stay the same when they are famous.

Great cheese steaks at a really good price, I love the fact that they don’t close and I can get a 2 foot steak for about 12 dollars

The place to go when the other places are packed to the max, and I’ve got no time or not the mood to wait, cause I need to drive back to CT. If size does matter, than this is the spot for you! If it’s all about flavor… don’t do it!
Peace!

It was late, I was hungry and One Pound Cheese steaks was just around the corner from Fish Town.
I was a little sketchy about going here knowing that it wasn’t the classiest part of town, but it was the closest so we went.
I ordered the one foot pepper cheese steak with green peppers, pickles onions, and ketchup. Being an out of towner, it was a rather awkward experience ordering, the lady gave me lots of funny looks but that comes with the territory I guess. But lets get back to the cheese steak. When we got it back to the house and unwrapped it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The bread was so soft, the cheese was so cheesey the pickles added a little crunch, the onions and peppers added the perfect amount of flavor. Now this was only my 3^rd Philly cheese steak but it was the best one thus far. So if you feel like getting a little sketchy and venturing out to One Pound Cheese Steaks its worth it, and you’ll have a good story to tell.

It’s cheap, open late after evangelism you get a lot for your money, taste great! Order everything on it.

I’ve got man-​tits so the idea of a one pound cheesesteak was too much to resist.
This is located in one of the worst neighborhoods in America… there are people waking around like zombies and its not from the high of chessesteaks! If you find yourself stranded in this super dangerous area then One Pound Cheesesteaks is like an oasis in the desert.
I got the chicken cheesesteak with hot peppers. It was really good and hit the spot. I hope I never come back to this neighborhood again but if I do I’ll make another stop here.

I’ve had a better cheesesteak at diner’s. There was nothing on the bread, and there could’ve been a lot more cheese. Plus, the meat was bland. I went all the way to Philly just to get a PHILLY CHEESESTEAK and i was extremely dissappointed. Don’t go here if you want your first Philly Cheesesteak. Plus, the service wasn’t all that great. There is no where to sit, it’s just a counter you walk up to on the street and have to stand outside for 8 – 10 mins for your food.
