Philly Steak & Gyro

I was clearly overly optimistic when I thought to myself, there’s no way for them to mess up a philly (funny how my phone autocorrected to phony my first attempt) cheese steak. But sure enough, they were able to accomplish this mission impossible! I come from LA with the lowest of the lowest standards on philly cheese steaks and the fact that they were able to make something below my standards is flat out impressive. I have never tasted such a bad tasting philly steak in my life. So bad that this place gave me the reason to write my first review on Unilocal,again, another impressive feat by this food joint.
Employees are jaded and don’t want to work there but that’s expected. They do not serve water cups which was something I was not expecting.
Looking back 15 mins, I really wished I spend that extra 6 dollars for a grilled salmon meal at legal seafoods.
TL;DL? DO NOT EAT HERE.

Cheesesteak, fries, and a bottle of water… my last meal in America.
When in Philly, you get cheesesteaks. No exception. Even if it’s 3:30 in the afternoon, you get one.
This wasn’t the best one I’ve ever had, but it works! Cheese was melted to a gooey substance which melted into the meat and soaked sufficiently into the bun. Bread was a good quality «meat and cheese» holder, and the sandwich was cut in two pieces, making it perfect to share with someone special. Or, in my case, I stuffed both halves down my pie hole in about 10 minutes.
Fries are the large crinkle cut variety, cooked hot and lightly salted.
Served in a styrofoam container for easy transport if you happen to be going somewhere in a hurry. I was lucky enough to savor the food and beverage and write a quickie review.
I’ll be back through here in a week. Maybe this will be my «first meal in America» as well!

Went here during my quick stop over in Philly since I needed to grab something to eat. It was pretty late so they were no longer serving cheesesteaks, much to my dismay.
For my order I had a turkey hoagie. It came with sweet peppers, spicy peppers, tzatziki sauce, lettuce, and pickles.
While the person who made the sandwich was very friendly, the finished product lacked flavor and was very difficult to eat.
It served its purpose in my desperate situation, but I wouldn’t recommend this place based on the quality of food.

For airport vegetarian food, their hot veggie sandwich is okay. It has a good number of veggies, peppers and mushrooms that are grilled up. And if you ask for it without cheese, it probably vegan. I’m stopping short of saying 100% it’s vegan since I’m not sure why the Italian hoagie roll is made. And you can also get it on pita.
If there was a power outlet in their seating area, I might have given them a higher rating.

I made the fifteen-​minute journey from Terminal E to Terminal C in hopes of getting pasta at Unilocal’s highest-​rated airport restaurant, Aldo Something-​or-​Other Trattoria, but when I arrived, I found that they only sold pizza and cold sandwiches, no pasta. So I went next door to Philly Steak & Gyro. I ordered a pizza steak with fried onions, and, affected by the extremely confused and nervous-​seeming cashiers, I became a little nervous myself — that my order would be wrong or bad when I received it. But I had no reason to fear! The steak was delicious, chopped small (the way a cheesesteak should be), with provolone cheese, pizza sauce, and finely chopped and well-​sautéed onions, on a very soft roll! I’m going to take the second half of my steak on the plane so I can make the other passengers jealous. Steaks on a plane!

I stopped by for an Italian Hoagie and met Tom. As promised I wrote this review. He took the time to make it and even wrapped both halves in foil just in case I could not finish it on the flight home. The other half made it to my daughter in Texas who is Philly homesick. Much appreciated!!!

I could barely understand the woman taking my order and I nearly walked away because of it. Reasonably priced as far as airport restaurants go. The food was average, but it was at least hot. They were out of napkins as well.

Just be sure to set your expectations to «mediocre». It is in an airport after all.
Very dissapointing. I could overlook the bad service if the food wasn’t such a let down.

Don’t base your opinion if the Philly cheese steak by trying the airport phony cheese steak. They put no effort seasoning or outside into them. My mistake for even eating my families money on then and this place won’t happen again I promise. you can take that to the bank. Go to south street I believe is where Steve cheese streaks are.

Completely disorganized and the counter staff barely understood or spoke English. I was charged for 2 cheesesteaks and the refund I got back didn’t include tax. They food was not prepared in order and only after I complained did they make mine. Wish I read the other reviews before I ordered here

Worst place to eat a gyro!!! I saw gyro and quickly decided to grab a bit here but I should’ve Unilocaled first to see their ratings cause it was awful. The meat was not fresh, the thin pre-​sliced frozen kind. They didn’t put much meat. The bread was soft, the yogurt was good but could’ve had flavor but didn’t. Overall it was tasteless! And they had 3 guys working in the back to make one sandwich. Do NOT eat here!

NOBODY GO HERE! This place sucks! Lady at cashier is slow, they screwed up our order, they used canned mushrooms (which I’ve been having a stomach virus from for two days), the sandwich is watery. Go eat somewhere else! Look at the reviews!

I had a 3 hour layover in Philly and was so hungry after a long flight from LAX
I really wanted to try out the famous Genos but wasn’t sure how far away it was and didn’t want to get lost on the subway so I
took a chance and tried out this place in the airport. I wasn’t impressed

Quick layover in Philly so thought I’d have a Philly cheesesteak. Bought the special that came with fries and a drink and my cheesesteak came with BARELY ANY MEAT ON IT. When I took it back and asked if that was all the meat that came with it, the lady looked at me like I was crazy and said «that’s the special.» Usually cheesesteaks are over flowing, and for what I spent ($ 11) I expected to get at least both sides of the roll covered. Terrible customer service, and it wasn’t even that busy

Please check my track record, i rarely write 1-​star reviews, but this place warrants it! This was some of the worst food I have consumed, ever. (Note, it was still decent enough for me to eat some of it, but I could not eat it even half of it!!!) This includes my college cafeteria and that mystery meat. Wow.
While I think the chicken pizza steak looked good, it taste terrible. The chicken tasted as if it were bulked up with water as it seemed like it held a bunch of water. This was not watery in a juicy way, but more like it was frozen when it was cooked and there was too much ice on it. So when u bit it, there was a flavorless watery-​ness to it. Onions I added on were not the best, but adequate. I added on lettuce and tomato for an up-​charge, but only got 3 small chunks of tomatoes. The bread was also a little stale. I guess I can’t complain about the (imitation) cheese sauce. (Traditional Cheese steaks are made with cheese whiz, I know)
This was a failure on my part. I forgot to check the Unilocal app for recommendations, and stopped in here out of desperation. Ultimately, I desperately wished I had waited to find another place to eat.

Not bad but not stellar service.
I was desperate for some greek cuisine and there are limited places for that in the area. You could walk up and place order at window or go inside. Two guys placed orders before me. Not complicated either but they waited what felt like an eternity. My order came faster but still took a while. Gyro was worth the wait. I had to curb my greek food craving. I would go back if I returned to South Philly. That area is fantastic.

Pretty good for airport food. Had the gyro and I wasn’t disappointed. Maybe $ 2 too high for the quality but you’ll find that at pretty much all airport restaurants.
Great gyro before your flight takes off at the Philadelphia Airport.

The Philly cheesesteak sandwich was a must given that my layover was in Philly. It’s airport food so I have to allow for that but it was pretty good. The meat and cheese were pretty good, though it had too much bun for the amount of meat and cheese.

I should have checked Unilocal first. :(
My first «Philly» cheesesteak should not have come from the airport. I was hungry and wanted Pinkberry but it wasn’t opened yet so I opted for this place.
I ordered the cheesesteak special. $ 9.95 and it came with a soda and fries. The fries were gross and the sandwich was just OK. It was greasy but surprisingly bland. Boo.

Ok, I’m flying from the East Coast and have a connection in Philly. Really Rob? Philadelphia? What in the world are you stopping off there for? Shoot, I don’t know, that’s where the cheapest flight was headed.
So it’s lunch time when we land and I didn’t have breakfast. Okay, I DID fill a Dunkin Donuts fix but that doesn’t count because I’m hungry. I’m walking to the connection gate and I think, in Philly, only a cheesesteak will do. Oh look! Philly Steak & Gyro. Okay, that sounds better than Wendy’s right now. But Wendy’s would hit the spot. Nah, you HAVE to get the cheese steak.
Walk up to the counter. Tell the girl what I want. Menu board special is confusing. Explain it to girl. She seems annoyed. Finally understands what I’m asking. I don’t get the special. Just give me a straight up cheese steak please. Takes money, gives me receipt, wait is short, order is called, I get it.
Sit down in the food court. Still eyeing that Wendy’s over there. Take a bite. Okay, this isn’t bad. Good sandwich. Nice.
I try to stay away from food that might be a stomach issue when you have to fly. But didn’t have a problem with this meal. Not the best cheesesteak I’ve had, but good enough.
