Steak ‘Em Up

I ordered a canzone it was the worse ever. When I called to complain to the owner they would not acknowledge that it was burnt and there wasn’t any ricotta. Your food is horrible and if anyone ask me about you «I tell I would not order from there they just slap food together».
If a customer has a complaint you should at least appalogize.

We tried this place randomly one day for porkroll egg and cheese sandwiches, turned out to be better than anywhere else! The service is always stellar and because of this, just got a pizza delivered from there. Driver was quick and called before he got to the door… love that! I gave him a couple extra dollars because I appreciate the thinking ahead mentality when it comes to service. This may be a new regular spot for me.

Just going through my old reviews and wanted to update. I have continued to order from Steak Em Up mostly due to convenience since my last abysmal assessment and have not had any recent bad experiences. I still say that their steaks are terrible in comparison to some other local places (ironic considering the name of the joint) but I really love a lot of other items they have — their salads, wraps and appetizers are all exceptional, usually.
They *still* could use a little work on the delivery times — its still my only major gripe. I’m two blocks away and on multiple occasions its taken them over an hour to deliver a salad. That’s not a prep problem, that’s an obvious delivery issue. Before you tell me to go pick up its not possible due to my position at my job.
Anyways, I’ll continue to support this place. Try em out (just not the steaks!).

I’ve tried this place 6 or 7 times. They are slow and rude and they phone in their food: nothing is special. You can get basically the same food at every other corner sandwich/​pizza shop with better service. The owner and/​or manager is homophobic and transphobic and he doesn’t even mind if the customers hear. There is a good reason this business’s instagram is set to private. Good luck with the changing demographic of your neighborhood, chief.

Just because its not far from my house… Food is always great and service is just as good.

So SLOW!!! Never once did I ever come and my food was ready and it’s only items from the fryer… they say half hour I give them 45 minutes still come in and have to wait another 10 minutes… SUGGESTION= CITY PIZZA easily the best!!!
By the way don’t even think about getting delivery from steak em up that will take 2 hours… not happy!

They have decent strombolis (cheesesteak is the best), wings, and all.
My only complaints with them are they do not know how to make a proper antipasta salad (regret changing my mind from a cordon bleu sandwich at the last minute actually) and a pizza was cold once.
The menu can obviously be hit and miss. Otherwise, I don’t mind giving them business.

I live in South Philly and order here often– food is always good to very good. The reason for the 2 star review is because today I ordered an Italian hoagie and it came with MAYONNAISE on it! Now I have seen people put mayo on an Italian hoagie, but it’s disgusting blasphemous and un-​natural. To slather it on there by default makes me seriously question their whole South-​Philly-​Italian-​neighborhood-​Goodfellas image. I fed the hoagie to my dog and ordered a new one from Cosmi’s. Get it together Steak em Up, you’re better than that!

First time ordering here, my order consisted of a chicken caesar salad, plain pizza and 2 cheesesteaks.
Lets start with the salad i simply requested that they hold the croutons, what i got was chicken and lettuce. No egg, no parm cheese and NO DRESSING!!! The most important thing was not there. Am i supposed to eat dry caesar salad?
Cheesesteaks were actually not terrible… Thats what i have to say about that.
As far as the pizza goes i could have gone without it.
Will not be ordering again.

TERRIBLE ! Ordered delivery at the refinary for breakfast pizza. They NEVER showed up or called! This place is Unprofessional, Uncooperative, and Unorganized. Do your self a favor and avoid! Call Uncle Oogies or Not just pizza they are actually on time and care about your order. Much better places in south philly.

4 stars, simply because they have the best wings! Legit. I’m not a wing fan, but this is the ONLY place I will actually pay money to eat wings. Whatever is in that breading, it’s pure crack to my taste buds. Amen.

The veggie sandwich was tasteless and the broccoli rabe was huge on top of the food like it wasn’t cut up to be eaten. The lady that took my order sounded like she wanted to kill her self over the phone. I kinda hopeed the food would make up for the bad attitude..

First off, I want to say that in the past their cheesesteaks have been pretty good. I’m not sure what happened today, I am confused and a little bit sad. Delivery took about an hour at one o’clock in the afternoon on a Wednesday, that’s a little long but not my main beef here. The main beef would be that my steak tasted like sand was added as a topping. I thought maybe it was just a bad bite so I took another, same thing. I took a bite of the other half and got the same thing. Not edible. I have eaten way too much cheesesteaks in my day and not once have I abandoned one after three bites. I want to solve the sandy cheesesteak mystery except I don’t want to solve the sandy cheesesteak mystery.

Steak em up has a bunch of incompetent girls working the counter sorry to say but the owners personality should reflect on the people tgat work there another thing is why do I get attitude if I’m just wondering g why they can’t do something they always do for me. bottom line when you make a new cheese steak clean the grill instead of the new one taste g like hot sauce french fries are always soggy and they need a real grill man not a boy that gets in the weeds when he has two orders

I got Bent Celek on their cheese steak with lettuce, onions and mayo! Move over pats and genos

Let me start off by saying I think they use a carrier pigeon to delivery their food!!! It took an 1:50 for my food to delivered and my office is only 9 blocks away! Their food is always good but they’re delivery pigeon is rude and nasty! If you live close by do yourself a favor and pick it up. Finally the only reason they received two stars and not one from me is because their food is good.

Very good takeout food. Every time I’ve ordered (takeout only; never had delivery), I’ve liked what I’ve had, from a cheesesteak to a stromboli to an inside-​out pizza (a panzerotti, more or less, to those South Jerseyans familiar with that), I’ve been happy with the food. It obviously isn’t anything fancy, but it’s well-​done, simple food.
Also have had good experience with the service. It’s always been busy at and behind the counter when I’ve been in, but the staff does an efficient job of getting customers taken care of quickly.

Been ordering from here on and off for awhile. Food has always been solid, the menu’s huge, and delivery has been reasonable.
Unfortunately, on my last order, the delivery guy basically tossed the food at me and asked if I knew where the restaurant was, saying I lived too far away to be ordering delivery. The strong impression I left with is that there’s no interest in my future business, which is a bummer because Steak ‘Em Up has been a go-​to.
I recommend they either change their delivery radius or instruct their delivery guys to not chew out customers who order from within it.
Food: Solid
Delivery Time: Decent
Menu: Huge
Customer Service: Basically suggested I bring my business elsewhere because of the inconvenience to the delivery driver. (Who did receive a tip.)

Place is great never have a problem with food or employees, breakfast pizzas are unbelievable, there cheese steak Stromboli are the best I have had living in south philly, they always have some kinda deal going on if u don’t know then make sure u ask. There deliveries aren’t any longer then any other pizza place in the city. Also there burgers are huge and the buns they use are great. All in all it’s s must try they are a very busy place so sometimes u wait a little longer but it’s fresh cooked to order and it’s hot that’s all that matters to me

This is one of my favorite take-​out places in Philly, but the reason I don’t give them five stars is because of the lack of consistency with the food, especially the cheesesteaks.
I’m not sure what it is. Maybe in the midst of these grill masters, they have that one guy they call on busy days who just doesn’t make a steak as well as the others. One day you’ll get heaven on a roll (juicy, well cut, dripping, heart-​attack inducing goodness), then the next day you’ll be handed the driest sandwich you’ve ever eaten in your life. And sometimes they’re over an hour late. More often than not, though, they get it right. And when they get it right, they REALLY get it right. On their best day, I favor their steaks to Jim’s and even John’s Roast Pork steaks (and obviously over Geno’s and Pat’s since I actually live here). It’s a gamble ordering from Steak ‘Em Up, but the reward usually outweighs the risk.
Hilariously bad commercials, friendly phone/​delivery staff and 3 times out of 4, cheesesteak nirvana.
