Steve’s Prince of Steaks

The cheesesteaks here are fine, just fine. Nothing to write home about.
That being said, every once in a blue moon I get the itch to return to Steve’s Prince of Steaks and chow down on a sandwich with one of their chocolate sodas. It’s a bit of an acquired taste, but if you’re into trying new sodas it’s worth a shot.
Their meat is not finely minced as to my liking. However, unlike other places who have tough, hard to chew meat, the meat here is tender and easy to swallow. There isn’t a ton of gristle in their meat like at other places I’ve been to, which I thank them for. I also like that the cheese is always properly melted on the sandwich. The rolls are also fine, not really memorable but not bad either. If I have one real gripe it’s that the kid serving sodas and fries was using his gloved hands to take money, and then without changing gloves started preparing food; kind of gross. Otherwise the service here is good and not nearly as rude as some other steak joints.
Keep in mind this is probably the best cheesesteak in the Northeast. In my mind that title used to belong to the Steak and Hoagie Factory on Philmont, but since that location closed this place reigns supreme. While you might not be wowed with the sandwiches here, you won’t be disappointed, and you’ll definitely be full.

I’m not sure what to say other than classic Philadelphia eats. Everything was amazing, including the customer service!
I hadn’t been here in years and stopped on my way to a MMA fight not far from Steve’s. I brought friends who had never experienced any Philadelphia cheesesteaks, which was obviously a tragedy. I quickly fixed that.
We all ordered, I got the classic wiz wit. The rolls were phenomenal – honestly a cheesesteak is worthless if the bread isn’t fantastic & Steve’s delivers.
Everyone behind the counter was ridiculously friendly as well. I don’t have any complaints about the service or food at all. The bathroom was super seedy, but meh it was a bathroom.
Can’t wait to go back!

By far the best cheesesteak in Philly. Don’t fall for the tourists traps. Go to Steve’s steaks, they are worth it. Unfortunately I couldn’t order fries as they shut their fryer down 45 minutes before they close? Seems strange but okay. I will be back for the steaks, never let down about them.

In the Northeast, Steve’s has a reputation for reigning supreme for cheese-​steaks, and passing by this ghetto little hut by the side of the road I knew one day I would have to give it a try. And ghetto little hut it is, with a run down roof by an oft empty parking lot. No complaints there, I expect my cheese steaks to come from the divey-​est of places. Ordered a Wiz Wit, watched them work their magic behind the glass, and grabbed some condiments in preparation.
Pros
+ Condiment Bar so you can pack your Steak with whatever you feel like
+ All the components actually tasted pretty good
+ Did not skimp on the cheese!
+ Little to no wait, little to no attitude
Cons
–For the price ($ 9.50), the amount of meat was disappointing and not a great value
–Also a bit skimpy on the onions
Conclusions: Steves actually produced a fine cheese steak! And having had the other ‘famous’ competitors (Pat’s, Geno’s, Jim’s), I’d say it beat them out in terms of flavor for sure. Fresh Sliced Rib Eye is key. The Kicker? Skimpy on the meat and the onions, and thus not really enough to warrant the price. When shelling out $ 10 for a steak, I expected twice as much meat, and good as it was can’t really justify a higher rating for this price (or overprice).
P. S. Funny story, apparently this lot used to have an abortion clinic in it. No real relevance, just trying to paint a word picture of the location
