    Cheesesteak (w/ provolone and onions)
    Rob M.

    Chubby's is a neighborhood fast food joint with big portions, decent prices, and an authentic Philly feel. As a cheesesteak destination, however, it's unremarkable. On the meat serving spectrum, the steak tends closer towards ground beef than strips of ribeye, and it's a bit overcooked and under seasoned, at least for my taste. I'll also flag that Chubby's is a bit slow. I came here because I'd been standing in a line that stretched from a from [a redacted high profile cheesesteak spot nearby] to the sidewalk. Wanting to avoid the wait, I audibled and popped in to Chubby's instead. To my chagrin, after waiting 20 minutes for my basic cheesesteak (provolone, with onions), I saw the women behind me in line at [redacted] with their cheesesteaks in hand. Oops. Anyway, I still had a cheesesteak myself, so it's not like it was a bad afternoon. But in the future, it's worth noting that, maybe as should be expected based on the name, Chubbys emphasizes the 'food' more than the 'fast.'

    First time to Philly of course I had to stop and get a cheesesteak being from DC. We call out steak and cheese, but nonetheless, I was excited and eager we went to this place across the street from another that smelt so good but unfortunately that place was cash only chubby seem cool upon entry the cashier didn't really ask if it was first time or make it easier to order. I personally felt a little rushed. I think they can change the menu or write in some things to let new customers know all that you can add or change with your subs. Overall, my sandwich was five out of 10 not really special. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing.

    I was incredibly hesitant to post a review of Chubbys. There are some establishments so near and dear that I fear making them more known for my own selfish trepidation of long lines. Chubbys happens be one of my first memories of eating a cheesesteak as a kid. Not much has changed...for the better. ENVIRONMENT There is another cheesesteak establishment within walking distance of Chubbys which consistently has lengthy lines. Chubbys differs in this regard and has a lengthy menu. Upon entering, you'll find counter seating and booths and in my 30+ years of visiting I've never struggled to find a place to sit. You'll encounter the classic "Philly welcome" upon arrival. This consists of a healthy dose of skepticism followed by them knowing your mother's name within a few moments of conversing. FOOD I may be in the minority of individuals but I prefer a chicken cheesesteak to a beef cheesesteak. In this task, Chubbys sits near the top of my favorites. The bread is a smidge soggy but the chicken is well seasoned and leaves nothing to be desired. As it pertains to the realm of cheesesteaks Chubbys sits comfortably amidst the top 5 places I recommend to others. Happy eats!

    There cheesesteaks are really good!! Nice and fully! NOT soggy!! Seasoned . A little pricy but it's worth it . Definitely one of my favorite spots to get a cheesesteak and they have a bar inside!

    The portions are unreal!!!! I had a cheesesteak with everything and it was Rite Nice... inside the restaurant is a climate controlled sitting area and you don't wait for it in the blazing sun!!! Drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic are available at a counter or in a table for you to eat your meal!!! Super great service and loads of options for drinks and food!! Rite Nice!!!

    After stopping at Dalessandros the last time I was in the area, I decided to give Chubbys a try on my most recent trip. If the line is long across the street, I would highly recommend giving Chubbys a try. They have some inside seating, which is nice compared to Dalessandros. It has an old school diner kind of feel to it. You can pay with a card, which is another plus over Dalessandros. The workers also seemed much more friendly. Definitely a family type feel from the time you walk in. The cheesesteak itself was delicious. I ordered a whiz with and was very satisfied. The bread is very fresh and held up well all the meat and cheese. Tons of flavors. I would have liked the onions to have been cooked longer and incorporated into the meat, rather than just thrown on top. But overall, it was a great cheesesteak!

    I tried the place across the street and I wasn't impressed even a little bit. Work brought me up this way again so I decided to give Chubby's a try. I love the name of the place, I liked the atmosphere outside and inside, and most importantly I was very satisfied with the size, quality, and taste of the American Wit. The roll is packed with tender chopped steak. I tried to keep it all in the roll but the meat was bursting out, no worries because Chubby's serves their cheesesteaks with a fork because they know some of the contents of the roll are going to fall on to the plate. I had an unexpected good chuckle when I read the signs they have posted in the very clean bathroom. To top it off every employee I talked to was very nice. I stopped and let a women working behind the counter know how much better I thought they were compared to the competition that's across the street and she graciously took my compliments but didn't bash their neighbor, she's a classy winner. Thank you Chubby's for the overall great experience and for the fully "chubby" belly I drove home to Jersey with.

    In the heated debate of cross steak rivals, my visit to Chubby's was some what middle of the road. I will say the comparing Chubby's to Dellasandros as a whole isn't apples to apples. Chubby's actually offers patrons more in that they have indoor seating along with a dedicated parking lot, albeit small. Chubby's also offers a more extensive menu and serves draft beer inside. As a whole the cheesesteak was adequate for the Philly area. The Yuengling 20oz draft beer for $4.50 during game time was an absolute steal. The regular fries and curly fries hit the spot and the absolute move is to order a cup of cheese on the side. The strawberry cheesecake was about $6.50, slightly on the higher side for price but a solid dessert option. I will say I was EXTREMELY disappointed in Chubby's for not having the Eagles playoff game on TV. Spill over from full bars would make this a killer opportunity for them but seems like they dropped the ball.

    Large Cheesesteak extra cooper
    John K.

    Cheesesteak was pretty much tasteless and dry. I grabbed 2 large steaks with extra cooper. The price is ridiculous too.

    Gristle!
    Rob S.

    Once the best, what a downward slide. This was our go-to since the month they opened. Always top quality beef and well-built sandwiches. On today's visit--the first in a couple of months--we were profoundly dissatisfied and disappointed. The steaks had gristly and tasteless beef. What happened? A worker confirmed that they changed their supplier. Also, they went from cheese slices to cheese sauce. This left a messy, runny blob of a sandwich in our basket rather than the past outstanding cheesesteak we had grown used to. We walked out with a $40 bill and two half-eaten sandwiches left on the table. Sorry, Chubbys, you just lost two longtime customers.

    This review is only for the cheesesteak and fries which were delicious! 4 stars for the cheesesteak. 3 stars for the fries. I'm sure Chubby's is often overlooked because of their popular competitor Dalessandro across the street. But now that I've tried a Chubby's cheesesteak, I feel like you can skip the line across the street and get a comparable steak here. The steak is tender, nothing chewy about it, it's a decent grade of beef. The roll was fresh and soft as well. Generous portion of steak on the roll as well. My stomach is sensitive to grease and flat out bad food and there was nothing greasy about my cheesesteak or the fries. No tummy ache the next day! Speaking of fries, they are good here as well. No fake or cardboard taste to them like some pizza joints. My only issue with the "curly" fries are that they weren't exactly curly when I received them. Many were broken and didn't appear curly at all. They tasted good, just not curly. Parking lot on premises which is great because it's difficult to find parking in the area. The establishment is clean, there is dine in or take out options. There's a few booths for seating and a bar counter with stools.

    One night in September, I found out via sign on the door that my usual love (Dalessandro's) was closed for vacation. Catapulted me into Chubby's arms which is right across the street. Listen, did NOT disappoint. Despite the 10min drive home (which made the bread a bit soggy, because duh), I devoured! The grilled onions were particularly flavorful and yummy.

    My family and I had a real need for a cheese steak. So we decided to drive to Philly, lol. This location kept coming up in our searches, and even people near it said it was the best. However, we were a little disappointed. 1. The veggies were not cooked enough, which really ruined the steak, and once you order at the register, you can't change to dine in, which sucks. Overall ok but definitely continue the search. The greatest thing was truly the cannoli

    My partner had been to both Murray's Deli and Hymie's Deli in Ardmore. We wanted to have lunch…read moreafter an appointment, so I took a quick look on Yelp, and decided to go to Hymie's. It was packed - only a few tables were available at 12:30 on a Friday afternoon. We were immediately seated and looked over the menu. We decided to share a 1/2 Pastrami sandwich ( you can order 1/2 a sandwich ), 1/2 a Corned Beef sandwich, an order of Potato Latkes and we each had a small bowl of Chicken Matzo Ball soup. The soup was delicious - it was a little bowl with tiny shreds of carrots and chicken. The broth tasted very good, however, the matzo ball was a 'little' different. They were light and fluffy - but there was no texture or flavor at all....none. I would have thought the matzo balls would have absorbed some of the flavor from the soup, but it didn't. I finished the soup, but left the matzo ball. My partner likes pastrami over corned beef - she says it's a more 'peppery' flavor. While I probably prefer corned beef over pastrami because it's a leaner cut, my 'baseline' for pastrami is Katz's (NYC). I'm sure Katz's has great corned beef, but I've only had pastrami there - it's the best I've had. I thought my Corned Beef sandwich was excellent - it was lean, tender and very tasty. I squeeze out a little mound of mustard on my plate and dip. My partner thought her Pastrami sandwich was very good - it was also quite lean. I took a few bites of the pastrami, I thought my corned beef was tastier and had more texture. It almost seemed like they sliced the pastrami too thin. She liked her pastrami more than my corned beef - I suppose it's all a matter of individual taste. The Potato Latkes were delicious - especially with the applesauce! They were a little thicker than I might have preferred, possibly from either potato starch or matzo meal. However, there was a very nice potato taste and the thicker texture was fine. Of course, on the way out I saw a large selection of pasties and had to try a few! I got a few of the Rugelach and a Poppy Hamantash. The Rugelach were a disappointment - the interiors of all were very thick and doughy. I ate some of the exterior layers.....and left the rest. The Poppy Hamantash, on the other hand was one of the best I've had. It was by far the largest one I've ever had! As a result, there wasn't enough Mohn (poppy filling) for such a large pastry! The filling was very good as was the cookie (it was like 1/2 scone and 1/2 cookie)! Overall, Hymie's exceeded my expectations and I'll look forward to returning.

Ordering online is nice to build loyalty points and easy to customize orders. But the online fees - credit card & website charge, even when it's directly from their website, are high.

I know they open at 11am so I timed it with my errands so that I'd be swinging through around 1130am to grab the food. Run my errands and stop at Hen Solo on the way home only to come to a flashing "open" sign but the doors are locked and the restaurant is dark. I wait for a few minutes and finally see an employee come in the back door, and she comes out front. I told her I had a pickup order but since she literally just got there, I assume it wasn't ready and wouldn't be anytime soon. She asked if I could give her 20-30 minutes and I said no, I cannot - I timed it this way so that I could grab the food on my way back to work. I told her my name and order number, and asked her to cancel the order - which she said she would. Never did. Had to file a charge back on my credit card to get the money back. Them not opening on time has happened to me before but it was back when they first opened so I chalked it up to the fact that they were a brand new establishment. You guys have been open long enough to be able to open on time. If you're not going to, then you should turn off online ordering until someone is physically in the shop.

    "Oh My God... I get it." - Frank Reynolds…read more My whole interpretation of what Michelin start rated places prior to eating here were that they were typically bougie / pretentious / overpriced establishments. I've dined at a place back home and although it tasted pretty good it fell into the latter of these statements above. Dalessandro's , though, changed my mind. Even the most humblest of a Philly Cheesesteak could be awarded such an award. There is nothing bougie/pretentious/overpriced about this establishment, it's staff and/or it's food. I sat there a couple bites in pondering what else I should try next time on my visit. I had the Philly Cheeseteak with sweet peppers with white American on a seeded roll. I had a philly cheese steak at a separate location prior to here, and although it was great, Dalessandros had the right balance of meat to bread to dollar ratio. I was full but content. Full but not bloated.

    One of the most viral cheesesteaks at one point…read more Some people hate on this place and say the meat is "sweaty" haha yeah it's a bit moist, but I kinda like it. I love when the steak is diced up; the huge onions taste amazing with the cheese. Overall, this is a very solid cheesesteak. I enjoyed it. Now is it the best? No, I can't say it is. Not with Angelo's in town. Angelo's is by far my favorite cheesesteak. They make their own sesame rolls. The rib-eye steak is high quality. The cooper sharp cheese just marries it all together. Dalessandro's was king 10 years ago, but this is a tale as old as time, nothing lasts forever. 2016 I'd give them a 5 star, but 2026 has so much competition now it's crazy!!!!

    This place makes you remember that small town shops are such cool and unique places to try new…read morethings! We came here after a hike in the Wissahickon looking for some nourishment. My sandwich was just fine but the vibes of the place were impeccable. They had crazy sodas with different flavors, lots of hot sauces for sale and random Knick knacks! I tried pecan flavor soda and smores pudding on the same day! My partner got a sandwich that he said was "definitely for a big back and tasted incredible" Truly a cool place I want to return to!

    Sunshine sandwich shop is an example of do one thing and do it right. They are a sandwich shop…read more Not claiming to be anything more and deliver on that premise. Quality sandwiches - no fuss no frill but good solid food. I tried the Casanova a perfectly pounded crispy cutlet with fresh motz, tomato, pesto and balsamic drizzle. He chose the McCartney a breakfast sandwich with layers of pork roll egg and cheese - not just slapped on a bun. Seasoned eggs layered with meat egg and cheese. Order at the counter and if you choose to eat in one of the smiling staff will bring it to you when ready. They have a few booths for you to sit and eat as well as colorful tables outside too, but I get the idea this is more of a grab and go joint. Decorated in retro grunge decor complete with a stack of old console televisions and orange booth seats the place has a whole vibe. They also have an assortment of items for purchase like handmade soaps and beauty concoctions, stickers, hot sauces, honeys, teas and the like. There are plenty of other sandwiches we want to try so we will be back for sure several times over the summer to devour them all. Check it out.
