    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!

    Don't believe me, ask Sir Charles!! He doesn't miss many meals!!

    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

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

    Gristle!

    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

    Waitress was patient and the food came in great portions if you're hungry. We barely had to wait compared to across the street, and the food was good overall. It became quite busy as we were there

It's listed as a steakhouse because they use premium cuts of steak in their sandwiches. Menu: they are so busy on the weekends that you can only customize the sandwiches on the weekdays. I let my son order and he chose "The Classic" for us to try. Since we were having dinner in a couple of hours, we decided to share. It is pricey for the size. I'm used to having it a footlong at most other places and these are more like half the size. After placing our order on the kiosk, it was ready within minutes. The Classic consists of prime rib, Cooper sharp cheese, buttery steakhouse seasoning with sautéed onions all held intact by this sesame hoagie. OMG!!! My son and I loved it!! I'm salivating as I am writing this review. The Cooper sharp cheese just melts everything together. You can tastes the high quality cuts in their meats. It is now in my top #3. I will definitely be returning to try their other popular creations. Seating is limited. My one little complaint is that I wish they would wipe the tables and barstools down. It was sticky and dirty. Service is excellent even with the soccer match crowds.

The waffle fries were fries: tasty and delicious. My MIL's caprese salad was interesting. It was atop a bed of greens which was unexpected. It was also $15 which seemed a little extravagant for what it was. Overall, it was a decent meal and tasty.

The Original Pat's King of Steaks is located in South Philly, specifically in the Passyunk Square neighborhood. It sits at the intersection of East Passyunk, South 9th, and Wharton. The building has many different signs and lights that will let you know that you are in the correct place. Since this is in the city, parking can be somewhat tricky. There are times I have had to circle around, or get whomever I was with to drop me off and have them come back. However, sometimes I have secured street parking not too far away. This will just depend on the time of day, and really the luck of the draw, if you are able to easily locate parking. This is an outdoor stand, meaning there is no inside to enter. You will order at the counter, and food is packaged to-go. However, there are some tables surrounding the building that you can dine at. They are all under the roof overhang, so you will be somewhat protected from the elements. On this day, it was not terribly busy. I really did not have to wait in any kind of line before being able to place my order. This was around 4:00 on a Saturday in September. First, I took some time to look over the menu posted near the sidewalk. There is also a helpful guide on "how to order a steak," for those that are unfamiliar. When it was my first time here, I actually found the humorous display very helpful. I placed my order for two classic Cheesesteak Wit, made with Cheez Whiz. When ordering, you specify if you want Wit (with onion) or Wit-Out (no onion). Given that I was wanting to try the most authentic sandwich I could, I opted for the onions and the traditional Cheez Whiz. My sandwiches only took a minute or so to be ready. As stated, it was not busy, and they are able to whip up these sandwiches rather quickly. I ended up taking my sandwiches to-go, and having them for meals the next few days. They reheat well, and have good flavor. I like having the onions on it for an added texture. Pricing is not terrible. Pat's is more expensive than Geno's by $2 for the same sandwich. My total was $36 after tax for the two sandwiches, making them $18 each. You definitely are paying for the experience and the novelty that is coming to this famous corner of Philadelphia. But, this price is not out of the ballpark of other places in the area. The sandwich is a decent size, and you can definitely get two meals out of it if you are eating it by yourself. So, all that considering, it is a fair value for what you pay. It seemed like most menu items were $20 or under. FYI, they take both cash and card. The staff are quick and efficient. However, it will not be the most friendly or pleasant experience, especially if you do not know how to order. I am not saying that the experience was poor by any means, but be aware that this is not Disney World and they will not be overly kind to you at the order window. Being from Pittsburgh, I had never had a true Philadelphia Cheesesteak sandwich until a few years ago when I visited for the first time. Since that trip, I typically make it a point to stop and get a few sandwiches to take back home with me. I enjoy coming to Pat's for the atmosphere, and the true taste of Philadelphia. I recommend giving it a try at least once, just to say you have had it. Plus, the sandwiches are pretty tasty, too. I will definitely be back here on future trips to South Philly.
