Got the cheesesteak and waffle fries. Fries were good and perfectly crunchy exterior with soft interior. The everything seasoned bread on the steak was phenomenal--so soft with a crunch exterior that was well seasoned. The steak itself felt lackluster, as it didn't taste of strong quality or freshness. Probably a one and done for me, but worth a try for the everything seasoned bread.

First time in Philadelphia, first time in PA, we were on the search for the best cheesesteaks. Gouldsburger's came highly recommended. Owner was there and very welcoming and friendly. He helped us with the menu choices and I feel like we hit a good variety with my family of 5. We tried a burger, and basically 4 different cheesesteaks. We also had to get the fried pickles, being big fans and I will say this is the only thing we got that was a BIG let down. Highly over salted, burnt, not crispy, not a great batter. Would not order those again or suggest them. They do seem to have good pickles but need a better batter, turn the heat down on the fryer so they're not all clumped and burnt. Also, a tip from some Texans that know a thing or two about frying pickles...the sauce needs to compliment the good quality pickles and should be a dill forward homemade ranch. Just my opinion! The REST of the items we tried were all delicious. Fantastic quality bread with great texture and flavor. The cheese is the Cooper sharp yellow and it's perfect, melted in, gooey, creamy excellent in the cheesesteak. The truffle aioli didn't hold back, when you say truffle you mean it and we appreciate that. It's fantastic! There was a good ratio of meat and cheese to bread as well. The buffalo chicken was lacking a bit, my son couldn't really taste the ranch and when he asked for extra he was given some and it was a basic hidden valley...a missed opportunity in our opinion as this doesn't have much flavor. Are these the best the city has to offer? A probably contender I'm sure. Better than the OG rivals situated across the street from each other we tried earlier that day...by far, hands down Gouldsburgers has taken the simple meat bread cheese and nearly perfected it. Have we tried better elsewhere? Yes...in PA but not in Philly, surprisingly! Would we go back while in Philadelphia, absolutely.

Philly Special One of my favorite Philly chesesteaks! Not Angelo's level good, but nothing can be. This is a way easier to get, delicious alternative. I love the steak and Cooper sharp,and adored the onions and hot peppers on top. And the everything bread is great!!

I work super close to this spot and finally got a chance to try it after hearing good things from my coworkers. I got a beef cheesesteak combo with straight cut fries and a cola with cane sugar. Even though this was considered a half cheesesteak, it was a big portion and was worth the price. I normally don't like seeded bread but this bread was so good! The beef was tasty and not dry. This was actually my first time trying cooper sharp on a cheesesteak and it was just a bit heavy at the time in the middle of the work day. Next time I'll get a different cheese or ask for less cheese. The fries were hot, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and seemed like they were made fresh in-house and not frozen. Even during the lunch rush, the staff knocked out these orders efficiently. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the mood for a cheesesteak.

We had such a great experience today. We are in town for the national track meet with New Balance and enjoy staying on Logan Square. When looking for food when we arrived today, this spot popped up in my Yelp search and I'm so glad. We were greeted so nicely and the food was so good. I love the attention that we got. We were a rather large party and the servers were so apologetic that the macaroni and cheese was taking so long. It was so sweet. That Philly cheesesteak that I had was FABULOUS! It was huge and I couldn't eat it all! The flavor was spot on. My husband raved about the truffle fries but I passed because I have to cut carbs somewhere LOL I hope we can stop back before leaving but we will definitely go back on another visit.

Prime cheesesteak

A great cheesesteak and fries! I love the prime beef and cooper sharp cheese. The fries were some of the best I've had in Philly.

Chicken Cheesesteak with Onions, waffle fries.

I recently started working close to this location, and ordered lunch there twice. The food and service are excellent. Employees are extremely friendly and helpful. I love that you can order online or at their kiosk on-site. Great spot for lunch

I was seated quickly and I was checked on often. It was little rushed, maybe because I was close to closing, but not a major flag at all. My to-go was boxed by the staff and I was taken care of. Atmosphere: 5/5 It's so beautiful inside. Sorry I didn't capture in my video. It's beautiful decor and such a relaxing atmosphere. It's a place I'd like to just sit and work. Value: 4/5 Dishes can be quite expensive, but the food quality, service and atmosphere truly make it worth it. Opportunities for Learning: 4/5 There are a few dishes I had to google while I was there. This pushed my food knowledge a little. For example, "Sauce gribiche." Great opportunities to learn!

We started yesterday off with a delightful brunch at Sabrina's Cafe. We were thrilled to arrive and…read morebe seated quickly, even as a party of four. Our server Rachel was lovely and gave us a rundown of their specials and the menu's top hits. Our drink selections ranged from as boring as a Diet Coke to as fun as a seasonal lemonade. We were all content with our choices, though we puttered around making suggestions from their large drink menu. I typically go for a savory breakfast, but the stuffed brioche French toast was speaking to me. I can never turn down banana! The rest of our table ordered avocado toast (x2) and fried eggs with bacon. Everyone was really happy with their choices and an added bonus was that our food came out quickly. I insisted everyone at our table try a bite of my massive stuffed brioche French toast and the consensus was that it was ridiculously good. Though this spot is tiny, it is not to be missed.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.

It really embodies the Parisian vibe and makes you feel like you are not in Philadelphia. Onto the food! The bread basket and butter are always things I look forward to. The cranberry nut bread is amazing and it's always a great way to start a meal here so I love that they bring this to you. My absolute favorite thing to order that I cannot go without is the Warm Shrimp Salad. The shrimp is cooked perfectly and paired with this amazing lemon dressing that is creamy but not too heavy. Adding the sun-dried tomatoes and the avocado is perfection. I usually make a combination bite of all of the ingredients and it is heaven to my taste buds. I highly recommend this entrée. We have gotten a lot of other things on the menu before, but some of the standouts include the French Onion Soup, the Tuna Carpaccio, the Escargot, the Tomato Tart, and honestly just a side of the fries. The fries here are delicious. The waiter recommended the Tuna Carpaccio and oh my gosh it was so good. It was salty and the tuna is so melt in your mouth and the bread went perfectly with it. The tomato tart just tasted like an elevated pizza so you can't really go wrong with it. My husband absolutely loves the Escargot and I think the sauce that it comes with is really good. Their take on a French Onion Soup is so good. The cheese layer is decadent and the soup is rich, salty and just delicious. Getting a side of the fries with the aïoli they bring you is also pure joy. We never have a bad time when we come here. Sometimes it is hard to get a weekend reservation, but there tends to be a lot of cancellations so just keep checking and you're sure to find something. The restaurant is so big yet always packed. It is really impressive because there's never a wait time for your food and you always get good service. This place is like a machine, it's so incredible.
