8/15/25 - Beef Steak
Brie F.

Everyone in Philly swears by their cheesesteaks and with so many spots claiming to serve the best, expectations were high walking into High Steaks on Butler Ave in Fort Washington. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the reputation. We ordered Philly cheesesteaks, and while I was ready to taste something iconic, what I got was a black pepper overload. The seasoning completely overpowered the meat, which was disappointing. Even worse, the bread-to-meat ratio was way off. My roll was soggy, and no amount of mayonnaise or ketchup could save it. We also ordered onion rings and chicken tenders for our toddler. The onion rings were fried to the point of being rock hard. Not crispy, just tough. The chicken tenders were dry and flavorless. Our toddler ate some and said they were "good," but even she didn't want the leftovers the next day and neither did we. Hubby said to be fair, the staff was sweet and very accommodating, which we appreciated. However great service can't cover up subpar food. Sadly, High Steaks missed the mark for us, and in a city known for doing cheesesteaks right, that's a big letdown.

Onion Rings

I see why the reviews are so good for the cheesesteaks, and I completely agree! Visiting the area and needed a good cheesesteak and headed this way to satisfy the craving. Food: Cheesesteak- customizable and it was delicious! American cheese with fried onions and seedless roll with lettuce tomato mayo. Got hot peppers and pickles on the side. Curly fries and onion rings were also delicious! Service: Extremely sweet waitress who was awesome and checked in on us often. Made sure we always had what we needed. Food also did not take long at all. Ambiance: Cool music vibe with good music playing while we visited. 3 booths and a large round table along with some bar seating makes up for all the seating. Not a large place but it works. Band area for live music. Wish I lived closer to eat here more often and try their other food items!

Small size which is quite large

Came in for a cheesesteak and forgot this place also offers pierogies, changed it up and went for their most eccentric version of a pierogi dish which consists of five lightly fried pierogies with white cheddar cheese garnished on top accompanied with charred hot dog coins. The dish is called Electric Mayhem and the pierogies themselves were delicious. Charred hotdog "coins" I wasn't a huge fan of but it's nice that the dish came with a protein enhancer in the form of chopped up hotdog. I also noticed they have a map of the USA and ask people who travel from far away to pin their location on the board. It's pretty amazing how far some of the people have come from, I believe they may at this time had someone from every state of the USA that has tried food from this location. This spot is great in a pinch for wings, cheesesteaks, fries, and now add pierogies to the list. As always people SYOY!!!

I really enjoyed their cheesesteak (which is very customizable)! The one pictured is the beef steak with cooper sharp cheese, fried onions, and mushrooms on a 12" seedless. Loved everything about it: great portion size, quality ingredients, served fairly quick & very hot. My order was to-go and the server was super helpful with explaining all the options. I'd definitely come back for more & try other variations! One of my favorites just outside of Philly, for sure.

Austin City Limits Steak

AMAZING! First time here, on a business trip and wanted to try a cheese steak. The food was amazing! Fresh, large portions, maybe even too much! I got the Austin City Limits with cherry peppers and pickles on the side. Small order of curly fries (humongous) and left with no space in my tummy I loved this place, the ambiance felt genuine and cozy. The service was on point too. Missy was so caring and always checked in on us. Def give this one a try!

6 hours later the other half was even better if possible

We set off to meet my Brother and his gf in Philadelphia, and top of our agenda was a good cheesesteak. Even though we were born and raised in Philadelphia, I researched the current best spots at this point. We decided to try High Steaks and wow, were we glad we did ! We were immediately greeted by Missy, our waitress and frankly new friend by the time we left. She was great - not just as a server, but as a fun and kind human being. We all ordered 12" Cheesesteak hoagies, so a cheesesteak ( made with Cooper Sharp American, the best of the best) with lettuce, tomato, raw onion and mayo on their seeded roll. You have a choice and can get no seeds if that's your wish. We also ordered a large order of onion rings with the amazing dipping sauce just because.... The cheesesteaks were amazing- lots of meat, cheese melted through, piled on the most delish roll ( a very important factor) with just the right amount of LTO and mayo. Absolutely amazing- hot, fresh, tasty. I cannot think of one thing I would have changed. The onion rings were just as good, homemade, big, perfectly cooked, amazing. Beware the large order is LARGE even for 4 people. Several of us took half of our steaks home, they were too large to eat in one sitting. I just finished mine, 6 hours later, and it tasted even better if that's possible. Everything sort of mushed together, soooo good. This spot has a very cool vibe, it's a byo but they have Hanks old school soda, the Vanilla Cream was amazing, and they have an open mike at night, so there are lots of instruments around and a tiny stage. There was a very cool vibe to the place, and even the bathroom was fun, with graffiti style lyrics lining the walls. . What a great place. We could not have been happier with our food, service and overall experience- coming from someone who lived in and visited Philadelphia for 40+ years this is a legit spot. Thank you Missy - you really made our day !

High Steaks is pretty legit! We've been here a few times. The rolls they use are really good! I like getting the garlic bread roll with my steak. Gives it a great flavor. Meat is very flavorful and not bland. Prices are good. This is one of our favor places for cheesesteaks. There is enough meat but not so much you can't get your mouth around it (that's what she said)! My husband and daughter always like this place too.

Fantastic cheese steak and an EXCELLENT turkey and cheese hoagie, with tons of turkey and chopped up onions, which were exceptional! Most places dump rings of onion on a hoagie. The chopped up onion made a huge difference! The staff were pleasant and accommodating. This tiny place was set up with a stage and guitars; cute and welcoming! Go! What are you waiting for?!

Super friendly employees. Great diner style atmosphere. Music included this Friday night. Highly recommend the Swedes roll for the cheesesteak. Toppings and condiments are fresh and there is. Huge barrel of pickles at the door!

Ask the Community - High Steaks

Are their italian hoagies good?

For me, I did not like. They give very THICK slices of cheese so it wasn't enjoyable for me.

Can you eat inside?

Yes there is a "diner countertop" with stools, and also 3-4 booths or tables.
