High Steaks - Cheesesteak with Swiss, fried onions and mushrooms - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Ambler, Pennsylvania

Wow, super impressed by this place. Service was great. Atmosphere is eclectic cool. And the food! Curly fries were perfect. I attached my cheese steak like a wolf pup. Burnt my tongue on the piping hot cheesy steak. Best steak sandwich I've ever had. Plus the price point was great for the quality of the food and the service. read more

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. read more

This former 20th Century luncheonette has become a cool vibe heavy load cheesesteak, wing, pierogi, hot dog emporium, complete with six stool counter and side wall music venue with Wednesday open microphone night. Pretty damned impressive for an otherwise fairly dated space. I went with two favorites; hot dog (Blitzkrieg Bop Dog) and Pierogi (Let's Polka), both of which were enjoyable and very tasty. The Blitz was full of sauerkraut and spicy mustard (ketchup added at the counter). Split and grilled, its only weakness was a broken roll that wasn't quite up to the challenge of holding everything together. Still, I liked it to the last bite. The potato cheddar dough pockets were deep fried and covered in sautéed sweet onion and crisp bacon pieces. Housemade creamy onion dip really added a special effect when it interacted with everything in my mouth. Quite the oral dance party. Delicious. The list of local bands playing at High Steaks was impressive. Definitely added a great sixties feel to the joint. This place is special. Five by five all the way. read more

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! read more

The food is really nice. The fries and rings were a bit greasy. The issue was the young man making the food. Had gloves on, but had no idea why. He was rubbing his ear and brushing back his hair while making the food. I guess the gloves were to keep his hands clean? read more

Five Stars - Worth the Drive! My husband and I had dinner at High Stakes in Ambler tonight and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We used to be regulars at Chicken Time in Roslyn before it closed a few years back, so we were excited to finally try the new spot the family opened here--and we're so glad we did! We ordered a 12-inch cheesesteak on a sesame seed roll with mushrooms, plus a side of fries and mozzarella sticks. The cheesesteak was perfect--we split it and were both blown away. The Cooper Sharp cheese melted beautifully, the mushrooms were fresh, and the roll was soft with the perfect crunch from the sesame seeds. These guys aren't messing around when it comes to quality. Our mozzarella sticks came out cold in the middle at first, but our waitress Missy handled it like a total pro. She was friendly, quick, and sincerely apologetic--even though it clearly wasn't her fault. Great service makes all the difference, and she went above and beyond. A nice little bonus: the side of pickles before the meal was a fun and tasty touch! If you've been thinking about checking out High Stakes--do it. We'll definitely be back! read more

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!!! read more

On a recommendation, I went here and ordered a cheeseteak with fried onions and an order of onion rings. Chose the seeded roll. And the result, a fantastic lunch!!! While the server was very nice and helped make this a great experience, the quality of the steak and the perfect cook of it, along with the onions, and a nice helping of cooper sharp cheese, and perfectly crisp onion rings sealed the deal. I will be back and recommend you go too! read more

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. read more

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! read more

High Steaks - Austin City Limits Steak - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Ambler, Pennsylvania

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 ! read more

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. read more

Cheesesteak was very good. The service and ambiance is excellent. I would recommend this place.

Trying to eat our way through every cheesesteak joint in PA....... High Steaks gets a lot of "high" marks from enthusiasts and after our first visit here, I'd say they deserve all of the acclaim and more. Very cool ambiance in this small eatery and the staff is very friendly. Figured we'd go simple on the maiden voyage, so we ordered the following: 12 inch cheesesteak with cooper sharp and onions, wings with medium buffalo and curly fries. We enjoyed everything! The toasted Corppolese seeded roll was divine, the beef and cheese mix perfect. This is a fantastic sandwich. The wings are large in size and flavor. Think they roast and fry, the result is awesome. The homemade blue cheese takes them over the top. Last but not least, the curly fries were hot and crispy. Dip them in that blue cheese for an other-worldly experience... We will be back for more of this, you can count on it.... read more

Super nice group of folks here and the Philly's are pretty fricken awesome! Onion rings are tops too. Would certainly recommend making the drive to visit this place! read more

Different Cheesesteak #1153. If they served beer I may still be here. 4.9 rating on google maps. That always makes me a little leery. Very fun vibe. They are BYOB and have open mic nights. I got my usual cheesesteak with fried onions and mushrooms. It was pretty darn good. It was seasoned nicely with a little black pepper. Everything spent time together on the grill and played very nicely together. $15.60 including tax. Overall this is a winner. read more

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!

Top 3 cheesesteak I've consumed. I got seeded roll with cooper, and wiz. Very nice service aswell

High Steaks lived up to its billing. I loved all the options being offered: 6" or 12"? Seeded or non-seeded? etc. etc. Although I usually get a regular ol cheesesteak w fried onions, I ordered the French Quarter as the super friendly staff said it was their most popular. This garlic butter brushed bread cheesesteak with mushrooms and fried onions was so flavorful and juicy it didn't need the gravy served on the side of it and I used it on a few bites just to taste it. Three kinds of fries offered: traditional, curly or sweet potato. I got traditional w/ cheese whiz. I was asked if I wanted the cheese on top or the side - I said on top. The fries were great but the whiz was not whiz but foodservice cheese sauce. I love fries with whiz. The cheaper substitute was a bit of a letdown but good enough. I chose an RC Cola, not finding any Coke Zero in the vast and varied soda case. A bargain lunch at $18 for everything I got. I will return to High Steaks again enthusiastically. read more

I don't know what took me so long to come here, but what I can tell you is that my steak sandwich was out of this world The roll was perfectly toasted, the meat was so good, and the sauce.. oh my! It would make Nonna proud.. The best beef hot dogs with delicious chili. YUM! I had a Hank's orange cream soda to wash it down ...brought me back to the good old days. Missy, their consummate waitperson, was kind by offering to put her cell phone in service, which was connected to Bluetooth for our listening pleasure via Spotify. Any kind of music we requested.. You can't get better service than that. read more

If tweaking the Philly cheesesteak formula by adding brown gravy is wrong, I don't want to be right. The French Quarter is a knockout; I never heard of Copper sharp American cheese but now I want to drink it like a savory latte. The decorations featuring Metallica, Weezer and Nirvana are, to use an Eric Bogosian line, the icing on the gravy. read more

Yummy food! Great cheesesteak! Hot dog, grilled cheese, yummy hoagie! Good food as usual.

Delicious! And friendly staff! The flat bread apps are huge and the chicken cheesesteaks were so flavorful!

Places like these are the reason I'm proud to have grown up in this area. Came in here after picking up a brew from across the street and ordered the French Quarter cheesesteak. You can enjoy a fair amount of customization here, from whether you want seeds on your bread, to the regular cheesesteak fixins. The French Quarter comes with a gravier take on au jus. I can confidently say this is the best cheesesteak I've had in recent memory. The bread was the perfect texture and the steak was terrific. I tried a few other cheesesteaks as well and they were all so good. Enjoyed the open mic night accoutrements and stage that they set up in the interior and the concert posters and bulletin board that adorn the walls. Rarely have I been so excited by a new opening in Ambler. Can't wait to go back again! read more

I was visiting family in Ambler and Norristown, and searched for cheesesteaks nearby. I ordered a 12" steak with grilled onions, provolone, lettuce and tomato, and asked if they'd wrap it in foil, as I was taking it home to WV. My boyfriend added mayo at home. I added ketchup to a few bites for me. It was THE BEST cheesesteak! Great flavor, plentiful meat and add-ins, and it traveled really well. The staff were very friendly. Oh, and I was so happy to see sour dill pickles in a barrel, just like I'd get at the deli when I was growing up in Willingboro, NJ. Thanks for a great steak! read more

High Steaks - The cheesesteak traveled to WV just great. Really great flavor. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Ambler, Pennsylvania

First of all, I loved the decor with all of the music CDs leading into the restaurant and counters with the cool posters and old ads inside, plus a little Arcade 1up machine to boot! The cheesesteak I got with mushrooms and sharp American cheese was one of my favorite things I have ever eaten. I'm normally a cheese whiz guy but the cheese on this one was super perfect. I really appreciated somebody coming to take my order while I was looking at the big menu display too, the service was sublime. If you're ever in Ambler it is worth your time and money to come here for a classic Philly cheesesteak! read more

I ordered a 12" cheesesteak wth fried onions and wiz, and it was excellent. The roll was piled high with steak to the point of overflowing, and the cheese to meat ratio was just right. The roll was fresh, and overall, this steak was certainly up there with the best I've had. There's always room for improvement though, but keep in mind that when I say "improvement", it's purely subjective, as everyone's likes and dislikes are different. So, what could be better? The roll. As I said, it was fresh, and overall just fine, but a slightly crisper bottom would make it perfect, especially since there's so much steak and goodness on it. For reference, to those from the Bucks/Mont area, years ago (I don't know how they are now), the Steak & Hoagie factory used rolls that appeared to have been fresh baked, and the bottom of the roll had a sort of lattice of lines on it. It would stand up to any sandwich, and provide just the slightest bit of crispness to the experience. At any rate, that was then, this is now, and High Steaks does indeed make a heck of a good steak. I'd recommend them without hesitation. read more

High Steaks is the newest tenant in 242 building that has been a turn style for restaurants since is was the Ambler Grill. The interior layout remains the same with new decor but there is now a stage for live music. You can pick your seat and place your order at the kitchen. They have traditional steaks along with several of there specialities like the Studio 54 and Santana. I went with a traditional cheesesteak hoagie on a 12" seeded roll. They have both regular and seeded rolls which is always a good sign. The lettuce was shredded and the onions and tomatoes were diced which is unique. All of the produce was fresh and had vibrant color. While the roll was good I would probably ask to have it scooped next time because it was a bit much. Overall the sandwich was solid and the employees were very friendly. While it wont make my top 10 its a good addition to Ambler and I'll be back. read more
