The best steak 18' sub around. The steak was juicy with the perfect amount of seasoning. The subs were over stuffed with meat. The large was enough for 3 people. I definitely recommend to anyone who wants a steak or chicken and cheese with everything on it. The store front is modest and the cooks and staff bring a homegrown feel to the place with laughter and jokes the whole 15 minute wait. read more

Leo's is everything I was looking for! I was flying into PHL and then driving to meet up with friends in Glen Mills for the weekend. I wanted to find the best cheesesteak possible without detouring too much from my route and without going into Center City. I mapped it out, scoured reviews, and set my heart (and my GPS) to Leo's Steak Shop. It was easy enough to navigate to from the airport and there was plenty of street parking nearby. You could definitely call and order ahead, but I didn't have a long wait since the lunch rush was likely over. They were still busy and I probably waited 15 minutes for my sandwich. I went with a large cheesesteak which was insanely large. This could easily be split between two grown men. Lucky for me, I had leftovers the next day. I also snagged a bag of chips from the giant selection and a soda for the road. There are no tables inside and it was winter so I took it to go. Even though I hadn't eaten all day, I held off until I got to my hotel about 30 minutes away where I proceeded to devour half of this overstuffed cheesy monstrosity of a sandwich in the front seat of my car (had to wait to check in). I was in shaved steak heaven for the rest of the day. Then after a night of drinking with my buddies, I woke up to the second half in the fridge and proceeded to devour round two of this steak bomb which at that point was the only thing I had eaten for the last 24 hours. Next time I fly into PHL, I know exactly where I'm going. read more

Flying into Philadelphia to visit the Jersey shore, and stop by Leo's for lunch. It was fantastic! Highly recommend

This spot was recommended and it did not disappoint. The cheesesteak was delicious and filled with a hefty amount of meat, the staff was so nice and the restaurant ambiance was a welcoming pleasure. read more

My family and I flew into town to visit a friend before leaving for Amsterdam and my little sister desperately wanted to try an authentic Philly cheesesteak. This was where my friend took us and we couldn't have been happier! The place is clearly well loved and the cheesesteak we ordered were memorable. I'm honestly not a huge cheesesteak fan but I devoured mine and would totally go back! It's recommended you order ahead by phone, definitely on game days. A regular is large enough for two and a large is massive. read more

We had time for one cheesesteak in Philadelphia and Leo's was recommended to us by a local. The sandwiches are both massive and delicious. A small is about a foot long so don't order a large unless you want to feed your entire family. The sandwiches themselves are delicious but a bit different that what an outsider expects from a cheesesteak. The meat seems more like ground meat than the thinly sliced sheets often associated with cheesesteaks, but the final product is really good. Staff is friendly and fun to watch, as are the other customers. Come early because they are extremely busy at lunch. Be aware that there is no indoor seating. There are a few outside tables. read more

First time in Philly and heard Leo's has some of the best subs... that might be an understatement! I got the turkey hoagie and it was honestly one of the subs I've ever had! The mayo to turkey ratio was perfect and they LOADED it with turkey. We also got the buffalo chicken cheesesteak with bleu cheese and it was off the charts!! The workers were nice and the food was ready fast even though we ordered there. There's no seating inside but if it's nice out there's a very cute outdoor area with picnic tables and string lights. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone! read more

Holy Moly! What have I been missing out on?! This is hands down one of the best cheesesteak in the region! They're massive and utterly delicious! Want onions, mayo, peppers? Done! Very cute spot with outdoor seatings. It was very clean inside and you can get fries, chips and soda with your cheesesteak! 12/10! Also, the workers were very kind. read more

Stopped into Leo's on the way back to PHL, to fortify myself for the flight home to BNA. It's easy to find; the building signage is very well displayed. It's a no-frills interior; a long counter, some drink coolers and chip racks; no real inside seating to speak of. I ordered a "small" (check the quotes) with cooper sharp and fried onions. They prepared it freshly, and handed it over well wrapped in butcher paper. I took my "small" sandwich, a bag of chips, and a bottled soda outside to sit on one their colorful picnic tables. I unwrapped the Sammy, and was just stunned at the size of a "small" and the amount of meat they managed to stuff into it. The small was about 12 inches, and contained, by my reckoning, about 1/2 cow. Holy moly! The meat was cooked well, and the cheese/meat/onion ratio was great. I managed to get about 1/3d of it in my belly, and then wrapped up the rest to take on the plane. There were some VERY jealous people on that flight. Sandwich, chips and drink ran about $18. Totally worth the price for a cheesesteak of this size and quality. Highly recommended for people with a big appetite (or 2-3 people interested in sharing a sandwich; note that they also offer a massive EIGHTEEN inch cheesesteak, in case you need to feed an entire extended family :=]). read more

I lived in Philly for 5 years and moved to California. Everyone I come back in town Leo's is a must stop! Love the ambiance and the energy. They when I leave I order like 3-4 to take back. No one can touch Leo's. Always best to call in as they can be busy at time. read more

I've been searching for the best Philly Cheesesteak for most of my life. I'm not from Philly but from just next door in Maryland. Leo's is a takeout spot appealing to locals-- If you decide you want to eat there, they have outdoor picnic tables (which is not great if the weather is bad). The place has a super fun vibe and inside is very clean and spotless. But who cares if the food isn't good -- fortunately, the steaks subs are awesome. The steak is juicy and well-seasoned, not overcooked and dry like some places. What's impressive is the subs are stuffed full of steak. There are ample choices are toppings. The bread tastes like the standard tasty Philly bread that good places use. Leo's rivals the top spot in my heart for Philly Cheesesteaks but I'm not sure takes the crown yet. I will have to return and eat a few more. read more

Leo's has 3 new cooks and they have made Leo's my number one steak place again!! I met people from out of town last week and they said Leo's was by far the best steak place. read more

I'm honestly disappointed. The reviews are the reason I chose this place today. The ONLY thing that was impressive was the amount of meat they provided. I had a cheese steak with cooper cheese (I could barely taste any cheese at all), mushrooms, S,P, K and fried onions. The steak had no flavor at all. The shop looked decent, I didn't notice any excessive dirt/trash and I noticed the cooks wore gloves (no hairnets though). I gave it three stars because the customer service was good (the food was a 2). I may give them another chance but I'm not sure yet. read more

Leo's is legendary for the best cheesesteaks in Delco! Don't get the 18" because the regular size has like a pound of meat and cheese on it.

Anytime I visit Philly Leo's is a must I didn't know it was possible to get better but this last time around they definitely pushed the needle with being the best hands down!!! Service was good food was better and speedy and love the renovations made to the place always a long time customer. read more

Awesome local spot and plenty to eat. My first cheesesteak in Philly was pretty tasty!

The biggest sandwich I've ever seen. At 18 inches, the large sized cheesesteak is more than enough for two people. Can call on the phone and order ahead. Ready within 15 minutes for pickup. Credit cards accepted. read more

One of the best cheesesteaks I've had throughout my life! It matched what I grew up with when visiting family in the Philly area. I'll definitely go out of my way to return to Leo's anytime I'm in Philly!! The service was great -- quick to take my order and typical time for cook time. The ambiance is what I see typical of a northern steak shop. Plenty of space for people to wait for their orders and an abundance of chips and drinks for purchase. Don't think twice, just go!! You'll be do happy you did. As far as parking goes, it is (free) street parking. read more

This place has the best cheesesteak in Philly so far. I thought they were even better than Angelo's. Nice amount of meat, it's fresh, juicy, and made with love. The bread was good and smooth and the customer service was amazing as well. Everything was cooked to order and they have great portions for the price. The fries were also good and made to order, highly recommend this place. And I crown them the king of cheesesteaks! read more

I was in Philadelphia and wanted the best Philly steak and cheese sandwich. So, I came across this spot that was highly reviewed. This is a hole in the wall restaurant that specializes in their signature steak and cheese sandwiches. They also reveal hoagies, burgers, fries and sandwiches there are also a bunch of grab and go canned/bottled drinks, chips, and pastries to choose from. It looks like a small confidence store in front of the counter. The staff there was very friendly. You are given the option to call your order ahead, which I highly recommend. It will save you a lot of time. The restaurant does not have a dining area. There is just an open space where people wait for their food. The area is not the cleanest spot. During warm weather, or if you don't mind sitting out in the cold, there is a small patio area available yo sit and eat. They do not have their own private lot to park, there is only limited street parking available. I did not have an issue finding a spot. Their steak and cheeses come in two sizes, small and large. The large is a whopping 18 inches. That was a bit too much for me so I went with the small, traditional steak and cheese, which was the regular size that I am use to. Ii also got a side of French fries. It took them about 15 to 20 minutes to prepare and it was hot and fresh. There was a ton of food. I had to take my food back to my hotel because as I mention, there was no seating inside and it was way too cold to sit on the patio. It was still warm when I got there and was very delicious. It definitely lived up to all the hype. It was very flavorful and tasty. Also, the meat was over flowing out of the bun. It was stuffed. I highly recommend. This is a nice restaurant to get your steak and cheese fix. It may be off of the beaten path a bit, but is definitely worth the trip. read more

Fantastic cheesesteaks! We were in Philly for a conference and a friend recommended we go here. These cheesesteaks were delicious. We had one with peppers & onions, one with pickles, peppers & onions, one with peppers and mushrooms, and one plain. They were huge! We wound up sharing with multiple friends back at the conference. read more

We were in town for the day, so decided to take a cheesesteak home and our cousin took us to Leo's. I ordered a large cheesesteak with extra onions and provolone cheese, and a small Italian hoagie both packed for travel. Upon arriving home(MD) I didn't have and of the peppers, pickles, and oil in the bag which was a big disappointment. I would have given 5 star if everything was included. However, the sandwiches were huge and because they packed it for travel the meat was separate and we still have half a container of meat left. Now service was ok, the cashier wasn't the friendliest but after it slowed down a bit and I was waiting for my food I engaged her in conversation and she softened a bit. The restaurant was clean although they don't have any seating inside but do offer a nice area outside when the weather is warmer. I would try again and hope to eat there. read more

I used to be a big fan of a good Philly cheesesteak sandwich until I moved to Chicago and had the Italian Beef. This place made me remember why that was a big deal. Forget the tourist trap spots downtown and come directly here Walking inside, I knew I came to the right place. They were busy with locals who clearly loved the place and everyone behind the counter was working their butts off. Yet, they took time to give a child a treat and make him smile. Their operation is flawless here with a dash of Philly love. These people know what they're doing. And now the important part; the food! This was THE Philly cheesesteak that I've been hunting for every time I visit. It was absolutely amazing. Perfect combination of flavors, seasonings, HUGE portions, messy as heck, and even though I was full left me wanting to go back immediately. This place is a true gem and now my search for the perfect cheesesteak is now officially closed. read more

We visited Pennsylvania and stopped here after a recommendation for a great Philly cheesesteak. The sandwich was delicious and packed with flavor -- definitely more meat-forward than the cheesy style we expected, but still really enjoyable. The portions were huge, so keep that in mind when ordering. Overall, a tasty stop and worth trying if you're in the area! read more

Steak seasoned, cut, and cooked well. Cheese was delicious and the pack these with steak.

Can't speak to the sandwiches on this place because this man taking orders is incredibly rude. If you're not from the area, I'd avoid. Asked for recommendations and he said he couldn't recommend anything because I was pregnant. I said I'm not pregnant. And he said well you look it. No thanks. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Husband heard about this place and I had my doubts but I was proven wrong. It was crowded on a rainy Saturday afternoon, but things moved along so it was bearable. The cheesesteak was MEGA huge. I couldn't finish it in one sitting and my husband, who never gets full, was satisfied! The bread was soft (in a good way) and the amount of meat was great! The meat was tender! Would definitely stop by again! There is no space to sit and eat. The vibe was like a family-owned-business vibe. read more

I travel from DE to Leo's just to get their cheesesteaks! I highly recommend... 10 out of 10!

During my first visit to Philadelphia, I decided to stop by Leo's because of the good reviews. I ordered the small mushroom cheese steak with a side of fries and got banana, peppers and onions on top of the sandwich. The sandwich was HUGE and had so much meat making it extremely filling for one person, and was able to make two meals out of the sandwich. The fries were crispy but nothing extraordinary. For the price and the quantity of food you get, I would absolutely recommend you stop by Leo's if you're craving a cheesesteak, while in the area! read more

Our experience here was okay. We ordered two cheesesteaks and fries to go and unfortunately the fries were cold and needed salt. The service was a bit slow as well, we had to wait about 10 minutes beyond our pick up time. Overall, my husband enjoyed his cheesesteak, but for me it was just okay. read more

Wife and I split an 18 inch cheesesteak and it was an epic failure. The meat was soggy, unseasoned with minimal cheese which soaked through the bread making it impossible to hold within a minute after getting the order. The meat tasted like ground beef, it was the worst cheesesteak I have ever eaten. To see the reviews, you'd think you're on par with Angelo's or John's Roast Pork.... and it was over $28.00 for the cheesesteak and chips, we had to trash it. Never again, terrible! read more
