Food and service was terrific was extremely clean inside milkshakes rate over the top

Groovy Day, Yelpers! OH BROTHER, PHILLY!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! During a recent day trip to Philadelphia, I had the pleasure of stopping by Oh Brother Philly, and let me tell you, this place did NOT disappoint! I ordered the chicken Philly cheesesteak, truffle fries, and a cookies and cream milkshake, and EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious! First, let's talk about that cheesesteak! The bread was buttery, pillowy soft, and practically melted in my mouth. The chicken was beautifully seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. Every bite was a little piece of happiness! And the truffle fries? YES, PLEASE! The perfect accompaniment to an already amazing sandwich. But can we PLEASE talk about that cookies and cream milkshake?! WHAT?! It tasted like REAL ice cream! Rich, creamy, indulgent, and worth every single sip. I was in milkshake heaven! Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Great food is one thing, but when you pair it with genuinely wonderful customer service, you've got yourself a winning combination. Now, normally, I'm the Yelp reviewer who takes pictures of EVERYTHING before taking that first bite. Well, not this time! I was so busy enjoying my food that taking pictures completely slipped my mind! And honestly, that should tell you everything you need to know! Would I recommend Oh Brother Philly? ABSOLUTELY! I'm already counting down the days until my next trip to Philadelphia because this is one place I fully intend to revisit. Oh Brother Philly, you've got yourself a fan all the way from Brooklyn! Until next time, happy eating, Yelpers! read more

09/15/26 When in Philly, of course we wanted to try an authentic Philly cheesesteak. We opted for the traditional cheese wiz and added mushrooms, peppers, and onions. My husband and I both thought it was delicious. Although I only saw three locations on the map and I don't believe this was a chain restaurant, the inside appeared very chain-like. The food was good, so don't let the atmosphere throw you off and think they are not getting an authentic Philly experience. read more

"Worst cheesesteak of my life." - my boyfriend. Stale bread and just gross... My spicy chicken sandwich was cold and inedible. Not sure how this place gets good reviews. But this was such a waste of what we hoped would be a great Philly Cheesesteak experience. read more

The staff were very nice and the place was super clean. My husband really enjoys fountain drinks. They sell Pepsi products. It's was one of main reasons we decided to eat here considering we pass four other cheesesteak places. Husband and I shred a cheesesteak, it's was ok. We shared a lime flavored fries. I like it but husband didn't care for it. I had strawberry milkshake that was ok. Then we shared a fries Oreo. I really like that. All in all the food was ok. read more

Stopped here for lunch with my husband on a recent trip to Philly. He picked the spot based on reviews and area. He knows way more about Philly (and about cheesesteaks!) than I do. We decided to split a sandwich since they tend to be pretty big, and we weren't super hungry. The cheesesteak was good! I love that white American cheese is the standard. You can add peppers and/or mushrooms, but we chose just peppers. I do think as an add-on they could have added more than what they did. I was really amazed by the bread! It can be hard finding a cheesesteak place that actually has substantial enough bread to hold up to the filling, but this bread had no issues! Nice and crusty on the outside, but soft on the inside, and didn't even fall apart a little bit! The meat is what really made it for me. I tend to be super picky with meat; any odd texture totally ruins it for me. The full half sandwich I ate didn't have a single weird textured bite! I don't think that's ever happened before for me! The space isn't super tiny, but there was definitely limited seating. We ordered our food to go, but fortunately there was a solo diner leaving and another table not using all their chairs, so we decided to eat in. It was fun sitting right across from the mural of a bunch of famous Philly people, and trying to name them all! There was only one we weren't sure of, and even after looking him up after have our doubts. One other thing I appreciated was the little bag our to go sandwich came in - it's a great little reusable tote bag that we brought home with us, and I fully intend on using as a lunch bag for work frequently! I'm glad we had this experience while we were in Philly. read more

Friendly from the moment we walked in. Great food, sides & shakes The service was great. ! We will be back!

Very good food, but pricy and no combos, everything is sold separate so our bill for 4 people was $80!!! My 10 yr old wanted Mac & cheese so her meal was $30. We about died. Yes it was great, wonderful food but expensive!!!!! read more

No idea how this place is rated so well. Dry ass jizz burger that reminds me of middle school cafeteria. Terrible stumpy greasy fries. Blows my mind! I feel like my rating is being generous. Will never spend a single dollar here again. read more

Not good at all. Long wait in line to order as the person working the counter stopped to make and serve milkshakes. The Philly cheese steak was slow in coming out and tasteless. I bought canned soda and asked for a cup, they charged me $5 for an empty plastic cup. My fault for eating in a tourist area, this is just a tourist trap. read more

The wait was so damn long; it was over 30 minutes for 2 cheesesteaks, which would have been fine if they were good. The steak and cheese (provolone) was good but dry. The steak and cheese with mushroom was rubbery meat (stuck together and impossible to eat), incredibly dry, and I threw out 2/3 of it. The only redeeming value was the nice girl at the counter and the bread. Otherwise, I recommend going someplace else. The quality is just not there - too much hype and too little taste. A huge disappointment after a 4-hour drive. I grew up in Phila, and this is NOT AUTHENTIC. read more

Out of the three cheesesteaks that are on market street this is the best one. The French onion cheesesteak and cheese whiz are good. The service was pretty bad for after a lunch rush on a Friday afternoon. They have some cool murals and good decorations inside. Music was blasting as well so it was hard to order at the front. read more

They let me use the bathroom at 9:20pm on a Tuesday. I had been walking the city with a friend for hours and needed to go to the bathroom before catching the train back home. The young gentleman behind the counter was kind enough to say yes I could use the bathroom. I hadn't bought anything. But I will definitely try their food next trip down town. They have a nice sitting dining area and the bathroom was clean. read more

In from California. Was told about this place as being the best! They did not lie! Cheesesteak was huge! Service was top notch!! Crowded, but found a table to enjoy our lunch. read more

Pats vs Genos is the stereotypical Philly cheesesteak debate, but Oh Brother should be a part of the conversation. With a location on Market Street in Old City and on Broad Street near Temple, Oh Brother is really making its mark on the Philly cheesesteak scene. Chopped ribeye on seeded bread with your choice of cheese and inclusion of onions. Beyond cheesesteaks, they have a variety of burgers, fries, shakes and bar style appetizers.Their truffle fries are my absolute fave. For the Market Street location, it's fairly large with ample seating. You can order at the counter and the waitstaff will run your food out once's it's ready. They were super helpful in deciding what would be the right fit for our group and honest when it comes to sizing and value. read more

If you're in Old City Philadelphia, Oh Brother Philly is definitely worth a visit! The cheesesteaks are delicious, the burgers are juicy, and the fries hit the spot. Great place to grab a satisfying meal while exploring the city. The menu has plenty of tasty options, and it's a perfect stop for anyone craving classic Philly food. Highly recommend! read more

We ordered 5 sandwiches. Forty-five minutes later we were still waiting for our order. We witnessed two mixed up and one incomplete order. Every customer that came in after us during that 45 minute period recorded their meals before us. It's a complete mystery what the hold up was. The sandwiches were fine but dry. And for the money and based upon the other reviews, I would have expected them to be extraordinary. The wait staff was kind, but cannot recommend this establishment based upon the wait time, food quality and value. Also it was 85 degrees outside and it was hotter inside the restaurant than it was outside. read more

I stopped by Oh Brother Philly while in town for the Norfolk State vs. Delaware State football game at Lincoln Financial Field and decided to grab a cheesesteak and fries. Honestly, I really enjoyed it. The cheesesteak was nice and cheesy, and the fries were just as solid. Was it the best cheesesteak I've ever had? Maybe not, but it was still quite delicious and definitely hit the spot. After my meal, I recommended it to my friends who came by later, and they enjoyed it too. Always a good sign when your food suggestion lands well. The place has a nice, casual vibe and I was able to get my food pretty quickly. I can't quite put my finger on why it's not a perfect 5 for me. If I knew how to give it a 4.5-stars, I would certainly do so. All in all I'd happily recommend this place to anyone visiting Philly or craving a solid cheesesteak in the area. read more

Let me give you the drop! :-) This place has a system (that I don't necessarily like but works) of standing in line to order food and then wait for a table. The cashier was patient and ensured that my order was correct by asking and repeating back the entire order. That...I loved & appreciated! What I didn't like is the answer she gave me when I asked if it was okay that my family grabbed an open table while I ordered food. She said, "No, you have to order food first. Once your order is placed, then you can look for an empty table". Once a table was secured and cleaned, we waited for our order. Man, it didn't disappoint. We ordered 2 French onion burgers, oh lamb Mediterranean burger, garlic and parmesan fries, and a Philly cheesesteak with grilled onions and bell peppers topped with provolone cheese. Everything was carefully prepared and delicious. I mean the burgers were enjoyed and loved by two tweens. They loved the dip that came on the side and dipped fries and their burgers in it. The Mediterranean burger was spicy and jam packed with seasoning. As for the Philly cheesesteak, Listen!!!!! Get it. The meat was tender, hero was soft (I preferred more of a toast bun) but it was fresh, and the CHEESE stole the show. Why was the cheese so thick and just stringy?! I topped it with Heinz ketchup packets. Yes, you read that right.....packets! Two of 'em did the trick. Would I go back, absolutely! Would I scout a table first, totally!!!! If you're thinking about going to Oh Brother, don't hesitate! read more

Overall not a great experience. Ordered in restaurant and it took more than 30 minutes to get a simple sandwich and fries. After all that wait the fries were both cold and still wrong. The meat on the sandwich did have a great flavor but it was very very dry with barely any cheese. The staff that talked was very nice, other staff ignored people. read more

Stopped in while doing some historical site visits. We were looking for options for a larger group and this fit the bill. Both my oldest and myself opted for the Truffle Cheesesteak. It was huge and delicious!!! Lots of great flavors that all went together. My youngest did the chicken tenders and fries. She liked the tenders and fries. The fries were extra crispy. They were good, but I am not an extra crispy fry fan. The location is clean and decorated with some Philly items on the wall. Seating can be at a premium, but tables do rotate out since the food is served pretty quickly. All of the staff was friendly and helpful with ordering and delivering food to the table. read more

These sandwiches are delicious, and my husband and I didn't even get to eat until 1 hour later after being made. Garlic perm fries were also delicious, even being soggy. I will definitely like to try fresh next time! read more

Stopped in for a late night cheesesteak and was not disappointed. I asked for a cheese steak with cooper sharp cheese and fried onions on the side. The guy behind the counter asked if I wanted the sandwich cut in half and I indicated yes. It came out without onions on the side and not sliced. He immediately had it returned and corrected with the most pleasant attitude. We also ordered jalapeño poppers. Both the jalapeño poppers and cheesesteak were phenomenal. The hoagie roll was fresh, the meat to bread ratio was perfect, and the cheese was gooey. My boyfriend said, "I could eat another one right now." The restaurant has a good amount of seating and tons of Philly decor along with a few signed Eagles jerseys. I'd highly recommend stopping in, if you're in Old city. read more

We were wandering around old Town and I really wanted to try a real cheesesteak. We wandered up on "Oh Brother" and oh brother it was delicious. I asked the guy at the counter what he suggests for my first Philly, Philly. He suggested I have "whiz" on it (what the heck is "whiz"?). It was delicious! The seasoned fries are wonderful. The meat was tender. The whole experience was great. Nice casual place. Quick service and yummy food. I completely suggest! read more

Oh Brother - best cheesesteak I've have, bar none. I cannot emphasize how tasty they were. We got the French Onion & Ribeye Phillys, and were overwhelmed. The steak was amble, cheese was generous, and flavor - outstanding. Staff was incredibly helpful & kind & went out of their way to serve. The restaurant was counter order with a spacious & clean sitting area. Loved this place & would go back to Philly just for them. read more

Disclaimer: This visit was back in August 2024 -- I forgot to post a review at the time but didn't want to miss the chance to share this great experience! While working in Philly, a coworker discovered this spot on social media, so we decided to check it out. Parking was easy -- we found a spot right in front of the restaurant, which was a nice plus. From the moment we walked in, the service stood out. We mentioned it was our first time, and the employee at the register took the time to walk us through the most popular menu items -- he was absolutely fantastic and made us feel welcome. The restaurant had plenty of seating with tables, which made it easy for us to sit and enjoy our meal. I ordered the original steak Philly with both white American cheese and provolone, along with a side of fries topped with Old Bay seasoning. OMG -- the food was incredible! The sandwich was hands down the best Philly I've ever had. And the fries? I'd never seen a place offer Old Bay fries, but I'm so glad I tried them -- they were packed with flavor and paired perfectly with the sandwich. Everything was spot-on, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. Highly recommend! read more

I liked the ambiance of this place. It's clean, the food smells great and tastes really good. They have an outside seating area as well as an open inside area. There are ceiling fans throughout just in case those are needed and this looks new. I had the brisket deluxe sandwich and had the bbq sauce on the side. Parking is street level but there's a metro stop really close by. I'll come back! read more

We had a party of six and it was nice enough to sit outside. We received all our food hot and at the same time. Everyone's food and sides (cheesesteaks, onion rings, chicken, etc. was tasty). We definitely recommend this restaurant for lunch while taking in the Philly sights! read more

3.5 stars for a gooey cheesy cheesesteak with a short wait. This is a quick turnover restaurant with limited seating. There were seats outdoors in the warmer weather when we went. Service was quick and there are a few different options. Had the regular cheesesteak with white american cheese and it hit the spot. It did not amaze me but it was solidly good. Overall a great spot for a cheesesteak. read more

Oh Brother Philly - Cheesesteak with white American cheese - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

OK cheesesteak place on Market, although seems to be more tourist-driven with lower quality and prices are on the higher side. Cheesesteak was a bit dry, and the portions were a lot smaller than anticipated. No parking available, accessible primarily by foot. Staff seems pretty disinterested and less involved with food and the ambiance of the location. Fries were OK. Would probably not recommend if you're looking for a good cheesesteak/sandwich place and try another option if you can find it. read more

Oh Brother replaced what was once a California Tortilla and man, did they outdo themselves! This is in a prime location in the heart of Northeast Philadelphia. Employees were attentive and friendly, greeting us immediately when we walked in. The painting of sports stars on the wall was super unique and represents Philadelphia in a positive way. I ordered a Shroom Truffle Burger and subbed the beef patty for a plant based patty. I'm not a Swiss cheese lover, but this was OUTSTANDING. The cheese was perfectly melted, topped with fried onions, mushrooms and arugula. The ingredients blended together extremely well. I loved the potato bread bun, too. Garlic Parm fries were perfectly seasoned with lots of Parmesan cheese and parsley. The garlic truffle mayo on the side for dipping really shined through. There is plenty of seating and several customers were popping in for pickup orders. It was a beautiful day so I don't blame people for not wanting to dine in, but best believe this is a place will fill up during the colder months. I asked for a To-Go bag and it is reusable and sturdy!! A nice approach from the usual paper bag. There's something for everyone at Oh Brother. I'll absolutely be back to try other burgers and a shake! read more
