I could say I was left speechless with his infectious smile and conversation, but truthfully I was simply too busy keeping my mouth full with all things delicious! I couldn't just stop with one sandwich, it was so tasty and fresh, that i sampled a second and then the prime rib quesadillas. The love and detail put into their food is a testament to their success and makes Shay's truly a "must not miss" destination. I witnessed every customer treated with a familiar warmness and individualized attention that made my evening one of the best ever in beautilful Philadelphia. Thank you, Shay's, for a fantastic evening! Good luck in your expansion-Vegas here we come!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Cleavers…read more I accidentally left my bag here--with everything in it, including my ID--and we had a flight out the next day. I didn't even realize it right away, but somehow the team tracked me down at my hotel (!!). I was able to come back a couple hours later and everything was exactly as I left it. A huge thank you to Zktlko (I hope I'm spelling that right) who went out of his way to make sure I got it back. That level of care is rare and meant so much in a stressful moment. And on top of that--the food is incredible. We had the hoagies, and they were hands down the best cheesesteaks we tried in the city. Amazing people, amazing food. Grateful we stopped here.

I was kind of sad to see that it didn't exist here.

I've visited Philly many times and never had a "real" cheesesteak until yesterday. I heard from a…read moreco-worker who was in town recently and highly recommended Angelo's! My sister and I were attending the Italian market festival right where Angelo's is located. At 11:30 there was quite a line. It moved very quickly. You place your order and they text you when it's ready. For perspective, from line to getting order, approximately 30 minutes. Now the verdict! Got the chicken and I would say it was good but not great! Maybe the beef would have better. Either way, I'm glad I got to try it. Their pizza seemed to be very popular as many were ordering that. There's no dining in as there's no seating. When I'm in town again I would try it!

There was a bit of a line when we got there, but not bad, maybe. 5 minute wait to order. We both ordered a cheesesteak with provolone, but I also got onions and mushrooms (at least I think I had mushrooms). Food came out quick and hot and delicious! Great Philly 'feel' here and we sat at the counter against the wall. I've eaten a lot of cheesesteaks in Philly and this one was pretty good. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area.

The seeded roll has a lovely tender chew, thanks in part to the generous douse of au jus which is what makes each bite slay. I kept thinking the flavor reminded me of my grandmother's escarole soup, if soup were a sandwich. They are available on Gold Belly -- I've ordered it for my stepdad's 80th, sending him love from South Philly. Comfort food at its finest!

There's less of that intimidation factor here when ordering compared to the deal at Pat's and Geno's.

IGNORE ANY REVIEW THAT IS BEFORE 2022, those are from the original shop, not this one…read more Don't be fooled (like I was) This is not a variation on Tony Lukes... The name confused me to begin with and I should have gone with my gut and saved it from this assault of fatty glob. I used to come here and bring visitors to Philadelphia for a taste of a great Philly cheesesteak on the way to the airport. Won't make that mistake again. Meat was overcooked, not juicy at all. Lots of fat and grizzle, almost inedible. If I wasn't in Philly (and you know how it can get) I would have asked for my money back instead of tossing half in the trash. Save you tastebuds and go anywhere (seriously anywhere in philly) and you can get a much better sandwich. Nicks roast pork makes a better cheesesteak and its only up the street near 10th (8 blocks)

Huge portions of meat on a sesame bun and prepared to our liking (no onions). Sandwich was so big we only ate 1/2 on site and finished the rest later. The pizza looked good also, but we were hungry for cheesesteak! Nice drink selection and adequate seating; might have wanted some chips but they were not offered. While dining in we were impressed with how quickly the staff cleared and cleaned the tables when customers finished. But the 4 star review was due to my visit to the restroom. I was so shocked at the condition and lack of cleanliness. This may sound strange but what really grossed me out was the inside of the restroom door itself - it was filthy and didn't look like it had been wiped down in quite a while, the light switch needed a wipe down too and the sink needed a good scrubbing. Such a strange thing but still bothers me to this day (6 days later).

Good call. I wanted to compare both establishments at the x-shaped intersection of 9th & Passyunk. I ordered a Philly with Swiss and mushrooms - it was really really good. Due to the cool morning and other factors we left before finishing the sandwich... after a quick day of sightseeing we were visiting family for dinner and I popped the Pat's into the oven for 10 minutes and it was GREAT for dinner... we cut it into pieces and shared - fantastic!! Both are really good, and I will nod my cap to Pat's, who is also the original location. Pat's is open 24x7 and has picnic tables on the sidewalk (none inside); there is no onsite restroom.
