    Buffalo Wings
    Justin B.

    Mediocre at best. I used to live near this spot but never tried it. So today my lunch crew and I all go meals. First off everything arrived covered in wing sauce with holes in the bag. I know you're gonna say it's the drivers fault but if you put it in a container that doesn't close that it's your fault. The wings reminded me of Freddy Kruger's face. Like these were cooked. I even like my wings a little crisp. So it's hard for me to imagine a wing that is too cooked. The salad was weak AF. Lettuce, a tomato and large cubes of fatty chicken. It was literally all the extra toppings left over from the cheesesteaks. Both the blue cheese dressing and the ranch tasted pretty much identical. One was just chunky. It was strange. The actual cheese steaks made me question how they are measuring a lb. Maybe the scale starts at .5. It's not the worst cheesesteak place but I doubt I'll be back.

    Actually, pretty good. The bread was nice and soft and steak was only thing I have to say is make sure to add cheese if your GrubHubing it

    This 2ft cheesesteak lasted me quite a while! Alright amount of meat, a soft long roll and even though cheese was extra $, they added it anyway which I appreciated! Hamburger roll was also alright, and I enjoyed both.

    WHO: party of 3 WHY: hunger WHAT: (Deets) super long Philly cheese steak, provolone cheese onions and peppers. Hold the ketchup! This is a walk-up window business. I am in Philly 1-2 times/ year, and though there are decent spots on South Street, this is my go-to. The meat is flavorful. The toppings are fresh, and ultimately, it's consistently delicious. WHEN: March 31 WHERE: take away HOW: car BATHROOM: n/a WIFI: n/a DRESS CODE: as you like SERVICE: prompt, cordial BOTTOM LINE: treat yourself to THESE fairies. Sooooo worth it! TIP: though it may appear so, it is not likely closed, even very late at night.

    The cheesesteak was not horrible but herion has ruined Kensington. 4 different ambulances went by. A group of teenagers harassed a woman panhandling. Another woman was trying to eat a cheesesteak but she just kept rocking and itching herself. I drove down Lehigh Ave to get away from the activity and eat the CS but had to move again because a man was checking cars for an unlocked door.

    Green 1 Ft Gr. Pepper Cheese Steak look at the picture with red peppers NOT green unless I am color blind.

    Must be just my order this was terrible food. Let me Atari with the unfriendly cashier. The food is mediocre food . No flavor, not 100% sure it's steak. Fries are soggy so I wasted $35.75 here. Looking for a trash can since one isn't located outside the restaurant to dump my food. No I do not recommend this place for food. Positives: drinks were very cold to quench my thirst. And lots of street parking.

    I travel through Philadelphia everyday for work. Every time I passed One Pound Cheesesteaks I always wanted to stop, but never did. I happened to be commuting right by one day and stopped. I got there at 11:45am. I then quickly realized that they do not open until 12. I waited until 12 and approached the building. Although they weren't ready, a server came out and took my order. I had a small cheesesteak with American cheese and an order of fries. It took longer than expected, but I realize I was the first order of the day. By the time my food was ready there was a line of customers waiting to order. I estimate it took roughly 20 min. There is no inside seating but there are a few tables outside. I had to order to go, as it was 100 degrees that day. I found the cheesesteak to be average at best. It wasn't overly stuffed with meat as I expected. The fries were good, and the portion was also pretty large. Being from the area; there are plenty of other options that have a tastier cheesesteak. It is also located in a "rough" part of town, so I wouldn't go out of my way to get there.

    So, I've been a bit backlogged with my reviews, and its been a while since the visit, but there's only one word to describe One Pound Cheesesteaks when i rolled up on it last week, "Clutch". Originally we tried to go to 3-4 different places all of which wound up closed early, or having shut down their grills and fryers despite being open. Suffice to say we remembered One Pound and their manly hours of operation, 2 AM closing on SUN-THURS, and 4AM on Fridays and Saturdays- that's something we can get down with. Thursday in the late-night we rolled up, buddy grabbed a normal 2-ft steak- that's it. Meanwhile i grabbed a 2-ft steak w/ salt pepper and ketchup, an order of cheese fries, and an order of chicken fingers as well- hadn't eaten all day. Locations nice all things considered, couple of benches nearby, some umbrella's, seats and a counter, tons of photos plastered over the whole thing- its pretty cool.. Foods made fresh to order, gets banged out pretty quick, and its fantastic for the price- i think, i cant even remember how much i payed- all i remember is being A-OKAY with the price. Was a little colder out that day, and the wind was kicking up but the food stayed warm while i went to town on it, steak was fantastic, needed more cheese- but was well seasoned, the ketchup i wound up with was closer to salsa. (No complaints, was FANTASTIC.) Roll was nice and fluffy surprising given the time of day. Fries were nice and crisp the way you'd want them to be before soaking them in wiz, (Not Whiz) which was decent, could have used some salt or seasoning out the fryer before being tossed in for their wiz baptism. Biggest surprise here were the tenders, these aren't any vendor i'm familiar with, so i'm pretty sure they're made in house, some light Italian breading and thin chicken breast, like some homemade-chicken parm- threw me for a loop, really enjoyed it, had some texture issues, but that could be easily fixed by a second wash and breading. Its a nice place to sit down and go ham on some grub, they even accept cards as long as you spend $10 or more, and a charge if you spend less, plus there's an ATM conveniently outside. I'll definitely be back here on the late night again. TL;DR? Thoroughly consistent, dirt cheap, food being served quickly late at night? SIgn me up. Flavor & Presentation 4.25/5 | Service & Speed 3.66/5 | Price & Proportion 4.25/5 Overall 4/5

    I've been meaning to try almost home general for quite some time, now I'm kicking myself that I…read morewaited this long. I had heard alot about their chicken caesar wrap, and as a chicken caesar enthusiast, I had to give it a shot. This was absolutely incredible. Dare I say the best wrap I've had in Philly. Everything was perfectly fresh, the dressing was delicious, and the wrap was perfectly grilled. I went for the truffle fries on the side, they were great as well. Perfectly fried and seasoned. Unfortunately my snickerdoodle latte wasn't the greatest. The flavoring was lovely and was just sweet enough, but the espresso was a bit burnt. Overall this was great, definitely adding to my lunch rotation.

    Food: The bagels themselves were unfortunately very hard and…read morenot entirely enjoyable to eat. That said, the egg, cheese, and fixings were great. It's possible the bagels weren't fresh when we visited (Tuesday morning). I ordered a cereal latte and a mango smoothie. The coffee was fine but not something I'd order again, while the smoothie was really good and something I would recommend. While dining in, the overall presentation felt more like a cafeteria experience than a sit-down café. We were given plastic to-go utensil sets, plastic cups, plastic straws, and our food was served on a baking sheet. The overwhelming use of plastic felt underwhelming for dining in and didn't align with the price point, especially when the average coffee + bagel total exceeds $15. Service: The staff was friendly overall, but not very mindful of professional behavior while working. While the atmosphere is meant to be relaxed, one barista was sitting on the countertops and taking personal calls on speaker, which felt off-putting as a customer. Ambiance: It's a nice open space with great natural lighting and plenty of seating. Overall, it's a good place to work, hang out, and get caffeinated.
