I purposefully went through PHL to A) change it up and B) seek a local cheesesteak during my layover. I've tried airport Genos with little culinary impact (although I'd argue the brick and mortar doesn't churn out the best sandwiches either). I saw I'd be walking by Passyunk's on my way to the next gate, so I gave it a try. Order at one of two kiosks and anything you select will be given by the vendor (i.e., do not grab your beverage from the adjacent, self-service store front; they're different companies). The service was quick and easy, which is great for anyone rushing to their next flight. The resulting sandwich, however, was underwhelming. I absolutely agree and confirm what Yelper Alicia B. notes; Passyunk skimps on cheese whether you pay for extra or not. After ten years of regular travel, I know it's not impossible to find flavorful meals in an airport...but they're still rare. Often times it feels as if eateries don't try because they don't have to--you're in an enclosed environment with minimal choices and you often need sustenance. Sadly, I'd lump Passyunk's in that category. If you are interested in filling your belly, it'll do. If you're looking for a great cheesesteak, move on.
Not bad for an airport spot tbh. Somehow this place was ranked well above the other 2 places serving Philly Cheesesteaks, while I've not tried the others, this one was pretty tasty. Place is a simple set up with no cashier but a tablet for ordering. They unfortunately were out of sweet potato fries but the guys showed me how to file for a refund (processed in 2 days). About 10 min later I got my sandwich and it was piping hot. Good amount of meat and fillings, very tasty, only complaint would be it could've used more wiz! Anyways, no regrets here and wouldn't hesitate to grab another.
If you're deciding between this spot and the other cheesesteak place, this one is the clear winner. Their cheesesteak is absolutely loaded, packed with delicious, savory flavors, and the whiz is satisfying. The cheese fries are crispy and cheesy ... perfect with the sandwich, making it a complete meal. Plus, the combo prices are reasonable, offering great value compared to other spots at the airport.
By far the best cheesesteak at the airport and among the best in Philly. They use the Amorosa Bread filled with steak that's diced pretty fine on the grill and seasoned with seasoned salt. Get it all the way and you get mushrooms, onions and peppers. I prefer mine with provolone but the whiz is good too. It can take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes to get your steak depending on how many people are ordering at once. So leave time if you have a flight to catch. The fries are good as well. Crinkle cut with seasoned salt. I get one every time I fly out of Philly. That can be once every few months or twice a week. If I'm really hungry I get a slice from the pizza side while I'm waiting. The steaks and the pizza is greasy. As it should be. That's where the flavor is. As for the ambiance. It's airport carry out only. And you order from a large touchscreen. If you hit entrees you get a sandwich fries and a small drink. The best deal if you're looking for at least two of those things. Or hit sandwiches if you're just looking for the sandwiche a la carte.
I was working a job that was headquartered in Philly, so I had to fly here a few times a year. Well I was about to quit that job so I didn't know when I'd ever return to Philly, and I thought what better way to end this venture than to get a Philly cheesesteak. I had some time before boarding my flight so I took my hungry self to Passyunk Steaks. It was attached to a pizza place. It's more of a quick order and go type of joint, not a full on sit down restaurant. At the time they were only accepting kiosk orders. I ordered the most basic Philly cheesesteak with provolone cheese. There wasn't any interaction with the workers except the part when you pick up the order. There were no tables nearby so I took it to my gate and opened it up. It was pretty large in size qnd looked tasty. The issue is that it was as dry as the Sahara desert. I was confused if they even put cheese on it. Anyways I was hungry and despite the lack of cheese, it tasted good so I continued to eat it. But it was so dry that I had to take breaks every few minutes just to clear my throat LOL. Not sure what went wrong but it was a very underwhelming Philly cheesesteak experience in the city that's known for cheesesteaks. Note to self: Get a Philly cheesesteak anywhere but the airport!
TERRIBLE!!! I wish someone had been helpful enough to leave this review BEFORE I wasted $30 on the most flavorless cr&p I've ever tasted in my life. On top of that I asked for and paid for EXTRA CHEESE and you can see from the picture there is NONE.
Best steak you can get at the airport. The bread is just right - soft on the inside and soaks up the juices. Meat is kind of dry, but still more flavorful than the Geno's here.
I'm guessing this is new to the Philly Airport as there were no pictures or reviews yet, but it was here as a business. It's located right at the "entrance" to the B Terminal gates and shares a spot with a pizza place. You order via a tablet at the counter, then go to a self pay kiosk (there's one right behind you as you look at the establishment). The close one is card only but if you want to pay cash, there is a place to do that as well. I'm not a cheesesteak connoisseur by any means, but this one was pretty tasty. The steak was chopped and pretty moist. I went with Cheese Wiz just to see how it was and it worked well on this one, although it was a little saltier when I had a bite with a lot of wiz. It was a good size but the prices for $10 cheese steak and $11 for one with onions seemed excessive. Each topping I guess is $1 or something like that. I enjoyed it for sure! I still don't get the order at the food place and pay somewhere else method. It's designed as a marketplace and it's dumb for an airport. I can't imagine the confusion if it's crowded and the poor workers who have to answer questions on where to pay from almost everyone who orders. Just a terrible system, but not really the vendors' fault. All in all, it was a tasty sandwich and even though there's a Geno's at the Airport, the reviews of Geno's were terrible. I even stopped an American Airlines employee and asked him where to go and he said avoid Geno's. I'd go back for sure. I walked over from A Terminal, ordered, and ate at Vino Volo with some wine. Great combo.
Waiting almost 10 minutes for a couple of steak subs in an airport seems like a long time. Especially when yours is the only order they're working on. At least they were made to order. We got the Passyunk a steak sub All the way. It was all the way dry. The fries weren't great. The lemonade was really good. You can self order and pay. Wish we'd waited and gone to a different spot.

Early morning in the Philadelphia airport and I needed a quick breakfast as I hustled to my flight. The name of the restaurant drew my attention first. However, it was too early and they weren't selling the Philly cheesesteaks yet. Too bad! I'll have to try that next time in that airport. I was about to leave when I saw Taylor ham on the menu! This is something that is not served everywhere and kind of unique to the eastern USA, in my opinion. I mostly familiar with Taylor Ham, from my time in New York City. Anyway, I thought I would try it. I was thrilled to see my server, cooking up my fried eggs, freshly on the grill. He was quick and efficient. He seasoned them up perfectly. The cheese was melted all over the eggs, nice and gooey. That was placed on top of us thick Taylor ham slice. I did not expect that! I thought it would be a thin slice of Taylor ham. I think it's the saltines of the ham, but I really like. And the bun absolutely wonderfully soft. This was the perfect find at the Philadelphia airport! I hope I can get back there to try the Philly cheesesteak next time. The restaurant was clean. The service was fast. There's nowhere to sit, but you can find somewhere else within the airport to sit and enjoy your meal. I give this a solid five stars for airport food. read more

Had an early flight out of PHL airport and decided to try Passyunk Steaks and I definitely made the right choice. A variety of sandwiches and other options I decided to go with the classic make your own breakfast sandwich where you choose your meat choice. I went with bacon and it came on a potato roll with egg and cheese. Though I love breakfast food I'm typically not hungry in the morning but today I was and I'm super happy I did. The sandwich was good I savored it. Had to stop and leave a review before I even finished it haha. If you're looking for a classic deli style breakfast sandwich that's not overly expensive this is definitely the place to go. The servers were friendly and quick. This may be my new airport go to in the morning read more

Had a lay over in Philadelphia in terminal c to b and was hungry. Definitely wanted to try a Philly Cheesesteak in Philadelphia. You order thru an iPad then you go to another iPad to pay, as it's an open concept quick service restaurant connected to a cashless and human less shop. Once you pay the order number goes to the kitchen and they call your name when it is ready. Good size for $11, it comes with the steak and cheese. If you want to add other toppings it's an additional $.50 to $1 depending on what you add. I also had mushrooms and onions. Very juicy, didn't feel oily. Filling and great tasting. read more

Genuinely loved my sandwich with whiz. A lil on the salty side, but satisfying as all hell. Fries had great flavor, but needed 1 or 2 more minutes in the fryer to be perfection. Guys at the register clowned me for asking about pepper relish (idk any better), but overall made me feel like I made the right choice in Terminal B. read more

I ordered two all the way with provolone, which is supposed to have provolone cheese and peppers. There was no provolone cheese or peppers only meat. Disappointing since I was told by airport staff that this place was better than Geno's. read more
