Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure
James P.

I got the mushroom steak. I was standing next to a Liscio's bread box, which made me happy. It was raining so I had a car picnic. I was not very excited when I unwrapped my cheesesteak. It was looking a little thin. I was happy when I broke it apart to take my center-cut picture because there was a sneaky good amount of meat in the Liscio's roll. I was even more happy to see that the grill guy got the provolone cheese to melt. I got sweet peppers, they added a nice flavor. Nice place and people. I wish the Cheesesteak was a little bigger.

They posted a picture of their food which had steak fries, I didn't receive steak fries..I received cheap, thin, dry crinkle cut fries which ended up in the trash. As for the onion rings, they are fast food style. The ones in their picture look pretty good, were these the same ? Maybe, I'm not sure so I won't worry about the rings, just know a small box is $5..fast food style, not big breaded ones. As you can see, the cheesesteak was very light on the meat. I feel like I wasted $65 dollars on 3 steaks with little meat, 3 sides of cheap fries and fast food onion rings. The bubble tea was fine, never had it before so I can't compare. Waste of time and money. It's ashame because I received a menu for the sushi place next door in my bag and believe they are related. I love Kasumi sushi and was one of the first to give them a five star review. I'll never come back here though.

2nd half of the jawn. Nickel for reference. Pathetic excuse for a cheesesteak. I want my money back!

Today was the day. I finally decided to give this place a shot. I should've known something was up when I didn't see a line. The gentleman that took my order was very nice and I even tipped a buck - thinking he would hook my cheesesteak up.. But apparently I was wrong as could be. You gotta be kidding me with the skimpiness of the meat. They have the nerve to charge $10.25 for a version of a cheesesteak that should only cost 6 dollars tops! They're getting two stars instead of one because the place was actually clean and the guy was nice. The drink selection was also OK. I'm expecting a FAT mouthwatering cheesesteak.. one that I can eat half now and eat the other half later. I don't think I've been been this disappointed in weeks. This place should definitely be out of business soon, hopefully the family that runs it, loses ALL of their money because they should not even be in business. This was a YUGE misteak! Take your business elsewhere.. anywhere but here!

This is a brand new Cheesesteak shop in South Philadelphia where the bread is very soft and the beef is fresh, especially the Penrose burger. The kids and I love it. If the fries could be better, that would be perfect. And milk tea is also great.highly recommend 。

The only thing that I liked was the roll. I would not return. It tasted like minute steak from the acme.

Service was a little slow today. Usually pretty good. I like sitting at the bar at happy hour…read more Great service and drinks. There is always a good background noise as the restaurant is typically busy. But not too loud so your party can still have a great conversation. Enjoyed the lunch today especially the fish and chips. The clam chowder is a must. And they have the best fries.

This place is FIRE!!!…read more Best oysters I ever had, and they came with a lot of oyster liquor (natural juice that oysters produce, a mix of seawater from their habitat and their own internal fluids such as hemolymph (the invertebrate equivalent of blood) and cellular fluids). The oyster liquor makes it so the oyster remains fresh btw as well which is obviously uber important. We had oysters from Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut and all of the ones we chose you could taste the unique differences from one to the next. Crab cakes were on point; the vegetables were next level with the side of asparagus coming with roe on top of it. New England soup was actually light and not heavy like most creamy NE soups which I appreciated as it made me have room for the rest of the meal. We also indulged in some Butterscotch Pudding which in my view had three distinct flavors. The very top tasted similar to sweet creme Brule, the actual pudding was creamy and delish and there was a garnish of whipped cream I believe on top. All items surpassed my expectations and we will definitely be repeat customers. Highly Recommend. As always people SYOY!!!!

I think the last time I was at this corner munching on something it was a different place. But, on…read morethe multi-festival Saturday, second of May in the year 2026, I can definitively say that I've now tried the little seafood spot on one of our favorite corners, that we're almost always just passing by to get to Time. First, the friendly, informative service: in an oyster bar with a rotating fresh selection, that's an underrated must. We were seated outside, given a rundown of the menu and "as it's ready" flow of the kitchen. We got a pair of cocktails, the Melonata and a Tequila Julep. I think the Melonata might be my new summer favorite. It looks like Ecto Cooler but doesn't give a distinct feeling of growing diabetes while drinking it. In grown up terms, it was well balanced, not too sour, not too sweet, and deeply herbal, fruity, and refreshing at the same time. The Tequila Julep was a Mint Julep with tequila instead of bourbon. It was good, though it's hard to mess that set of ingredients up. We got a selection of oysters and a shooter. Every oyster was distinct and different. Felt like there were no "different on the menu but same in flavor profile" that you can sometimes run into. This implies it's well curated. I have no idea, because I'm not an expert fishmonger, nor do I know whether that term specifically applies here - case in point. Anyway, I got 2 from Washington State, and another from Cape May. The first WA was large, buttery, and had the satisfying chew of young coconut flesh. Semi sweet. The second was smaller, sharper, and briny as hell - tasted of the ocean. And finally, the Cape May was mild and fresh, a good balance between the two others. It was a perfect little tasting menu that I'd created by just ordering the first three guys off the list. Not sure what selection came with the shooter, but the concoction in the shot glass shooter was bright green and pickly. Glad I got it as a contrast to the classics with what I assumed was red wine vinegar. Besides that, we snacked on salmon avocado toast with the Calabrian Chili Oil. It was also very, very good. Sometimes things are better than the sum of their parts. This is true here, but it's also worth noting that the individual parts - the bread, the smoked salmon, the chili oil, the avocado, the shaved onions - were excellent in their own right. We will be back for sure.

Definitely can do better and dropped from my 5 star last few visits to this experience. Happy hour…read moreand we managed to snag the last two seats at the bar just at 4. Placed an order for drinks, oysters and the rest of happy hour menu and choice selection of regular menu. I assumed things would come out staggered. Usually cocktails and raw bar would come first. But no. Raw bar came after sandwiches and wings so that threw off the ambiance. I still hadn't received my drink as more food was being delivered around me; and while I was watching one bar staff crouching under the bar on their phone, after a while I was like...do you know if my drink is on the way? It was her. She forgot. Literally It's first seating at the bar. Anyways wings were fine. oysters and clams great. Shrimp toastie & fish Sandwich fine. But when it came to the Al Pastor Octopus that I generally love here, this one was both chewy and slimy. Like the whole sleeve of the octopus had a slime layer- , was it the tentacles part? I had to keep spitting out. Not a nice chargrilled taste but each slice chewy with slime layer. Bleh. So disappointed. Threw the $20 into the trash. Didn't even get an "oh no" from the staff. Like why did we not want it when asked and I made the face. each bite was slime We settled up and immediately went next door to eat at double knot and that, per usual, WAS 5 star amazing.

It's not worth it even if it was 1/2 off or buy one get one…read more They are running a deal on uber eats & Instacart so I decided to try. It can't be that bad but it absolutely WAS! The boil had no flavor tastes like water with the everything seasoning. I actually was disgusted with how bad it was typically corn is my favorite and they found a way to F that up. The broccoli was damn near raw. The mussels were just okay. Crab was pitiful and the shrimp was overcooked. Again no flavor. Even the butter didn't taste right. I wouldn't eat here for FREE. Never ever again.

I came here with a group of friends for lunch. This is a cute little casual eatery, serving seafood…read moreboil, coconut shrimp, fried fish, pasta, fried rice, and an assortment of other small bites and offerings. The decor is colorful with a nautical theme. Since there were so many options, I had a hard time deciding what to order. I finally went with one of the seafood combination boils, and chose Combo A, which consisted of half pound snow crab, half pound shrimp with no head, corn, potato, and broccoli. I also added Sausage, which was $1 extra. I was very happy with the Snow Crab, because the legs were nice and thick. I used the cracker tool to get the meat out and it worked pretty well. The crab meat was delightfully tender, flaky, and was full of flavor made even tastier in the buttery garlic sauce. The shrimp had to be peeled, but was quite juicy and succulent. The veggies were fresh, soft, and cooked perfectly. The sausage was wonderfully well seasoned. I also got to try Coconut Shrimp, Hush Puppies, and Sweet Potato Fries. The Coconut Shrimp was lightly breaded, amazingly crispy, with the great taste of coconut. The Hush Puppies were also decent, and satisfyingly crunchy. Sweet potato fries were yummy and addicting. Service was great. Our server was friendly and on top of it, making sure we were taken care of. I was certainly happy with meal. If I return, I would try the Fried Basket of Fried Flounder with Calamari, and Seafood Fried Rice.
