Cheesesteak

Tony Luke’s – Philadelphia

by

Bon Appétit’s Alex Delany brought me here. This guy ate 16 cheesesteaks in 12 hrs and said he’d go back here for more. After hearing that you know I had to stop by.

What else to know: The cheesesteak here is delicious! A bit greasy but can you expect anything else? You have to get it with cheese whiz. Don’t let someone else tell you otherwise unless you absolutely love the other types of cheese. I love the condiments station. There’s a never ending amount of fresh pickles and pickled peppers. That’s a huge plus for me. Come here if you want the Philly experience. You can skip Geno’s and Pat’s.

4.5/5

I literally just had Tony Luke’s before this (you can check out my review there too). My Uber driver told me to come here for Philly’s best cheesesteak so here I am.

What else to know: Pretty good. The steak was cut thin and ribbon-like. Quality steak was used here. Bread was nice and crispy. Good portion here; they didn’t over do it and it wasn’t small either. “Cleaner” tasting than Tony Luke’s. Great beer selection. I was not disappointed with this place. Will return.
