My friends and I drove from NY to attend Halloween Nights at the local nearby now defunct penitentiary. It's great they're open 24/7. I had the cheesesteak with American white cheese and onions, regular fries, and sweet tea (although I ordered an Arnold Palmer, but whatever). Service and staff were quick and efficient. My sandwich was okay. They provided a decent portion of meat. I wish the onions could've been grilled a couple of minutes longer using smaller cuts of onion. Fries were golden, crispy, and hot. We dined outside as there are no sit-in accommodations inside the facility because it's not equipped for that option. Overall, I would come back to Philly to try cheesesteak again, possibly at a different facility.
My cheesesteak whiz was super delicious and huge! The cheese sauce was enough but not too much. However I would not recommend the tasteless provolone cheesesteak. $14 each cash only.
Good decent amount of fries. I would choose normal fries instead of cheese fries next time $7.
I didn’t have to wait for my cheesesteak and there were plenty of tables to choose from at 8:30 pm. on a weeknight.
Great cheese steak. Roll was soft and fresh, and the steak was tender and full of flavor. I like that they put the wiz on the roll first then put the steak on top. This prevents the cheese from getting lost all over the wrapper. We tried both Pat's and Geno's and found Geno's a bit better. Geno's was also $1.25 less for the exact same sandwich order. Great sandwich!
I was excited to try authentic Philly cheesesteak. It was provided hot and the line moved quickly. After trying, I discovered I'm not a huge fan of Philly cheesesteaks. That's not a knock on the restaurant just not my cup of tea. It reminded me of an elevated onion burger. I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it.
This place, by far, wins the cheese steak war with that other place across the street...and it's even better still at 5 am! The staff is awesome, full of character, sass, and smiles! The sandwich hot and juicy, and oh-so-full of flavor! Definitely a must-do on a visit to Philly! Bring cash - they don't accept plastic!
It's been 20+ years since I've been to Philly, but I have never forgotten how good the cheese steak are at Geno's!
When planning this trip I had to let my friend know that this was going to be our lunch stop.
The cheese steak is so good! My friend agreed!
We stopped by Gino's Steaks in Philadelphia to try their famous Philly Cheese Steaks. Overall, it was a solid experience, but not without a few issues. First off, parking was nearly impossible, so that was a bit frustrating. Also, they don’t accept credit cards, only cash, which is a bit inconvenient.
While we were outside, a guy asked me for donations, which wasn’t the best start, but moving on to the food — I ordered a basic cheese steak with cheese whiz. It was okay, nothing extraordinary. A Philly cheese steak is basically what you'd expect: a sub with cheese and meat. It didn’t really stand out to me, but it was tasty enough.
The place itself looked pretty cool, and the best part was how fast they got my sub ready — no wait time at all after I paid. All in all, it was a solid experience, so I’d give it four stars.
Pretty good Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich but a little cold. I love my Sandwich hot with cheese well melted, hopefully next time I go it will be. I would suggest they use real mushrooms and grill them instead of tined ones. Will try again.
