Sonny's Famous Steaks

We were looking for the best Philly Cheesesteak while in Philadelphia. I finally determined it is impossible. After consuming 3, they were so different from each other, I am not sure how you determine which is best or original etc.. However, I did really like this one. I got it with onions and Cooper Cheese. I thought the meat could have been seasoned just a little more, and include a little more cheese. I did eat the entire sandwich which was a first. The fries were also perfectly done. Price was very fair.

I think Sonny's is famous because they tell everyone it is ! When you're running an old established and apparently iconic fast food store, it would be good if it was looked after and well managed. It did help having the strong smell of 'weed' outside and a few stoned guys milling around. Adrian, seemed to begrudgingly take my order with the absolute bare minimum of conversation, total lack of assistance and plenty of apathy! It wasn't busy, however, the store had full bins, stacked empty bread trays in the corner and dirty tables, the place did not give a hygienic appearance with its retro look ! The 'famous' cheese steak sandwich was nothing special although it did taste fresh. Overall, a disappointing experience not to be repeated in my opinion and I would not take children there !!

Narrow restaurant with limited seating inside. Line moved quickly and the smell of grilled meat and onions made us hungry. Ordered Sonny’s loaded cheesesteak with onions mushrooms and peppers with onion rings and fries. The sandwich was stuffed with meat and the provolone was gooey. Excellent sandwich and the rings were thick and crispy My wife got the gluten free bun and it was excellent. Highly recommended. We took our sandwiches to a nearby park to eat lunch. My daughter shared her pictures with me for this post
