STEAKS ON SOUTH is the best in Philly 12/23/2008

Steaks on south is without question the best steaks I have ever had in my life. The staff is very friendly and its very clean. We went to the flyers game a few nights ago, wanted something really good yet something fast so we stopped at Steaks on south for dinner. We were in and out in less than 20 minutes. Friendly sevrvice, very clean and the food was outstanding. I would definately recommend Steaks on South to friends and family. I also like the wide veriety of drinks available. They have the mini old style Coke bottles too. It's definately a 5 star restaurant and I'll go again.... Jim Harvey S.P Pros: Everything about the place, it's very clean and great service Cons: None to mention more

Cheesesteak made perfectly! 12/23/2008

Finally a cheesesteak made right at Steaks On South! Hanging on South Street for years I always avoided ""the tourist trap"" Jim's. SOS steaks are made to order. It takes a bit longer but it is truly fresh. They don't have a bunch of meat cooking all at once that they scope out to the masses. \r The staff is fun and happy plus the bathrooms are clean. Pros: Fresh, good value, delicious, friendly staff, clean place and up stairs seating Cons: Parking more

Its worth the time to wait next door for a steak from Jims 10/25/2008

I decided to try SOS, thinking that I could get a cheese steak quickly, and that it would be decent. I was wrong. It was not very busy, but I still managed to wait about 20 minutes for a cheese steak. All around, the steak was inferior to those of Pats, Jims, Ginos, and Ricks (but not as bad as Jakes, which is in Liberty 2 food court). I also had to miss 20 minutes of football because they do not have any flat screen TV's to watch while you wait around for lack luster food. This place has a long way to go as they cannot mimic the steaks their competitors cook. Pros: Place seemed clean, staff was friendly Cons: Second rate cheese steaks, slow service more

Friendly, welcoming atmosphere 8/29/2008

I am a student who attends Jean Madeline, which is right next door to SOS. I go there daily, despite the fact that there are endless options in which to eat on South Street. You won't receive better customer service ANYWHERE on South Street. The staff is genuinely friendly and kind and I always feel like my business is greatly appreciated. I have never felt so welcomed in an eating establishment before. Plus, the food is great! A few other bonuses are the amount of seating available and they take credit cards, unlike most of the other steak places in Philly. You can't go wrong! :) Pros: top notch customer service! Cons: is a bit pricey, but so is everywhere on south street... more

i eat a lot of cheesesteaks 4/26/2008

BEST cheesesteaks are truly grilled at Steaks On South... and i order cheesesteaks a lot . i'm always looking for a better cheesesteak - i have not found one better. your meat is the best - no gristle and no fat... i love lean meat! Maybe you should call your steaks ""Voted Best in Philadelphia - SOS's Gourmet Cheesesteaks""! - 'cos it's the truth! Also the place is great to people watch, with the big windows. Pros: locals who know where to go for the true best more

A GREAT Philly Cheesesteak 4/25/2008

SOS makes one of the best cheesesteaks in Philly, and I?d go there for that reason alone. SOS subscribes to the philosophy that using a ton of meat makes for a great steak. As it happens, I too subscribe to that philosophy. That?s why I?m a big fan of this great steak place. Pros: Mouth watering cheesesteaks, fries, chicken cheesesteaks, Friendly Cons: Too many options to choose from more

These Guys are a JOKE 4/14/2008

Hands down the worst place to get cheesesteaks, ever. They get your order wrong, make you wait to remind them to give you your drink after you wait 10 minutes for an awful cheesesteak. There is a sign that mocks Genos about what language you can order in, and it is a total joke. This place has no business mocking Genos when their steaks use half the amount of meat that Genos uses. This dive had no line on a sunny Sunday afternoon, while Jim's line stretched around the corner. They should try putting an honest amount of steak on their sandwiches. They really stink. Awful. Rather eat garbage for free. Cons: lack of steak, customer service, bs coupons, staff does not speak english (no joke) more

veggie steaks? heck yeah! only decent sandwhich joint on south street. 8/13/2006

Being a former meat eater I was expecting to eat only fries in the establishment. Let me tell you, this place caters to all. The vegetarian steak I had, my husband had the portabella mushroom sandwich... sat upstairs, watched the hustle and bustle of south street while enjoying my culinary delights. If you are new to the city. grab a tastykake. We met Pat the owner. A wonderful person and truly an ambassador of foods to your great city. Kudos! Pros: great food, lifestyle firnedly- down to eath people. Cons: none. more

Best Steaks (and chicken steaks) anywhere!!! 7/27/2006

The service is great, the quality is superior, there is a much better selection, and the atmosphere is very friendly. Why would anyone consider going anywhere else? (I am too busy to get in line at a restaurant that is not appropriately staffed.) Pros: Quality, service, ambience Cons: Sanwhiches are too big! more

GREAT Quality Food, FRIENDLY service 7/26/2006

Being a Philadelphian I was impressed. My family and I was greeted with a warm welcome. The choices were plentiful and what we ate was made to order. The meat was fresh, the customer service was excellent and the view of upstairs made the experience wonderful. They make Philadelphia proud by serving with brotherly love. Pros: Quality food, friendly atmosphere, clean Cons: My sandwich was too big to finish more

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE CITY 7/19/2006

I live in the neighborhood and my husband and I have eaten mostly everywhere. Steaks on south has very poor customer service. Everyone in there is rude, not to mention, they mess up your order and act as if it is your fault. If this is how they treat the neighbors, how do they treat the tourists? I would never recommend this place to anyone, there are way better places on South street to get a cheesesteak with a smile. Cons: MANY more

Quality Cheesteaks 6/4/2006

Steaks on South is the best place for cheesesteaks. the steaks are excellent and the service is great. Too many places try to pass off day old bread to their customers but not Steaks on South. The second floor is also a great place for people watching. If you go Definitely try their Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak. Pros: Great Parking, Great View, Clean more

living away from philadelphia for the last few years,stumbled across this place .the look attracted my eye. was really suprised on the new take on cheesesteak. if you had jims or pats or genos or even some of the others in town, you may want to try this. sure it dont have celebrity pics hanging up, but who wants to eat a cheesesteak because al alberts showed up there one time? im into food not 8x10 pics of people. try the portabello mushroom cheesesteak. my god, i had to get 1 to go. S. Rajtora Pros: atmosphere, sandwhiches, south street Cons: south street parking more

BEST cheesesteak of Philly 5/26/2006

The food at Steaks on South is awesome. The atmosphere is great, sitting up on the second floor and overlooking South Streets vibrant life, makes this a great experience. The menu has everything from traditional steaks, chicken cheese steaks to a broccoli rabe and portabello mushroom combination (which is phenonminal.) South Street is a big tourist spot so Steaks on South (308 South St.) is well placed in that area. It is open late as well. Easy access to Indepence Hall and other hot spots in Philly. I was amazed how family-friendly they are. Perfect for large groups. Pros: quality, family-friendly, clean more
