    Great little place in south Philly a few minutes from I-95. Parking is a little tough. There is a small lot nearby. The SMALL steak is HUGE. $20 for a steak, coleslaw, and a drink. Cash only. I was there mid-afternoon and there was a line. Food came out fast. There was a picture of Babe Heffron and Bill Guarnere (101st Airborne) over the counter. When I said something, the entire group became incredibly friendly and shared a few stories about them.

    Echoing other reviewers... not huge flavor but very meaty and super hot. Could use more cheese/whiz and some extra grease (I know but why get cheesesteak that isn't greasy?) A few points off for cash only and lack of seating. But fair location if you're going up or down 95 and need a quick bite.

    The food is always outstanding! There's always a line, but they seem to knock out that line very fast. The ambience is a very nice setting! Unfortunately there's no seating inside there so you have to get your sandwich waiting in line and then you can leave. Everything about the sandwiches is fabulous! Their prices are also very good! They never disappoint!
