Dalessandro's

The Cheesesteak was delicious. We waited about 35 minutes to get our food. Thankfully, we found street parking. You cannot go inside. You order your food at the right window. Then you wait until your name is called and then go to the left window to pay and pick up your food. They text you as well. They only accept cash. There is an ATM outside the restaurant. However, it was out of order when we were there. They have 3 tables outside to sit and eat. It was raining so we ate in our car. I am glad we tried it and will go back again when visiting Philadelphia.

The line and ordering system takes some getting used to, but if you ask the locals, they'll be happy enough to tell you how it all works. The wait was rather long, but if you're driving down from North Jersey, it's worth the wait. The cheese steak sandwich with provolone and fried onions and peppers was so moist and flavourful. Once you started eating, there was no putting it down. Half a sandwich each made us regret not buying two more for the road back home. Would we come back? Absolutely, right after a two day fast and a jog. Hands down best cheese steak, but a statement like that would spark some controversy. You decide

Excellent Steak Hoagies here! **Cash only!** 💵 There was street parking available. Long lines but they have a very smooth and efficient process. One window is for a worker to take your order. The service is direct and to the point. The other is for the customer to pay and pick up your order. They will call you by the name you provide when your order is ready. You won’t be disappointed.

The cheesesteaks are pretty good but I don’t think they are worth standing in an unorganized line for 45 mins. We went on a Saturday during lunch time so I’m assuming that’s probably the busiest time. The lady who runs the line could be nicer. Although they have an ATM it’s a little inconvenient they don’t accept card.

After trying other cheesesteaks during my visits to the Philadelphia area over the years, I finally made my way to Dalessandro's. I stopped by at around 9pm on a Wednesday night and luckily there were only a few people there. I easily found street parking nearby at that time. The system they have is very efficient. You place your order and then wait for your name to come up on the large screen there. Once your name appears, you go to the other window to pay and pick up your item. Besides from the cheesesteak variations, there are also hoagies, burgers and salads as well as a few dessert options. I was surprised at the wide variety of beer they carried...quite an extensive list. I was also surpised at how reasonable the prices were...for a place of their notariety. Cheesesteaks and all sandwich (hoagie) item are $12-14 and are pretty hefty. Beer is about $5. Although the cheesesteak appeared pretty plain, it was very good. I enjoyed the flavor of the steak and how finely it is chopped. Just enough cheese without being overpowering. It definitely is a bit different from other cheesesteaks I've had, but is preferred. There is some outdoor seating there. They are Cash Only.
