Steve's Prince Of Steaks

I tried Steve’s for the first time. It’s good but not in my top 10 places for cheesesteaks. It has a strong following so take my criticism as just my own opinion. Service was awkward- one window for sandwiches and another for fries and drinks, each with its own register. I tried it, but won’t go back.

I have eaten at Steve’s Prince of steaks over the years, both at the Mayfair location and the Center City location. Not sure if those two locations are even there anymore. However, my daughter wanted a cheesesteak, so I said, how about we drive Steve’s on the boulevard so we did. Inside itself was very clean, and the gentleman taking our order was very pleasant. However as soon as I saw the ATM I knew it was a cash only place. I wasn’t happy about that but it is what it is. I ordered a pizza steak with fried onions and my daughter got a cheesesteak with wiz. The meat itself appeared to be of better quality than some steak places, and cooked flat instead of how a lot of places cook it chopped up in smaller pieces. It had a nice flavor and the meat was tender. The fried onions paired nicely with the meat. Overall the steak was good. However, I feel the meat could have been seasoned a little with at least a little salt and pepper, and it could of had slightly more cheese and sauce on it. The price was also a little steep for the size of the sandwich but I will assume it’s because it is potentially a better cut of meat. Bottom line is, it was good and I would eat here again, but it wasn’t in my Top Ten of local cheesesteaks. On the wall there was mention of “Best of” awards for Steve’s but they were years old…one date that stuck in my head was ‘92. You make good steaks for sure. But if you want to make great steaks…you might want to visit some local competitors to see where you fall short.

Always fast! Always fresh meat! Always friendly service! Food prepared to your liking. Been eating here for the last 10 years and never been unhappy with their service. The kitchen as well as the whole place is clean and you can literally see how your food is handled. Really authentic cheesesteak in the heart of Northeast Philadelphia. Quick high quality meals!
