Sonny's Famous Steaks - Philadelphia

We came, we saw, we ate and we LOVED it!!! No frills, narrow and dated looking restaurant that was clearly popular based on the filled tables inside. You order at the counter, wait for your number to be called, grab your wrapped sandwiches, take a seat and enjoy! The steak sandwich is huge and delicious! The fries were topped with a generous amount of bacon and cheese. I'm so glad we gave this place a try. Two thumbs up!

A quick walk from the liberty bell, independence hall, and other historic sites. Onion rings were crispy and fried to order. Loaded cheesesteak came with sweet peppers, mushrooms and onions with choice of cheese. Service was friendly and quick. There were tables inside and outside for dining.

Had a great meal here while catching the sites in the historical part of town. It's just 3 short blocks from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. If you are looking for an authentic Philly Cheese Steak experience, this is it. We had the works, which included sweet peppers, mushrooms and grilled onions. They have cheez-whiz or provolone, and they even have gluten free buns. Cash, card they take both. Limited seating inside but there is some seating outside as well. The staff was great and you will definitely enjoy your sandwich. Would eat here again for sure.

Today is a Philly Cheesesteak foodie adventure for us. Our goal was to hit up 2 spots. First up, Dalessandro's. As we arrive we're like shhhh, we've been here before. The sandwiches were so forgettable that we don't remember if we liked it or not. We continue onto the next, Tony Nick's Steaks. It was closed for July 4th. HANGRY at his point because it was way past our lunch time, Sonny's Famous Steaks came up on my Yelp app. The line is almost out the door, that's a good sign. We each ordered the Loaded Cheesesteak with sweet peppers, mushrooms, grilled onions and your choice of cheese (we chose provolone). Our verdict: the sliced beef could be juicier in our opinion. I would have liked more grilled onions. The bread was nice and soft. It was well seasoned. We also shared some fries and that was only okay. There are cherry peppers for your taking by the plastic utensils and napkins. If you like them tart where it will make your eyes squint, then these are for you. I guess it's good in cleansing the palate after eating one of these hoagies. This sandwich shop is located in the Old City part of Philly where you can walk around with lots to see and explore including some cool coffee shops. Excellent friendly service. Restrooms: surprisingly nice and clean.

Visited Philly and wanted to try the popular cheesesteak. Ordered it as loaded and topped with cheese whiz. Sandwich was quite filling so I shared it btw two people. Beef quality is good, not dry at all and very savory. Cheese whiz tasted like melted cheddar cheese on cheeseburger. Onions and vegetables helped balance sandwich out. I feel like it'll be better if the bread is lightly toasted, but overall a decent first experience; it does get boring after a couple of bites. Service was quick and friendly. Variety of indoor and outdoor seatings.
