Max's Steaks

Cheesesteak restaurant · Franklinville

"Like the Met, Max’s has played host to its share of famous people: This classic North Philly cheesesteak shop appeared in Rocky sequels Creed and Creed II and also an episode of This Is Us. Some locals like to add roasted peppers for a couple extra bucks to these hefty steak sandwiches. Find a flat surface to eat outside or bring cheesesteaks into the attached Eagle Bar. It’s just a short subway ride from here to the show." - Sarah Maiellano
