Ishkabibble's II

First time visiting. A local recommended it and we all loved it! Cheesesteak was very craveable. Fries and hoagie were also excellent. Will definitely come again.

Ordered a cheese steak for lunch from here after hearing it was a good spot. Wasn't all that impressed. Wasn't horrible just not great. Roll was soft and a little wet. Meat was seasoned alright and they give you plenty of it. Cheese was just on the roll not distributed throughout and there wasn't much of it. If I down the street for something I'd eat it but I wouldn't search it out.

I just arrived to “Philly” and my friend took me straight to “Ishkabibble’s.” The service was great. The food was fantastic! The meat was fresh and the fixings mouth watering. I truly enjoyed my meal.

The service was fast, the food was delicious, the portions were large, and the milkshakes were thick. We each had different cheesteaks, but they are definitely shareable. I really liked the onion rings and my son really liked the cheese fries.

These are not the same people who used to own the spot back in the day. The cashier lady is overly pushy about displaying the screen with Tips. The prices are absurd now. They love to just write everything up and then just magically tell you the balance don’t even bother with refills you may as well just purchase a whole new drink since they start at $4.50, I once treasured coming to this spot as a kid when I would be in town and now I’m just highly disappointed but the older Asian gentleman is super sweet

Wow!!! This was the best itis-prone authentic Philly cheesesteak!!! I was in heaven with the flavor! The vanilla milkshake was a great finishing touch. Customer service was awesome and the establishment was clean!! 10 out of 10 I recommend!

I had one of the worst food experiences of my life here. I ordered two chicken cheesesteaks—one spicy, one plain—and both were a disaster. The chicken was undercooked and had a weird, rubbery texture. It looked shredded but was completely flavorless, and the sandwich was drowned in ketchup and oily cheese. Just a mess. The famous “Gremlin” drink everyone talks about tasted like a basic kids’ juice box—way too sweet and not refreshing at all. This meal was a total letdown, and it’s unacceptable to serve undercooked chicken. I was excited to try this place, but I’ll never be back. Honestly, I’d give it zero stars if I could.

Unfortunately I was severely underwhelmed by this place. For almost $50 I was expecting to bite into the best cheesesteak ever or even something close to it but that was not the case. The sandwich had absolutely no flavor I doused mine in ketchup to make up for the lack of seasoning it was also pretty dry but yet the bread was soggy? I was also not expecting red peppers but that’s minor. The onion rings were coated in grease but were also undercooked inside while outside being slightly soggy as well. Overall I would give this a 4/10 I can say it was significantly better after giving it another try drunk 🥲 but that’s not saying much, sighhhh

Ishkabibble didn't disappoint. While in Philly for work, I was on a mission to find a true Philly cheesesteak, and a local at the airport pointed me in the right direction. The restaurant had a friendly environment from the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming, and they patiently walked me through the different cheesesteak options and helped me land on the South Philly Cheesesteak. I paired it with a side of fries and a strawberry milkshake. The cheesesteak blew past my expectations. Roasted peppers, spinach, provolone, grilled onions, and a touch of mayo came together in a perfect, flavorful balance. And that strawberry shake was the cherry on top. No question about it: I'll be back next time I'm in town.

I made a whole day trip from DC to Philly just to satisfy a cheesesteak craving, and Ishkabibbles made it so worth it. This was everything I wanted -- juicy, flavorful, cheesy perfection in every single bite. Sometimes cravings lead you down the wrong road, but this one? Hit the spot and then some. If you're ever in Philly (or even a few hours away like me), do yourself a favor and stop here. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

This review is much overdue since I've been coming to Ishkabibble's for nearly 20 years. I've tried other cheesesteak spots when visiting Philly, but this is my favorite. It's always consistently delicious and no-frills. The food is always cooked to order and is super fresh. I always get the cheesesteak with provolone, onions, ketchup and mayo and every time its sooo delicious. The chicken cheesesteaks are very tasty too. Today's visit was just as good always so of course I'll be back next time I'm in town!

Listen, I've never been to Philly before. This was my very first experience of a traditional cheesesteak in the cheesesteak capital of the country. I did not leave disappointed. First off, you know it's a real experience when the people working there act like they know you. Ordering was easy and they brought our food to our table. The fries were crispy and golden, the steak was flavorful and that hoagie...the perfect amount of chew vs softness. My only wish is for more cheese but honestly, I could say that on most reviews, ha! They have large windows that were open to the city and it was a beautiful evening to see and hear all that the people outside had to offer. It was a wonderful chance to get a glimpse of the local inhabitants! Please go visit!

Ordered on DoorDash. Have been to the window location before. Yummy as always. The bigger location also has breakfast items as well which I would love to try.

It's a small place. Great for pick up. Staff super friendly. Order ready in 20 minutes. It was very fresh and flavorful. Chee steak had good amount of meat with onions. Mozzarella sticks were fresh and delicious. If you don't want to wait an hour at Angelo's this place is a good replacement.

I am not a Philly native so I may not know what makes a good Philly cheesesteak. With that said if tiny pieces of crispy beef with no seasoning, topped with a few pieces of grilled onions and green peppers, and watered down whiz is a considered a good cheesesteak then I'm sorry I'm not a fan. The "Award winning" fries were so undercooked they were mushy. The restaurant is tired and needs a refresh especially at the prices charged. Just not a fan of Ishkabibble on South Street at all.

I hadn't had a cheesesteak from Ishkabibble's in a while, but I'm so glad I went back. The experience of ordering was exciting, especially on a busy Friday night. Watching the team work was impressive....they have the system down to a science, with great communication to keep orders moving quickly. The cheesesteak itself was delicious. I got mine with provolone, and it had a good amount of meat without being dry. My friend tried a few regular cheesesteaks and a chicken one, and they enjoyed them too. Taking it home and savoring every bite made it even better. a spot worth returning to although it can be kind of a wait.

When a local recommended this spot, I expected great things, especially when it came to their classic cheesesteak with provolone. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The flavors didn't quite hit the mark--the seasoning was lacking, and although I typically prefer cheese whiz, I wanted to see how they handled provolone. Sadly, it didn't live up to other cheesesteaks I've had. It felt like I was just eating meat and bread, with little depth of flavor. A bit more seasoning could've made all the difference. I dined alone and, while I did finish most of it (since I'm not one to waste food), I don't think I'll be returning. The restaurant itself wasn't particularly clean either, and although I can usually overlook that if the food is great, it wasn't the case here. The prices were reasonable, but that's about all the place had going for it. The fries were crispy, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend ordering them either. Maybe they were having an off day, but overall, the experience didn't live up to my expectations. On the bright side, the staff were very friendly, which was at least a positive takeaway. Still, I'd suggest checking out another place if you're in the area.

I've been to both of locations, and this is the bigger one that's closer to 5th. It's okay but not as good as the tiny one further down South Street. The staff was friendly and the food was OK. The bigger space was pretty helpful, especially if you have a larger group.

Oh my gosh. This is sandwich perfection. Did you know that Mother's Day was created by a woman's activist IN PHILLY?? Me either, but knowing that now makes me feel super clever about our new tradition of spending Mother's Day eating all the cheesesteaks. This was our second year doing this, and it was something we were looking forward to for weeks ahead of time. I'd seen a couple of YouTube videos of influencers and foodies eating at Ishkibble's, but they rarely get mentioned on the BEST Cheesesteaks in Philly top 10 and thats a darn shame. Ishkibble's is in my TOP TWO, up there with Delissandro's. We got the classic - whiz and grilled onions, and polished it off in record time. It was the best possible start to an all-day eating adventure. We also tried their "gremlin" drink, which is a grape lemonade. It's okay. I bet it would have been incredibly thirst quenching if it had been warm outside. The bathroom has a key, for customers only. It's a single room containing a giant trashcan. So that made getting my chair through the door and to the toilet a huge hokeypokey. Not my favorite dance to do with a full bladder. Plenty of seating inside the shop and service is super quick. That sandwich, though. SPECTACULAR. Don't sleep on Ishkibble's!

Dry chicken cheesesteaks. I visited Ishkabibble's II on a Sunday night, and it was about half full. This is a casual dining establishment where you order at the counter and are handed a number to associate with your order. The decor is reminiscent of the food court of the mall such that is clearly optimized for fast cleaning. I ordered chicken cheesesteak with provolone, ketchup, mayo, and onions. My sandwich was served piping hot, but the chicken was a bit dry and was hard to eat at times. When I was able to get a bite with all of the flavorings, it was pretty good, but that was uncommon. Overall, I would recommend visiting a different restaurant for your cheesesteak.

Just to walk on South street and notice that the doors are open and the smell of goodness is creeping into the neighborhood is and ming thing. Walking in to one of my favorite restaurants is something I always looks forward to even if I don't always have the opportunity to do so. I got the chicken cheesesteak one day and went back the next and got the Philly loaded with onions and peppers and mushrooms. Fantastic as always.

II is the best to me, while I'd noticed that if I ask for my protein to be chopped fine they will otherwise it's a little too chunky for my liking. I love this place have been going here for years and I always recommend to my folks if traveling. I am not from Philly, but I have frequented a lot of their subs and hoagies and hands down this place is it for cheesesteak and chicken cheese steaks. The DO NOT. Offer cheddar, only provolone American and wiz.

Their food was really good! Service was nice also! I ordered a Cheesesteak with fried onions with a vanilla milkshake no fries! My husband ordered a Chicken pizza steak with bacon on it, with fries and a fountain drink.. It was pricy! But it was really good! Theypack the cheesesteaks with lots of meat! ;) Our total came up to 52.00 but again it was good!

It's a cheesesteak. It was ok needed some seasoning IMO even though I asked for salt and pepper on it. I LOVED the onion rings and the Gremlin drink. The service was quick and pleasant. The place was clean enough. I would take a friend again if I was on South Street.

My boyfriend wanted me to try a real, delicious Philly cheesesteak. After some indecision on where to go, we went here. I left it up to him to decide on what to order, but told him I wanted onions & mushrooms (I'm a mushroom lover). This was a solid sandwich: delicious beef sliders and a chewy soft roll. The cheese melted perfectly in the sandwich. It made me want to try their chicken one next time. If you don't know where to go for your cheesesteak fix, you won't be disappointed by this Ishkabibble's.

Decide to try Ishabibble's II and have a steak. I was very disappointed in the quality of the beef. It was fatty and lacked taste. My daughter had a chicken cheese steak and enjoyed it. I will stick to chicken next time. Philly-Albany Connection.

I was visiting Pennsylvania again for business. Our team enjoyed it so much that we decided to get it again. This time, we tried their other location. This location is much bigger. They have plenty of seating. I didn't see pictures on the wall of celebrities. I was impressed again with the cheesesteaks. I ordered a cheesesteak with whizz, provolone, and sweet peppers. I must say it was delicious. The portion size was huge. I learned from my last visit not to get a side. The sandwich alone is enough for a person with a great appetite. The service was extraordinary. They took our oder and quickly prepared it. Then they brought it to our table.

I had never been here before and only stopped in because it was open late and I am SO glad I did. The chicken in the steak was excellent! It tasted like actual chicken and wasn't super chopped up. Lot of meat in my sandwich - which I love! I got a chicken cheesesteak with fried onions peppers and a side of fries with cheese. It was all very good. Fries were made fresh very crisp - not soggy. Plenty of seating inside as well. Will definitely be going back!

I went to Philly to visit my friends and we decided to do a Philly Cheesesteak tour. We walked 5 miles and tested out 7 different cheesesteaks and Ishkabibbles was my top 2 cheesesteak! I was impressed how quickly our cheesesteak was available and it was so good. We ordered our with whiz, peppers and onions. I enjoyed how every bite was nice and cheesy and it wasn't greasy at all. I would definitely come back to order a cheesesteak again if I'm in the area!

Stopped at Ishkabibble's"s for a cheesesteak , cheeseburger, and cheese fries. Totaled $29. It was super busy. Many people sitting down eating and people waiting for orders. Everything was delicious!!! A debate in philly is who has the best cheesesteak. I will say this location is definitely a contender.

As recommended by a friend, we came here and ordered the classic cheesesteak (with provolone). To be honest, I thought the flavors fell a little flat. Though I prefer cheese whizz, I wanted to see what this place can do with provolone, and unfortunately, it was not as good as the others I've had. I felt like there was not much flavor besides meat and bread. I think it might need a little bit more seasoning, even just some basic salt. Luckily, I had 2 other people to share this with - otherwise I might not have been able to finish it myself. The restaurant itself also didn't seem that clean. I normally can forgive some lack of sanitation if the food was good. However, this was not the case with this. I probably would not come back here again. I definitely recommend trying another place. 2/5 stars.

Always heard good things., but I'm guessing I was too late. Must get a lot of kids. It really reminded me of cafeteria style food. Over $30 for two sandwiches and onion rings. pretty stingy with condiments and normal sides like pickles. They hit you up for a despite no table service and no refills on fountain drinks, it's a $2 extra charge. Won't be at the top of my list to go back.

This restaurant is a must visit in Philadelphia for the best Philly cheesesteak. The food and the service were amazing and what an experience.

Weird name, damn good cheese steaks! Fries were good! Price was a bit high but I did enjoy it.

Last year or the year before I went to PA and give a shot at " The Two Greats". You know which one I'm talking about. I'm sure I wrote a review about one of them. That wasn't "THE" reason I went to PA. And I knew they were probably gimmicks from the start. If Phil's BBQ taught me anything the line is *that* long, the food is probably not *that* good. Though this time I actually asked some folks about where else to get a cheesesteak. This was the place. This was the place! I was with a group of folks, so some of the options happened. Onions and whiz. My dad got onions, mushrooms, and provolone. That one was damn good too. I should have gotten the mushroom addition. I don't know why I didn't. That was the way. It was really good. Not TOO greasy but has enough grease to let you know it's seen some things, and been some places. If I'm not on a health kick that week (which I never have been), then a bit of grease is a necessity. My aunt got some onion rings, because she's a vegetarian. They were damn good too. I can't say anything here bummed me out. My girlfriend only ate half of her sando, so we saved it and microwaved it 2 days later. Still dam Remember, fat is flavor, and flavor is your friend.

Was OK Very large portions and food was of great quality. One cheesesteak and order of fries is more than enough for two people. Just wish the chicken cheesesteak was a little more flavorful. Next time I'll try a traditional cheesesteak

Quick and easy ordering at the window. The cashier was extremely polite. Cheesesteak was good a little dry but I think extra cheese would have solved the problem. No frills no extra stuff just basic Philly cheesesteak. Roll was fresh and delicious

This came up on our suggested list to Philly. You can not be in Philly and not get a cheesesteak. I also got to try Genos and this place definitely beats Geno's in my opinion.

By far my favorite! Great service, always fresh, and tasty. We have tried our fair share of cheesesteaks in Philly and we undoubtedly always come back to this place! Delicious! Try the gremlin drink for the sugar rush! It was worth it.

Had the chicken Philly with provolone and onion! Came as a recommendation from the Uber driver. The bread was excellent but i found the chicken to be very dry unfortunately. Found a better sandwich later that day!

This was just a solidly bad choice. We ordered from here via DoorDash because it was close by, had high ratings on DoorDash and I thought, you can't mess up a cheesesteak in the city of brotherly love! We were borderline starving too so we would have been complimentary to almost anything. What a let down! We ordered a cheesesteak with onions and provolone cheese. The steak itself was so dry! I could barely find or taste the provolone! I don't know what happened with the fries. They were still slightly warm when we got them but they were chewy! If I would have come to Yelp first, I would have read that the original location is better and should have ordered from there instead.

This is based on the cheesesteak only. The best of the 4 places we tried. Tender meat, delicious cheese, and sweet peppers. Delicious. Only place we wanted to get a second cheesesteak. Lots of tables/booths

A Philly native recommended this place as the spot to have an authentic and delicious Philly cheesesteak. What else is awesome about this place aside from the fun name? The food and the prices! For $13 you get a hoagie loaded. They have the basic sandwich and you can choose reg cheese or cheese whiz. You can also add other toppings like onions, peppers, fresh mushrooms, etc. The fries are really good too. Get them with cheese! It is a humble little spot and it was recommended we go during the day to avoid the dodgeyness of the neighborhood after dark. Great service and eats. Also not far from the Magical Garden, which is a must see.

Came here Saturday night because I had to get some Philly cheesesteaks while I was in town. Granted, I got the chicken "cheesesteak" since it was apparently what this place was known for. It was alright, but seemed to be just chicken and mayo .. no cheese? Not sure if I'm missing something. It was a decent size, though, so it will fill you up. Also got a side of fries which was actually gigantic .. though no salt or seasoning. I also tried their Gremlin drink, which is 1/2 grape juice 1/2 lemonade. Honestly, a pretty good combination, if not a little tangy. Overall, eh. It's a pretty fast-paced and crowded chain so not very high expectations. It's alright and it's not like the food is bad, per se. Since it's so crowded, expect orders to get mixed up, forgotten, or just take a VERY long time -- but it comes with the territory. The menu is also gigantic so definitely take some time to skim it before you go.

We spent the day in Philly on our way home last week. We've never been to Philly before, and cheesesteaks are by far our favorite sandwich. We looked up the best rated on the internet and started with what looked the best. This one wasn't a planned trip; this place kind of blends in with the sea of cheesesteaks that saturate the area. We were actually planning on going to Dalessandro's, but the hour line from Jim's wore me down completely, and this place was one of three other cheesesteak spots between Jim's and my car. Before I even entered the place, I scouted out the line. I was not up for much of a wait, and there appeared to be no line. After placing my order and waiting maybe 15 minutes, I came to realize there were people hanging out at tables with order tags in their hands long before I had arrived. It was 3 PM and we had already eaten 3 cheesesteaks and had one from Jim's in hand. At this point, you could probably smell it on me that my heart was just shoving cheese wiz through my veins. So when they recommended the chicken philly, I was all about it. We loved the bread, but inside it was more or less unseasoned chicken with onions and peppers. The provolone was a good match, the wiz didn't seem like the right choice. However, the wiz may be the only thing that would have made it unique. I doused mine with vinaigrette and my girlfriend used garlic chili sauce on hers. I kind of regret not ordering a regular cheesesteak to compare it with the others we tried, but this was a point of pride for the restaurant. I don't have evidence to the contrary, but it struck me funny that Ishkabibbles II was the first place to wiz on a chicken fajita sub in 1979. This place would probably kill in Syracuse, NY where I'm from. But smack dab in the middle of South Street District, the only thing that really stands out is their name. No major complaints, just pretty underwhelmed by the spot.

Went to this place based on the recommendation of a friend that lived in the area. I would have never thought this place had great cheese stakes based on the name, but they did! We went to 4 different places to get cheese stakes on our trip and Ishkabibble's was the best! Flavors and seasoning was on point and it didn't get soggy like some other cheese stak

19/30. Fries are banging. One of the better steaks in the city. Nothing outside of the fries truly wowed me though

While on the plane to Philly I had a chance to ask a few locals about the best place to get a cheesesteak. Every single one of them recommended this place. We stopped in before my graduation at Temple university. I ordered the Philly with cheese whiz, my son ordered the Philly with provolone and my daughters ordered cheese fries. The Phillies were both outstanding. Both with their unique flavors with the different cheese but the whiz definitely took the top spot. The meat was super tender and easy to eat as well. The place was bustling with locals too. I can check it off my bucket list to have eaten a cheesesteak in Philly! I didn't get a pic before we started eating only during the after math.

BUYER BEWARE! Ordered a chicken cheesesteak from here tonight with fried onions and got the absolute worst chicken cheesesteak I've ever had. Their chicken is not chicken steak but HUGE chunks of unflavored unmarinated grilled chicken slopped on a chewy old roll with very little cheese on the roll and not the actual meat. I don't waste food, I REALLY don't, but this was immediately spit out and thrown in the garbage. I ended up ordering another sandwich from a place down the road (which means I've spent over $25 for one meal). Please, for the love of God, don't order a chicken cheesesteak from this place. I am absolutely livid. See pics for reference.

Always delicious! During this pandemic is the best time to go if you can. No lines on a Saturday afternoon! I get the steak with, American cheese, peppers and onions! I've had it with provolone but don't recommend it. Delicious subs. My second favorite in Philly.

One of the best cheesesteaks. Okay prices, bunch of other stuff available on their menu too. Lots of seating inside too.

Crazy how different two locations from the same business can be, especially when they are just a couple of blocks each other. While the original may be short on dining space the food is remarkably better there. We came to Ishkabibbles II expecting the same quality but with room to sit. The order was wrong and they charged us a $1 for a small serving of iceburg lettuce. Dry, stale sub roll, small portion of meat and cheese, resembled more of a bad school lunch. I would've overlooked the dirtiness of this place but with poor food quality it was easy to see what a mess this place is. I'll go back to eating from the back of my truck if and when I hit up the other location.

I am shocked ishkabibbles II Has a 3.5 star rating. We heard that this was the best place in philly. There are two ishkabibbles: 1 and 2. Both on south st. I really think users are just being lazy/dumb and writing reviews for the wrong one etc. We went to ishkabibbles TWO (2) (II) on the corner of 6th and south st. We read specifically to go to 2 NOT 1 lol. Not sure if it's same ownership. But we loved it here. Very very fast and laid back spot. By laid back I mean it's the type of place you sit down at in sweaty gym clothes if you want. Very classic Philly cheesesteak joint. No frills. We got the plain cheesesteak (American, onion, ketchup) and the south st one (provolone, spinach, peppers, added onion). Fries (incredible af) and a bassets chocolate shake. They also offer bassets ice cream (drooling). Everything was fantastic. My boyfriend said it's the best cheesesteak he's ever had by FAR. Like a lot. A new favorite for us. As far as price (I'm seeing a lot of complaints): get a reality check people. Inflation is at like 10% right now and this is philadlephia. 6th largest major city in the USA. Center city. If you want cheap, go to the middle of nowhere and hop in your time machine and go back to 2005. Get a grip lol. Mine was $26 for a huge cheesesteak, large fry, and big Bassets Milk shake. Emphasis on bassets; it's not turkey hill Wawa. Prices suck but this is the world we're living in and it's been this way for yeaarsss. Thanks for fantastic service and quality product. The staff was so so sweet and kind. What a great spot.

Seriously mediocre cheesesteaks. Meat was not plentiful and was dry. Cheese was minimal. Flavor was seriously bland. For someone who grew up in Philly and went here because Jim's is temporarily closed, I was really disappointed. Fries were delicious. Staff was nice. Place was relatively clean. But the heart of the meal was a real letdown.

I was at Ishkabibble's 1 about 1 10 years ago. It was great. Just returned and visited Ishka 2 and it was not the same experience. First of all, $24 was overpriced for a provolone cheesesteak with onions, small fries, onion rings and a large Diet Coke. If the quality was there, it might have been acceptable. But this place has become just as much as a tourist trap as Pat's or Geno's. And frankly, it's a dump even for a tourist trap. They said these won an award? They're going for a McDonald's style fry. They failed. And mine were cold. The onion rings were under fried and had a softness between the onion and the shell. They said these won an award? For what? Lowest temperature at serving? They're going for a McDonald's style fry. They failed. And mine were cold. And half the cheesesteak was missing the cheese. Did I complain? No. When everything but the Diet Coke has something wrong with it, it's apparent they don't really care. I would not return.

While shopping on the other side of the city with favorite daughter and her friend from DC, we decided to give her friend the Philly treatment by treating her to a cheese steak. Out of all the cheese steaks in the city we went with Ishkabibble's. We'd had been shopping and didn't want to move our car to drive to South Street which parking can be a bear so we took an Uber instead. Ishkabibble's is nothing fancy but the cheese steaks are the bomb. They offer more than just streaks but why get anything else but maybe some fries. Lol We ordered chicken and regular cheese steaks with fries and a couple bottles of water. The meat was chopped up on a nice large soft roll, which is what I like. The roll is what makes it even more special. The service was quick and polite. The restaurant is a dive but clean enough to eat in. Would come here again in a heartbeat.

With so many places for cheesesteaks in Philly, my husband and I decided to check out Ishkabibble's. This location can be found on a corner, two doors down from Frozen Rolled Ice Cream. There is some limited street parking available (but you have to pay). Ishkabibble's is a hole in the wall, no frills eatery. No hipsters here (thank goodness). They pride themselves with creating the chicken cheesesteak. They are also known for their gremlin drink which is a mix of grape soda and lemonade. There is a walk up order window from the street but there is also limited counter seating inside. With the name, Ishkabible, it is Yiddish saying that roughly translates, "Do I look like I care?" (gotta love that). My husband and I took an Uber ride share here. Our driver and also another passenger that was also a local had spoke so highly about the chicken cheesesteaks at Ishkabibble's and also did tell us that you can ask them to chop the chicken so that it is easier to eat. A great tip to know. The chicken used is chicken tenders so it just may be easier to eat chopped. So we arrived on a Tuesday evening, around 6:45 pm. We were acknowledged when we came in and sat down with a view of the grill top. We ended up getting: *Please note that this place is CASH ONLY Chicken Cheesesteak with American Cheese, $10.50 (tax included)- Since we asked for the chicken to be chopped, we saw the employee really hitting the metal spatulas hard to really chop it up. It was a fun show to watch and the smell filled the room and just made us more excited as we waited. In less than 5 minutes, our food was ready and boy was it delicious. The chicken, the onions, the cheese! Although I know most may prefer their sandwich made with beef (and they have that here too), I really like the variety with the chicken and think it made for a tasty sandwich. With the size of these cheesesteaks that all of these eateries serve, it is plenty for the 2 of us to share. As you can see from my photo, there was plenty of chicken. I was definitely satisfied with my half sandwich and can see why Ishkabibble's is known to be within the top 10 best cheesesteaks in Philly. Please note that there is a tiny unisex restroom down the hall that customers can use in case you need it (please wash your hands before and after eating).
