Larry's Steaks

This is my updated 2024 review: The customer service was laughably bad. No greeting, no eye contact, no smile. I gave my number and for a plain cheese steak no extras it was $15.50+ tax. It was light at best. The meat has a lot of gristle and the cheese tastes like something you buy in 50lb chunks from Costco. The bread is generic and somehow stale and too soft at the same time. The college that is literally next door was in full swing and it is very telling that during lunch not a single college student was in there. The decor looks musty and seems like it hasn’t been upgraded in two decades. The cooks are up and front but look like they are being held against their will. No one seems happy or even remotely passionate about their choice of career. I will NOT be going back.

Got a tuna hoagie from Larry’s it was HORRIBLE! Tuna tasted old and had no flavor. I’ve had turkey hoagies from here last year and everything seemed fresh at that time. My roll was hard and the produce wasn’t fresh. This’ll be my last hoagie from there. This is a well established business so my review won’t hurt their bottom line but I’m only doing this review because this hoagie was awful

Stop by here after the Roots festival. It was a line out the door. I got chicken Philly cheese and chicken tenders but I was given wings instead. The chicken Philly was a little dry. The wings were good.

The food is quite ok. Kobe often visited this place when he played games in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, this time, I want to talk about a different experience. Around 2010, I came here for lunch, and the owner, the Egyptian lady, was at the counter. After I picked up my meal, I realized she hadn’t given me a drink, so I went back to ask for it. She was helping someone else place an order, but I didn’t notice,when I just said, “Excuse me.” She immediately exploded, glaring at me and loudly scolding me in front of everyone waiting for their food and those nearby: “EXCUSE ME!!! I’m working with another person…” I was confused—did she shout at me because of something I said? Or was it because her husband cheated on her? Or was it because I’m a minority? Even after all these years, I still think about this incident sometimes. It’s one of the rare moments I felt truly offended. The service attitude was absolutely terrible, leaving a lasting bad impression forever.

I placed an order today two hoagies with the bread gutted. #26. When I got there the order wasn’t ready. I paid & waited. I watched the attendant make two hoagies without gutting the bread. Not knowing if they were for me, I didn’t say anything. They were in deed for me. When he handed me my order, I asked him if he gutted the bread, he lied to my face & said yes. Not wanting to have a liar remake my food, l left. You don’t have to worry about me returning again.

Stopped in from Branson, MO, and this food was delicious! The lady who took our order was very prompt, and she was helpful with figuring out what we should choose while ordering. The restaurant was clean, and they cooked everything to order right in front of you. It took less than 10 minutes to get our food. Great job to everyone at Larry's Steaks!! We loved our visit there!!

I've been wanting to try Larry's Steaks for a while and finally had the chance to go today (Monday). But unfortunately it says they open at 9am on Mondays and when I got there the doors were locked. I saw an employee cleaning the window from inside so I knocked on the window and asked what time they opened and he said 10:30am... So I guess they open at 10:30am everyday. Fortunately I have nothing to do this morning and early after noon so I'm gonna wait the hour.... I'm pretty sure it'll be worth the wait. Will post a follow up after I eat..... **Edit** I waited and like I expected, it was worth it. I got the 12" cheese steak. It was packed with meat. I'm a plain guy so I just got American cheese on it. It was very good!!! The only complaint I have, although not really a complaint because they have plenty of drinks to choose, is they don't have fountain soda. Cheese steaks are best with fountain soda... In my opinion haha!!

Have been hearing about this place for awhile and finally came in. Have your order checked before you leave. It will be messy but check it! I had ordered sweet peppers and didn’t get ANY in my order. They could had told they didn’t had any or if I wanted to replace it with something else or add more of something else. Even without the sweet peppers, the cheesestake was very good.
