Oh Brother Philly

A great spot for a menu variety. This was my first time trying a Philly cheese steak, and I asked myself, "Why did I wait so long?!" The food was hot and fresh, not to mention delicious. The service was fast and friendly, and portion sizes were plentiful. The restaurant was also clean and spacious.

Nestled in the tourist trap part of old city, bustling with mediocre steaks left and right, Oh Brother is a bit of an underrated gem. Seeded Coop for $12, its not the gut buster with so much meat and calories that it could kill a bear, just a good quality/ratio with a light and almost buttery roll. Should you drive an hr and a half just to try it? Probably not. Does this place deserve more attention as a well balanced quality steak? 100%

Visitor Centre recommended this place for dinner and did not disappoint for our first ever Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich! Friendly staff, quick service, and fresh food! Cooper Sharp Cheese was a great choice and the fries had flavour! Would definitely come back again!

Super cool small venue great Philly Cheesesteaks. They are very filling. I would recommend to anyone with a taste for a cheesesteak. I’m sure the burgers and sandwiches are just as good. The atmosphere is very relaxing with background music playing.

I recently dined at Oh Brother Philly in Philadelphia, PA, and found the experience to be quite average overall. The ambiance was casual and relaxed, and the restaurant was clean. We had no wait upon arrival, and the service was prompt and friendly. Our food, however, took about 10 minutes to arrive, which was fine since we managed to beat the rush. I ordered the Seeded Coop, swapping out the cheese for pepper jack, while my wife opted for the hamburger. Unfortunately, the food was just okay—not bad, but nothing memorable. Given the reputation of Philly’s food scene, I was expecting a bit more. While the service was great, I’d likely choose a different spot the next time I'm in the area.

Marvelous place to get great Philly cheese steaks. I recommend the whizz with onion; it’s incredibly great in taste and juicy. Really good service as well, and prices are really fair to what they serve. Good luck, and keep on with the great job here!

As a person with gluten intolerance, I have not been able to enjoy foods like a Philly cheesesteak for a long time. Until today. The Oh Brother steak with whiz on a gluten free roll was amazing. Cyndi (the cashier) was very helpful and conscientious about helping make sure I ordered food I could eat. The food came out of the kitchen quickly despite the restaurant being busy. The manager was friendly and welcoming. And the cheesesteak was DELICIOUS! I will definitely be eating there the next time I am in Philly.

I don’t come down to Philadelphia that often, but when I do I love to pick myself up a cheesesteak sandwich. The lady at the register recommend the Shroom Truffle to me and wow!! Delicious! The sandwich was stuffed with ribeye steak ( more than other well known restaurants) everything was cooked fresh when ordered. The staff were super friendly, and the place was clean. Id definitely recommend if you’re looking for quality. 💯 Thank you again

The food has been superb . ​​​​I can't wait to try a burger , but I only eat y'all cheesteaks! Other places are not even appealing. Thanks for bringing the qu​ality back into our most famous Philly Cheesteak. ​​​​

This was my FIRST stop for cheesesteaks in PHILLY since I was staying at a Hostel nearby and I love it!! I didn't get the traditional cheesesteaks, I got their French onions cheesesteaks and their Garlic Parmesan fries and they were both Amazing!!! When they brought me the food, I could smell the deliciousness coming from the garlic fries, smells like heaven. The buns was nice and soft and not chewy, love the onions and the shredded meat make the whole sandwich more juicy and not dry. I love the interior, they have plenty of seating table, which is why I choose this place over the nearby places cuz they don't have a large dinning area as this one. I love this place so much that I went back the next day to try their Mac N Cheese Heaven Burger!! It was another amazing masterpiece crafted by the pros. I don't think I need to visit Genos and Pats cuz I heard people told me they are now a tourists trap. But I will give them a try, i doubt they will be better than Oh Brothers.

- Not the best cheesesteak that i've had, not cheesy enough for me - The sweet potato fries were a bit soft and soggy - Service was amazing, everyone was very friendly - You order at the counter and they'll bring the food to you - Lots of seating inside and a restroom at the back

Oh Brother Philly is a little more than just a cheesesteak spot. They serve up burgers, chicken sandwiches, fried Oreos, shakes, and more. But I came for the cheesesteak. So that's what ordered. Cheesesteak with onions and cooper sharp: they leave the steak in solid pieces and melt the cheese nicely onto the steak. The first couple bites are unfortunately all bread but towards the middle the cheesesteak really started to hit its stride with delicious ribeye. My only complaint is the Italian roll they use is slightly too big for the amount of steak. Still a solid cheesesteak. Mac n Cheese: I felt the same about this dish. First couple bites and I was slightly disappointed.. But it started to hit its stride after the third bite and I enjoyed it. Overall a solid choice for cheesesteak and other food. I love the piece of art they have on the wall of The Last Cheesesteak.

I had a cheesesteak, my hubby had a jalapeño burger, and our daughter had chicken and fries with a Cookie Monster shake. It was ok. I am still waiting to be "wowed" by a Philly cheesesteak in this town. Chicken looked overdone and my daughter usually finishes her chicken but not this time. Fries were good and the shake was ok, but I've had better. Service was ok. You order and then they bring the food to your table but that's it. Very over priced. We spent over $60 for this and in Pittsburgh, this meal is half this price or less.

I really enjoyed this restaurant because it was easy to get to from our Marriott hotel and that we did not have to wait or have reservations. It's a casual restaurant and popular with tourists. The wiz wit was good, but I still prefer the old Tony Luke's cheesesteaks. The fries were very tasty. The only ding I have against this place is that the air conditioner was not working while we visited. I understand it was during a heatwave, but maybe they could have offered us complimentary drinks or bring in more fans. It was an absolute sweatshop here back in August 2024. But they offered a promotion on the Yelp app if you check in.

Great spot near the water in Philly. The decor was super Philly niche and ordering was easy. My son gave kudos to the staff for treating him kindly as a first time orderer. He also enjoyed the burger while the rest of my group devoured cheesesteaks and fries. I'd opt for the steak fries over the parm fries. I wish there was a little more seating and proactive cleaning of tables but I assume it's hard to stay on top of with the diner turnover. It would be cool if they could sell some alcoholic bevs BUT all and all a great experience.

If you're in Philly, Oh Brother is a must-try for the iconic Philly cheesesteak! I had to see what all the hype was about, and it definitely didn't disappoint. They offer a great variety of Philly steak sandwiches along with other delicious options like burgers. The cheesesteak was fresh, flavorful, and hit all the right notes. We also got the truffle fries, which were a perfect side--crispy and packed with flavor. The staff was incredibly helpful, especially when I was undecided on what to order, and made some great suggestions. The restaurant itself was clean, well-kept, and had a nice vibe. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area!

I had no idea what great food was available at this tasty little spot on Temples campus. Clean restaurant. Fast service. Delicious burgers and the truffle fries were wonderful. Casual eating. I did think the burgers were a little pricy. But other than that, this was a fantastic place to eat on Saturday evening.

I recently dined at Oh Brother Philly in Philadelphia, PA, and found the experience to be quite average overall. The ambiance was casual and relaxed, and the restaurant was clean.

I got the truffle cheese steak and it was average at best, the amount of cheese was very little and it wasn't even mixed properly with steak, just stuffed down the bread. Sweet potato fries were pretty average too, not crispy at all just soggy. Service was quick and decent, but with the price of $20 for the cheese steak of this quality I will take my business elsewhere next time.

The sandwich was good but in my opinion it was a tad dry. I was also confused as to why I was getting charged for regular toppings for a Philly cheesesteak. However the lady at the cashier was incredibly nice and helpful when picking which meal to order

Price: (4/5) Prices are average for the area. Food: (4/5) I really enjoyed my cheesesteaks. I thought the meat was tender and there was enough cheese. I do which there was a little more flavor in the meat, but this in the top picks for me for cheesesteaks. We got ours cut in thirds but you can get the normal halves. Service: (5/5) You can order ahead and food comes out fast.

This place was recommended to my family by our Airbnb host because we were in search for the a really good cheesesteak. We did extensive research and had a list of other popular restaurants, but figured it would be best to ask a local, and as a result we went to Oh Brother he only expectation we had was that we wanted to eat a really good authentic cheesesteak. At Oh Brother The customer service was incredible. You could tell that every staff member plays an important part in why they have a steady crowd. There was a line, but again, because the staff was great it went by quickly. I ordered a regular cheesesteak with American cheese, onions, and peppers. I also got a fountain beverage and a large order of fries. My total was around 25 dollars. The food came out fairly quick in my opinion given how busy they were and the staff took it to our table. I mean, I have nothing fair to compare this cheesesteak to, but it was incredible. The bread was so fresh, lightly toasted, but still soft. There was a perfect cheese to meet ratio, and enough peppers and onions. I usually like to split sandwiches in half to save for later but I ate it in it's entirety. The fries were perfectly crisp and soft, but I do suggest getting a small if you don't plan to share. Everything was great and I am happy with my experience at Oh Brother. I would recommend it over and over to anyone curious about authentic cheesesteaks.

Oh boy, or should I say oh Brother?! I think we might actually have found something here. In this city who's very much synonymous with the beloved cheesesteak, I have seldom found one that I've felt was worth going back to. After trying maybe close to a dozen of the highest rated spots over the years, I've never really been impressed. Until now.... Oh Brother is really good, period. Huge soft yet crispy roll, generous well seasoned meat, melty whiz. It sounds simple, but others just don't get it right. In a sea of cheesesteak offerings, oh brother might just be the best. With that being said, the truffle fries are simply phenomenal. Extra crispy, drizzled with truffle oil, and absolutely loaded with Parmesan cheese. This even supplanted the cheesesteak on the satisfaction meter. Oh Brother is top tier. You'd be hard pressed to find a better Philly in the city. If you do, please do tell!

While visiting home, I did have a take out order from Oh brother Philly and when I say it was one of the best steaks, I've had it was delicious. The meat quality was amazing. The flavor was good. The quantity was perfect. Also, the garlic truffle fries are something special. You should definitely try it if given the opportunity!!!

Tasty!Tasty!Tasty! A local recommended that we get cheesesteaks from Oh brother. This was the best cheesesteak I have ever had. I went with a group of 10 and all 10 people said this was the best they have ever had. Service was quick and the workers were extremely kind. There is seating indoor and outdoor. You need to eat here if you are in Philly. Milkshakes, Burgers, fries and cheesesteaks

We were in Philly for a day and ofcourse our #1 want was to try a Philly cheesesteak!! After researching I narrowed it down to 3 locations, "oh brother" being one of them. while walking around Philly, we asked locals for their suggestions and everyone said "oh brother" soooooo here we go with our thoughts ! Ambiance was okay, but it was REALLY hot in there .. Service, you go to the counter and place your order so you don't really get the sit down restaurant experience (which is completely fine, I'm simply adding that so you know what to expect) & now the food . We loved it , we cannot wait to go back to try more things cause they have other Philly cheesesteak options ! Definitely suggest you to make this a stop while in Philly !

The food was amazing And they have unique menu options . The mac & cheese burger with the mac & cheese bun fell apart, but it still tasted really good and cheesesteak is amazing & the peanut butter and jelly milkshake was spot on We went to the location in Northeast Philadelphia since it doesn't show that option or location on the map yet.

Was in the area on a guys trip by Penn's landing and stopped by for a quick bite to eat. I ordered the seeded coop with a side of fries and a canned iced tea. Service was quick and we managed to grab a table as it was starting to get filled up (1pm ish). Cheesesteak came out as described and got along with the fries. Overall it was a decent cheesesteak but nothing spectacular.

I visited the NE Philly Oh Brother. By far one of the worst cheesesteaks I've eaten. Overpriced, overcooked garbage. Roll was stale, onions barely cooked, overly salted, meat tasted like jerky, dry and very gristly. Pass on this spot.

I was in town for wrestlemania and this was the last place I ate. Up to this point for hadn't gone great, but this was a refreshing meal from the last few days. I finally got a really good cheesesteak! It was very good as we're the fried pickles. The chicken sandwich was tasty too. The people that work here are really nice too which is refreshing. The only negative is the limited seating. It's a small place. But at least it's in a good area and very close to the liberty Bell area.

This was suggested to me from a few locals after I told them I wanted an authentic non-touristy cheese steak before I headed back to S. CA. This did not disappoint. The seeded bread and added sweet peppers with the Cooper's sharp cheese was what made the difference, not to mention the shaved ribeye and fried onions. The fries were also outstanding. I'm glad that I was able to sign this off of my small foodie bucket list.

Got beefsteak: flavorful without being greasy. Very beefy and delicious. I was totally surprised with the onion rings: delicious & crunchy without grease. Excellent and patient service. The restaurant has plenty of space and various modern celebrities on a mural. Fun rests.

Great cheesesteaks, burgers, onion rings, pick up orders ready on time, friendly staff, recommended.

First stop a Philly in Philly! This place was a vibe with great authentic Philly food. I went to this local Philly restaurant with family. I ordered a regular Philly while my family ordered an A-1 Philly and an avocado burger. Once your order is placed they will bring the food right out to you. Our order came out hot and ready to eat. I was so pleased with my decision of getting a regular Philly. It did not disappoint one bit. The portions were huge. My family enjoyed their meals, but my brother regretted not getting the Philly. The sides we had were cooked to perfection fried pickles and crispy sweet potato fries. I without a doubt would return to Oh Brother Philly.

Food was amazing! Ambience great! Service/customer service? Buyer beware If ordering buy one get one free on DoorDash app! You need to "make sure it shows 2, or you don't get free...we having problem with the app" but no offer or discount. Bad business! Won't be back, plenty of other places for great cheesesteaks.

We ordered delivery from Oh Brother this weekend. We had the seeded coop, spicy chicken sandwich, and truffle parm fries. The food was done pretty quickly after we ordered it (lunch time). The seeded coop was really tasty, as was the spicy chicken. We enjoyed both sandwiches a lot and would give those alone 5 stars. However, the fries were just okay and the sauce they came with was basically just onion mayo (not in a good way). It was just too thick and not very tasty. That's why we gave a 4 star review this time, maybe next time we will try something else and can increase the starts :)

Can't come to Philadelphia without indulging in an iconic Philly Cheesesteak. We came to this spot late night around 2am. I ordered the steak with grilled onions and cheese whiz. The best part of the sandwich was definitely the ribeye. It was cooked absolutely correctly. Each bite effortlessly melted with perfectly tender flavor of beef. This is exactly how a steak could be cooked for a sandwich. The cheese whiz however was what caused the downfall of the sandwich. It was extremely salty. Opting for a slice cheese would've been my next option if I ever came back to this place. Great sandwich, however the cheese whiz ruined what could've been a perfect late night sandwich.

I recently visited Phila and based on reviews, we brought the kids to "Oh Brother". The place did not disappoint!!! The staff were courteous, prices were decent and the food was phenomenal. Those sandwiches were monsters. We all had a different Philly cheesteak with one large fry and milkshakes. And We were stuffed. We'll definitely recommend this place.

Service was excellent and cheesesteaks were really good....definitely recommend to hit this spot when you're in Philly!

Ordered a cheesesteak with fried onions, peppers and whiz. Bang for your buck. Very meaty and cheesy! The roll was a little too crunchy for my taste. Plenty of seating. Would definitely go back the next time I'm in town. They make a very good cheesesteak!

Decent place for burgers and cheesesteaks in Philly. We visited Oh Brother on Market Street on a Friday afternoon, and it was busy, but there were tables available. Oh Brother Philly is a casual restaurant where you order at the counter. I ordered the shroom truffle burger, sweet potato fries, and ate about half of my wife's cheesesteak. The shroom truffle burger had a weak truffle flavor and a stingy portion of sauce. The burger was juicy, but not the most exciting flavor. The cheesesteak was decent but nothing to write home about. The sweet potato fries were a bit worse than what I prefer and lacked a strong flavor. Overall, Oh Brother Philly is a decent place for cheesesteaks and burgers, but there are better options in Philly.

We went tonight and the meal was amazing! Joey was so helpful and friendly! We caught him coming in as we were walking by early in the evening and chatted with us about choices. When we came back, he remembered us and walked us thru menu choices and gave suggestions. We had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, fries and a milkshake. He even split things so it was easy for us to share. Great food and such amazing service!

Great food, this food was excellent because the cheeseburger melted in my mouth. This service was so amazing the cashier was so nice and helped me out as a first timer. This was awesome because it's Philly and there were nice lighting and great overall ambiance with the wood interior.

We got the A1 sandwich. We ordered it without the A1 because it had all the other toppings we wanted on the cheese steak but it came out dry. The flavor was good. The bread was toasted perfectly but for sure we were missing some sauce on the sandwich. The place was buzzing when we got there but the line moved quickly, this was a plus. The place was clean and it had sub shop feel to it.

We ordered late night delivery on a weekend. Service was prompt, and the pizza was AMAZING. Seriously. Perfect crust, perfect toppings. I was so surprised but so grateful!

Sandwich was great but honestly the fries stole the show. Definitely a spot I'd recommend and will return to.

I love mushrooms and love truffle even more! So I had my husband order me the Shroom Truffle cheesesteak and it did not disappoint! The crunch fried onions on top were perfect complement to my soft cheesesteak. I typically am meh with cheesesteak but we had to try one in Philly before we left town. This was a great one to try! I added a little hot sauce to my sandwich, and it was golden! It was moist, and the steak wasn't tough. We were right before the dinner crowd so we got to enjoy a little quiet time. I think the restaurant is going through some renovation so the seating was limited, but we didn't have any problem grabbing a table.

I was in the city to catch a show at the temple center 1 block away but me and the wife were hungry so we stopped by this place for a quick bite to eat. I knew it was gonna be an awesome experience when I asked the cashier if she suggested anything and she lit up. She went on to explain how the food was so good and she eats there all the time. She gave the best recommendations and I really wished I remembered her name but I remember she was very tall with braces and was the manager. The only negative was that I didn't get a milk shake and that's on me . This place was fire and the staff was really friendly.

Was in the vicinity of Oh Brother Philly, and a group of us tried it out. You walk in, place your order at the counter, wait for them to call you (in the meantime, find a place to sit), and they either call you when your order is finished or bring you your food. Since I love mac & cheese, I went for their "mac & cheese heaven" burger. Boy, oh boy, was this fun to eat lol! It was a good and tasty burger. The fries were alright too! Would definitely grab food from Oh Brother Philly if ever in the area again.

I'll be honest, by the time I walked in I was incredibly hungry that everything looked good! Two locations: one at Temple and one in Old City. I liked the art on the wall; there's a great mural of iconic Philadelphians on the wall (Kobe, Ben Franklin, Rocky, etc) We had the liberty burger and the jalepenoguac burger with sweet potato fries. I've never met a sweet potato fry I didn't like and this is no exception, though I was surprised it didn't have any salt on it. Quick counter service with a handful of indoor and outdoor tables. We had to wait a few minutes to grab a seat but things rotate quickly due to the style of dining. Bathroom clean. For the pretzel burger, it was a nice idea but very messy and hard to eat. I was expecting more flavor with so many ingredients. I would definitely go here again, but probably would order something different. I'd be intrigued to see what kind of special milkshake flavor they have next time (currently banana pudding shake)

This our late night spot in old city! We choose something different every time - sometimes it's pizza, sometimes it's a cheesesteak. It hits every time!

So my son always gets his cheesesteaks from here and I said one day I have to give them a try . Last Sunday we decided on cheesesteaks for dinner so the idea of going to Oh Brother was perfect! When I tell you that this sandwich was the bomb omg I wanted to order another one lol. Do yourself a favor , find parking grab a seat in this beautiful spot and enjoy all the deliciousness of their food .Oh I forgot to mention the beautiful decor

Food was decent but didn't wow us. We wanted the truffle shroom cheesesteak but unfortunately there was a limited menu in place since it was Memorial Day weekend. I wish they had posted that information on their socials since that was the one item we were really excited about.

We were visiting Philadelphia and wanted an authentic Philly Cheesesteak sandwich for a local establishment. The helpful lady at the Independence Visitor Center recommended this restaurant over any other touristy places. We're glad she did! I had the Philly Cheesesteak and it was awesome! My wife had the chicken tenders which were overcooked. This review is for the cheesesteak!

Yep, it's pretty darn good. Been working in old city for a bit now and decided to try a cheesesteak place. It didn't disappoint. Friendly staff within an old pub style place. This is a locals spot for sure. I had the cheesesteak with fried onions and mushrooms as well as cooper sharp cheese. Oh Brother was it good.

Excellent food! Fast service and great atmosphere all around! Waiters were super nice.

I ordered this through UberEats and I think the long delivery time didn't give me the full quality of the food. I am digging the cloth reusable delivery bag that was used to bring the order. Chili Lime Fries Excellent flavor. Fried perfectly fried to a golden crisp. The seasoning on it set it off. These were my favorite. Pumpkin Milkshake This was awesome! Great pumpkin taste. Graham cracker bits were just enough and not overpowering. Chicken Tenders These were pretty good. A little too much breading to chicken. Good flavor. French Onion Cheesesteak Sandwich Sandwich was a little dry, I think because it was delivery and they were trying to ensure it wouldn't be soggy. I would've loved more of the creamy horseradish, and the option to add other topping like lettuce, mayo, etc. The app didn't allow for that when ordering. Steak was delicious, chopped in long pieces. The hoagie could've been filled more though. Bread was good, slightly chewy. No seeds on the outside which I appreciated. More onions would have been nice too, since it is a "French onion".
