Skinny Joey's Cheesesteaks

I usually don’t do reviews, but, I have to for this place! Skinny Joey’s was Hands down the best cheesesteak I ever had ( besides my own 😉 sorry, Joey ) I was in Haddonfield, NJ today with my son for an AJ Brown youth training camp, we were hungry after being there for 4 hours, Skinny Joey’s is only 20 mins away so we stopped there! We doubled the block for parking but eventually found a spot! I thought they might be super busy due to the Phils having a game that evening ( Friday afternoon around 3:15pm) No, we waited in line for 10 mins, placed our order, mind you the staff was very friendly, smiling, chatting asking questions to make sure they got our order perfect! I moved to the sides and drink line, placed my order with ease! My cheese fries came out first and they were so damn hot (fresh, made to order) I almost couldn’t hold the container lol but fresh is best, 5 mins later my cheese steak came out piping hot and fresh as well! This place is super clean, the food was excellent, the atmosphere and vibe was 100% just right! My 11 year old son devoured his cheese fries (super crispy, just the right amount of salt, covered in cheese) and cheesesteak in a matter of minutes.. he kept thanking me for bringing him there cause the food was so good! I couldn’t agree more! My cheesesteak ( ribeye cheesesteak, seeded roll, cooper sharp, with friend onions! ) 👌👌👌👌 we’ll be back!!

I have been here a few times now yo make sure is living up to the hype and Philadelphia standards.... and they continue to blow me away. The sandwiches are always made fresh and are PACKED! I have gotten the cheesesteak, roast pork & cheese fries. Trust you won't be disappointed!!! I even got my family hooked on them and they're born & raised in SP.

I just moved from Philly to FL and miss my northern food. I just left happy and full. Missed Joey though, would love to meet him. If in Philly stop on by, he serves the home crowd. You will not be disappointed with the service or quality of food. Joey's beats the others by a mile which I never thought could happen. Stop on by as they will make you an offer you can't refuse. Trust this northern Italian. Lil Snuff was there and very cool to chat and take a pic. They also sell merchandise like shirts and hats etc.

Definitely a good jawn! Had every cheese steak in town I can honestly say they make the cheese steak how you want! Great service! Love the people! Little pricey but for the quality I would recommend! Also right down the street from Philly sports ! I mean you can’t beat it with a bat! Also make sure you find parking on the back streets or walk from the sports complex! I got the cheesesteak fried onions Cooper sharp seeded roll. Also they do have bathrooms and a nice outside eating.

Ain’t no way I could eat here and be skinny. I’ve eaten a lot of cheesesteaks since I moved here, and I can confidently say this is in tier 1. Nice soft bun, meat that’s not too chopped and not too big. Oh and there’s plenty of cheese (copper sharp gang). There’s a lot of options around the stadium area, this is among the best of them. Go here or John’s roast pork…. Don’t love the two separate lines for steaks and sides but if it works it works!

I just wanted to say the steak and cheese I ordered was really good—great flavor and quality. But I was really disappointed to find that it didn’t come on the seeded rolls you usually highlight on social media. Honestly, those rolls were a big part of why I chose to order from you. It might seem small, but when you build your brand around something like that, people expect it—and I definitely did. Just wanted to share the feedback because I know you take pride in your food.

Visited Skinny Joe’s Philly with high hopes after all the buzz. The bread impressed—soft inside with a perfect crust—and the cheese fries were promising, though skimpy on the cheese. Unfortunately, the Old Fashion Ribeye was a major letdown. We ordered two ($19 each), and both came up short: bland, underseasoned, and missing the rich, cheesy flavor you’d expect. One had noticeably less meat than the other, which made the inconsistency even more disappointing. Maybe the kitchen was just having an off day. This was my first time trying a Philly cheesesteak in Philly, so I came in excited—but they didn’t even offer a side of cheese whiz to punch up the flavor. We’re open to giving it another shot next time we’re in town, hoping for a better experience and a cheesesteak that truly delivers.

We finally decided to try this place and find out what the hype was all about. My cheesteak was good, but my roll was a bit too chewy for me. Cheese fries were delicious and hubs roast pork was delicious as well. But those chicken tenders….now they are great!!! Real chicken breast. Overall it wasn’t a bad meal.

Honestly, I thought this spot might be overrated, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cheesesteak hit the mark: the roll wasn't overbaked, the steak was nicely seasoned, and the Cooper Sharp cheese complemented it really well. I do wish there was a bit more cheese, but it didn't ruin the experience. Bonus points for the condiments table - especially the hot peppers. Service was quick too (maybe thanks to the rain and weekday timing), but I'll definitely be back for another one.

Very good quality cheesesteaks and professional employees. It is worth waiting in life for. I bought a tee shirt there and have had several compliments on it during a pickleball game. This older man asked who skinny Joey is and I said it is the Joey Merlino guy and from Philadelphia. He immediately said, "oh yeah, I love that guy!" If Gene Borello ever came to this place and was aggressive it would be my honor to be used as cannon fodder in the front line protecting the employees. I can take a punch pretty well I hope.

Bottom line... It's a really good cheesesteak. It's worthy of the city. It's not in my personal top 10. That's a hard group to crack. But it's right on the cusp. It's in the upper echelon of the city.

A++++ I selected the Ribeye on seeded roll with Cooper Sharp and fried onions. Others I was wit got chez wiz, provolone and one got American cheese. They have hot peppers in the waiting area you can get yourself. Also, napkins & condiments are in the waiting area-get them yourself. Eating tables outside with only umbrellas, no over hang unless you count the bridge you wait under. We waited in line about an hour. - I would wait again! It was worth it. Come to Hershey Skinny Joeys!

Came on a Saturday a little after 1 pm. Line was not too long. By the time we were almost near the window, the line grew! Delicious cheesesteak. Will definitely be back to try seeded roll with Cooper sharp cheese. Outdoor seating was nice too.

Truly incredible. Best I've had in years. Dont skip this place. Bread is perfect. Even without onions was such high quality

Arrived at Skinny Joey's at 11:20am and there was a long line. Yes, I parked and stood in the line. It took me about an hour before my order was placed. Talking to the people in the line helped the time fly by. There were a few content creators making videos. Skinny Joey's has one side to place orders for sandwiches and another line to order sides. I ordered two cheesesteaks with cooper sharp cheese, fried onions, salt, pepper , mayo, and ketchup. To my surprise. I was informed that the ketchup , mayo, salt, pepper could be found to the side and I had to add it myself. I did not want to open my sandwich there and add the condiments so I waited until I arrived home. The roll is superb! The sandwich was good but there was some fat/ gristle while eating the sandwich that stopped me from having that perfect bite!

Let me start by saying 10 out of 10 for a cheesesteak. I was in town for a trade show last week and saw this place recommended on Instagram from Boston. I went in at 1:00, placed my order at 1:08 (Cooper sharp, no onions) and proceeded to wait 35 solid minutes for my sandwich while 40+ steak & cheeses came and went from people long behind me in the line. Yes, I went up 2 times to ask about my sandwich, I was told "it's next ", 10 minutes later and 10 more steak & cheese passing me by, I went up again. I asked "how do I get a quick one like everyone else". I was told it's how they get processed". Poor system in place....did I ask for the wrong cheese? Should I have asked for onions ? If you go, ask them the fastest one to come out or you'll lose your patience in 89 degree heat with no AC watching everyone behind you happy enjoying themselves.

Cheesesteak was perfect. Seeded roll was top tier. Copper sharp and fried onions. This place is up there with the best cheesesteaks in Philly. And it is conveniently close to the stadiums. It is now our go to before a Phillies game. If you have not tried don't wait any longer.

I drove by and for the first time since they opened I didn't see a line down the street. As a lifelong cheesesteak eater I had to take this opportunity to get an American Wit. I parked (backed in for a safe and easy exit) on the cobblestone under the overpass and when I got to the window there wasn't a person in front of me. I put my order in, 1 American Wit, Un-seeded Roll, and Hot Peppers. Oh, so you know, you order only sandwiches at RIGHT window anything else ya want, ya order at the LEFT window. The women that took my order was friendlier than most people at other local Cheesesteak places, I give her 5 Stars. It's always nice when employees are friendly to customers. First thing I noticed when my steak was ready was that it had a good weight, that's a very good sign, and it made me anxious to get a taste of this heavy sandwich. 5 Stars on the this sandwich feels big scale. This Cheesesteak passed the visual inspection easily earning 5 stars. Before the 1st bite I could see it was a high quality roll which for me that's a roll that is crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The meat was plentiful with Ribeye covering the whole interior of the roll, the cheese was completely melted, nice portion of hot peppers, but for me it could have used more fried onions. Time for the most important test, the taste test. Drumroll please..........5 Stars! Damn this was very good! The Ribeye is fresh, I didn't observe them cutting meat while I waited but the quality and the tenderness of the meat suggests to me that they must be cutting unfrozzen Ribeye on the premises. That's the way to serve a 5 Star Philly Cheesesteak. I have to admit that I didn't expect my experience to be 5 Stars. I am guilty of having had prejudged Skinny Joe's because I thought the long lines was only because the owner is well know in Philly but, I was very wrong. My only complaint was it took longer than most places to cook ans serve 1 Cheesesteak but I'm not going to give less than 5 Stars overall because as I stated above the quality of the roll and the meat was worth the wait. I see a long future for Skinny Joe's and with that long lines for us hungry customers. P.S. I won't be surprised if very soon Skinny Joey's becomes a regular named location in the debates about "Best Cheesesteak in Philly"

The seeded Aversa roll had a crispy exterior and chewy center which held up well. Esposito's roast pork was sliced thin and very tender. Sharp provolone & sautéed spinach complimented the pork nicely. My only complaint is that it was a little dry. Could've used a few spoonfuls of au-jus to soak in a bit. Overall, I'd indulge again!

Drove to south Philly from Delaware came in my Pjs order a cheese steak on a seeded two orders of wings and fries let's just say the food is legendary just like the name on the building drove it home wasn't nasty or cold and the cheesesteak didn't fall apart I do recommend you go to skinny's

Food was delicious we ordered 5 cheesesteaks 1 buffalo chicken cheesesteak, a chicken cheesesteak, 5 cheese fries, onion rings, and 7 cokes. Line was so long we waited for 1 hr 15 min to finally get up to the counter to place our order. Food was really good but we all agreed not enough cheese on the steaks. Next time we go we will order extra cheese on the side. I would still recommend going here because it was worth the wait. We will be back down again when it is a little warmer outside.

Steak was $18 dollars because I added onions & tomato's. Steak was very tasty & the wait time was much better this time around. I took two stars off because my sandwich was pretty empty. Left saying "where's the ribeye" so is it worth the visit yes, will I be going back no.

Excellent food friendly service and the customers/ neighbors are always great to see and catch up with them

Skinny's IS and WAS well worth the wait! Best tasting, most packed and best quality sandwiches in Philly and the surrounding areas. Rolls are even gutted for extra meat. Joey and Snuff did it right! Best of luck to them and the entire team!

I went in there very skeptical expecting it not to live up to the hype. I was driving from Albany down to Tampa so I turned off I-95 to check it out. First of all the cheesesteak itself was delicious. I got the old-fashioned. The hero itself was as good as any bread. I've purchased in the Bronx or Brooklyn. Maybe better. Always love crinkle cut french fries so again they hit it out of the park with these as well. Now the bad part, when I got back to my car, I realized they didn't give me my onion rings, but I was already on my way south so I cannot review the onion rings I paid for. I pulled out the wings and they gave me the wrong wings. I had ordered the buffalo and got the hot honey instead. But that was a happy surprise, actually give those wings five stars. So overall, I would say Skinny Joeys is definitely worth the effort to go to off of I-95. And no, I didn't ask to see the manager to complain about my onion rings and fried chicken mistake. I know better!

The KING of the city in many ways but now it's cheesesteaks! Seeded roll to die for.. The steak was soft as butter. The onions had that sweet caramelization to golden perfection. I don't care how long the line is, you wait. Top notch service and you never know who is going to be there.. Hail the new King of steaks Joey Merlino! For get about it!!!

I was really excited to try this hyped-up cheesesteak spot, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the expectations. I ordered one with Cooper sharp and one with wiz, and both were disappointingly dry. The wiz barely had any cheese, and the overall texture was lacking. To make matters worse, there seemed to be a general vibe of dissatisfaction among other customers too -- I overheard several people at surrounding tables saying the same thing. There was also a weird situation where someone was walking around asking customers to say something positive for social media, which didn't sit right with me. It felt like the place was more concerned with boosting its online reputation than actually serving quality food. First impressions? This definitely isn't a top 5 cheesesteak in the city, and in my opinion, there are better spots outside the city that actually deliver. I might give it another shot once the hype dies down, but for now, I'll be spending my money at places I know will give me a great cheesesteak every time.

We were very impressed with Skinny Joey's cheesesteaks and chicken cheeseteaks. Definitely a big step above the rest. Grew up in Fishtown and my Grandparents were from South Phillly so Ive had about every steak in the city worth trying. . Love the neighborhood vibe of this new store and the staff was very helpful and friendly. That alone is something to be proud of! Good luck Joey and we will definitely be back. God bless.

So good! Highly recommend!! I would probably do no seed on the roll next time but my family enjoyed them.

Bada Bing Bada Burnt!!!! My husband really wanted to try out this Skinny Joey's Cheese Steak spot. We drove 40 minutes and stood in line for about an hour to get three cheese steaks on burnt bread Come on Joey train your staff that if they burn it not to serve it !!! Please don't serve something you wouldn't eat yourself. The girls out front in the window were amazing. The steak wasn't bad but I just couldn't enjoy with the bitterness of the burnt bread.

20 years ago I worked in NYC with a guy from Philadelphia and we went around the city sampling cheesesteaks for him to make a comparison. I recall a place , 100 Miles to Philly as his pick to the closest from NYC in comparison to 'the cheesesteak'. Years later I found a place the Princeton NJ area called Meatheadz which I thought was an amazing sandwich. A 5 star roadside takeout joint. This week I went to Skinny Joeys Cheesesteaks , 2030 S.Broad Street, Phila, Pa. 5 Stars. The cheesesteak was perfect. Forgeddaboudit. The recipe for cheesesteaks is not that complicated, that being said the sandwich was so tasty on every element of a cheesesteak. The final nail was the bread. Truly so good it made an already great sandwich better. They have fairly long lines but a good system to get you served with outside tables to enjoy your meal.

I had the roast pork and the buffalo wings..both were excellent .the bread was also awesome.. I'll be back to try the cheese steak

Went numerous times each time with better than the other with waiting in line for the subs. I ordered a cheesesteak, American and Cooper Sharp cheesesteak with American cheese and roast pork. Everybody in the group loved it. Food was very good.

Sandwiches made my whole family sick !!! People making the sandwiches eat while they are prepping. Had high hopes for this place but will not go back !!!

Steak is bland. Flavorless. The roll was tough and somehow worse than the steak. The service was slow, which is a shame because they were clearly overwhelmed. The area is fine. Not much parking. Wish it was better. I'm sure it will be out of business soon as it seems like a novelty and not a serious restaurant.

Really good cheesesteak, cooper sharp/seeded roll. When u get up close u order sandwiches on rite window and drinks/sides on left window

Food was great. We got a cheesesteak on a seeded roll. 2 orders of wings and fries. Haven't had a good cheesesteak in a while. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks Joey and Snuff!

A+ cheesesteak joint. Grabbed a cheesesteak from brand new Skinny Joey's. Loved it. Bread was very high quality which is probably the most important part. I ordered my steak with cooper sharp it was excellent. this place is up there with Angelo's and Steve's

The hype was worse then chiefs 3 peat. Absolutely the worse cheesesteak I've even had. It's ran like a circus not organization at all. Waited in line 35 min for garbage. Perrullis the spokesman he needs to shit the fk up. Angelos, delassandro, Jim's 100x's better. As for opening 100 stop at one

The cheesesteak was horrible... steak was like eating shoe leather... tons of fat and grizzle... all the money this guy supposedly has you figure he would spend for the good meat... total garbage

Wow I was impressed with my chicken cheese steak. Real chucks of chicken, real hot peppers, delicious seeded bun (you can get seedless). Had to wait in line about 20 minutes but well worth the wait. Pleasant and efficient service as well. Try it out!!

3 hours was wirth the weight got one wit got one without. can't say anything more just you summer around the corner

Fabulous sandwich. Bread, steak and cheese were all perfect. Joey's a true gentlemen and it was a pleasure to dine at his new establishment.

The food was worth the wait. Absolutely amazing steak I got cooper wit and cherry peppers. Also the hot honey wings were top notch.

The cheesesteak was delicious and the fries were good but the time from order to steak in hand was way longer than any Philly cheesesteak place. The fries took even longer. This was midday on a Wednesday with no sporting event. Most of the patrons were upset about the delay in time getting their food. Maybe new business bugs getting worked out but there are plenty of Philly cheesesteak businesses that they could have copied for speed. Hopefully it gets better, if they get the service part worked out the quality of the steak will keep people coming for sure

Worst cheesesteak and chicken cheesesteak we ever had! They were so filled with cheese or goo of some sort that the wrapper, bag and rolls were soaked plus it cost $50 with fries. We ate half and had to throw the rest away.

It isn't just the best cheesesteak! All of their food is excellent. The place is immaculate and service is exceptional.

The steak is small for the price of 17.90 and it barely had any cheese on it also they don't put mayo on your roll you have to do it yourself which is messy

Way over priced for small cheese steak. Not enough cheese, burnt bread. By far the worst Roast Pork Sandwich I have ever had. The taste was inedible. You could tell they took the ends of the pork and chopped them up into the sliced pork. 1 Hour wait for wings which I'm told they bake in oven which is ridiculous. Even the kitchen set up was bad and not optimal. Whoever set up the kitchen doesn't know what they are doing. Angelo's and Johns are the best by far. Unless they straighten up there act the lines will disappear. All this and I wanted it to be good, it fell way short.

no one answers the phone website is just a ploy to buy merchandise no one answers the live chat

I ordered cooper sharp on a seeded roll. I received wiz on a plain roll with no onions. I'd never se d food back so I settled for the wiz and it was a solid steak. My wife actually ordered the wiz on plain roll and loved hers. We ordered cheese fries but were given plain fries. All in all it's definitely a solid cheesesteak next time I'll check my order.

To start they opened late by 7 minutes when you are new and trying to make an impression you don't open late in my opinion. They took approximately 30 peoples orders then stopped taking orders. They can't keep up with the demand which is a shame. Sandwich was terrible definitely wouldn't go back. Waste of time and money.

A very good cheesesteak, but short of excellent. I got mine with onions, Cooper sharp, broccoli rabe, and a seeded roll. The bread was superb, and while it could have used a tiny bit more meat, it wasn't underpacked. The only problem that I had was the beef was unseasoned and a bit bland, though the texture was great. I'd go there again, but a little salt and pepper would catapult this sandwich into a top tier cheesesteak. Their fries suck, but that's not why you come to a cheesesteak shop.

Not bad minimal wait we went there around 4pm. Food was good. We drove in from Delco for dinner.

I got a chance to go to Skinny Joey's Cheesesteaks. Joey get's a 10!!!! I will definitely go back. They use Ribeye steak and you can get your choice of cheese. I like Coopersharp myself. So, if you happen to be in Philly and want a cheesesteak I suggest visiting Skinny Joey's you will not be disappointed. PS the line to get in May be long but worth the wait.

roasted pork long hots like no other great food service on point wings were the bomb also thanks
