Skinny Joey's Cheesesteaks

It was my first time going to Skinny Joey’s. It was a total disappointment. The steak meat tasted chalky and was very greasy. I got it with cooper sharp and onions on a seeded roll. The steak meat they use is either cheap meat or they just don’t know how to cook it. The bread was good. The atmosphere and service were also good. The ladies up front were pleasant. It’s cool just to visit and peak at the atmosphere, but the cheesesteak was a real disappointment. I drove all the way from New Jersey.

This is very good Chesssteak spot. Location is near the Stadiums in South Philly. I believe everything is priced well considering the quantity and quality you are getting. Atmosphere is good as well its busy but controlled and not chaotic. Seating areas are clean as well. As far as food cheesteak has alot of meat ,bun was tasty not soggy. Fries were perfectly golden crinkle cut fries that were crunchy and didn't need any ketchup in my opinion or extra salt.

This cheesesteak was amazing! The bread had that perfect sesame crunch, the steak was tender and flavorful, and the cheese and onions just melted together perfectly. Every bite was messy in the best way. The place is always busy, so either call in your order early for pickup or be ready to wait around 40 minutes between standing in line and getting your food. Totally worth it though—one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve had in Philly!

I think this is the best cheese steak in all Philly! The steak is tender, plentiful and cooked to perfection! The seeded roll is the perfect roll for a Philly cheese steak. The service is excellent. There are a lot of cheese steak places are are just rude to customers (ya know the tourist traps) not at Joey's the staff is warm and welcoming. I can't recommend them any higher. If you're wondering about parking there is 1hr parking on broad between bigler an Pollock or you can park under 76

Our trip to Philly, this was the highlight! Cheesesteak was definitely the best I've had. Usually not a fan of crinkle cut fries but these were cooked and seasoned perfectly. We are moving back to the area and looking forward to being able to visit more frequently. Bonus: Saw Snuff outside and he greeted me with a Go Birds, as he should lol.

Absolutely blown away. I have to say the ribeye cheesesteak here is incredible. I got the seeded Sarcone roll, wiz, & raw onion and it was PERFECT! I didn’t really know what to expect but we waited in line for an hour and 15 minutes, half of that was in line to order the other half was waiting for the food to come out and initially I was like this is insane, but the food was worth it! Juicy tender ribeye meat perfect amount of cheese, crisp raw onions, and the bread was perfect. 10/10 I will be back!

We had a little wait in line to order(20 minutes), I mean we did get there at 1 pm on a Saturday. The young lady that took our order was polite, unlike some other cheesesteak spots in Philly. We waited like 15 minutes to get our food. Definitely worth the wait. The steak was phenomenal! The seeded roll had a nice crunch, and they definitely didn't skimp on the meat! One of the best steaks I've had in Philly! Definitely recommend Skinny Joey's!

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!!

Cheese steak absolutely amazing. Great flavor. Finally able to get one after showing up five times an the line being too long and no parking available. Rather have whole hot peppers and sliced ones. Don't get like Tony nix where they bag them now and don't leave them out. By the way where's the pickles? Didn't see that bed bug there. He must been over to live casino making bad bets again.

I know I'm a die-hard been eating Dalesandro's since forever, but as we were down in S. Philly visiting my Son, I thought I'd try to branch out... Well the quality of the meat was very good, as was the quantity. I ordered with a plain roll & the roll was also above average as rolls go (but maybe ? had more crust texture than I'm used to on a Steak sandwich ...although it did not distract from the experience). Then everything went SOUTH (and I'm not speaking of the physical location in Philly)! I ordered a: Cheesesteak with Mushrooms & Provolone Cheese! The receipt says: I ordered a Cheesesteak with Mushrooms & Provolone cheese! They wrote this on the wrapping!! Did you see the cheese (?) cause I sure didn't!! As for the mushrooms I think (?) I found 3 on the one half I ate ‍ I went through the remaining sandwich when I got home (and could dissect it in the light). I found NO mushrooms/ No cheese on this 2nd 1/2...Very, very disappointing!!! Nope, will not be returning..1st impressions are telling!!

Decently long wait on a Friday evening around 7:20pm and the line was even longer when I was leaving around 8pm. Separate windows to order cheesesteak vs sides. Cheesesteak came out much faster than the sides, although the line to order sides was much shorter. Lots of meat on the cheesesteak and quality of meat seems to be good and flavorful, but cheesesteak as a whole is nothing to write home about, esp given the wait. Sides come out nice and hot, freshly fried but overall somewhat lacked flavor. I tried the onion rings and cheese fries. Probably won't be returning

One of one favorite things to do is try new cheesesteak places in Philly whenever I visit my family, and this spot DID NOT disappoint. I got the chicken cheesesteak and fries and it was excellent. I loved how fresh the ingredients were, crispy fries & how fast the service was. It's nestled under a bridge and even has a seating areas attached to eat, nothing fancy, but it's clean, and the food is good. I'd recommend it as an option to try, I can see them becoming a local hotspot.

Not the best cheesesteak I've ever had but it wasn't bad. It's more about the experience of ordering up at the counter, eating next to the overpass, and learning about the history of the place.

So tellllllllll me why I came to Skinny Joey's after Dez Bryant went live on Instagram, saying how bombbbb the food was. On Live he said the food on the scale, was an 11/10 so I haddd to try it out! My brother and I came the following day, and not going to lie... I've had more flavorful cheesesteaks in the DMV. That 11/10 was in actuality about a 6/10. I don't wanna be competitive but I told Dez on another platform that he should go to Chunky and Bop's in Hyattsville, MD for an 11/10 cheesesteak. What I will say about the establish, was that the staff was greattttt. The line moved fairly quick, even if the line was already long - like past the parking, line under the overpass-bridge long. I believe my brother and I only waited about about 40 minutes in totality & we arrived about an hour after opening. Not going to lie, I don't think I'd come back for another cheesesteak. Their fries were also good, but I would want to try their wings and some other items.

This is the most delicious cheesesteak I've ever had! The meat is seasoned and chopped perfectly. The cheese is mixed well with the meat! The bread is thin. This is my favorite place in Philly!

Finally got to try their cheesesteak after waiting a while because they've had a long line ever since their grand opening. I loved the cheese fries and the cheesesteak, for me definitely worth trying! I was a bit disappointed with the roast pork though, it was pretty dry. But overall, everything else was amazing. Plus, the service was quick and really good!

The cook forgot my fried onions, boooo. Bread is good, fries that are well done are good also. They also won't do non chopped, idk why.

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.

I wanted my bf to try Philly cheesesteaks for the first time and I was a bit hesitant only bc Skinny's Joe's is very new and a hot spot for tourists but I was proven wrong! The cheesesteaks were so bomb and my bf thought they were amazing. No skimping on the meet or cheese AT ALL! Seeded roll was great but it was just a little hard but it was 11pm on a Friday. Mozzarella sticks had great pull and decent flavor. Wait time was very acceptable about a 5-10 min total with including sides. The workers were no nonsense but super friendly at the same time especially the one cashier working on the far right she was super sweet. I def will return to try the roast pork. Oh my favorite detail was the cheesesteak wrappers with Joey's newspaper headlines. Classic Philly I love it so much. I def recommend :)

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.

Amazing!!! Yummy cheesesteak. A bit of a wait but worth it. Would go back for sure. Next time I'll order mine with the grilled onions. They also ran out of the seeded bun so I'll have to go back next time in Philly. Go BIRDS!

When I'm Rome! Ugh....I mean Philly! You gotta get a cheesesteak. We asked around our office for the best spot near the airport and Skinny Joes was mentioned as the hands down choice. It's all outside but does have covered sections. You walk up and order at the window. Service was good and very friendly. Our cheesesteaks and cheese fries did not disappoint! Bread was soft with the perfect chew, steak was clearly quality and always WIT WIZ. However they also have another sharp white cheese option that was also ordered and was great. I'd definitely return to Skinny Joes!

A must do when you find yourself in Philly. Definitely one of the best steaks in the city. Great ribeye, seeded role and delicious cheese and onions. Prompt and friendly service with a smile and a "thank you".

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!

Don't listen to the haters, Skinny Joey's is the truth. Their cheesesteak is easily top 10 in all of Philadelphia, and it's hands down the best within earshot of the stadiums. The roll, the amount of meat, and the cheese coverage is all on point. I also had the cheese fries which were amazing. My only knock is that their two window ordering system is a little clunky and felt like it slowed down the service a bit...i'm sure this will be refined once they've been open longer.

Visiting Philly for work and a coworker recommended stopping by Skinny Joey's for a cheesesteak. Damn glad we did because it was simply amazing. Ordered the Ribeye cheesesteak on a seeded bun with Cooper sharp cheddar wiz, grilled onions and sautéed mushrooms topped with peppers. There was a line to place/pick up your order, but definitely worth the wait.

I feel bad saying this I really wanted to like it. It was so mushy I felt like I was eating an egg salad sandwich so grossed out o couldn't finish a half of it and very expensive.

This hole in the wall cheesesteak place was easy to get to and had picnic tables available. The lines were longer. But it was so worth it!! The Old Fashion Cheesesteak sandwich was amazing and the fries were crispy and hot. This would be a must have if you are coming to Philly.

Service was excellent, no line at lunch time on a Wednesday. The seating available is outside. It was scorching hot outside but they have umbrellas at the tables that way you don't get fried from the sun (just boiled instead). It was our first time here, myself and coworkers for lunch. They have two areas to purchase things, one line for cheesteaks and another line to order drinks and sides. It's different and maybe even annoying for those who have to swipe twice, but it seems internally it works for them and beneficial for their processes. They have giant tubs to pump your condiments out. Catsup, mustard, mayo and some sweet hot peppers in a big ol pot too scoop out. I ordered onion rings, they were hot as it was outside. The breading to onion ratio, it was more crunchy breading than onion but they did not exist long. Coworker ordered cheese fries. They come crinkle cut in a cup drizzled in wiz, banger. Coworker ordered a chicken cheesesteak. It looked fantastic with every morsel of chicken covered in cheese. The cheese steak I ordered had a seeded bun, toasted seeds,which were tasty. It wasn't the best bread I've had because of the bite, it's a harder chew/bite than I desire. They don't skimp on the cheese. My american cheese was gooey throughout. The steak was big as my fork. I give the steak an 8.5. Solid, tasty, fast service.

Best CheeseSteak I've had in Philadelphia in a long time! Seeded Roll, Fried Onions & Cooper Sharp with Cherry Peppers on the side. It's worth the ride from Delaware and closer to then the "other choices". It's all they say it is. Well done Skinny Joeys

The cheesesteak was solid -- good flavor, juicy, and worth the stop. Fries, though, were a letdown -- soggy and underwhelming compared to the sandwich. I'd come back for the cheesesteak, but I'd skip the fries next time.

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.

Decided to stop by to see if this place lived up to the hype. I got a ribeye cheesesteak with fried onions. I love that the steak was finely chopped and there was a lot of it. The meat to cheese ratio was perfect. Maybe a tad bit stingy on the onions, and the roll was a bit too chewy for my taste but nevertheless I enjoyed the seeded roll. I think this place can definitely fit in the top places to get a cheesesteak in Philly but I can't say it's the best cheesesteak I ever had. I'd come back to try other stuff, and chat up the friendly workers!

Everything i ate from skinnies was fanomanol and the wings hot honey I'm getting excited just thinking about them is that normal, god bless skinnies.

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!

Stopped by with my girl...spot was on point. The sandwich was stacked . The old fashioned. My girl got the regular Cheesesteak. We didn't get any fries, if there crispy spot is a 10... of course it's priced high and there is a wait.. we waited 20 minutes for the food...order was hot coming out..we got some parking... towards the end we saw Joey... YO CUGINE....YOUR A WINNER

This placed opened up recently and the lines just kept going and going. We finally stopped by on a weekday around 5:00pm to check out the hype. Honestly, the whole experience was disappointing. First, there is no parking so you have to look for residential parking around the corner. Then we waited over 40 mins for one cheesesteak, yes just one cheesesteak. And last, the cheesesteak was small for what you paid for. I guess that's why they call it skinny. Probably will not return as there are better options for cheesesteaks around the area.

I really like the cheesesteak! It had a lot of meat and the bread was so soft and I'm allergic to onions and it was so nice to not have to say please don't cook it and load it fully with onions cause they only put onions if you ask for it. You did have to order the soda and fries at a different window then you order the subs at which was a little weird, but it wasn't that big of deal. Both of the people who were serving at the windows were polite and so nice and super helpful. The parking is a little scarce and kind of weird to place the park as you're gonna park under an underpass or you can park right around the corner at the next light. The building is clean and very well lit and very nice.. They have a nice outdoor seating right next to that restaurant that you can sit and eat your sub at it was a little warm so we didn't sit outside and eat, but it was definitely a nice place. I would like to go again, and the food was definitely good..

This place was recommended to me when I was recently in Philly. I tried the buffalo chicken cheesesteak and it was so good. I love blue cheese so for me, it was a win. The cheese fries were good as well. We did DoorDash, and service was great, and food was fast!! Every time I drive by the shop, it looked busy!

On our way to the Philly airport, my friend and I stopped to try Skinny Joey's. I knew we were in for something good judging by the many people in line. Once in, I ordered a steak sandwich with light onions and american white on a regular roll. My friend ordered a steak sandwich with hot peppers, provolone on a poppy seed roll. Since were were on different flights, I asked for separate bags. I treated my friend and both were approx. $38. Pricey for cheesesteaks and the expectations were high. The bags were labeled to indicate which was which, or so we thought. Dropped my friend off at her terminal, dropped off the rental car and proceeded to my terminal. Once through TSA and at my gate, I wanted to try my sandwich. Opened the bag and saw that my friend's sandwich was there. I don't like peppers or provolone on my sandwich but tried it anyway. It was just OK. I'm sure the one I ordered was good. Not a good look, Skinny Joey staff.

Good but not good enough to rank with the top shops. Overpriced. Paying $18 for a cheesesteak and then another $4 for water is crazy. I bought the hype and didnt meet the value.

Best cheese steak in the city of Philadelphia Yummylishes!!! Plus all the out specialty sandwiches !!!

Dry and cold. I believe this place is a bit hyped up. The cheese fries were too salty as well. I wouldn't return.

Ok. So I tried this place last week and it was actually decent and I enjoyed it. Well I came back today to try it again and verify , well it's definitely not that great. Inconsistent , and way overpriced for what you get. Too many other great spots around there to make this a stop in my list. Parking absolutely sucks!, food is mediocre and steaks are damn skimpy. I bought 2 steaks 1 with wiz and 1 with cooper both with fried onions. The cooper steak had hardly any meat for $18 the wiz one was ok I guess. Got cheese fries and regular fries. There was hardly any cheese on these $7 fries. Honestly , I wouldn't waste a trip to come here, if you just happen to be around maybe stop in ,but overpriced and mediocre at best ! Maybe go to Angelos if you're looking for a decent steak !

Skinny is in the name but you get a huge sandwich! Amazing cheesesteak! This very popular restaurant is walking distance to the sports venues in Philly. The service was fast and to the point. The price was little higher than expected but it's what you get in Philly. This is a quick service shop. But let me say this the only thing skinny is in the name.

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.

Amazing, roll is great, steak is great not greasy at all. Good amount of cheese. Best steak I've had in a long time, deserves to be in every conversation of best steaks in Philly.

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

Kept driving by and finally stopped in. There was a line but not a long wait. 2 separate lines one for sandwiches and another for sides and drinks. I got the ribeye cheesesteak and French fries. Fried onions and sweet peppers. It was loaded with meat , no seasoning and couldn't really taste the onions and peppers. Sandwich was $17 and fries were $6. Could have had more fries for 6 bucks. Overall it was ok. It was fresh and had a lot of meat. If you didn't know the owner the wrapping says it all. Might would go again.

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"

Best in cheesesteak in Philly by far ! Fresh bread, Packed with meat, and cooper sharp cheese. I'll never go anywhere else. Felt like family with the service I got. Place looks awesome

Waiting in line longer than I should have, they were too slow to process everyone's order and had an attitude towards any one asking about their order. Steak, cooper sharp and onions, sandwich was average at best. Not worth the hype or money.

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.

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.

DEFINITELY the best cheesesteak in Philly, hands down. The roll has just enough crunch to it, & the meat is cooked just right. Please open one up in S Florida soon.

Went for lunch with my wife and parents at 11:45 on 7/12: Cheese fries - 5 Cheesesteak - 4 Efficiency - 4 Friendliness of employees - 5 (The South Philly Beauty Queen working the fry window is a great face for the business!) My only issue is that the price for a steak has jumped to $18 ... I know they're striking while the iron is hot, but this could be a deterrent in the future ... It's definitely too high ... More meat would justify the price.

For a newly opened place this was pretty good. The meat was a little fatty and my roll was more burnt than I would like but it was relatively solid.
