"Meet the neighborhood's cheesesteak destination. Every sandwich comes with thick cuts of ribeye layered on their long rolls. Cheese options include american, whiz, mozzarella, and even blue (don't you dare). Go provolone so you can get that extra sharp flavor." - candis mclean, alison kessler

The friendly service, a great product, and manageable lines make Sonny’s Famous Steaks a solid choice for an Old City lunch. Grab a seat on the sidewalk out front or order takeout or delivery online." - Annemarie Dooling
"Sonny’s is the best place in the neighborhood for a great cheesesteak. It comes with thick pieces of ribeye that come layered on their long rolls, and they have have lots of cheese options, like American, whiz, mozzarella, and even blue. We're partial to the provolone so you can get that extra sharp flavor. Plus, we’re pretty sure a cheesesteak with blue cheese crumbles is the quickest way to get a “Are You Even From Here?” trophy." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"If a cheesesteak is an absolute must, check out the friendly Sonny’s Famous Steaks, which has garnered its fair share of national accolades for sandwiches stuffed with rib-eye and Whiz. Another good Old City option for any Philly cheesesteak collector is Campo’s, whose Heater sandwich is a popular spicy take on the classic. The longstanding shop also offers several vegan items." - Diana Lu
