Iconic Dishes in Philly | Eater Philly

"At Taste Cheesesteak Bar, this tasty dish features oxtail that’s marinated in a Haitian blend called epis (onions, scallions, garlic, parsley, bell peppers, and other spices), then layered with Philly-favorite Cooper Sharp cheese, and finally stuffed in a Liscio’s Bakery long roll that encapsulates its dynamic flavor." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme

Why the Oxtail Cheesesteak Is the Best Version of the Philly Classic | Eater Philly

"After seeing a viral Instagram reel (posted by Josh Moore) that convinced me to try it, I went to Taste Cheesesteak Bar in November and was immediately converted by their oxtail cheesesteak. The sandwich features slow-braised, boneless oxtail—more tender than the typical rib-eye—marinated in a Haitian epis (onions, scallions, garlic, parsley, bell peppers, and other spices), layered with Cooper Sharp cheese, and stuffed in a Liscio’s Bakery long roll that locks in the deep, savory flavors. Priced at $35, the lively Center City spot has no reservations and no delivery options. Owner Kevin Dolce says the idea comes from his Caribbean heritage and his mother’s Haitian oxtail marinade, a cultural twist that replaces the usual rib-eye while keeping the cheesesteak formula intact." - Ernest Owens

Taste Cheesesteak Bar - Review - Center City - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Opening a cheesesteak spot in a cheesesteak town is about as unnecessary as using a DVD rewinder. Especially if said cheesesteaks are totally fine, like they are at Taste in Center City. These sandwiches have the satisfying cheesy-mushy center of any decent cheesesteak you'll find at your neighborhood shop. The difference here is that you're going to have to wait far too long—we clocked 30 minutes for one cheesesteak—for what's ultimately a run-of-the-mill meal in Philly. So come if you’re a tourist who doesn’t know that Cleavers nearby has a larger menu with a shorter wait, or maybe to watch a game on one of Taste's big screens if everywhere else in the neighborhood is packed." - Candis R. McLean

First off, I would give this a 7 out of 5 stars if you would allow me. Now: Let's Get Busy! To my fabulous waitress Naomi: Thanks for the EXCELLENT and professional service! I told you I would give a shout out. You deserve it! Food: People of all walks of life, aliens, and creatures of the sea, you have to go to TASTE. Their cheesesteaks will stop you from hitting those tourist traps and feeling "Mediocrerized". I personally had the Jerk Chicken Cheesesteak and I will never, ever share mine, even though it is huge! Mine, ALL mine! SPicy, tantalizing, insatiable to your palate. ( For transparency, I am allergic to onions, so mine came without ) The combination of all their ingredients will take you an erogenous zone, if you know what I mean. My son ordered the basic beef cheesesteak, but DAMN: it was not ordinary, but extraordinary! He is a student at PENN and he will now be a forever customer. THe sauce they use, the tender beef had him salivating! Yes, this is a Black Owned business and I am happy to say, it earns all the kudos and stars, not because of Blackness, but excellence! People of all walks of life, creeds and religions were there when we arrived. We observed people leaving the bar area with smiles, the crew was smiling and you will be too.......

The Philly cheesesteak here is amazing! One of the best cheesesteak I ever eaten. The ratio of the meat and cheese and seasoning is spot on. Eating this sandwich is what made me addicted to eating Philly cheesesteak. I highly recommend to others if you are in the area to try out this spot as you will not be disappointed at all and craving for more everyday afterwards. I will most definitely return if I am ever back in town for work again.

This place was DELICIOUS. We asked chat GPT what the best place around for a decent price and it pointed us here and it was CORRECT! Drinks were tasty and fun (they put a changing color light in the drinks- at least what I got). The cheesesteaks came out pretty quick, we were there around 7pm on a Thursday. I love the chopped meat and the cheese is all melty on the bread and peppers were chopped and mixed in as well. It was amazing! 10/10 would recommend.

Some friends and I went to the taste bar to order some steaks and fries. Ironically, we all order the same meal. We wanted to try the Oxtail Cheesesteak with the Salmon French Fries. I was not dissapointed with the quality and quantity of the food. The atmosphere was chill and laid back. The indoor dining area is a little tight as far as for room but there is also an outdoor seating area as well. Where we were seated became packed with people in less than 15 minutes. People were coming in by groups. The service was amazing our hostess name was Stephanie who guides us with all the answers we did have some questions since it was our first time there. Overall it was good. I would like to eat outside in the patio next time.

Taste did not disappoint. We were less than impressed with the food in Philly until someone recommended Taste to us. The food was delicious! I highly recommend you try this place if you're ever in Philly. Uber drivers will refer you to other places, but this is a hidden gem you don't want to miss! 10/10

The best and biggest cheesesteak I got in Philly. Everything about it was perfect, and the fries were some of the best I've ever had, so fresh and tasty! 🤤 My server, I didn't get her name, but she was quite attentive, asking me was I ok multiple times, that's good service. She's very beautiful too lol, anyway I'll be back in the future. 😎

I’ve been to Taste over 20 times since they opened and it’s changed so much. You don’t have the option for sesame seed rolls anymore which was my favorite and now they are charging automatic gratuity on all checks. Not to mention there is not one single person behind the counter that knows how to make a drink! DO NOT ORDER ANY DRINKS, they are not proper bartenders and I’m speaking as a bartender myself. If you do order drinks, expect it to be sour tasting with no smooth flavor and no alcohol. I would recommend TAKE OUT ONLY, the Oxtail and the Salmon are my favorites but be aware of oxtail bone bits (I had an huge bone in my oxtail one time) and I also had a stem from the spinach or something brown in the salmon cheesesteak. I did receive a comp meal because that oxtail bone was huge and that was completely unacceptable. The Jerk Chicken is also good too. There is a lot of staff turnover so expect to see new people every time you dine in. Kai was the best server there but sadly he left. O was cool too but I haven’t seen him in a while. Ash has been there for a minute so she’s always there behind the bar.

Best Chicken Cheese Steak I’ve had—East Coast to West Coast! Service was a little slow (our order got missed), but once it came out… Babeeee, worth every bite. I had the Chicken Cheese Steak, hubby had the Jerk Chicken, my granddaughter had the regular Cheese Steak. Big portions, big flavor—I wish I grabbed one to-go for my flight. The Jolly Rancher Cocktail was an absolutehit! Perfection.

I've been here twice and I've been satisfied twice. The staff is cool, great spot to be for sporting events. They have high top tables and seating as well as bar seating. The food is full of flavor and it is definitely a spot I will go back too. The cheesesteak is stuffed and flavorful, meats seasoned well and they add good amount of cheese, I'd still say get extra. My favorite thing from here is the jerk chicken fries. Heat, flavor, and the amount you get, you'll have a good nap afterwards.

Our friends have been raving about this place for a few years now. We tried to visit twice but both times it was really crowded and parking was tough. Our timing this time around was perfect. We had family visiting from out of town and stopped in for lunch. It wasn't crowded, the bartender was friendly. Everything was neat and clean. The ambiance was laid back. I think their cheesesteaks all come with onions, peppers and copper sharp. I was intrigued by the salmon cheesesteak, but ended up going with chicken in a seeded roll and added mushrooms. It was delicious. The chicken was seasoned really well which is rare. Most places barely add salt & pepper. We also ordered the jerk chicken and a regular beef and couldn't resist sharing cheese fries. Everyone loved their food. They also have a happy hour and I had a margarita- which was tasty. We'll definitely be returning!

The salmon cheesesteak was better than I expected. It was very filling and definitely needed a knife and fork or two big hands to eat. The flavor was fantastic and the sweet chili sauce that came with it made it even better. I will return to try the oxtail cheesesteak. Note: Happy Hour is Monday through Friday from 4-8pm.

No healthy options but what can you expect from a cheesesteak bar? LOL We enjoyed the chicken cheesesteak, and jerk salmon steak which were huge portions. The cheese fries were enjoyed also. I really liked that the food and drinks are made in front of you which keeps people honest and clean. Service was great and I would definitely return on a cheat day!

Omg! I have almost no words. Came to Philly for a da trip and this restaurant was recommended to us on the train. It is a fairly small restaurant, with a bar. Not too many tables, but they do also have a kiosk where you can order food to go if you don't plan on sitting inside. They do also offer outdoor seating. The owner/or manager, not 100% sure, is very nice and was super attentive and helpful. I usually don't like cheesesteaks, however, this one was AMAZING! It was the perfect amount of chicken and peppers. I did ask for minimal cheese and it was just enough. This is the first time I've had a cheesesteak and wanted another. I can't wait to return!

Wow wow wow!!! This place is SOOO good! Went here recently to give my bf a tour of Philadelphia since he's never been. Wanted to try this place out for the first time and my goodness! I'm so glad I did!!! I got the chicken cheesesteak, he got the regular cheesesteak and my friend got a cheesesteak with oxtail. We also had a couple of drinks and they were so good! Can't remember the name of it though. The actual place is pretty small so NOT a place to bring a big group at all. I'd say about 4 friends max, it's mostly a bar area. Our server was extremely nice and greeted us immediately, the food also came out in around 15 minutes after we ordered so not bad. The chicken cheesesteak I had was so juicy and delish. I mean the amount of MEAT they give you is so generous. If you need a cheesesteak place to go to and your downtown look no further. THIS IS IT! I will defintely be back.

Their cheesesteaks will stop you from hitting those tourist traps and feeling "Mediocrerized". My only thing is I would love the lighting to be a slight bit warmer (my preference, no big deal), but the ambiance is nice. Trendy bar, nice tables. Don't hesitate to visit this place in downtown Philly, right near the Sonesta Hotel and City Hall. I am proud to support this Black owned business that caters to all walks of life. I saw all walks of life there in my visit.

Okay, so my husband and I were in town for Nas, and after the concert, I was starving. And let's be honest who doesn't want a Philly cheesesteak when you're in my hometown of Philly? Now, I'm traditionally a chicken cheesesteak girly, but my husband convinced me to switch it up. I searched Yelp and TikTok to see what the hype was about, and that's how we landed at Taste Cheesesteak Bar. We tried the oxtail cheesesteak and baby it did not disappoint. I'm talking slap your momma good at 1:30 AM! The oxtail was tender, seasoned to perfection, and the meat-to-bread ratio? Impeccable. When we bit into it, we literally found ourselves savoring the flavor with our eyes closed. That's how good it was. Every bite was a moment. I highly recommend giving it a try. I'll definitely be back to taste the salmon and jerk cheesesteaks next time I'm in town. We were only in Philly for less than 24 hours, but this spot made the cut!

Recently visited the area and Taste was recommended by locals. We tried the original Philly Cheesesteak and the Cajun. My personal fave was the Cajun, but the original was also very good. My only complaint was there was a bit TOO much cheese for me. (That's personal preference, however. As a first-timer, I wasn't sure how to order.) I believe most folks would be happy with how it comes. We were seated after a lil wait. The service was busy that particular night. Space is limited here, so large parties may wish to choose the 'to-go' service. There were TVs available to watch the games and a full drink option if you're into that. Heads up parents: the bathroom does have photos a tiny bit provocative in case you're bringing kiddos. All-in-all, delicious food and in a great location that was easy to walk to.

We arrived around 4pm on a Saturday, and it was pretty busy, but we were able to get seats at the bar right away. LeKia was our server/bartender and she was wonderful! We started with the Taste Me Margarita and Hennything is Possible to drink and both were awesome! For food, we decided to get a beef cheesesteak and a jerk chicken cheesesteak and split half and half so we could taste both. My boyfriend gave the beef 9/10 and I gave the chicken 10/10. I liked the beef, but much preferred the chicken. The service was definitely 10/10. It was crazy busy with takeout orders at one point , but we never felt completely ignored. The grills were being cleaned periodically - love to see that ! We parked 1 street over and had no problem swinging in to street parking. The music was also nice!

We visited here during a weekend trip to Philly. We wanted something different than the usual Pat's & Geno's we always see posted. We walked in not realizing it is actually a bar lol. The space is small - they have seating but not much. It is not good for big groups. We had the jerk chicken fries and a cheesesteak. We shared the sandwich and fries which worked out because the sandwiches are huge! The next day we came back for a jerk chicken cheesesteak and it was amazing! We brought it back to NJ with us and it still tasted great. We've been wanting to return & are hopefully planning to soon!

We had lunch here before getting on the road to head back to DC. It's a very small cheesesteak spot with a modern twist. I liked that they had several TVs with various games showing, full bar, and a kiosk for ordering to go items. We chose to dine in, but were disappointed to learn that they could not accommodate four people at any table, except the one near the door they created by pushing two tables together. Larger tables were outside, but I'm not a fan of alfresco dining unless it's near something scenic. For a tiny spot, the food was well done. The cheesesteaks were flavorful, and no condiments were needed. We weren't a fan of being served our drinks in plastic cups, but it's more of a dive spot. Customer service was good, the music was nice, and we ultimately had a good time. I would definitely return for a cheesesteak when I'm back in Philly. I just don't suggest this spot for large groups.

Very tasty cheesesteak and HUGE portion which was good because it was expensive. I got a chicken cheesesteak and we also got some fries which were nice and crispy and salty The inside of this place was insane. The door opened and we were blasted with music, literally like a club, it was so strange. Very prompt, we ordered to go and it was ready super fast which was nice.

No COMPLAINTS. This was sooooo good. I so glad my family suggested it. My Philly cheesesteak was so yummy I was putting my fries in it. (The Jersey girl in me couldn't resists). I'm only upset because I don't think to order a cheesesteak sub to go. But next time I'm up north I will be ordering two of those perfectly made juicy cheesesteaks.

Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Jeremih all got cheesesteaks from here this weekend! I was in good company. This place's gets super crowded on the weekends. Came after Eagles training camp. Must try the jerk chicken cheesesteak. Better than I could have imagined. The salmon cheesesteak was okay to me. But that jerk chicken had all the flavor. Terrence was a great server. Great place to take friends you haven't seen in a while. They have a bar and have hh specials. I hear they also have a DJ sometimes too.

Good drinks, good music, cheese steaks on point. Service is alright depending on the time you go . Gotta get some cold holding/storage for the meat if they aren't cooking it, but I guess it's the authenticity of it all and they run through so much.

My son found this place on yelp and had to try it since they had Jamaican style cheese steaks. The service was quick and the food came out fast. We got two regular cheese steaks, one oxtail cheese steak and one jerk chicken cheese steak and some fries. We love Jamaican food and will definitely come back for another oxtail and Jerel cheese steak, our only suggestion is if you want more of the flavor then ask for no cheese. The vibes were good and had TV's with sports playing and they serve drinks as well. Great experience and nice alternative if you want a change from the traditional cheese steak.

The Oxtail Cheesesteak is an absolute must! I ordered mine to go and it was piping hot, a hefty size, and loaded with oxtail meat. So tender with such a fluffy roll, yet super filling. I might have to make this a regular stop on my Philly trips! The restaurant looks cool inside and I do wish I got to stick around to enjoy the cheesesteak at a table or bar, but ordering to go is super easy with their kiosk system. Didn't take too long to get my order and be on my way!

Worth the hype! I'm not a fan of traditional cheesesteaks, I tried a few of the popular spots and was not impressed. Taste popped up on my IG feed and the oxtail cheesesteak immediately caught my attention. Worth the price, huge portion, very tasty. Can't wait to go back and try the other unique menu offerings. The kiosk ordering was quick and easy, food took about 10-15 mins to come out (on a Sunday afternoon).

I had a friend who was in town from The Czech Republic and he stayed downtown. I decided to try this place out because I heard so much about it. Parking: street but you won't find any or you may get lucky! Atmosphere: VERY VERY VERY LOUD! We could hardly hear each other or the server. We went for happy hour. The drinks were good. They have a DJ I believe on Wednesday and Friday? The music was good, but that volume. It's very small in there and when it started to get crowded, people had to squeeze by our high top table so we had to make sure that they didn't knock our drinks over. You can walk up and order at a kiosk to take out. Food: my friend had a beef cheesesteak. He enjoyed it but wanted a toasted roll. I had the "oxtail cheesesteak" it wasn't oxtail. It tasted like roast beef. The meat was tender. It was bland. They did not have oxtail sauce. The price is too much. I would suggest sharing this if you want to try it. The people behind us were raving about it but after talking to them they never had oxtails, so they don't know. Service: wasn't too bad. Overall i wasn't impressed. It's not worth the parking and headache to get a mediocre cheesesteak.

5 stars for one reason and one reason only: THE SALMON CHEESESTEAK. You can get a cheesesteak on damn near every block in Philly. There's signs and ads everywhere letting you know that. But a good salmon cheesesteak? That's a whole different story. And Taste Cheesesteak Bar has it on lock. The salmon steak was fire , ya hear me--perfectly seasoned, juicy, packed with flavor, and the roll was soft but sturdy enough to handle all that deliciousness. It honestly felt like a PA state treasure! We must protect the salmon steak at all costs so everybody can try it at least once lol. I don't even eat cheesesteaks like that anymore, but baby this one might have just pulled me back in. If you're in Philly and want something that hits different from the usual, get the salmon. You won't regret it. You might also enjoy eating it right at the bar. There is seating indoors and outdoors at the Cheesesteak Bar and you've got a view of them cooking your food so you know it's gonna come out just right. It's got cute decor inside with a sweet bartender and some good drinks. I had the 1990 and it was perfection. I promise they got all the vibes and service to match the good food. Overall, I had a nice experience so I'll be back.

There was a-lot hype from my friends raving how great the cheesesteaks were. The bar had multiple seats at the bar and several tables with even more seats nearby. The bar was packed and I was barely able to squeeze in. After a fews of reviewing the short menu, I ordered the jerk chicken cheesesteak. In a few minutes, I got steaming hot, heavily packed cheesesteak. Each bite was difficult to contain due to how overloaded it was, making the meal messy and fantastic. The flavors were wonderful but not the best I've tasted in Philly (ie. Little Sicily 2 ftw ). Still had great food and a wonderful experience.

It was the best experience from top to bottom especially with coming back to Philly again for the Holidays!!! The amazing good vibes and Customer Service was through the roof!!!! Let's not talk about the Hostess/Waitress Stephanie who went above and beyond to make sure everything was on point and my homegirl echoed those same words!!!!So I say thank you again for the absolute amazing experience which was needed!!!Last but not least the Salmon Cheesesteak and Chicken were absolute fire to perfection!!!! Will be back again Taste Cheesesteak Bar and don't change!!!! GOD Bless Y'all!!!!

Had a day trip to Philly and had to check this place out. Honestly I was looking for the more touristy places for a cheesesteak but this place was perfect!! The food was so good here. The cheesesteak was packed with meat I was in love. I hate that I had to leave early would have stayed for happy hour. Will most definitely visit again and spread the word.

Bomb! My good girlfriend told me about this place, and since I'm here for a bachelorette, I decided to hit it up. The place has tv's up for sports, great music playing in the background and the cooks and servers were so nice. Our waitress name was Stephanie, and she was so sweet! We ordered: * Beef Cheesesteaks - BOMB * Fries - very good * Drinks - pretty good I may have to double back to this spot before heading home!

I tried this place on a Saturday night. Place is cute. They play music and the ambience is nice. I'm pissed I was so hungry I forgot to take a pic of the cheesesteak and cheese fries when it came out. They have a nice variety of cheesesteaks like jerk chicken, salmon cheesesteak, chicken cheesesteaks and beef cheesesteaks. They have plenty of sides to choose from. The place never stopped having take out orders. I sat at the bar (yes they serve alcohol) it's a cute spot for a unplanned or planned date night with ur significant other or if you want to meet up for a quick bite with someone you just met.

Great Drinks and Delicious Cheesesteak Stopped by Taste Cheesesteak Bar with a friend and we had a great time. My friend ordered the classic Philly cheesesteak, which was hot, flavorful, and well-seasoned, along with a drink from the happy hour menu for $11 that was similar to a Long Island iced tea. I had a classic margarita for $7, and both drinks were well made and a great value. The place was busy with good energy, and everything we tried was tasty. Definitely worth a visit for both the food and the drinks.

Don't waste your time! I came to dine in. I ordered chicken cheeseburger fries and waited for 30 minutes only for the cook to come over and inform me that they didn't have the item I ordered. This was at 4pm.I have tried to support this restaurant several times because I live nearby but this is it for me.

Came here for the first time to try the oxtail cheesesteak and it was delicious ! The regular cheesesteak is also tasty. The cheesesteaks are big enough to share - especially if you're not willing to spend $35 for multiple orders of the oxtail cheesesteaks. They have a full bar but i opted for a Shirley temple. The decor is modern. They had great music playing. I wish they provided hot sauce, as the cheesesteak would have been perfect with some spice . Parking is also tough in the area

Sooo taste is in a great spot downtown. It's got fast service, despite being pretty crowded. There is only one veggie option and it's a vegan cheesesteak with mushrooms and cauliflower. It wasn't the most ideal combo but I thought I'd give it a shot. The cheesesteak itself was just okay. I have had better vegan cheesesteaks but also I have had worse , so this fell somewhere in between. If you are craving a sub with lots of veggies then you might love this! it was so so full of veggies it was very messy to eat. My boyfriend loved his Philly cheesesteak though with regular meat. So I'm sure the regular ones taste great. I just wish they had an impossible or beyond meat option for some variety for us vegetarians!

I really enjoyed this place. Right outside of Suburban Station. Came in for lunch and dined in. Great quality food with one of best tasing cheesesteaks I've had in life. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Oxtail cheesesteak caught my eye. But I'm not ready to come off $35 for it. Music was very loud in the afternoon, as if we were at a club But overall very good & I'd come back

Good food - nice variety of cheesesteaks. I had the jerk chicken cheesesteak and tasted the salmon cheesesteak. Both were delicious and flavorful. The jerk chicken had the perfect amount of flavor and spice. Looking forward to coming back to try the oxtail. Good service - O at the bar made sure he took care of us. The drinks were good.

Everything here was so good! The flavors were amazing, there were live music and large TVs to watch sports on. Kind of a small place but it makes up for it with their cheesesteaks! No ketchup needed! You better come hungry!

This might be the best cheesesteak I've had in years! Juicy & very flavorful! No wiz... They used another cheese that had a bit of zest to it. It was very delicious! The service was slow because they were very busy on a Friday night, but our server was so nice and friendly! The fries were basic and my margarita was sweeter than I usual like. But overall this was a great experience. There was a DJ spinning great music and there was a bit of a club vibe. The music was very loud... but I got used to it. There were big screens with basketball playing, perfect if you're trying to see a game. I definitely recommend this place for delicious steaks and friendly service! FYI they have oxtail, chicken and salmon cheesesteaks. Very unique... I might try them in the future! I got the beef this time.

This place was packed when we went on a Saturday night. We were told it would be a 90 minute wait so we went to misconduct bar which was basically next door. Luckily we didn't have to wait 90 mins and it was only like a 30 minute wait we had. This place is black owned and is known for their interesting cheesesteaks. They have an oxtail and jerk chicken on the menu. The bathroom had an interesting vibe. There was a sign that said "taste me" but was surrounded by a fake plant wall. The bathroom definately felt like a new age interior decorator decked it out. I ended up getting a jerk chicken with mushrooms. I really loved the cheesesteak. They had cooper sharp cheese which was really good. They cooked the meat, peppers, and onions perfectly. The meat was marinated perfectly as well. The fries that my friends and I split were pretty tasty as well. I don't really like fries but these were amazing. They had cheese on them that just melted in your mouth. The drinks at this place were pretty strong as well. It was interesting that they put a cute light in it. The only thing I didn't like about this place was how loud the music was. It was a couple decibels louder than I would have liked it. Regardless this place had amazing cheesesteaks and that's all that matters!

I was visiting Philadelphia from out of town and wanted to have a classic Philly cheesesteak, since it was my first time in the area. The hotel directed me to this spot and I'm so glad they did! The cheese fries were probably the best I've ever had - both the fries and the cheese sauce were perfection. One thing that sets this place apart from your classic hole in the wall cheesesteak places is that, first, it takes credit cards (which is a must for me), and second, it had a variety of options, in case your group is split about the desire for Philly cheesesteak. The waitress said the salmon and chicken jerk are the most popular items on the menu. Now, obviously, the salmon did not have the same fixings as the beef - that would be an odd pairing, but it did have a chili sauce that was nice. The beef cheesesteak was my favorite, though - it was so good with the onions and peppers.... I would definitely go back to this spot in downtown Philly!

I ended up going to this place on a whim and let me tell you, I'm so glad I did. The atmosphere was lit, the Eagles were playing, it was nothing but Eagles fans in there, and everybody was lit. Every touchdown everyone got a free shot. But let's get back to this food. This oxtail cheesesteak was the juiciest, heaviest, seasoned cheesesteak that I've ever had. Normally, I have to ask for extra cheese with the cheesesteak, but you didn't have to do that with this. It was cheesy to perfection! And the bread was super soft. Everything pretty much just melted in your mouth. And the cheese fries are super underrated. These were some of the best cheese fries I've ever had in Philly, no cap. If you haven't been to display yet, I suggest you go, preferably during an Eagles game so you can experience the same vibe that I did.

Taste Cheesesteak Bar definitely came with the Taste!! Here in Philly got a conference and my colleagues were telling me about Taste so I had to stop by. The service was phenomenal! Welcomed my friends and I with love. We sat outside which was a great vibe. The cheesesteak options were eye catching and I never in my life knew you could have cheesesteak with oxtails, Salmon or Chicken I always thought beef. I decided to get the Salmon Cheesesteak...listen THEE BEST CHEESESTEAK IN MY LIFE YOU HEAR ME!! I had cheese fries and they were great too! Whenever I come back to Philly I will definitely be coming back to Taste! Thank you all so much for the great food and service. 5 stars isn't enough yall deserve 10 out of 10!!

The best Cheesesteak in Philadelphia by far, I ordered 3 Jerk chicken cheesesteaks to take home to Florida. The next time I go I want to try the famous oxtail cheesesteak.

The food wasn't bad at all. Not earth shattering but the cheesesteak spring rolls were actually delicious. We were recommended to try this place while visiting for the weekend. Cheesesteak were decent. Fries were subpar. But the reason for one star was the rude, nasty bartender with the blond braids. Ruined my experience. Our server tried to make up for it but the unprofessionalism of that woman behind the bar soured my entire meal. You couldn't pay me to visit again. Sad bc this place had potential.

Good and drinks were great and so was our server. We went a little before happy hour so it wasn't crowded at all.

A bar specializing in cheesesteaks, in Philly, seems like a no brainer. I was looking forward to trying Taste Cheesesteak Bar after a rough day at the office. I met up with a friend for Happy Hour. When we arrived we were greeted warmly, but then completely ignored for what felt like a long time. There was other staff working at the time, so we really shouldn't have had to sit there for so long being ignored. It was a hot day and some water would have gone a long way. It turns out we arrived when it was time for a shift change, so we had to wait for one bartender to close out and for another bartender to start. I was tempted to just leave since it took me a while to realize what was going on, but we stayed and the bartender taking over was very nice and did provide good service. I enjoyed the Drop Your Location cocktail she made me. It's a vodka based cocktail with lemonade. It is a cheesesteak bar, so the most important thing is the cheesesteak. They have a variety of them, but I stuck with the basic beef cheesesteak. It was huge. It's so filled with steak that it's hard to bite it. And there is something mixed in the meat or a spice on the meat that gives it a spicy kick. It is a legit Philly cheesesteak, but the spicy kick is unnecessary. And It's so hard to get that perfect bite because it's overstuffed. It on a Liscio's roll, which is one of the best rolls for a cheesesteak. The cheesesteaks here are best shared between two people. Definitely come to Taste hungry. If I come back, I hope it won't be during a shift change.

Vibes are great in the evening, we came in on a weekday evening, on a Wednesday. Food was a bit pricey but very tastey, if I remember correctly, the oxtail cheesesteak goes for $35. Staff was nice, bartenders were nice, I'd recommend coming here and sitting inside to fully soak up the vibes

This place is poppin! It's a great place for a date night. They have indoor seating for tables of two, maybe three and seating at the bar. It appears they will have outdoor seating also when the weather permits. They offer a selection a chef created cheesesteaks, fries, pizzas and sides. We ordered the jerk chicken cheesesteaks and chicken cheeseste fries with peppers and onions. This food was really delicious . Just enough jerk seasoning and spice with the cheese!!! The rolls were soft and tasted fresh baked. They offer alcoholic beverages and beer. We had Modelos. Expect to wait!!!, as the food is prepared to order. The earlier you come the better if you're trying to get a table. They also have happy hour throughout the week. Watch the short video posted. Black owned restaurant that's seems to be doing well and servicing the community with great food. We will definitely be coming back to try some different cheesesteaks.
