Sonny's Famous Steaks

Picture this. You are in Philadelphia, have to get somewhere on time, but you were in a rush. You’re super hungry and you need to get a decent Philly cheesesteak to get about your day. This is a place to get a decent Philly cheesesteak that hits the spot and keeps you going. Is it the best Philly cheesesteak you’re gonna get? Maybe not. But, are you gonna get something That’s very reliable and tastes great nine times out of 10. Yes you are.

Yep, they are good, but not the best. I was visiting Philly and a local friend recommended this place. I’ve had the Chicken cheesesteak adding some onions and bell peppers. I’ve also had some cheese fries. Tbh, the cheesesteak was good. No complaints. But it’s not special, as everyone claim it to be. My friend had the original cheesesteak and he had the same thing to add. It was definitely filling. The cheese fries were decent, not much to comment on. The prices seem reasonable, not too expensive. The people who work here are so discourteous, for some reason. It was my first time here and I was scouting the menu, and the employee was visibly upset because I was taking 5 more seconds to think. The way they talk also seems so nonchalant.

We asked a police Officer in the morning, when we Picked up our breakfast, where he would go for a philly cheesesteak, but no tourist stuff, only where he would go as citizen. He gave us the recommendation to go to Sonny's. And yes, that was really good food. Would go there everytime in the future again.

On our way back from New York, we stopped at Philadelphia for Philly cheesesteak and this place definitely delivered my craving. The cheez whiz was on point, the proper amount of meat and the bread was a perfect mix of chewy & soft. The onion ring did lack flavor but with cheesesteak and fountain drink, it came out okay. Even though we came really close to closing time, the staff definitely took care of our food and other issues (the soda fountain was out of syrup) properly. Honestly, if you're in the mood for Philly cheese steak this is a solid contender. Try it out it's definitely worth stopping by.
