My top 3 cheesesteak spot Shank’s Original. I visited Shank’s on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. There was a couple people there which was great because they were able to turn around our food quickly. I got a steak with extra American. They slipped up and gave me onions on it even though I asked
Being from Chicago, I know good food. I've always heard of "Philly cheesesteaks". I had totally no interest. I was on vacation and driving through Pennsylvania and decided to try one. I make the most AWESOME decisions. I stopped at Shank's Original. Why? I did it because it didn't appear touristy a
It's a small, quaint little spot right off of the main road. It's easy to get in and out. Plenty of parking. Spots to sit and eat. The sandwiches were big and filled well. Delicious flavor! I'm not a fan of chunks of chicken for a Buffalo Chicken Cheese steak, but they were at least small enough to
TLDR: Super convenient location for your on-the-go cheesesteak fix. Try the "Philly Special", which is a cheesesteak with scrapple fries mixed in!
Vibe: 5/5. Located literally right off I-95 near South Philly on the Delaware River, Shanks is an excellent choice for those passing through Philly in n
Despite its unassuming location off Columbus Blvd, Shank’s is a great find for a cheesesteak. I ordered mine with American cheese and with (wit) fried onions. Also ordered a side of fries. The meat was kept moist with the right amount of cheese and the bread did a good job of providing texture. The
Stopped by Shanks for my third time and they are constantly good. The steaks was chopped just right, had plenty of flavor and no gristle. It was juicy, their onions were cooked just right and the steak was evenly spread end to end on a fresh delicious roll. I don’t like a steak that is not well prop
Best cheesesteak EVER!! I had the Philly Special, and it lived up to it's name! I don't want a cheesesteak from anywhere else. Make yourself happy and give this place a try.
our first time at Shanks! I really enjoyed my chicken cheesesteak with American cheese and light onions. the fries were crispy but maybe a tad too much seasoning. my mom got the original cheesesteak with American cheese and onions and she enjoyed it as well. I would definitely come back if I was in
Philly Native!! Moved to DC, so everytime I visit home, I try to hit a new cheesesteak spot. Decided to try this spot out because of my last name - Shanklin. The servers here were super nice!! Cheesesteak was perfect! Seasoning on point! Perfect meat-cheese ratio! Onions PERFECTLY caramelized! One o
Went to get a steak and cheese and they were out of buns so only was able to get fries
Fresh,delicious cheese steak.
Cooked perfectly and served on a fresh roll.
Very meaty sandwich for your money.
Quick,courteous service.
Excellent !
I lived in the city for 15 years n always wanted to stop here but never did. Want shame I missed out on all those years of eating here. We have the pork sandwich now it's all I crave!! Fast service. Good prices! Eat outside n parking!!
I stop a a different ‘steak spot’ every time I’m in the city. Angelos had a 3 block line behind it, found Shanks by accident and decided to stop. Had the ‘special’, bacon cheese steak with sharp copper and hot peppers. Roll was overloaded with meat, best taste! Will be back there again
One of the best sandwich shops in Philadelphia!! Cheesesteaks sliced to order, fresh chicken cutlets, Sarcone’s rolls, you can’t go wrong with anything you order from this old school Phila sandwich shop! I just wish they stayed open later!
Shanks is one of the best cheesesteak spots in Philly in my opinion. I highly recommend you check it out. The food is phenomenal.
Food is consistently great. They will sell out of certain things on Eagles Home games. But great stop on the way down to the game!!
Cheesesteak was quality. Cheese fries were good as well. Service outstanding. Atmosphere is soso, Delaware Ave, old waterfront. Will definitely be going back. Ps. Easy parking in and out
It was awesome I ordered a cheesesteak with scrapple freeze on it with cheese whiz and American phenomenal
