Review Gooey Looies - Philadelphia

Jamiylah Miller

It was a trip down memory lane for me going to Gooey Looies! I remember the days my dad would take my sister and I to order hoagies before going to a Phillies game. The hoagies are still fresh and delicious, and they still pile on enough meat that you can make a second sandwich😂! It's a small shop with big sandwiches and friendly service.

Really good cheesesteak for a great price. It was meaty, messy, filling, it took me a minute to eat… exactly what I want when eating a cheesesteak… Everybody inside was friendly. I hadn’t heard anybody mention this when asking what’s the best cheesesteak place in Philly and it might be up there but I want to try a few more places before deciding. I’ve tried other cheesesteaks and this is top 10 in Philly. Maybe even higher, I’ll put together a list.

Been coming here for 23 years since 2000 I come maybe 3 times a year. Food never disappoints I get the same thing all the time Corn Beef Special but they have other good food. Good thing is since the pandemic they never reduce the food quantity

Love them. I need to start ordering small sandwiches, though. They are to packed with meat. None of us have finished a large in one sitting.

This is one amazing place. It remains one of my favorite places to grab a to go lunch in South Philly. It's tucked away like a hidden gem that only the locals would know of its delicious sandwiches. If you can find it, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend.

Got the Italian hoagie today for the first time. This is an absolutely solid sandwich. Look at that photo. That’s a good portion of meat. Staff was super friendly. I need to come back and get a cheesesteak

I love Gooey Louies!! They have the best corn beefs specials around. I admit I love their liver wurst on rye. All their sandwiches are awesome. They also have a variety of drinks & things you forgot at Shoprite. Oh and the guys behind the counter are funny.

1st philly sandwhich recommend by my Lyft driver as I was a tourist when I was there: it was very yummy, Wish I would have tried more sandwiches! also thank you John for taking the pictures with us (:

OMG. Authentic chopped steak cooked as we waited. Lots of fresh toppings. Traditional with sauted onions, cheese and mayo was best Philly yet. To go and delivery. We ate them hot in the courtyard.

Chris Love

Steak is PACKED with meat!! Great price!! One thing Is the seasoning🤔 it could use a little more! Other than that.. This is definitely the best steak in South Philly....

Scott Wykoff

Absolutely love this place. A national treasure. The corned beef special is the bomb.

My comrade came from Indianapolis and wanted to know where was the best Cheesesteaks in Philly, and of course I said; “Gooey Looies!”...and I must say that they weren’t disappointed. They ate at all the so-called “best” places in Philly. They said they have also eaten Cheesesteaks from all over the U.S.A. (they’re truck drivers), and they have officially stated that “Gooey Looies” has the BEST Cheesesteaks not only in Philly, but in the whole country! If you come to Philly, please check this place out...oh, and you can thank me later!

Good food, small environment. Wish they made chicken cheese steaks. Turkey and cheese hoagie was good. A lot of meat.

Frank Harris

Nice little mom and pop type of sandwich shop, they seem like good people. The lady working the front actually came outside and got us and told us it was cool to come on in so we didn’t have to wait in the cold. The steak philly was official too, go check them out.

I grew up in West Philly. As a young man, I would go to Louie's to get my steaks. I moved away at 18 to join the Navy. Every time I came back home to visit, I would stop at Louie's for a steak and hoagie. I just hit 30 years of Active duty military service, and to this day, I will STILL make a trip to Louie's.... now, sometimes with my kids, or a shipmate...just to get that hoagie and steak fix. If you're an outsider not from Philly, or even just someone from the city looking for a good or different sandwich spot....look no further! Louie's is that spot that makes coming home always special.

Amazing quality sandwich and super filling. I definitely can eat this sandwich twice. The flavors are on point, and the meat is so juicy. The bread is so fresh and perfectly holds up with the moisture production of the flavor explosion of a sandwich. Unfortunately, places like this don't get the credit the deserve. Those tourist traps of other philly cheesesteak locations don't hold a candle. Hidden Gems are always better!
