Ignore the bad reviews from uninformed consumers and jealous competitors. I always have a great experience here despite the lower class neighborhood and low-end ingredients. Ironically, I was a chef at high-end restaurants.
You must buy in person and not rely on delivery, which will result in leaking grease, cold food, mangled ingredients, and disappointment.
The cheesesteaks have cheap, imported beef that needs to be chopped into thousands of pieces in order to be made edible. But they are delicious nonetheless.
The Italian rolls are fantastic. All of the cheeses used are tasty. I always get grilled onions on the side so that I can add them as desired.
The fries are scrumptious despite being pre-frozen. Most of the other food is also yummy.
I always park close to Kensington Avenue on nearby East Oakdale Street, and walk the mere half block. It is a one way street, so you will need to enter from Jasper Street, which is also one way.
The neighborhood is not the nicest but is on the way up, maybe way up to the point of gentrification. As evidence thereof, check out the beautiful U-Haul building across the street.
The service is fast and friendly. The prices are quite possibly the lowest in the city considering the gargantuan amount of food received. I always enjoy the food and, believe it or not, the ambience. I have fun on steroids. One Pound Cheesesteaks is a Philly legend for a reason.
If you navigate the back roads when I-95 is jammed, as I do, you absolutely must stop at this Philly legend.
You are not going to receive the high-end ribeye sold at the pricier steak shops like P*** and T*** L****. But if you like delicious blue collar food that will not break the bank, this is your joint.
Flavorful masterpiece at an unbeatable price! This Philly cheesesteak delivers a great taste without emptying your wallet. From the succulent beef to the generous cheese, every bite is a savory celebration. Five stars for a delicious experience that's friendly on the pocket!
I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. One of the most slept on and under rated steak shop in Philly. This was a great place when it was Lucky's and it is still consistent. Keep going to Pat's and Gino's for your tourist sandwich. Cheese steaks are here.
One pound cheesesteak really lives up to its name, or even surpasses it! Cheesesteak that I had was delicious. Perfect amount of everything! Perfect amount of meat, fried onions and Mayo ! And it definitely was more then one pound !!!
Very nice Cheesesteak joint in the heart of Kensington. Owner is a great guy and very welcoming, food is great and the service is excellent. I highly recommend!

The food and service was excellent. Brandon did a great job and was very professional. I will come back because of his service.
We ordered the "small" cheesesteak with peppers and onions. It was a foot long sandwich stuffed with goodness. I would have preferred more cheese. My husband and I split this with a small cheese fries. Plenty of food for the two of us. Great price and they made it fast. Very hot and glad we stopped by!
Service was great. Brandon deserves a raise.
Very good food, one of the best cheesesteaks I got in Philly!
The best Philly sandwich for a great price. I ate one half and the second half the next day. Reheated it still gives the same freshly cooked taste. 5 stars
Been going here for years and I love it! But their cheese steaks have gotten a lot thinner than they used to be!
