As far as experiencing my first authentic Philadelphia cheese steak I can say that I was very much impressed. Delicious in its entirety, and the line out the door put paid to the quality of this establishment. I would gladly stop by again if I ever returned to Philly!

I would say this was the best Philly steak I’ve ever had. The place still miss some touch but the food is as good as it gets. The peppers are amazing. Don’t leave without the onion rings. Amazing.

Got a loaded cheesesteak with onion rings. Service was fast and friendly. Loved the atmosphere and energy. I really don’t get the love affair with this sandwich, they are dry. It’s alright but (and I am sure I am saying something that is probably taboo) couldn’t you cook it less and serve pink so it has some moisture?

One of the most recommended cheesesteaks in town which seemed true as the place was pretty busy yet the service was quick and precise. Even the restroom was well decorated.

You don’t have to go to the original Philly cheese steak shops to get the best Philly cheese steak, in fact, you shouldn’t. Though they have history, it’s been very commercialized. I suggest somewhere like sonny where it’s not too commercial based and just have great whiz and steak.

Wanted a classic, famous cheesesteak & that’s what we got! I can’t speak to what Genos or Pats are like but holy moly Sonny’s blew me away.

Now this is a cheesesteak! I was in the city for 2 days and this is the first place I tried. It was amazing and exactly what I was hoping for. The line was out of the door (that’s a good sign) and I was only in line for like 15 minutes max. Must try for that authentic experience.

Cheesesteak is fine, but its bread crumbed onion rings are outstanding. If they serve Ranch sauce with the rings, then it will be perfect.

Pretty good cheese steak. We got it with cheese whiz, onions and peppers. We tried one other place in reading terminal market during our visit and I liked the other one better than this but I still liked this one.

Long line that moved quickly. Service was efficient more so than friendly. Yummy cheese steaks. Waited longer to get the food than we did to order, but it was worth it! Not tons of seating but there are a handful of tables and counter/stool seating.
