Shay’S Steaks

These aren’t your typical Philly cheesesteaks. The quality of the meat was very good, hence the price. They are also significantly smaller than your typical Philly cheesesteak. We ordered the NY strip & the prime rib cheesesteaks, and we both liked the strip more. These 2 sandwiches cost 50$. They charged 1$ for a side of cherry peppers, and not only did they charge me for 2, but only gave me 1. And the 1 had 5 slices of peppers in it, that’s not enough. Come on.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I’m from San Antonio and knew I wanted to try a good cheesesteak so I read so many reviews and there was so many to choose from in the area. I’m glad I chose this place bc they did NOT disappoint. Food was so fresh and never frozen. You can tell in every bite. Owners husband came and made us feel very welcome and even chased us out to give us a shirt to invite us to their new restaurants opening in Vegas and on the way to LA. WE WLL DEFINITELY be going to their locations there soon! 10/10

Outstanding cheesesteak! This is the first cheesesteak place that I’ve been to that offers three choices of premium meats. I went with the NY Strip with cooper sharp. It was freshly made and hot! The meat was tender, flavorful and juicy. I am getting to like seeded rolls, but this one was soft like a regular roll only with seeds. It had a nice texture and I like the fact that they gut their rolls. Also, the hand cut fries were pretty good. Service was good, the place was clean and I appreciated the Manager checking on the customers. I highly recommend giving them a try. True rating 9.4 / 10

First time in philly and figured I should have a philly cheesesteak from the place.It was created. My friend lives here and suggested this place. He's heard of and hadn't had a chance to go yet. The reviews are really good. So we ventured over. Came in cutie, behind the counter with the curly top greeted us and you placed your order on a touchscreen, easy and understandable. I got the Philly cheesesteak classic with peppers and onions and my friend got the Philly cheesesteak classic with the Red pepper jalapeno sauce and we got a basket of fries to share with drinks. This food was so absolutely delicious. The steak season perfectly. The fries season perfectly did not need to do anything to it. Would scarf it down and smile. The male with everything was about 50 bucks worth every single penny.

Amazing experience! The restaurant is clean, the service is excellent, and you can smell the delicious food as soon as you walk in. All the staff made sure we had a great experience, and were extremely kind- visiting from Dallas this was on par with some Texas hospitality standards... if not higher. I had the best cheesesteak of my life, I'll be craving this until my next trip back to Philly. Thank you so much. PS- I heard the chicken nuggets were amazing.

There are a lot of places in Philly to get a delicious cheesesteak, but there is nothing like Shay's. Shay's Steaks is a full-on community highlight. The owner Scott is one of the nicest guys I have ever met and provided us with an above and beyond amazing experience from start to finish. He gave recommendations on his favorites, provided us with some stories of famous people who have visited (very cool picture wall with a lot of local bands!), and truly made us feel welcome. Our favorite was the Philly Special. A little spice and huge flavor. There isn't a freezer in the place and you can tell from the freshness of all the ingredients. These are not "cheap" cheesesteaks, but you are getting your money's worth as the steaks are so stuffed that you need a fork to eat it all. I have visited Shay's 5 times in the last year and look forward to going every time I am in Philly. The staff, the food, and the overall consistency of experience is incredible... Every time is like the first time.

Stopped by for a cheesesteak before the Eagles game, and it did not disappoint! I’d seen the great reviews online and they were spot on. The classic steak was incredible, and you can tell the fries are hand-cut. Plus, the staff was super welcoming, which made the pre-game energy even better. Definitely recommend checking them out!
