In Short
This spot taps into the sizable Old City lunch crowd by focusing on Philly's most famous sandwich. A luncheonette designed mostly for takeout, this narrow space is decorated with vintage pictures of historic Philadelphia. Beef and chicken steaks come with American, provolone or Whiz. Sonny's limited menu means the staff can focus their energies on getting the best possible ingredients for their sandwiches. On the side, get a cup of fries or gooey mozzarella sticks.

Really good and the guy behind the counter was so nice. The concierge at my hotel recommended them. It was a quick walk down market street. There is another place a half block away and I got identical steaks from each place to compare with my husband. This place was much better. And the people at Campos were downright rude.

Wow!!! That's what I always say when I go to Old Town, Philadelphia and bite into one of Sonny's steaks. I have never tasted any better than this place. I'm not sure what it is they do differently, but it really doesn't matter. They are awesome. If you are ever in the vicinity of Old Town, make sure you stop by. You will not be disappointed.

Sonny's seem to put more cheese wiz in their steak, which makes it really good. Olde City is a nice place to visit at nite too. The staff was extremely friendly; it is a nice place to sit and eat. I really like the old posters they hung up instead of the usually celebrities. Overall...good food.
