Cheese Steak and a Beer

by phillyjazz at Citysearch

Don't let the D'Allesandros partisans fool you. They haven't eaten there in years and are living on past memories.

Chubby's serves steaks TO ORDER, not from a 20-pound mound of steamed gray meat. Onions are chopped a little large for some tastes. Steaks are right on, though, and being able to order a cold beer makes it all the better. Decent fries too !

• Pros: They server ice cold beer and rib eye steaks
• Cons: Rep is not as good as D'Allesandro's

Good food, well priced, good service

I started going to Chubby's because dalessandro's, across the street isn't open on Sundays, doesn't take plastic and never has parking. Once I tried their food, I was hooked. The steaks are perfect and so are the hoagies and the fries. They are never skimpy and the service is fast and friendly. There's plenty of parking and they are open until the wee hours of the morning. Also, while you wait, you can have a beer and read the city paper- what more can you want?

• Pros: you get good food with no hassle
• Cons: haven't come across any negatives and I go all the time.

Those onions and pepers, yeah!

My son flew into philly and heard about Chubby's from a girl firend so we searched it out. We all had their chees steaks with. Like the fact that the onions and pepers are not chopped up with the steak, That with the excellent steak they used is flavorful. Not greasy as some other joints can get. I would have liked a little more cheese in mine. We tried the cheese steaks across the street and they were not as good as Chubby's. We are from Jersey so don't get to Philly too often but any time I'm in the area looking for a great cheese steak I know where to go and I'll recommend them to anyone.

• Pros: Great Cheese Steaks, serves beer and decent parking.
• Cons: It's a chesse steak joint! not a great part of town.
