What People Are Saying About Larry's Steaks & Hoagies
The Editor

In Short – Open since 1956, Larry's attracts mostly neighborhood locals and St. Joe's students for the ultimate cheesesteak experience. When they're feeling brave--or just really hungry--customers go for the gold: Larry's famous "belly filler." At about 18 inches long and 9 inches in circumference, this extra-large cheesesteak proves that size really does matter. Unlike South Philly steak shops that douse the steaks with Cheese Whiz, Larry's standard is real American.

I Found Larry's By Accident
by TattoodGuy
What a treat! I've done the South Street thing many times, but when I had a convention to attend in the Adams Mark and didn't really want to drive all the way into Philly to grab me a sandwich, I just drove and found Larry's. As authentic as it gets, with out the tourist trap. THIS is what a sandwich shop should be. Old, established, experienced, and excellent. 5 stars all the way.
- Pros: The food
- Cons: None.

Worse taste in philly
by pyro1
The WORSE service (after pats and genos) comes from the staff at Larrys steaks......it felt like they were doing me and my friends a favor for patronize them........the meat was DRY no TASTE to it they had 30 pounds of meat on the griddle (unlike other places in philly where they make their steaks one at time) i will never spent another dime there......i feel sorry for SJU students if thats their only choice around campus.
- Pros: not at all
- Cons: yuk

Best Steaks In Philly
by damned4lifevamp
This place has the best cheese steaks in all Philly, forget those tourist places Geno's and Pat's. Both bad reviews on here don't even make any sense. Of course something will be soggy if you drive all the way back to DC with it.... And I have never gotten a dry steak from there and I live down the street and go all the time. I have also never had a problem with them "not speaking English." They have great service and a nice atmosphere. They even have a giant TV in there for everyone to watch... Not to forget to mention once again.. their cheese steaks.
- Pros: Cheesesteaks
- Cons: Sometimes when the St. Joe's students are around they get annoying. Only reason this didn't get a "5" for ambience.
