When you taste one of Larry's cheesesteaks or chicken cheesesteaks you think you've died and gone to heaven!! Forget the calories, forget the cholesterol, indulge once in a while because it's worth it.
I Found Larry's By Accident

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.

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

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.

ANYONE WHO GIVES THIS PLACE A GOOD REVIEW REALLY HAS - NO - TASEBUDS.
THIS HAD TO BE THE WORST CHEESESTEAK I HAVE - EVER - EATEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT WAS DRY AND HAD - NO!!!!!! FLAVOR. I WAS IN DOWNTOWN PHILLY AND DROVE 10 MILES TO GET THERE ONLY TO BE TREMENDOUSLY DISAPOINTED. I COULD GO TO D'ANGELOS OR QUIZNOS OR ACTUALLY ANYWHERE ELSE AND GET A BETTER SANDWICH!!!!!!!!!!
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!! NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!1
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: DRY AND NO FLAVOR
West Philly's answer to South Philly's cheesesteak.

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.
Not to be missed

This was MY place for cheesesteaks growing up, and I still must have one every time I'm back in Philly. It's MUCH cleaner than it used to be, and the staff is much more business-like, but the food is as good as ever. Chicken cheese steaks here are as good as the regular ones.
- Pros: Food, food, food. Parking
- Cons: NOTHING else nearby worth visiting.
It was EXCELLENT as Usual!!!

We visited Philly on Sunday and Monday and my first stop was, of course, Larry's. I obligingly ordered the Bellyfiller and MMMMM... delicious from Bite One to the Last. Before heading home, we had to return to Larry's one more time for a regular steak. Until next time, Larry's, I Salute You and your wonderful cheesesteaks.
- Pros: Great food, prompt service.

I went to Larry's on the recommendation of a friend and knowing I could get my sandwiches "TO GO" and back safely to D.C. I placed the order for 6-7 subs, all "TO GO". Upon arriving in D.C. and opening the subs the next morning, ALL were soggy, none had the wrap to stop the lettuce & tomato from ruining the bread. VERY, VERY disapointed. I even faxed the restaurant in hopes of hearing from the Manager....NOTHING. Will NOT spend my money there again.
- Pros: Cheap, Average Price in area
- Cons: Non-English speaking, Orders not TO GO
