Reviews for Shank's Original in Philadelphia, PA

I live in Maryland and visit Philly often. Every time I visit, I have to stop by and get me a Pork Roll sandwich with spinach... ,broccoli rabe, and cheese. Oh, their Philly Steak is nothing to sneeze at especially I had Dellassandro' and Jim's steak(before the fire). Read more

our first time at Shanks! I really enjoyed my chicken cheesesteak with American cheese and light onions. the fries were crispy... but maybe a tad too much seasoning. my mom got the original cheesesteak with American cheese and onions and she enjoyed it aswell. I would definitely come back if I was in the area again! Read more

The Place doesn't look much from outside but the quality of steaks is so good. Bread was fresh, meat was juicy, we even treat... ourselves to milkshakes. They have tables so it's nice to have true Philly lunch looking at the river when the weather is nice.We will be definitely come again. Read more

Stopped by Shanks for my third time and they are constantly good. The steaks was chopped just right, had plenty of flavor and no... gristle. It was juicy, their onions were cooked just right and the steak was evenly spread end to end on a fresh delicious roll.I don?t like a steak that is not well proportioned and has all the ingredients in the middle and just roll at the end. I got thecheesesteak with fried onions, long hots and cooper sharp. Not only are the steaks good but they have a nice view of the riverand you can see ducks and boats go by. The staff was pleasant and prompt and the price was just right. Read more

Had a provolone cheesesteak. Overly chopped meat for my tastes, and I guess they use a sharp provo which was very off putting... to me. One good this is the roll was solid. This place is a shack on the water with nothing really near it. Not worth comingback. Read more

Food is consistently great. They will sell out of certain things on Eagles Home games. But great stop on the way down to the... game!! Read more

I lived in the city for 15 years n always wanted to stop here but never did. Want shame I missed out on all those years of... eating here. We have the pork sandwich now it's all I crave!! Fast service. Good prices! Eat outside n parking!! Read more

I ordered a cheese steak with wiz and fried onions. The service was good. The roll was the best part of the cheese steak. The... steak was not seasoned well at all. There wasn't alot of onions. Just overall lack of flavor. It did not live up to expectationsby far ???? Read more
