Dalessandro's Steaks

"Many claim Dalessandro's in Roxborough has the best cheesesteak in Philadelphia, and it's not hard to see why. Rolls are absolutely packed with finely chopped rib-eye, the cheese is mixed in just right, and the onions are kept chunky for maximum flavor. Call ahead — or wait in line — to place your order." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

"In a town where cheesesteaks are acceptable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we know options are never limited. But just because Philly is the place to get them, it doesn’t mean you should settle for sandwich mediocrity—and that's what you'll get here. Dalessandro's always has a line around the corner, but it no longer lives up to the hype: the beef is dry, stringy, and poor quality. While every topping here is free, there's no dressing up the low level meat. It's cash-only with an ATM inside, but just skip that line, and the one outside, and head somewhere else." - Candis R.

"In a town where cheesesteaks are acceptable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we know options are never limited. But just because Philly is the place to get them, that doesn’t mean anyone should settle for sandwich mediocrity—and this Roxborough legend does them extremely well. The bread is perfectly soft, and you can load it up with your go-to cheesesteak or buffalo chicken, bleu cheese, and melted American cheese order when you want to switch it up. The spot is cash-only with an ATM inside, but after such a long wait in one line, just make sure to plan ahead to avoid ending up in another." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler

"Their cheesesteaks are fine, and by fine, I mean diced into tiny morsels of peppery meat." - ByKae Lani Palmisano
