Tony and Nick's Steaks

"The battle for who has the best cheesesteak will probably never end, but Tony Luke’s is always in the conversation. This South Philly counter has been around for a while, and they have a bunch of locations now, but the one on Oregon is the original. It’s also the best one, despite having the same menu as all of the other locations. You don’t have to come out of your way to eat here (unless you’re doing a comprehensive cheesesteak tour of Philly), but it’s worth taking a walk to for a late-night sandwich after a Phillies game." - Sydney McElwee

"After a game, a Tony Luke’s visit is a tradition for many fans still clad in their team jerseys and hats. One of Philly’s top cheesesteak places, this spot is equally loved for its roast pork sandwiches with broccoli rabe." - Sarah Maiellano

"Tony Luke's has made quite the name for itself, with locations in the double digits far beyond the boundaries of Philly. But head to the original on Oregon Avenue, complete with impossible-to-miss neon signs, for cheesesteaks served on fresh Liscio’s rolls. These sandwiches tend to be less greasy (and less messy) than other iterations, but the flavor is still just right. Given the shop’s location near the ballpark, it’s especially fun to go after a Phillies game. The growing chain also ships frozen sandwiches packed with rib-eye and American cheese right to customers’ doors. Thaw, pop in the oven, and eat." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

"No visit to Philadelphia is complete without savoring this classic American cultural and culinary icon. The neighborhood offering the best options for authentic steak sandwiches is South Philly, where some of the best cheesesteaks are served up at John's Roast Pork ( 14 Snyder Ave. ), Tony Luke's( 39 East Oregon Ave.) , or Jim's Steaks( 400 South St. ). Many visitors head to the corner of Ninth and Passyunk to choose between rival businesses Geno's and Pat's King of Steaks. So, you want "whiz," provolone, or American with that? (If you want to fit in, locals prefer provolone.)"
