No mayo on my shit though. That's disgusting. I'll take mine in chicken though as I don't eat red meat. 
I'll be home next week, so I will check it out. Delasandros is my steak, so it gonna have to be a mighty fire ass steak for me to make a switch, but I am always down to try something new.
I haven't had a cheesestake since maybe before the pandemic. I cut a lot of bullshit outta my diet during 2020. Red meats, bacon, and anything with an overabundance cheese were at the top of that list.
It does look good tho.

I can't do mayo either.

Funny enough I doubled my intake of those things since the pandemic...only live once and you may die alone sucking for air thanks to the Chinese....so bacon.
Carmella steak is ok taste wise, they are way to small. They just dont put enough meat.
Ill give Stellas a shot though.
Donkeys in Camden is another fav spot of mine.
Tourist trap? No Sir! I disagree! Delasandros is my number 1 goto cheese-steak spot.
When I'm in town it's literally majority locals when I go.
Parking can be a beast when it's crowded but that's a small point.
I always wonder what people who live across the street from the park think as customers are constantly parking and leaving all day long.
Dalessandro’s will always be my #1 followed by Jim’s as my #2.
Surprisingly, nobody rocks with Tubby’s that’s directly across the street from Dalessandro’s, by the gas station. They make a pretty decent steak as well. I’m always looking for those lesser known spots that are as good as the popular ones.
As for this one, I’ll give em a try. I’ve never had one with just salt pepper mayo ketchup. Ketchup on a steak feels wrong to me but I’m open to try it.

My only beef with Dlasandros is the no credit card deal. Donkeys in Camden is the same way though.
Tubbys is not bad at all. I like them actually.
I think I would put Johns over Jims though.
Ishkabibles right across from Jims and they dont get love either.
I like John’s steak too and how they cook it very moist. It makes for a good steak but I find it just a tad bit greasier than I’d like it. They’re def in the top 5 for me.
Man I can’t rock with Ishkabibbles. The bread is like a regular ass hero roll you can find everywhere and they don’t season their meat for SHIT. I’m guessing it’s cause they keep kosher but either way, I took two bites and put that thing in the trash. The meat was also really burnt on mine. Overall, that’s a pass for me.
Jersey Mike's Subs has a chicken Philly sub and that muthafucka is delicious!!!No mayo on my shit though. That's disgusting. I'll take mine in chicken though as I don't eat red meat.
Both going on the list.
Nah bruh, that def ain't it.
I remembered I had that shit years ago, my god brother grandfather ordered some cheese steak with Mayo and mustard on it. That shit was fired back then, because they knew how to make cheese steak but that was the only and last time I ever had some shit like that.No mayo on my shit though. That's disgusting. I'll take mine in chicken though as I don't eat red meat.
I find their steak sandwiches to be very dry. At least the one i had. Hoagies are delicious though.
I have. Wasn’t a fan. Their seeded bread is good but the meat and cheeses were complete let downs. They do a cooper sharp which wasn’t seasoned and a whiz that was lacking on the amount of cheese given. (Those are the two steaks I always order everywhere in the city to stay consistent). They rate Angelo’s high as far as steaks go, but I personally don’t see it.
Their pizza however???
Lawd… that shit was FIRE. I applaud them for their pies no doubt. That grandma pie is rivaling places in Brooklyn fr fr
Yeah, I like John's as well, I usually always travel to get their steak because their shit is good.
I'm not the type to got to popular spots.
Yeah, I only fuck w/ that chicken Philly. I tried the steak one and didn't care for it as much as the chicken.I find their steak sandwiches to be very dry. At least the one i had. Hoagies are delicious though.
Shit.... i think I know what I'm doing for lunch
Plus, they got this new big booty chick workin' there now
I heard about those places before but I just never went there, I'm gonna check them out too.
I am a whiz dude for sure !
I also heard great things about the pizza and its on the list.
Same here, I stopped eating red meat cheese steak years ago and switched to chicken cheese steak and never looked back.
I be hearing their steak isn't all that. But people gonna always go to the ones the media tells them about the most which be genos and Jim's.
Lines be long as shit at Jim's especially the one in West Philly, me and my folks tried to get a cheese steak over there but left because the line was too long .
Understood, you're right about that, you're health is important but I don't be eating these cheese steaks everyday, nothing wrong with eating it here and there.
Angelos had a moorestown location for a while the pizza was ridiculous.
The new south Jersey best cheesesteak is Lilos tomato pies!!! Mama's meatballs right across from the Cherry hill mall is fire too.
