Hornes Famous Fast Food — Restaurant in Philadelphia

I can't believe I am the first to review Horne's. All of his food is good, but what he does best are cheesesteaks. My wife and I have eaten at pretty much every cheesesteak joint in Philly. Dalessandros? Good to great. Johnny's Hots, also good to great. Pat's and Jim's? Meh, overrated. The list goes on. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the best cheesesteak in Philly is from the beat up, silver spray painted truck tucked in at the end of Ludlow street on Drexel's campus. For starters, they're about 8 bucks, not bad for a good steak. The owner slaps down a 1/2" thick slab of steak on the griddle and chops onions while it sizzles away, then adds the onions to the top and let's it all sear for a while. Yes, I have watched this many times. He chops the meat and onions together, adds salt and pepper then let's the whole mass brown. He puts the cheese on top then tops it all off with chewy, crusty roll along with your additions of choice.

Call before you visit, he is generally open from...

Best cheesesteak in PHL, and yes I have been to Pat’s and Gino’s. Not that there’s anything wrong with those two staples. But Hornes has a bigger sandwich for $10, then Pat’s for $14. Just to give you a comparison. I was passing through the 30th street station where saying there are limited food options is a vast understatement. I walked the 2 blocks (93 degrees) to Hornes and it was well worth it. The proprietor Kevin is a very nice man and now I’m feeling bad that I only tipped him $3. I’ll be back, next time...

I will never eat at this place again. I watched the owner/ cook walking outside of the truck having a conversation with someone. When he finished his conversation he walked into the food truck and didn’t wash his hands or change gloves. And had the nerve to ask for my order. I said to him “ you aren’t going to at least change your gloves?” He responded abruptly “ I guess I’ll see you another time “. He will never see me again! He may see the health department because I definitely am making...
