Oregon Steaks — Restaurant in Philadelphia

I visited Oregon Steaks June 29, 2025. Time: around 3pm. Temperature was mad hot and humid.

I drove all the way up from Toccoa, Ga (The music birth place of the great "James Brown" and Bobby Byrd's group, the Gospel Starlighters, which eventually evolved into the 1st Famous Flames).

This was my last day in Philly and Oregon Steaks was my last stop on my list of go-to's.

But before I go any further, first and foremost, I would like to apologize to the cashier guy, "Oster," for getting off his break to take my order.

Let me tell you the best part about this guy, not only was he on his break, he didn't catch an attitude at all when he seen me approach the counter.

He immediately went inside with this great attitude, and smile to kill for.

"Oster" took my order in the most proficient and in an enthusiastic way.

While I was waiting for my order, I struck a conversation with him and I began telling him that I saw nothing but good reviews on Google about Oregon Steaks and I just had to try it out for myself and I'm glad I did. I showed him my Georgia driver's license and his facial expression was priceless.

He said, "all the way from Georgia..."

Now about that cheesesteak; I heard Philadelphians say, the real way to have your cheesesteak prepared is to have it on a regular roll with fried onions, ketchup, mayo and with American white cheese and that's how I ordered it.

I didn't immediately eat it when I received my order. I put it in my cooler and brought it back to Georgia. I went to YouTube to see how to reheat a cheesesteak and followed the instructions and bam, it warmed up exactly how the youtube video showed me.

I sliced it in fours, and shared it with family. We all counted down to bite into the sandwich and all of our reactions were the same. That sandwich ingredients hit different to my taste buds. I hate that I only bought one sandwich. But knowing what my taste buds know now, and when I go back to Philly, I'm buying 12 of them, placing them in my cooler and taking them back to Georgia so I can have a cheesesteak party.

Three years ago I visited Philly and I went to a cheesesteak place that starts with a "G" on 9th street and no one liked that sandwich when i brought it back to Georgia. Cheese whizz doesn't belong on a cheesesteak.

When I and my family go back to Philly, Oregon Steaks will be our go to place from now on.

Thank you "Oster" for your great service. Thank you Oregon Steaks for inviting me to a great sandwich.

Now about the price, It was $14 for that 12" sandwich and that $14 was worth it.

When you guys visit this place, it's a covered but open/outside style restaurant and they are open 24 hours.

Oregon Steaks, you guys now have a home in Toccoa, Ga.

Thank you

Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos. So,...

My friend and I stopped here after leaving Live! Casino at 4am. My 2 favorite things about this place are that you get the same exceptional quality of food as well as friendly, accommodating, and professional customer service whether you come in during a lunch rush at 12pm or at 4am when there's been no customers for awhile and the employees have gotten involved in other tasks on their to-do lists. (We all know this one - you go into a Wawa at 1am and the employees are all involved in completing the to-do list for their shift. You're interrupting them, and they let you know it with the rolling of their eyes, the sucking of their teeth, and/or their very short and very snippy answers to any inquiries you may have. They make it painfully obvious that you've just disturbed whatever they were in the middle of and probably the 3rd or 4th person to do so in the last hour, making it almost impossible to complete the task at hand.) Wawa and other 24-hour businesses like it have long forgotten what Oregon Steaks has remembered: the customer disrupting your flow is the number 1 reason you even have a job to interrupt in the first place. Kudos to the late night employees at Oregon Steaks for reinstating my faith that quality, customer service, and convenience DO coexist (Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus!) and do so exceptionally well when employees take pride in their work. Up until running into you 2 guys at Oregon Steaks at 4am on a Sunday night, I was convinced that customer service and quality were things of the past, mere products of fanciful story-telling and old urban legends; an oxymoron, if you will. My hats off to you Oregon Steaks! I put a lot of thought and effort into this much-deserved review as a small token of my appreciation for the impeccable customer service and exceptionally good food my friend and I received every time we've come to Oregon Steaks. I would recommend this place to everybody. If you haven't tried them out yet, you are really missing out on something special. This is not just a convenient place to get a cheese steak or a burger after midnight; it's a nostalgic experience you won't soon forget....

Just place the order if you don’t want to read any further, know that you are in good hands! Oh and you are in good hands for 24 hours a day, that’s right they are open 24 hours a day!!!

I’m usually hesitant writing reviews of places I typically only order delivery from. I feel it’s unfair to judge a restaurant based on if the driver took the scenic route getting here and the foods temp isn’t what it should be, I know I take a chance every time I order delivery that it could happen. Granted missing product, something prepared incorrectly, food/beverages not packaged well etcetera is a different story but you don’t have to worry about any of that from Oregon Steaks. I’ve never had that happened with their delivery. I typically place my orders for them on Grubhub and I don’t know how Oregon steaks does it but my order is usually here in 20-25mins and I live about 20 blocks away! Do I expect it that fast? Will I be mad if it doesn’t arrive in 25mins? No. But even when it arrived in 40mins it tasted just like it did when it arrived in 20mins meaning that they aren’t just making the food and letting it sit until a driver comes and gets it. Everything I have had from them has been good to great....their chicken cutlet sandwiches with sharp provolone and roasted long hots on a seeded roll is one of my favorite in the city and their roast pork and beef are up there with some of the top rated joints in Phila. Give their Florida style inside outs a try, they are the closest I can find to a Panzarotti and they make them fresh! Don’t expect a cheesesteak packed full of previously frozen processed meats like other places, they don’t use those pressed pucks of “chip steak” they slice their meat fresh and it’s laid meticulously on the roll so that every bite of roll has that juicy delicious meat! If you want it chopped just ask when placing your order.

A long winded review but after ordering from them for the past year at least twice a month and not having an issue with one order I figured Oregon Steaks earned...
