Peppe Steaks Co. — Restaurant in Souderton

To start this off, if you're reading reviews here, sort by newest. I''ve been here a few times since they opened, and there were some definite growing pains early on. That said, the owner of this shop is a super nice guy, and has listened to all of the feedback given, and acted upon it. Don't let the super early reviews steer you away from this place, and if you went early on and weren't impressed, go back! Otherwise you're missing out big time here.

Onto the review!

Service: As stated above, the owner of the shop is a super nice guy, and is great to chat with. Ordering is easy at the counter, and the food comes out quick.

The food!

First up, my personal favourite sandwich (not just here, but everywhere): The Roast Pork. This was updated relatively recently from using pork belly to pork shoulder, and a side of au jus is also provided. It's fantastic, the pork is cooked and seasoned well, and the au jus gravy on top brings it up a whole other level. I went for the seeded roll, and got it made as listed on the menu. I'll be honest, at first I was a little suspect of the idea of cooper sharp on top, as I am used to sharp provolone (At Dinic's), but it was fantastic and worked great with the rest of the sandwich. Broccoli rabe was cooked well and wasn't stringy (which I've run into elsewhere), and the long hots added a real nice pop to the sandwich.

Next up: The Cheesesteak: I went for it with fried onions, long hots, and cooper sharp on a seeded roll. They recently changed the meat they use for the cheesesteaks to ribeye, which made a dramatic difference in taste and texture. The meat is super tender and moist, and the cheese is cooked together with the meat, so you wind up with even amounts of cheese in every bite. The long hots were a great addition too, and were suggested by the owner, which I'd recommend as well. The offering of Cooper Sharp is big deal, and adds a huge amount of flavour to this sandwich, I wish this was offered more frequently around the area.

Finally: The Italian hoagie: I ordered it as listed on the menu, with mayo and oil. I really enjoyed this hoagie, the meats were good, and the provolone is on the mild side, but had a nice creaminess that blended well with the salty savoury meats. The tomatoes were thick cut, and fresh tasting, which stood out to me on this, as a lot of places will cut the tomatoes thin and they wind up flavourless and wet.

Atmosphere: The walls are painted with a really cool mural, and the interior is really clean. They also have a walk-up service window, which is a nice touch, and likely great for third fridays here in Souderton.

Other notes: The fries are great, and I believe are the same ones used at the burger shop. The bread used here is from Liscio's, and is offered in both seeded and plain varieties, it works well with all of the...

How this place doesn't have 5 stars, I have no idea.

Let's get this review started.

I've been to over 60 different cheesesteak shops, and Peppe's cracked into my Top 5.

Possibly, even my Top 3.

They use Liscio's rolls, and you have the option of seeded or non-seeded.

The ribeye is top notch, and you get a generous portion.

In the Post Covid era, the price is amongst the best.

And the cheese dispersion is throughout. Unlike many locations where they have it solely on the bottom, or solely on the top.

Every bite was pure bliss.

The Italian hoagie tasted very fresh, and delicious.

But hold on.

The Fried Pork Fries with Cooper Whiz..... ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!

But you want to know what's even better?

Their Fried Mozzarella Wedges. Lights OUT!

On my next trip, I'm going for their Cheesesteak again, but also the Roast Pork sandwich, and their Go Birds sandwich.

Oh wait. Do you know what's even better than the food?

The man, Peppe himself! Extremely passionate about his food, but even more passionate about his customers.

Peppe's Steaks is a location that will always have my support.

Update:

Came back to try the Roast Pork Sandwich.

O.M.G

INSANE!

It is a must try!

They also toasted my cheesesteak roll so it was even more to my liking.

Update:

Came back again to try the Go Birds! Kids loved it!

Everything was delicious as usual, but for some reason, the Roast Pork was a bit light on the filling, which is not the norm here. Hoping it's just a...

If you're looking for the best cheesesteaks in the area, Peppe's Steaks is where you'll find them. From the soft yet toothsome seeded rolls--to the tender, flavorful, and still moist freshly chopped meat (whether shaved ribeye or chicken--we haven't tried the pork)...I can't rave enough about their sandwiches. We've had several other entrees as well: some of their specialty sandwiches, the chicken cutlet, and they've all been delicious. And don't get me started on their French fries with Cooper cheese sauce--the first time I had these, I had to take a moment just to fully experience the pleasure. They're my favorite cheese fries ever. I could drink the cheese sauce--thankfully I haven't become that outrageous...yet. Their fried mozzarella are delightful crispy triangles, lightly breaded outside and fresh, chewy mozz on the inside--dipped in their delicious sauce that's tomato-ey and savory and unctuous... I could go on, but... I just can't recommend them enough! I'm so glad they're bringing such deliciousness to Main Street...
