Mark at Van Horn's Steaks in Media, PA (DelCo), has truly mastered the art of crafting an exceptional cheesesteak. The Classic featuring Cooper Sharp cheese, Liscio's seeded roll, shaved ribeye, and small diced onions is nothing short of extraordinary. The first bite is a symphony of flavors and textures, as the succulent ribeye, expertly shaved to perfection, melts in your mouth. The rich and creamy Cooper Sharp cheese adds a delightful sharpness that elevates the overall taste, creating a harmonious blend with the tender meat.
The Liscio's seeded roll, a local favorite, serves as the ideal vessel to contain this masterpiece. The roll strikes a perfect balance between softness and a satisfying crunch, providing a delightful contrast to the juicy meat and melted cheese. Each bite is a journey through layers of flavor, showcasing the expertise and passion that go into creating this cheesesteak.
The small diced onions add a subtle sweetness and crunch, enhancing the overall experience without overpowering the other elements. The attention to detail in the preparation is evident, and it's clear that Van Horn's takes pride in delivering a cheesesteak that not only pays homage to the Philadelphia tradition but also stands out as a culinary gem in its own right.
In addition to the sandwich being fantastic, Mark seems like he is a great guy. If you find yourself in Media, PA, a visit to Van Horn's Steaks is a must for a tasty cheesesteak at an affordable price. Van Horn's Steaks -...
Read moreMakes large steaks, larger than most. Steaks are not bad but not nearly the best. At $18 including long hots I expected more. This is the most I ever paid for a cheesesteak in my entire life however it had such a good reputation I wanted to see if it was worth it. Unfortunately it wasn't. I don't actually see a reason to go back there. If the steaks were 10 or even $12 I probably would go back. I don't think that they should charge extra for peppers. Pat's and Gino's don't. I know that peppers cost money. I think they should be worked into the overall price of all the steaks. They should know a certain percentage of people will order them and figure out what they will cost in advance and then divide that cost amongst all the stesks they sell in a week. I'm not saying at all that this is a bad place, it's not, it's just overpriced...
Read moreI am an Eagles fan who lives in northeast Maryland. I am always looking for great spots to grab a cheesesteak when I can not get to Philadelphia and I have now found my new favorite place to go to consistently!!!! I am a bit confused as to why this place is not booming with business because due to the holy trinity they provide (Great service, Great Quality and Great Prices), Van Horn's Steak delivers hands down! Please come out and support this business because this is a staple in the community that you do not want to see gone! I have not had a classic cheesesteak that can even remotely compares to Angelo's Pizzeria in Philly but this does! Same approach, fresh baked roll, well seasoned/quality ribeye and THOSE ONIONS!!!!! Now...
