There is not a more well-known food staple in the Philadelphia area than a classic Philly Cheesesteak. The town of West Chester is blessed to have tons of amazing food options, densely packed into a small area, but today we will be trying out Steaks West Chester. They are best known for their cheesesteaks of course, but also have a variety of hoagies. They also have sides and even salad options along with tons of drinks to choose from. Let’s see if Steaks West Chester lives up to the hype!
The Cheesesteak
It is not hard to make a cheesesteak. But I do think it is hard to make one that clearly stands above the others around it. And Steaks West Chester does just that. Starting off with a nice greeting from the staff behind the register, I already felt welcomed in. I went in to eat at 2:30p.m. and when I got my cheesesteak, the seeded roll felt like it just came out of the oven 10 minutes before I walked in, it was that fresh still. Along with the process of ordering to getting the cheesesteak being under five minutes, which of course is always a plus to get your food quick.
The outside was a nice mix with the roll being crisp but still having bounce. The inside of the roll was soft and plush, holding everything together. Cooper sharp cheese covered itself over the thinly sliced ribeye as everything blended together perfectly. It also helps that the sandwich itself is large and will most likely fill you up by itself. This truly has an argument for the best cheesesteak in West Chester and potentially beyond. And because of that the cheesesteak from Steaks West Chester gets an 9.3/10
The Vibe/Experience
Inside is a pretty minimalistic feel, with there not being much on the walls besides a lone tv and a “GO BIRDS” sign. Which is really funny, because if you are going to have one sign in your restaurant, you might as well make it a “GO BIRDS” sign. Being in Eagles territory and that is just a universal language around here. But in a way, I kind of enjoyed that because all I was thinking about was the food. I wasn’t distracted by much around me. Some people may prefer there to be more going on with the décor. I am pretty indifferent towards the minimalism.
The cheesesteak came out quickly, service was great, and as you can already tell from before it tasted delicious as well. The staff even asked me if I enjoyed it and if everything was alright after I was done eating. Instead of not caring about me anymore after making the sale and giving me the food. And for that, Steaks West Chester gets an 8.6/10 for vibe and experience.
Overall….
The food and experience was amazing and most definitely made a rainy, gloomy day much better. Like I said earlier, West Chester is blessed to have such a dense population of great food spots. And I’d be one to say Steaks West Chester is among one of the better spots in town. They do it so well because it is truly hard to beat the combination of high quality ingredients along with solid customer service from the great staff. Make your way over to Steaks West Chester. Because their cheesesteak is an absolute must-eat and is potentially one of the best dishes in West Chester let alone cheesesteaks.
