Steve's Prince of Steaks is a cheesesteak restaurant in Northeast Philadelphia that specializes in traditional sandwich preparation. The establishment makes its sandwiches with thinly sliced rib-eye beef, fresh rolls, and offers a choice of American cheese, provolone, or Cheez Whiz.
The restaurant was founded in 1980 by Steven Iliescu on Bustleton Avenue and became part of Philadelphia's food scene. Over time it expanded to multiple locations while keeping the original preparation methods.
This place follows Philadelphia's food customs with specific ordering terms where guests choose their cheese type and whether to add onions. This local way of ordering is part of how the restaurant connects with the community.
The place operates with reasonable prices and quick service, accepting both cash and cards for payment. You can order for takeout or arrange catering for larger groups.
In 2015 the restaurant partnered with Amoroso's Bakery to create a record-breaking cheesesteak measuring 480 feet long. This achievement remains one of the most memorable moments in the place's history.
