At “The Cheese Steak Shop”, our passion for creating an authentic Philadelphia cheesesteak began the day Keith and Kathy Layton founded The Cheese Steak Shop in 1982. Although no longer the owners of “The Cheese Steak Shop” Keith and Kathy’s passion for delivering authentic Cheese Steak Sandwiches to our customers still lives within our DNA.
New owners, Dana Huie and Tony Bendana, have over 80 years of combined experience in all facets of the foodservice industry. Using their expertise, Dana and Tony have entirely refreshed The Cheese Steak Shop brand by simplifying the menu to reflect an authentic Philadelphia Cheese Steak Shop, restructuring vendor contracts, resulting in lower food costs, and completing a remodel that features a casual industrial style décor with an emphasis on Philadelphia, where the Cheese Steak Sandwich was invented back in the 1930s.
We use only the highest-quality ingredients—including legendary Philadelphia Amoroso Rolls and B&G sweet and hot cherry peppers—to enhance our commitment to our customers, who have grown accustomed to our legendary cheesesteak sandwich. And don’t forget the authentic Tastykakes (direct from Philadelphia bakeries)—an essential aspect of the cheesesteak restaurant experience! At “The Cheese Steak Shop”, our customers always get their sandwich prepared fresh to order, any way they crave it: with or without grilled onions, with or without American or Provolone cheese, enhanced with hot or sweet peppers—even made with vegetables or chicken in place of the classic steak. No matter how our customers like their cheesesteak sandwich assembled, The Cheese Steak Shop is happy to prepare it that way—including the “Real Philly” way! The Cheese Steak Shop provides a uniquely American experience, and we want you to be an essential part of it!
