Through rigorous research and testing, we were able to find a clear winner in the battle of best Philly cheesesteak. While we saw a number of familiar faces, there were also a few restaurants that we’ve never heard of and also some conflicting opinions from our fellow agencies. Before we present the winner, lets take a look at the meaty cheesy contenders.
The Contenders:
- Expressway Productions: Bill Murphy’s Irish Saloon AKA the Saloonery

- Shamlian Creative: Tony Luke’s
- Crossmedia: Dalessandro’s
- Red Tettemer O’Connell + Partners: “We think the best cheesesteaks aren’t found at the cheesesteak shops. Find your favorite neighborhood piece joint, and order one there with extra cheese. Real cheese, not whiz. Never wit whiz.”
- Here’s My Chance: Steve’s Prince of Steaks
- DePersico Group: Dalessandro’s
- Mighty Engine: “Tony Luke’s in South Philly; Sonny’s Original Cheesesteaks right here in the neighborhood.”
