I hadn't had a cheesesteak from Ishkabibble's in a while, but I'm so glad I went back. The experience of ordering was exciting, especially on a busy Friday night. Watching the team work was impressive....they have the system down to a science, with great communication to keep orders moving quickly. The cheesesteak itself was delicious. I got mine with provolone, and it had a good amount of meat without being dry. My friend tried a few regular cheesesteaks and a chicken one, and they enjoyed them too. Taking it home and savoring every bite made it even better. a spot worth returning to although it can be kind of a wait.
Their food was really good! Service was nice also! I ordered a Cheesesteak with fried onions with a vanilla milkshake no fries! My husband ordered a Chicken pizza steak with bacon on it, with fries and a fountain drink.. It was pricy! But it was really good! Theypack the cheesesteaks with lots of meat! ;) Our total came up to 52.00 but again it was good!
This restaurant is a must visit in Philadelphia for the best Philly cheesesteak. The food and the service were amazing and what an experience.
It's a small place. Great for pick up. Staff super friendly. Order ready in 20 minutes. It was very fresh and flavorful. Chee steak had good amount of meat with onions. Mozzarella sticks were fresh and delicious. If you don't want to wait an hour at Angelo's this place is a good replacement.
I was visiting Pennsylvania again for business. Our team enjoyed it so much that we decided to get it again. This time, we tried their other location. This location is much bigger. They have plenty of seating. I didn't see pictures on the wall of celebrities. I was impressed again with the cheesesteaks. I ordered a cheesesteak with whizz, provolone, and sweet peppers. I must say it was delicious. The portion size was huge. I learned from my last visit not to get a side. The sandwich alone is enough for a person with a great appetite. The service was extraordinary. They took our oder and quickly prepared it. Then they brought it to our table.
Just to walk on South street and notice that the doors are open and the smell of goodness is creeping into the neighborhood is and ming thing. Walking in to one of my favorite restaurants is something I always looks forward to even if I don't always have the opportunity to do so. I got the chicken cheesesteak one day and went back the next and got the Philly loaded with onions and peppers and mushrooms. Fantastic as always.
It's a cheesesteak. It was ok needed some seasoning IMO even though I asked for salt and pepper on it. I LOVED the onion rings and the Gremlin drink. The service was quick and pleasant. The place was clean enough. I would take a friend again if I was on South Street.
Oh my gosh. This is sandwich perfection. Did you know that Mother's Day was created by a woman's activist IN PHILLY?? Me either, but knowing that now makes me feel super clever about our new tradition of spending Mother's Day eating all the cheesesteaks. This was our second year doing this, and it was something we were looking forward to for weeks ahead of time. I'd seen a couple of YouTube videos of influencers and foodies eating at Ishkibble's, but they rarely get mentioned on the BEST Cheesesteaks in Philly top 10 and thats a darn shame. Ishkibble's is in my TOP TWO, up there with Delissandro's. We got the classic - whiz and grilled onions, and polished it off in record time. It was the best possible start to an all-day eating adventure. We also tried their "gremlin" drink, which is a grape lemonade. It's okay. I bet it would have been incredibly thirst quenching if it had been warm outside. The bathroom has a key, for customers only. It's a single room containing a giant trashcan. So that made getting my chair through the door and to the toilet a huge hokeypokey. Not my favorite dance to do with a full bladder. Plenty of seating inside the shop and service is super quick. That sandwich, though. SPECTACULAR. Don't sleep on Ishkibble's!
