Steve’s Prince of Steaks was established in 1980 by Steven Iliescu on Bustleton Ave in the Oxford Circle section of Northeast Philadelphia. The eatery has since expanded to three additional locations and is popular among locals. The eatery is known for its melted American cheese and does not chop the meat.
In 2015, the Steve’s along with Amoroso’s Bakery broke the world record for longest cheesesteak creating a sandwich measuring approximately 480 ft (146.3 m), overtaking the previous world record set in 2011 of 426 ft.
The eatery is a popular favorite among Philadelphia residents and has received mostly positive reviews from food critics. Philadelphia Magazine awarded Steve’s Prince of Steaks best cheesesteak in Philadelphia in 1992 and 2007. Liz Clayton of Serious Eats described the Steve’s cheesesteaks as “a relationship that works”.
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price tweeted that the cheesesteak eatery “changed his life”.
