This Place Cheesesteaks are Great! I tried the Original #1 w/ added Fries/drink, that come out to about just under $17 bucks! A little Pricey fa My Budget. But, if your a Fry Guy, you're Not gonna be happy w/ the small serving/portion ?, your gonna get. That's why it was rated "3" stars fa Me.

Philly cheese steak on a white hoagie, toasted perfectly with provolone cheese! Highly recommend the #7. Yum! The onion rings are hot and crispy.

I went Philadelphia on a weekend vacation. I knew I was going to have an authentic cheesesteak, so to prepare I looked up lists of the best ones in Houston. Pappa Geno's was at the top of every list, so I went to the nearest one. I had the Wicked Philly and it was awesome! It really made me excited because a cheesesteak in Houston couldn't be better than what you can get in Philly, right? WRONG! I was told by some of my friends who are from Philly to avoid the touristy places like Geno's and Pat's, so on my trip I went to Sonny's Famous Steaks, Sparato's and Campo's. While they were all very good, NONE of them were better than Pappa Geno's! Makes me wish I had waited until after my trip to do the comparison.

Good service here and decent food. I got the number one for takeout and it was fine. It took about ten minutes for the order and the food stayed warm despite me eating it an hour later. It was wrapped well in foil which is what helped the food stay warm. The taste was kind of plain - I should’ve gotten one of the Phillys with more toppings. I wish there was a special sauce or something on top. The meat was good as was the cheese and the sandwich bread for the philly was probably the most comparable to east coast quality in town

Wow!! I just ordered the Philly cheesesteak, cheese sticks and French fries. Everything was cooked perfectly and still hot when delivered to my house. Everything was so good! Highly recommend.

EXCELLENT! First time here! A friend told me how good they were. I got the #1, which is basically steak and cheese on a hoagie bun with sauteed onions and mayo. $9.99. The best philly cheese steaks I've ever had. Wait time was about 10 minutes for 2 philly cheese steaks to go. Will be back!

I give the food five stars but they're purposely not answer the phone, I'm literally right in front of the woman on the register and seeing her reject the calls when all i was trying to do was order before I get there so I can just pick up and go. To the chick behind the register: If you don't wanna work just say so.

Tasty hot sandwich. Not like the cheesesteaks I had in Pennsylvania, but still yummy. In PA, along with peppers, onions, mushrooms and cheese, there was also a marinara sauce that made every cheesesteak perfect. I didn't see a marinara option. But this sandwich is hot, tasty, and fresh. Location looked lonely, but it was clean.

Stopped by since we were in the area and we wanted something different. We had the papa Geno steak and cheese and the #21 which was like a steak burger. Everything was delicious and fresh. They have at every table mustard and hot sauce which what I love to add to my Philly cheese steak. I’m glad the reviews were pretty spot on about this place. Will definitely be back!

My friend and I absolutely LOVE this place. We come every chance we get. There Philly cheesesteak sandwiches are delicious ?
