Gooey Looie's: Your Destination for Delicious Cheesesteaks and Hoagies in Philadelphia

Tried the cheesesteaks here for the first time after a friend recommended them. My boyfriend and I both really enjoyed the food! We were shocked with how much meat there was. I got fried onions and I liked how it wasn’t overpowering. They were also really friendly in here too! Definitely will be back

The large sandwich is bursting with flavor and completely share. I got a small and hubby got the large and neither of us finished. Wonderful owners more than willing to help you firm up a decision on what to get. I’m stuffed with Gooey goodness. The patio seating on a wonderful 75° weather day was an added bonus .

I just had my first authentic Philly cheesesteak at Gooey Looies, and it completely blew me away. If you’re craving a cheesesteak loaded with flavor and all the fixings, this South Philly spot is where you need to go. I got mine with provolone cheese, sautéed onions, and sweet peppers. The peppers had this perfect balance—slightly pickled but still fresh and firm when you bit into them. And let me tell you, the sandwich was massive—it felt like it weighed over a pound! I’m pretty sure if I had an extra hoagie roll on hand, I could’ve made another fully-loaded cheesesteak out of what they gave me. We showed up at 10:15, even though they don’t officially open until 10:30, and they were already open and ready to serve us. No waiting around—just straight to enjoying one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve ever had. Here’s what makes Gooey Looies stand out: High-quality Ingredients: The freshness is undeniable. The meat is tender, the bread is perfect, and every bite is packed with flavor. Huge Portions: They seriously don’t hold back. The cheesesteak is loaded with so much meat and cheese that you could easily make a second sandwich. Customizable Order: Whether you’re into onions, peppers, or provolone (like me), Gooey Looies lets you build your sandwich exactly how you like it. If you are visiting Philadelphia, skip other cheese steak spots and head straight to Gooey Looies. This is the real Philly cheesesteak experience.

Loved this little shop with a real solid Cheesesteak. Highly recommend.

Wow, a local deli that serves huge philly cheese steaks that are GREAT! Order large, either be hungry or share for $14. Talking to a local and she lives near another famous cheese steak place and drives here to get hers. She said also said ,"try their corn beef best in town."

Authentic, local-style Philly cheesesteak — delicious and full of flavor. Just be aware: it’s cash only, so plan ahead!

EXCELLENT!! Their hoagie are worth the travel and $$$ I went into a coma, and I only ate half. and that was my first time ever going and eating it. Do go try them out, you won't be disappointed.

Craving a great tasting Italian hoagie with just enough kick and loads, and I mean LOADS, of meat? Look no further than the renowned deli in South Philly - Gooey Looie’s! They are also known for their fantastic and also bursting at the seams cheesesteaks. One is definitely enough to feed two people. There is no indoor seating (I think the stools are there more for waiting from r the order), but plenty of outdoor seating in the plaza. Or you can do what I did and bring it home. So…where is this iconic place of deliciousness? Tucked in Pennsport Plaza with its own parking off of McClellen Street and E. Moyamensing Avenue. In short, if you are visiting IKEA or any of the stores in the immediate area, plug Gooey Looie’s into your GPS for an amazing lunch. #trustkj
