Larry's Steaks • 1956

Larry's Steaks stands as the Home of the Belly Filler in Philadelphia's Wynnefield neighborhood, serving oversized cheesesteaks across from Saint Joseph's University since 1956. Under owner Tony Elebah's stewardship since 1990, this no-frills institution became the Official Cheesesteak of the Philadelphia 76ers and famously shipped cheesesteaks to Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles. Open until 1:30 AM with walls covered in Philly sports memorabilia, Larry's fills its sirloin steaks with grilled onions and cheese, joined by pizza, hoagies, and wings on a massive menu that feeds late-night cravings and St. Joe's students alike.
