Ross SheingoldJanuary 13, 2013GREAT cheesesteak! I got an original with cheez whiz, hot and sweet peppers and onions. The hot peppers are VERY hot. Loved it. Fries are also great. Highly recommended. Best cheesesteak in NYC?
Always get the Old Bay fries for a taste of home... And if you want something lighter than the (delicious) cheesesteaks, try the Turkey Hoagie Salad. Also, best onion rings I've had in NYC.
Mike FriedlichMarch 13, 2017Cheesesteak with Whiz is very good but the Italian fries are the best. Perfectly crispy, and is delicious with herbs and cheese on it.
Lenny GalloNovember 7, 2015Philly cheesesteak was surprisingly amazing. Rivals anything you would find in Philly. Definitely a bar joint type place, but if you're here, the Phillys' are a must.
Anuj MathurJanuary 16, 2015While the cheesesteaks take top billing, don't sleep on the yuengling rings (beer battered onion rings) -- they are excellent. Order 'em with a little ranch and hot sauce on the side.
Elizabeth BursteinJuly 28, 2019Love their cheese triangles and salami ham sub w vinegar on such good bread. Brady ordered off ubereats
John WmsonMay 22, 2013Their cheese steak is the best this side of Philly. Their Italian Fries are excellent, and they have Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in bottles... a personal favorite. Great ambiance, too.- If you crave Geno's, Patsy's, or Tony Luke's, this is the place for you. Philly sandwiches are the best, and the bread here is almost as good. Order a cheesesteak whiz wit, or a roast pork with rabe!
Care EMay 14, 2012OMG! Heavenly food at reasonable prices! Cheesesteak with provolone and fried onion a must plus the mozz sticks and Italian fries...delivery is good but the location even better when sports is on. Mm!
Whiz wit. Philly born & raised, I can attest it's the closest you will get in NYC. Although rolls are shipped in daily from Philly, they are more doughy and heavy than the real deal-- my only issue.
Eric CNovember 1, 2015Perfect spot to watch a game. Has nooks to sit with groups. Even if you don't like sports come for a beer with a group
Faisal FahadAugust 4, 2018Loved the Cheesesteak with Whiz and sweet piper.. with a side of Italian fries was so great!!
shorty's soul cavern every Wednesday night $5 Six Points - hours of greasy funk & slippery soul classics and rarities, featuring cuts from James Brown to Sharon Jones and everything in between.
Melissa KiwiAugust 25, 2012Nom Nom Nom Nothing like a Philly cheesesteak in the heart of NYC. Very tasty, friendly service and cool music!
Joe SbordoneMay 29, 2013They have free wifi and Val is excellent. The special with sharp prov and onions was really tasty. Sorry gotta go a beer is calling my name
Serious EatsApril 1, 2013Solid Philly-style cheesesteaks and sandwiches; we're particularly fond of the roast pork and broccoli rabe.
Shortys special is awesome..12 bucks for an amazing steak sammie and a delicious beer. Great beer and bourbon selection. Italian fries are a must!
deestivSeptember 21, 2015Long lines and a bit of a wait, but the cheesesteaks are definitely worth it. As are the bacon and cheese fries!
Caitlin ClementsMay 7, 2017Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Options include $5 beer and $6 well drinks.
Happy Hour beers for $5 and fries for $4. Also great cheeseteak and broccoli rabe sandwiches
Jason O'BrienMarch 19, 2013I'll be honest, I was surprised how fun this place was... staff was accommodating and funny (on a St. Patrick's day) and prices were good.
Kinjil MathurJanuary 11, 2015Go 30 mins before kick off for seats. Chilled out vibe compared to more football watching bars. Vegetarian options are good. Esp sliders.- drew tarvinMay 26, 2015A solid option for a Philly Cheesesteak in NY, though nowhere near as good as what you can get in Philadelphia itself.
Gianna NebbiaSeptember 7, 2018Kitchen was backed up so food took forever BUT excellent cheesesteak and chicken steak. And delicious Bloody Mary
ZenFoodsterJune 10, 2013Fries here are double-fried & have a bit of batter, which make it taste denser than they really are. So, they're not my fave.
Giovanni D'PalmaJune 15, 2015Cheese steaks are a great choice but I really enjoyed their chicken Herod as well.
jena savioNovember 26, 2015Cheesesteaks are pretty solid! Almost like home. Philly sports friendly too ❤👍
The mayor says, "eat everything on the menu. It's all good. The Italian fries are delectable and I don't even like fries.
Noah XifrMarch 16, 2012My Philly friends steared me 2 go Shorty's or go home. Cheesesteak done right! Ask 4 their specialty freakin PROVOLONE CHEEZ WIZ!
Tatiana FrancoApril 5, 2012The sandwiches here are amazing!I'm in love! Lol.And tried the mocha beer! Yummy zzzz. Can't wait to come again.
SecondMarketJuly 24, 2012Get the veggie supreme “cheesesteak” sandwich to-go and eat it in Madison Square Park, just around the corner.
best cheesesteaks in NYC are at Shorty's! this one is bigger than their original Hell's Kitchen location (9th & 42nd)
David DinkevichMay 27, 2014Loved the chipotle beef sandwich! !!! Also try the Rye RD 95 Great beer!!!!
Cole KennedyJanuary 14, 2019I can't appreciate things from Philadelphia since they beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, but this place doesn't entirely suck.
KristiaMarie Pastor BalatbatJanuary 14, 2016Their hot buffalo wings were hotter than we get at the UES location.
Awesome food. Great beer selection. Best cheese steak in the city
Tricia M.October 16, 2015Food is good, service sucks! I noticed 15+ taps asked for a beer menu, she handed me the faded out/somewhat laminated paper from my own table (which I already perused and couldn't decipher half of)
Ehrin FeeleyNovember 13, 2011As a gal who grew up in the Philly area I have had my fair share of cheesesteaks. I have to say the ones here do not dissapoint!
AlexDecember 5, 2011Try d Philly cheese steak. It's there specialty. N it's good. I tried w d provolone n d onions.
Paul MiddlekauffJuly 26, 2013Really good cheesesteak and Italian fries... $20 minimum for credit card
