The best steak shop in the area. It's right next to the airport. It's worth the trip. Cooper sharp cheese on a cheesesteak and sharp prov on my italian hoagie. So good! It's better to call before you get there but they don't always answer the phone. I also like that they allow you to sub the roll to make a wrap.

the best cheesesteak I've ever had and I tried many cheesesteaks when I moved to Philly from Ohio and I can't wait to come back to Leo's best cheesesteak ever!!!!!

First time visiting Philly and this location. Hands down this has to be the best Philly sandwich I've had. It was loaded with meat and toppings which made it worth the price for the amount of quality food. The building had a nice retro feel and made the experience even more enjoyable. The service was decent for how busy it was. I would recommend this joint and would totally be back next time I'm in the city.

Food is great Service is good It's a hole in the wall They have met my expectations every time we have ordered.

One of the best cheesesteaks I've had throughout my life! It matched what I grew up with when visiting family in the Philly area. I'll definitely go out of my way to return to Leo's anytime I'm in Philly!! The service was great -- quick to take my order and typical time for cook time. The ambiance is what I see typical of a northern steak shop. Plenty of space for people to wait for their orders and an abundance of chips and drinks for purchase. Don't think twice, just go!! You'll be do happy you did. As far as parking goes, it is (free) street parking.

The biggest sandwich I've ever seen. At 18 inches, the large sized cheesesteak is more than enough for two people. Can call on the phone and order ahead. Ready within 15 minutes for pickup. Credit cards accepted.

I was in Philadelphia and wanted the best Philly steak and cheese sandwich. So, I came across this spot that was highly reviewed. This is a hole in the wall restaurant that specializes in their signature steak and cheese sandwiches. They also reveal hoagies, burgers, fries and sandwiches there are also a bunch of grab and go canned/bottled drinks, chips, and pastries to choose from. It looks like a small confidence store in front of the counter. The staff there was very friendly. You are given the option to call your order ahead, which I highly recommend. It will save you a lot of time. The restaurant does not have a dining area. There is just an open space where people wait for their food. The area is not the cleanest spot. During warm weather, or if you don't mind sitting out in the cold, there is a small patio area available yo sit and eat. They do not have their own private lot to park, there is only limited street parking available. I did not have an issue finding a spot. Their steak and cheeses come in two sizes, small and large. The large is a whopping 18 inches. That was a bit too much for me so I went with the small, traditional steak and cheese, which was the regular size that I am use to. Ii also got a side of French fries. It took them about 15 to 20 minutes to prepare and it was hot and fresh. There was a ton of food. I had to take my food back to my hotel because as I mention, there was no seating inside and it was way too cold to sit on the patio. It was still warm when I got there and was very delicious. It definitely lived up to all the hype. It was very flavorful and tasty. Also, the meat was over flowing out of the bun. It was stuffed. I highly recommend. This is a nice restaurant to get your steak and cheese fix. It may be off of the beaten path a bit, but is definitely worth the trip.

Fantastic cheesesteaks! We were in Philly for a conference and a friend recommended we go here. These cheesesteaks were delicious. We had one with peppers & onions, one with pickles, peppers & onions, one with peppers and mushrooms, and one plain. They were huge! We wound up sharing with multiple friends back at the conference.
