Carmen’s Famous Italian Hoagies and Cheesesteaks (Philadelphia, PA)

51 N 12th St, Philadelphia, PA 19107

Carmen’s is the most famous cheesesteak place in the Reading Terminal Market in downtown Philadelphia. It has an incredibly rigid automated system, which makes ordering very slow. Fortunately this is made up by fast service. They by and large serve cheesesteaks, freshly made on the griddle.

I get a Steak Sandwich with onions and hot peppers. It comes on a nice fresh hoagie and the steak is well seasoned and tender. I should have asked for regular peppers too, as that would have added some more flavor. Still, the steak sandwich tasted very good.

VERDICT: 90/100

One of best steak sandwiches I have eaten.
