I gotta say, this is some really good airport cheesesteak! Was here on a Monday in late April 2025, and got some seriously good food and service. Better here than downtown Philly at a regular restaurant. Served hot and meat was tender and juicy. Fries hot and crisp. Best airport food.
I got the cheese steak with cheese wiz and mushrooms, fries and a drink. Totaled to just over $30 for lunch. Kind of high price but the sandwich was decent. Service was good and they popped out the cheese steaks fast. I disagree with being charged the wage and benefits surcharge but you're not warned about that before you order anywhere, so can't do much about that. I'd get one again while in this airport given the other options.
Geno’s Cheesteaks to me is the best Cheesesteak vendor in the Philadelphia Airport - far better than it’s competitor Jim’s Steaks. Tasty (though often precooked steak meat when busy - that wasn’t good!), cheese and the roll is also great. Staff was friendly (the 2 guys making the food) except for the lady at the register who couldn’t manage to smile. Friendly service goes a long way!!! They do get slammed when busy so allow time to wait if busy. Totally worth it but is what it is.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
