on Citysearch Dec 21, 2008Great old time pizza and sandwiches to die for!!! Steak sandwiches and hoagies have so much meat on them you can really only eat half. Wel... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 30, 2008Mama's is good, old-fashioned pizza, not your wood or coal-burning oven type with gourmet toppings. The crust isn't the very thin, crispy c... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 15, 2008At Mamas you can have your CFO (cheesesteak fried onions) and eat it too. Order one, eat one-half there and take the other half home for five hours later. Both meals will be more than filling, or split one with a friend,... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 06, 2005My husband grew up eating Mama's and the 1st trip I made to Philly I had to taste this so called "genuine" cheesesteak. I must say I couldnt eat the whole thing due to it's size but it was the best! So much so that we have them... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 08, 2005Okay, I didn't try the pizza which was not expensive but the chesesteak itself was $8. Problem was, it was what my friend calls a 'tweener. Big for one, not big enough for two. At any rate, the cheesesteak was among the... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 07, 2004Recently tried Mama's based on the reviews I saw on city search. I am not big on beef, so I got a chicken cheesesteak...I think the best I ever had. The sandwich was huge, half was more than enough, and loaded with lots of... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 07, 2004As I read the reviews here I shed a tear, because sometimes in the middle of the day I think about Mama's and realize it's so far from California (where I am now). I grew up in Philadelphia and ate here with my Dad and... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 30, 2002There are not many places to which I'll drive an hour for comfort food, but here's one. The food is always flavorful, hot and promptly served. Real steak, real cheese...what a novel idea! The sauces are authentic, not... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 12, 2002If you don't like at lot of real cheese the ask them to go light on the cheese. The sandwich is packed with great tasting chipped steak and lots of cheese. Unless you are a pig (like me), bring a friend to share it or ask them... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 05, 2002I live in Portland, Oregon; but I grew up in Philly. People always talk about Geno's and Pat's on the West Coast... What do they know?!?! Mama's is not only the best, it is PHILLY; it is 'home' and it has been a destination... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 29, 2002I cannot say enough about these steaks. They are the best I have ever eaten. I buy one and it lasts me two days. It is rich in taste and it's well worth the money, not cholesterol friendly, but what a friendly treat.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 12, 2002Mama's is the best cheesesteak I have ever had. The mozzarela cheese is thick and theres plenty of it. Some people don't like that much cheese, but I can't get enough of it. The texture of the fried onions also can't be... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 22, 2002Mama's is an unknown, hardly-ever opened cheesesteak shop. Best tasting, the cheese is fried with the meat. Good stuff, highly recommended (more)
