- Award-winning and independently owned for decades, Cosmi’s serves some of the best hoagies in Philly. They also earn accolades for their cheesesteaks, no small feat considering the heavy competition just a few blocks away at 9th and Passyunk.
Best Old School Deli Cheesesteak
If you want to step back in time and have a very good cheesesteak, go to Cosmi's. Two card tables in the middle of the deli and everyone is 'welcoming.’ Absolutely feels like you are at your grandmother’s kitchen table and all of your cousins are squeezing by to get their food.
