Niko’s Steaks

I’ve been coming to Niko’s for a while now, and at this point it’s my go-to spot whenever I want a real cheesesteak. The quality is always consistent — fresh bread, perfectly seasoned meat, and just the right balance of toppings every single time. You can tell they actually care about what they’re serving. If you’re looking for a cheesesteak that hits every time, this is the place. Highly recommend.

Niko’s Steaks sits in a three-store strip mall in Clifton Heights. They have parking, inside seating, and a bathroom — three things you know I like. Sidebar: I’ve got a fun’ish story from about 50 years ago involving the intersection right in front of Niko’s. That’s a story for another day. I ordered my usual cheesesteak with fried onions on a seeded roll. While ordering, I watched them make another cheesesteak. I liked that they cover the meat while it cooks. I was a little concerned watching them layer and fold the meat together as it cooked. I took my cheesesteak over to Ship Bottom Brewery Blendary and Barrel House in Swarthmore. When I unwrapped it, I could tell immediately this was going to be the tale of two cheesesteaks. Top bite: meat and roll. Bottom bite: cheese and fried onions

I'm from South Philly, so I'm pretty familiar with a good cheesesteak. I was having a hard time finding a good one that wasn't cooked with frozen chicken slices up here, and I decided to try Niko's out. Man, am I glad I did—the chicken is fresh, not frozen! They cook it to perfection and offer a seeded roll. This is my new go-to spot for a chicken cheesesteak. Do yourself a favor and try them out; you won't be disappointed.

Order a mushroom cheese steak from here and as always they did not disappoint. I get double potion of steak becuase I like mine hefty even with that it was only 20 dollars. The seeded roll is the star of the show and that's saying a lot becuase the steak is seasoned well and its a good quality of steak. Best cheese steak in delco and it rivals your favorite spot in Philly (I've been to them all)

Decided to try after seeing some really great reviews. Boy, those reviews did not disappoint! Excellent cheese steak. I especially like that the meat has a coarse chop as opposed to a fine chop. Fine chop meat is like groind beef. Great roll, too. Perfect ratio of bread to meat to cheese. Will definitely be back!
