I had lunch today at Papa Geno’s on 1801 Ella Blvd in Houston, TX, during a break from my open house, and I was absolutely blown away by how good the cheesesteaks were. I got the Wicked Philly (the Number Four), which comes with pickled jalapeños and pickled carrots—one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be coming here every time I’m in the area. The customer service was fantastic, the interior was very clean, and there was plenty of parking in front and on the side of the building. You must come and try the food here as soon as you can!

We actually ordered our sandwiches delivered. We had 4 different versions and all 4 were amazing. Highly recommend these to delivery. I mean, bread bathed in heat of meat and cheese!!! Oh my!!! Perfection.

The service here is really good. The young lady was very nice and answered my questions about their Philly cheesesteaks. I ordered the wicked Philly cheesesteak and the fat one I believe it was called the wicked Philly cheesesteak it comes with jalapeños and different type of peppers on it. It was very good. Does have a little kick to it. If you’re a spicy lover, I do recommend it. The fat one has a lot going on. It has mozzarella sticks on it with cheese steak two crispy chicken tenders, and cheese fries all on top of the Philly cheesesteak. Even though it was super good it is a lot of cheese. It was definitely a one time experience with the fat one Philly cheese. I probably wouldn’t get it again, but it wasn’t bad for the price. For both Philly cheesesteaks and one drink, the price came

A co-worker told me this is the best Phili in town. I was finally able to swing by when I was on that side of town to grab one to go . Due to rush hour and errands, I was not able to eat it for about 4 hours. This was the best 4-hour-old sandwich I've ever had . I can't wait to have one fresh ! The employee was very nice, helpful and efficient.

A gem on the corner (: Steak so good. Seasoned well. The bread is consistently soft and fresh. Friendly staff. Ample parking, and lots of clean seating. Came back a few times to try different stuff. Portions are a good amount. All the smothered stuff is a little crazy but in the best ways. The hot pepper oil has got a kick for sure.
