“ Flawless cheesesteak, not a fan of this meal but Geno’s is a must try! Steak was properly seasoned and perfectly cooked, melted cheeses and Geno’s signature hot sauce... out of this world. Hands down the best cheesesteaks in PHL. ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ So I don’t know what happened to these other reviewers but all I can attest to is my food. The cheesesteak was exceptional. Fries were not the best but they get a pass. In the airport it’s the best. ”
“ These jawns are perfect for a layover or an anytime snack. Whiz without is where it's at! The counter staff is always friendly, Even when out of counters step up to the counter and say "I'll take a cheese steak sandwich" ”
“ While traveling back from Aruba to PVD we transferred in Philly. We just had to seek out the best Cheesesteak sandwich’s available. Knowing this airport had a Geno’s Steaks we had to find it. The food court between Gates B and C was the place. Definitely not disappointed. A little pricey but what airport cuisine isn’t. Highly recommended! ”
“ There's no way I visit my home & leaving without eating a cheesesteak. I savored every bite. The cheese cheese were like I remember. Having Geno's inside of the airport is the best idea ever. Thank you!! ”
“ The cheese steak was exception. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. Long lines every time I pass by so I knew it would be food. ”
