Danny & Coop's Cheesesteaks

7.0/10American

AI-generated summary

One thing on the menu, the , and people genuinely argue about it. Fans call it the best they have ever had and point to the sesame roll baked in house. Others say the meat comes out dry and not chopped enough, and that $20 to $25 is too much. Almost everyone agrees to get the hot peppers, and the line thins out later in the day.

  • Unfortunately, I cannot say that I am a fan. I will admit that I have not had Angelo’s, so it may be their style. I have had other Philadelphia cheesesteaks, but I found that the pretzel like bread was not to my taste for a Philly cheesesteak.

  • The meat was closer to medium well, and i thought the peppers were kinda necessary to cut through the meat and cheese. not sure i would have liked it as much without.

  • I’m from Philly and this is one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve had. Cheesier than your usual one and with higher quality meat, great sesame seed roll.

  • The meat was tough and not chopped like a cheesesteak. Also, majorly lacking in cheese compared to cheesteaks in the Philly area.

  • I found Danny & coops to be underwhelming (great bread & cheese but steak was practically flavorless)

  • replying to u/poopship462: I don’t get the Danny and Coop’s love. The meat/cheese in the sandwich I got had the texture of peanut butter and the bread tasted burnt while being too squishy. Federoff’s is way better

    I was leery of Danny and Coop's given all the hype but IMO it lived up to it and more. I found the meat portion generous and didn't feel a peanut butter texture / burnt bread at all.

  • replying to u/personaljournal325: Re. The bread, I truly believe we are in a crunch-demic. For whatever reason, whether it is tiktok influencer mics, maximalist food trends, or whatever, every new sandwich/bread related spot i have been to has been in a crispy crunchy war with each other. I get flamed hard every time I say this because people clearly love some crispy crunchy bread, but I guess we got to all speak our truth here. I want my philly chessesteak on a soft hoagie roll and I'm not goddamn sorry!

    Between the meat and bread this is one of the dryest Philadelphia cheese steaks I've had.

  • That being said, it was Ok. The steak and onions were undercooked, it needed some caramelization, the cheese was mild the whole thing just felt tasted bland.

  • Legit but too much sesame on the rolls. Weird to say but it’s a really strong flavor, wouldn’t be eager to return for that reason.

  • replying to u/Eviana27: Danny and Coops (E Village) lines out the door every day I haven’t tried it but it’s two Philly guys (one happens to be the actor Bradley cooper)

    And it wasn’t that great IMO. Lacked flavor and cheese. Meat pieces were hard to pull apart and not ideal for a sandwich, like they didn’t chop it enough.
