  • 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.

  • I thought it was pretty bland and really needed every bit of those hot peppers. The bread is great, the onions are good, cooper sharp is alright basically gussied up American cheese.

  • Danny and coops only has one option and you can get sweet or hot peppers on the side but the steak was cooked to golden brown perfection and everything is incorporated together so perfectly with the cheese and onions.

  • not just a celebrity sticking their name on something- wildly good sandwich, no line

  • Danny and Coop’s - lived up to the hype. Bread was perfection.

  • I've gotten it 3 times so far. It is fantastic, especially love the bread, but I just wish it had more cheese (tastes like it has little to none).

  • Highly recommend splitting one with someone while sitting on a bench in Tompkins square. Very filling and delicious- get the sweet/hot peppers.

  • I recently had the cheesesteak at Danny & Coop’s and a turkey sandwich at Radio Bakery. Both were soooooooooo good.

  • replying to u/fatskippy1: I'm not a cheesesteak expert but the best I've had was from Danny & Coop's

    Get the sandwich and eat it in Tompkins square. I generally split one, they heavyyy.

  • Bread was great. Meat was shit. Dry. Tough bland. Maybe it’s my Philadelphia upbringing, but I was really disappointed given the hype.

  • replying to u/dantesinfernoracket1: Probably the best cheesesteak I've ever had. It was expensive, but it was worth it at $19.

    And it's a damn, damn fine quality cheesesteak.

    Every roll / baguette is a tooth breaker, every pastry cooked bien cuit, every pizza a cracker like crust. The tyranny of the overly crunchy bread must be stopped.

  • replying to u/Jahooodie: Is it expensive though? I struggle with this these days so I don't sound like an old fogey talking about a hamburger for a nickel. NYC minimum wage is $16.50. Ground beef is over $6/lb. And it's a damn, damn fine quality cheesesteak.

    and it is worth it.

  • replying to u/Suitable-Peanut: How have you not heard about Danny & coops yet? It dominated the NYC food news about a month ago. Co owned by Bradley Cooper and the guy that owns Angelo's in Philly. I haven't been yet since I (thankfully) live in Philly now but it looks and sounds absolutely legit.

    Had it a couple weeks back, best damn cheesesteak I’ve ever had.

  • I loved it and thought it was especially good with the spicy peppers. I don't get into cheese steak politics but it was the best cheesesteak I have ever eaten, especially because it had so many sesame seeds.

  • Bread is good but it's not amazing. To be honest I don't even think it's the best cheesesteak in the neighbourhood, let alone the city.

  • replying to u/funnotfunny: I initially wrote these places off as too line-y but I recently had the cheesesteak at Danny & Coop’s and a turkey sandwich at Radio Bakery. Both were soooooooooo good.

    Cheesesteak at Danny & Coops! Seconded!

  • Danny and coops is the best I’ve had.  It’s pricey though. Worth it as a treat.
