Max's Famous Steaks

North Philadelphia, Philadelphia · Sandwiches · $

Tourists fight over Passyunk Avenue, but North Philadelphia has long fed itself at this Germantown Avenue counter, where the long, soft Italian rolls are piled so high the bread nearly disappears. The provolone melts into the chopped steak and fried onions, and the room earned a turn on screen as the date spot in Creed. Come late, order it with onions, and do not plan on finishing it in one sitting.
