While East Passyunk Avenue gets gobs of attention for its ever-growing culinary scene, West Passyunk, the portion of the thoroughfare on the opposite side of Broad Street, is no slouch. Westsiders will gladly direct you to Philip’s, the sandwich shop with the outdoor standing counter that always seems to be feeding someone each time you drive by. What they lack in name recognition and grease-stained pomp and circumstance they make up for in simple, solid steaks, including only-at-Phil’s signatures like the “Old Fashioned,” dressed with grilled tomatoes and long hots. Don’t forget that it’s cash only.
