Philadelphia is often celebrated for its historical sites, but if you talk to locals, many will tell you the real pride of the city lies in its food culture. From enjoying the latest restaurant opening to grabbing a classic soft pretzel from a street cart, there’s always something delicious to try in Philly. Still, the moment you hear the word “Philadelphia,” chances are you’ll picture a fresh hoagie roll piled high with savory beef and dripping with Cheese Whiz.

Plenty of people will claim they know which spot makes the best cheesesteak, but most will agree that top-tier ingredients set a great sandwich apart. That’s exactly why we at Cleavers Philadelphia rely on 100% USDA domestic ribeye steak.

What Makes Ribeye So Special?

Ribeye comes from the rib section of the cow, right between the sixth and twelfth ribs. This area is famous for its marbling—that fine, web-like layering of fat in the meat. This marbling gives the beef that rich, buttery taste that steak fans can’t get enough of. When you thinly slice ribeye and cook it for a cheesesteak, it stays tender and retains its bold flavor.

Why Our Ribeye Is Different

At Cleavers, we don’t just use any ribeye. Ours comes exclusively from Astra Foods and has a special cut and marinade crafted specifically for us. You won’t find this exact steak anywhere else. We’ve been in the cheesesteak business for over 40 years, and we know that combining a prime cut of beef with a carefully chosen marinade is the key to a cheesesteak that stands out.

Come See for Yourself

For us, it all comes down to starting with the best possible ingredients. When we say we use top-quality ribeye, we mean it—no shortcuts and no compromises. Take one bite of our cheesesteak, and you’ll taste the difference right away. If you happen to be in Philadelphia, swing by Cleavers and treat yourself to a sandwich that shows off everything a real Philly cheesesteak should be. We look forward to showing you why ribeye truly is the gold standard.
