Pat’s King of Steaks is gearing up for its grand reopening on Wednesday, May 8, following recent renovations that promise a fresh look and exciting additions to the menu. After months of anticipation, customers can once again indulge in the iconic flavors of Philadelphia’s beloved cheesesteak joint, now with a few enticing twists.

Culinary Delights at Pat’s King of Steaks

In a bid to cater to early risers and breakfast enthusiasts, Pat’s is introducing a brand-new breakfast menu, available daily from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. Among the offerings are mouthwatering egg sandwiches featuring bacon, pork roll, sausage, or steak, accompanied by options for cheese and hash browns to kickstart the day with a hearty meal.

Staying true to its roots, Pat’s breakfast sandwiches will be served on Aversa’s Bakery rolls, maintaining the signature taste and quality that patrons have come to expect. Just like the classic cheesesteaks, these morning delights can be customized with or without onions, ensuring that every order is tailored to individual preferences.

Expanding the Menu

In a historic move, Pat’s is expanding its menu to include a chicken cheesesteak for the first time in its storied history. This addition reflects the restaurant’s commitment to innovation while honoring its tradition of serving up delicious, satisfying fare. The reopening marks the culmination of several months of extensive renovations, during which the original location of the cheesesteak shop remained closed. However, to ensure that customers could still enjoy their favorite Philly flavors, Pat’s operated out of a 22-foot food truck, maintaining its round-the-clock service seven days a week.

Honoring Tradition

Established by Pat Olivieri, the inventor of the cheesesteak, back in 1930, Pat’s King of Steaks holds a special place in Philadelphia’s culinary history. What began as a humble hot-dog stand at the Italian Market in South Philly evolved into an iconic eatery beloved by locals and visitors alike. Approaching its centennial milestone, Pat’s remains dedicated to preserving its legacy while embracing change. With a brand-new kitchen and a refreshed outlook, the restaurant is poised to embark on its next chapter of success.

Welcoming the Future

Owner Frank Olivieri, representing the third generation of the family-owned business, expresses excitement about the renovations and the opportunity to introduce patrons to the new offerings. With a loyal team and a supportive community, Pat’s looks forward to welcoming customers old and new as it prepares to celebrate nearly a century of serving up Philadelphia’s favorite cheesesteaks.
