L & M Variety Store

The place to go for a Philly cheese steak. Don't bother with the tourist traps where you'll pay twice as much for a mediocre sandwich.

One of the best steak sandwiches in Philly, regardless of the very reasonable and cheap price… coming back for sure

A cheesesteak and a large order of cheese fries
10.00 dollars. What a bargain!!
Very good food and service.

$6.50 for a very delicious cheesesteak and <5min wait time beats the $15 and 30 min waits at Angelo’s/John’s. Definitely a hidden gem. Sodas are $1 and everything else is very reasonably priced. Will be coming back for sure!

By far the best and cheapest cheesesteak I've had in philly

Delicious food at a great price, everyone is friendly and they have the best cheesesteaks.

This place is such a hidden gem & has the best Philly cheesesteaks I ever had. The meat is not as much as other well-known locations, but they make up for this because their meat is very well seasoned. It’s even got a little spicy kick too which I loveee. It was so good I brought some to my friends back home in Virginia, popped them in the air fryer & they loved it too. I would die for these cheesesteaks 😩👌🏻. So worth the 3 hour drive

I saw this place on a youtube video touring the best Philly cheesesteak places. This place is awesome. The prices are unbeatable, the taste is sooo good, and the people that work here are so sweet. I will definitely be coming back!!

Want a really good cheesesteak that won't break your bank then this is your place. I've been going to this hidden gem since 2015, the quality and prices are very consistent. Very friendly staff keep the store clean and well stocked. My favorites from here are the cheesesteaks, tuna hoagie (its huge), cheese fries, jalapeño poppers.

Wow, if I had pictures of my wit wiz cheesesteak, I would’ve added them here but I ate it too fast knowing it was good.

Best bang for your buck if you want a good cheesesteak whether it’s Wiz or American cheese. A plain is $4.50 and one with peppers, onions, and mayo is $5. They have other types too plus several different menu options for quick bites like breakfast and lunch items.

Don’t fall for tourist traps like D’alessandros or Jim’s, take action by helping our small local business because this one was totally worth it with regards to the price:quality ratio. FIVE STARS.

Best Corner Store in South Philly. Their Cheesesteaks, Chicken Tenders & Cheese Fries are the best and the staff is nice and friendly here at this corner store too which I grew up going to for food & snacks when I'm in South Philly

Been to many corner stores but this one tops it! I moved 2 years ago from front st to wolf street and live about 2 min away. Great breakfast sandwiches, great cheesesteaks. Everyone there is friendly and extremely clean for corner store in s.philly.

Yeah. It's just like everyone says. Great food. (Literally Had friends visit from outta state and we Had these breakfast sandwiches on our 'must go to' philly food shops to visit) Clean. Decent prices. Cheap ATM. overall good neighborhood corner store.

My love of bodegas continues. $5.50. Good little cheesesteak. The meat appears to have a touch thicker slice and they seem to leave it on the grill touch longer than everybody else, it taste very good. I went rogue and asked for a tiny bit of hot peppers. We have a different concept of ‘tiny bit.’ Hot Peppers added a great flavor to the cheesesteak. $5.50, decent size and good flavor, how can I complain? I wish it had a better cheese melt. There is my complaint. Take out only but very good Cheesesteak experience. Interesting mix of other customers. I ate my cheesesteak in the Craft Hall parking lot waiting for the Christmas Tree lighting event to start.

I miss this place every since I moved to the northeast. Best cheesesteaks and prices around with great and friendly workers. I always have to make a stop for food here every time I visit my parents in south philly. (Which is Every friday) lol. Highly recommended.

One of the best cheesesteaks in Philadelphia. Edit: A must try if you are in South Philly, my favorite cheesesteak in the city and definitely the best bacon, egg, and cheese I’ve had in my whole life.

Very clean in side and out side. the food is really really good .and the price Is really reasonable I will be going back thanks guys

When you think of true philly, you think of corner stores. And this corner store is one of the best for everything a corner store should be. From quick bites to household items, this is the spot to be! Highly recommend.

My family owns the store and the foods very good so 5 stars :)
