Reviews For The Original Barry's Cheesesteaks

I ordered the chicken wings. Plain and the spicy. They were crispy and good. The spicy were not spicy at all to me but still good with the ranch dressing. Cheesesteak (regular) was not bad either. It was enough to feed two people - meaty. Combo prices were reasonably good.

5 stars isn't enough for how amazing this place is 10. Greated with smiles and amazing food. The owner even went out of his way to have a conversation with my 3 year old (who will talk his ear off) just to make sure she had everything she needed. We drove in from northern Illinois and im telling you this is a spot to stop at everyrime we are in town.

This place is new to Valley station, although it’s been around for a while in other locations. The location in Valley Station is an old hamburger place not much updating his went on in this location. Barry’s cheesesteaks are great. I can’t wait to go back and try the chicken. The fries were good and hot. The cheesesteaks were delicious. We will be back. Good ketchup too lol

The food was great! And for the amount of food you get the price is great to! Definitely a diamond in valley station..

Chili cheese fries very tasty. Cheeseburger had a good taste. Cheese steak, I was very impressed with the cheese and load of meat. I could only eat half the sandwich. I'll be back to try different items for my next visit. GOOD JOB BARRY'S! POLITE STAFF IS A PLUS, THANK YOU!!!

Food is made to order. As always, friendly service, great fast food, good prices for the portion sizes. My wife and I had our order prepared by the man himself.. Mr. Barry's Philly! He has trained his staff well. When isn't there we still get the same courtesy and great delicious food. Thank you!!! God Bless!

All of the hype about this place is legit. This is the best cheese steak I have had. The pepper cheese steak with hot peppers and a chili cheese fry is my go to order and it is always excellent. The roll used for the Philly is always perfect. And the staff working the front counter are always super nice.
