Homemade, Local and Delicious

At Broad Street Cheesesteaks, we honour a classic that originated in the early 1930s when the humble cheesesteak first emerged as an affordable, flavour-filled alternative for hardworking, blue-collar Philadelphians.

What began as a simple experiment quickly transformed into an icon – one that continued to develop over the decades. The addition of provolone brought a rich, distinctive bite, and later, the smooth, melted cheddar-style topping elevated the sandwich to legendary status. 

While the exact origins of the cheesesteak – its “who” and “when” – remain fiercely debated, one thing is certain: whoever created it gave the world something extraordinary!

Here in Thorold, Ontario, Broad Street Cheesesteaks is proud to uphold that authentic Philadelphia tradition. We stay faithful to the flavours, the history, and the experience that made the cheesesteak famous – serving the real deal, one sandwich at a time.
