Pappa Geno's

The service here is really good. The young lady was very nice and answered my questions about their Philly cheesesteaks. I ordered the wicked Philly cheesesteak and the fat one I believe it was called the wicked Philly cheesesteak it comes with jalapeños and different type of peppers on it. It was very good. Does have a little kick to it. If you’re a spicy lover, I do recommend it. The fat one has a lot going on. It has mozzarella sticks on it with cheese steak two crispy chicken tenders, and cheese fries all on top of the Philly cheesesteak. Even though it was super good it is a lot of cheese. It was definitely a one time experience with the fat one Philly cheese. I probably wouldn’t get it again, but it wasn’t bad for the price. For both Philly cheesesteaks and one drink, the price came out to $37. The cheesesteaks are huge and you will definitely get filled up.

Favorite cheese-steak place. #3 is the best. Getting expensive. 2 #3's and fries onion rings $46.00 Skip the rings, store bought flour rings with ZERO taste.

A gem on the corner (: Steak so good. Seasoned well. The bread is consistently soft and fresh. Friendly staff. Ample parking, and lots of clean seating. Came back a few times to try different stuff. Portions are a good amount. All the smothered stuff is a little crazy but in the best ways. The hot pepper oil has got a kick for sure.

Oh what a magical place! I’m currently sitting here with my wife singing in joy while stuffing our faces with magical goodness. Super friendly service, amazing food and great tunes. I’ve prayed and the food gods have responded, these “Philly” cheesesteaks are next level! The portions are huge and the flavors are bigger. Don’t let the appearance of the lot it’s located on fool you this is a must have in Houston.

Came to this place last night after hearing that it has the best cheesesteak sandwiches in the loop. The place is nice and relatively clean; the furniture looks like an old timey diner. The lady that serviced use was very nice and the food came out quickly in less than ten minutes, but that may have been because there was only one other customer at the time. We had the food to go, and I've always kind of felt like to-go food is lesser quality but this place has it nailed down right. The sandwiches had very soft, nice bread, the meat was very proportional and tasty, and it was just the right amount. I believe they're 9 inch sandwiches. The fries are tasty, greasy, and toasty. The cheese sticks are thick, but there is significantly more cheese than breading so up to you if you prefer that. Loved it overall. It lives up to the hype.

Got #7, best cheesesteak I've had in Houston. Meat was tasty and well seasoned. The amount of toppings was balanced excellently. Also got the fries and gravy. Super tasty brown gravy. Fries were great as well. Highly recommend!

Food is always great. Fast services as well. The only down side is if you dine in, the restaurant itself has not been cleaned properly in awhile. Major dust!

I had lunch today at Papa Geno’s on 1801 Ella Blvd in Houston, TX, during a break from my open house, and I was absolutely blown away by how good the cheesesteaks were. I got the Wicked Philly (the Number Four), which comes with pickled jalapeños and pickled carrots—one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be coming here every time I’m in the area. The customer service was fantastic, the interior was very clean, and there was plenty of parking in front and on the side of the building. You must come and try the food here as soon as you can!
