This used to be my go-to place for to-go cheesesteaks and I've ordered there at least a twenty times but stopped a few years ago. I find the owner very intimidating and obviously annoyed at everyone (customers and employes) and I was just picking up an order I phoned in. Am I alone on this? I've just read the breakfast sandwich reviews so I may have to try those. The cheesesteaks are good. Mozarella stick are amazing.

This place makes a great cheesesteak. I've tried them twice and they were made as ordered. These sandwiches were overflowing with meat, not to greasy, and were quite tasty. The inside of the store looks like it hasn't been remodeled in the last 50 years. I think it adds character to the place. It has a limited menu And I imagine everything else is good. I'm sure next time I'll just get another cheesesteak.

Annas is the third, in what I consider to be the Folsom Cheesesteak trifecta after Mike and Emmas, and Franks ( I can't help but think that all these places are named after grandparents.) Unfortunately , I'd also place it 3rd in rank as well. It's not that Annas makes a bad cheesesteak. It was certainly plentiful, a good sandwich for your buck. Speed and staff were also great. Like Mike and Emmas, I imagined that the grand dame making the steaks was Anna herself. Good points aside, the cheesesteak was just ok. Possibly better than average but not great compared to the nearby competition. The roll was a little too soft and soggy. The meat, while plentiful lacked the savory flavor I was hoping for. This being said, if you live in Delco, give it a shot. It obviously has a good fan base even without my stamp if approval. While it's not really a destination suburban sandwich shop, like Mike and Emmas or A Cut Above, it will give you a hearty filling lunch. As long as the grandparents of Folsom people open steak shops, I'll be here to check them out.

I like the atmosphere, the workers and owner. Best place to get a cheese steak that you need a fork to eat it.

Anna's has the BEST cheesesteaks in Delaware County! You get your moneys worth! They are heaping with meat! The cheese fries and onion rings are delicious too! I've had chicken cheesteaks there too and they are awesome! I've never had a problem with anyone when I've gone in there. Everyone, including the owner is always very friendly and service is quick!

Anna's might be the best sandwich shop in Delco. They definitely have that private, small business feel when you walk in. They don't take credit cards, as you might expect from such a shop. But don't let that deter you, it's worth the trip to the ATM. Every sandwich I've had here is very good, and very generously stuffed with meats, but I'm particularly fond of the buffalo chicken cheesesteak. It's got just the right amount of spiciness, and isn't overpowered with bleu cheese. The rolls Anna's uses are excellent, and the staff is very friendly. One word of warning - the first time you come, you might think "I'm hungry so I'm going to order a large!" Yea...made that mistake. A large is about 2 ft long. It's a great value! But not really intended for one person.

Great breakfast sandwiches served all day on mini hoagie rolls. I suggest the sausage egg and cheese by the bacon or ham or steak egg and cheese are Lunch is just as good. Their steaks and hoagies are great. They offer burgers and fries. The staff is friendly and nice but I would suggest calling an order in unless you are eating there. Not open until 11 on Monday and Tuesday is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars.

Haven't been to Anna's in a LONG time but stopped in with some co-workers last week and must say that it might have been the best cheese-steak (along with Leo's in Folcroft) I've ever had in Delco. I realize they are legendary for their breakfast sandwiches but their cheese-steaks are also great.

Does Anna's make a solid cheesesteak and/or hoagie? Absolutely. Is it the best I've ever had? Nope! I've heard all sorts of great stuff about Anna's from friends and fellow Yelpers, so I had really high expectations when we ordered from here last night. The boy and I decided to split an Italian hoagie, a cheesesteak with fried onions and mushrooms, and some cheese fries. I ran over to pick up the order and rushed home with the sweet scents of potential delicious coming from the bag of goodies. My first impressions: the cheesesteak was packed full of meat, but looked a little dry (and it was); the hoagie looked a little sad (could have used more meat); the fries looked like fries (and were pretty good). Don't get me wrong, both sandwiches tasted delicious and the rolls were perfect, but I was just expecting a little more from the hype I had heard beforehand. Sadly Anna's won't be my first choice when searching for the perfect cheesesteak/hoagie in the future, but I will definitely be back to try out the breakfast sandwiches!

Came back to town late and wanted cheesesteaks. My usual dining partners and I don't agree on where to get the best one so we end up trying new ones like our visit to Anna's. As stated by previous reviewers, the sandwiches are large. The ratios are wrong--- amount of meat is way too much for the roll and the cheese used. The meat is a bit more grisly than other places - found a lot of it stuck in my teeth. And yes, they need to learn to use the the salt and pepper. Service was fine. Parking is limited to 2 spaces and plenty of yellow poles prevent you from parking on the sidewalk. It's in an old building so it is not handicapped accessible.

The sandwiches at Anna's are HUGE. If you can legitimately consume a large, I feel bad for your blood, as your cholesterol levels are out of control. It's man-vs-food type portions here. That being said, I got a cheesesteak & the meat was a dry and bit under-seasoned...there are salt & pepper shakers on the table, and you'll need them. Anna's is an affordable, family-run joint, and I'll be back to try one of their Italian subs, as their bread was solid...but I don't think I'll do a cheese steak again. Better options exist in Philly, so if I'm going for a month or two off my life, I'm going for gold.

Delicious and inexpensive hoagies!!

What's funny is that in all the years I have lived in Delco, and in all the years I have known about Anna's, I have never once had one of their hoagies or cheesesteaks. I suppose that is because I have my own places I am loyal to in that regard. Also, I don't get over here that often. It had been a while since my last visit here when I decided to stop in today. So why the 5 star review? Quite simply put, their breakfast sandwiches are that good. They've been there for a long time. The grill is well seasoned. And they just know what they are doing. A bacon, egg, and cheese on an Italian hoagie roll from Anna's is sheer perfection. I know why I don't go there often enough. If I did, my cholesterol would be through the roof. Even if I don't go often enough, it's comforting to me to know they are always there if I want them.

Anna's has the best cheesesteaks and hoagies. I have eaten here my whole life. A few people have commented on the personality of the owner. He is who he is, has a sharp, dry sense of humor and knows all his regulars by name (and what they like to eat). You just need to know how to take him. It is a family run business and part of the Folsom, Pa community. I love their cheesesteaks, BLTs, hoagies, mixed cheese hoagies and breakfast sandwiches! It has a mom and pop feel (cause his mom and pop ran it forever), cool old counter and plenty of tables for a small joint. Regulars often sit together at the bigger table. Morning and lunch rush full of regulars. They will make you whatever you want if they have it...if you ask nice. :) Not open Sundays and opens later 11? on Tuesdays. Usually closed by 8 pm. Enjoy!

So here's the thing with Anna's...if I was rating them on taste alone, I would easily give them 5 stars. I've been coming here for a few years and I always get the veggie hoagie. It's huge, not on the menu, and they charge me less than $5. Score, right? So, by now you may be wondering what the problem is with Anna's. I feel like I am just waiting for the time that I get violently ill from eating one of these delicious hoagies. See, there are about 3 people who stick their un-gloved hands into the veggie containers all day. Everything they do...slice meat, build a sandwich, grab toppings, cook cheesesteaks is always done without gloves. Last time, the employee, who shall remain unnamed, grasped my hoagie (bare handed, naturally) to move it over. I'm talking full palm on that baby. It's gross; the sandwiches are not. See where I'm going here, folks? Just know that you may be spending the rest of your day in the shitter. ;-)

I have to agree with the OP, this is a great place. While I've always lived in Delaware County, we've just moved to Morton, which is near Anna's. For years I had seen the place right across the street from the Veteran's Park with the mounted artillery piece, and on Saturday in the mood for a cheese steak, decided to try it out . The place is small inside, really not much more than an ordering counter and a deli counter, but there are a few tables to sit at. (One would accommodate 2 people, one 4 and a larger one for about 6. That's it.) As mentioned by the OP, it's a family run affair, and it looked like the grandmother was the cook. The cheese steaks she turned out were huge, and we ordered the 'regular' size. They must have weighed more than a pound apiece. You couldn't even eat them without loosing part of the meat. (Thankfully, we ate over a plate.) My wife actually complained that there was too much steak, and not enough mushrooms and onions on hers. The only complaint I could have (if you can call it that), is that they do not take credit cards. It's a cash business, so if your in the mood for really good, filling cheese steak, just make sure you have the cash to buy. I can't wait to try out one of their hoagies.
