The Philly food scene has welcomed its latest standout with the grand opening of Shays Steaks & More, a vibrant new gourmet-on-the-go eatery that effortlessly blends bold flavors, inventive comfort food, and all-day accessibility. Staked out (pun intended) at 1526 Sansom Street, Shays Steaks & More is transforming what locals should expect from fast-casual dining, serving up breakfast, lunch, dinner, and indulgent late-night bites all under one roof.
Shays Steaks & More Starts Your Day Right and Powers Through Lunch and Dinner
Mornings begin with intention at Shay’s Steaks & More. The breakfast menu features fresh bagels, muffins, energizing smoothies, and bold creations like The Shaygel — a one-of-a-kind sandwich that stacks chopped ribeye, Cooper Sharp cheese, and a fried egg between halves of an everything bagel. It’s a fusion of steakhouse indulgence and morning convenience, setting the tone for a place that thinks outside the breakfast box. Guests can also enjoy raw cold-pressed juices, wellness shots, and a curated selection of coffees designed to fuel their day.
As the day rolls on, Shay’s Steaks & More transitions seamlessly into a go-to lunch and dinner destination. The star of the show? An imaginative array of steak sandwiches that push the boundaries of the traditional Philly cheesesteak. The Classic keeps things familiar with prime rib, Cooper Sharp, and sautéed onions seasoned with buttery steakhouse flair. The Durkin swaps steak for juicy chicken breast and a splash of buffalo sauce, while The Big Ben ups the ante with American Wagyu, black garlic, and truffle seasoning. For a local homage, The Dreamchaser delivers filet mignon with red garlic jalapeño seasoning in honor of Philly’s own Meek Mill.
Shays Steaks & More Satisfies Late-Night Cravings
Late-night food lovers will rejoice with Shay’s Steaks & More open until 3 AM on weekends. After 10 PM, guests can indulge in the Cheesesteak Eggroll, a crispy and savory fusion filled with shaved ribeye, fried onions, and Cooper Sharp cheese. It’s a crave-worthy treat available solo for $9 or as a pair for $17. Sides like golden fries and crispy onion rings are perfect for sharing (or not), and every order can be fully customized with toppings and seasonings.
For those seeking balance, Shay’s Steaks & More offers lighter fare, including build-your-own protein bowls on a base of fresh spinach, as well as composed salads like the Caesar or Strawberry Salad. The Buffalo Wrap adds zip with bleu cheese and crisp veggies wrapped around tender buffalo chicken. It’s this diversity that allows Shay’s to appeal to both hearty eaters and health-conscious diners alike.
Shay’s Steaks & More Hours and What’s Next
Shays Steaks & More is open six days a week: Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Fridays from 7:00 AM to 3:00 AM, and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 3:00 AM. The space will soon welcome an additional concept this fall — a diner-style expansion that promises to build on the restaurant’s growing buzz.
Led by Culinary Director Chris Lodge, a seasoned veteran from Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse, and backed by the No Name Hospitality Group, Shay’s Steaks & More is ready to be more than just a neighborhood favorite. The goal is to become a culinary landmark in Center City.
From its inventive menu and extended hours to its commitment to flavor, value, and hospitality, Shays Steaks & More hits the mark for Philadelphians seeking something both familiar and fresh. Whether you’re stopping in for a Shaygel on the go, a Wagyu cheesesteak after hours, or a healthy bowl to balance the day, this is one spot that lives up to its name — and more.
