Helmed by Culinary Director Chris Lodge, previously the Executive Chef at Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse, Shay's aims to be a reliable neighborhood spot for high-quality, convenient dining. The restaurant is open six days a week with extended late-night hours on weekends, catering to everyone from early-rising commuters to the after-bar crowd.
The menu gets off to a strong start with a variety of breakfast options, including bagels, muffins, and creative sandwiches. A standout is "The Shaygel," a unique take on a breakfast cheesesteak featuring chopped ribeye, Cooper Sharp cheese, and egg, all served on a classic everything bagel. The morning menu is complemented by a range of coffees, raw cold-pressed juices, and wellness shots.
For lunch, dinner, and late-night cravings, Shay's serves up a bold selection of signature steak sandwiches made with premium ingredients. Highlights include:
- The Classic: Made with prime rib, Cooper Sharp cheese, buttery steakhouse seasoning, and sautéed onions.
- The Big Ben: Crafted with American Wagyu, black garlic and truffle seasoning, Cooper Sharp cheese, and sautéed onions and peppers.
- The Dreamchaser: A tribute to Philly's own Meek Mill, made with filet mignon, Cooper Sharp cheese, red garlic jalapeño seasoning, and onions and peppers.
- The Durkin: A juicy chicken cheesesteak with buffalo sauce and Cooper Sharp cheese.
For those seeking lighter fare, the menu also includes build-your-own protein bowls over spinach and fresh salads. A special late-night menu item, available only after 10 PM, is the Cheesesteak Eggroll, a crispy creation filled with shaved ribeye, fried onions, and Cooper Sharp cheese.
Shay's Steaks & More is now open six days a week: Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Friday (7:00 AM – 3:00 AM) and Saturday (8:00 AM – 3:00 AM) for late-night service.
