Quote HistoryQuoted: They are both overrated. Yup. The Philly Cheesesteak is the most overrated example of regional food. It ain’t NY Pizza or Texas Brisket. It’s a mediocre sandwich with cheezwiz. It is the “Philadelphia Eagles” of food. |

Mac's Philly Steak in Canandaigua NY imports Amoroso rolls, and makes better cheesesteaks than Philly.
 But, right down the street from Mac's is Faro's Pizzeria, which makes an even better cheesesteak.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Four foodies went to Philly with me. We did Gino's and Pats back to back for a taste test. Didn't even finish the sandwich said the stuff is tourist crap. It's literally a mushy steakumm with cheese whiz. Accidentally wound up at Tony Luke's later that day and it was miles better. Vote for Tony Luke’s did a cheesesteak run there from Va. |

Neither is all that spectacular, but if I had to choose it would be Geno's.
If you want the best, cross the bridge over to Camden and go to Donkey's, you can thank me later. |

I’ve been going to each for almost 35 years. They have gone down the hill with the amount of meat and cheese in service.
I can honestly you get a better cheesesteak in Florida. If you’re determined to get a cheesesteak in Philadelphia go to Jim‘s. Otherwise if you are in Atlantic City go to the White House. |

Quoted: Visited Philadelphia today to get some traffic infractions in, figured I'd try a cheesesteak. Went to Pat's. Really debating if I want to go through the traffic and awful parking to try Geno's another day. Pat's was okay, seems like the meat needed salt, could have used more meat. A bit on the high side, and the employees have the personality of a gulag wall. Is Geno's any better? https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/219085/245369239_251025363742543_71185719144263-2132994.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/219085/245928014_10159946200941004_872310189771-2132995.JPG Honestly that looks terrible .

Geno's has a much better cheesesteak. Pats has really good pizza fries. Together those make a tasty combo. Pretty overblown though.
People that know what the fuck they're doing just go to Tony Luke's and get a Beefbuster though.

It is nearly poisonous Fortune 500 slop. I can't believe a "restaurant" actually uses that product. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I prefer Steve’s if you are in Northeast Philly. If I’m at Pats and Genos I usually hit Pats. There’s been two murder at Pats the last couple months. It’s best not to be there when all the drunks show up. This is a man of taste and distinction. Steve's Prince of Steaks is indeed the best. Used to frequent their Fairless Hills location when I lived there. |

Quoted: Pat's has better rolls, but neither if you want real meat. Cross the bridge into south jersey and pick any random pizza shop for a better cheese steak. Pretty well summed up. If you need to hit a tourist steak place, Steve's or Tony Luke's. Both still used shaved ribeye last I checked. Tony's best sandwich is still the chicken cutlet with sharp cheddar and broccoli rabe on a butter, garlic role. Their roast pork isn't too shabby either and it's open late. |
