                Pat's and Geno's are for the tourists.

                Head to Roxborough, and go to Chubby's or Dalessandro's, or Chink's. All great places.

                Best steaks in the city.

                Pat's and Geno's are gimmicky and overrated.

                Goodle WIP Cheese Steak Contest---- run by the sports radio station in Philly--- I dont think either Pat's or Geno's even made the Top 10

                    Unreal, yeah I just looked it up. This is how it's explained:

                    " As the story goes, the original owner, Samuel "Chink" Sherman, opened his own Cheesesteak shop in Northeast Philly after learning the ropes at another establishment. As a child, Samuel Sherman was nicknamed "Chink" by his friends and family because of his supposedly "slanted, Asian looking" eyes. Later, he opened Chink's Cheesesteaks with his nickname to boot. "

                      Pats is not overrated. I was a local in Philly for most of my life. Yeah their are some lesser known local spots but nothing that beats a Pats cheesesteak IMO

                        I was born and raised in South Philly. Very few local philly folks go to Pat's. It's now almost all tourists and college kids. The locals go to Luke's, Chink's, Chubby's.

                        If anyone thinks Pat's steak is the best in Philly, they need to get their head out of Foder's travel mag, and experience the city some.

                            only reason why pats doesnt make the list is because locals dont wanna like something tourists are into

                            and every time ive gone there are still a lotta locals there

                            geno's are racist mother fukkers

                              Pats is absolutely not over rated. Cheese Wit. (have to say that if u want peppers n onions or u go to the back of the line, seriously)

                                Tony Lukes is absolutely terrible unless your getting Broccoli Rab but their steaks are way over rated. if anything THEY are the over rated place were tourist go.


                                Pats, hands down without a question. you won't regret it.

                                          The best in Philadelphia, in my opinion...

                                          Jim's Steaks an 85 year tradition serving the mouthwatering Philadelphia cheesesteak.

                                                            I have had cheese steaks all over Philly. You are right about Pats & Genos. Reality is there isnt much difference. I live in CA now and Cheese steaks taste exactly the same out here as they do in Philly
