I'm going to Philly this week and just wondering, Pat's or Geno's. I'll probably eat at one and get take out at the other, but what do you guys think?

Believe it or not -- neither?

There are hundreds of mom-and-pop grease factories in Philly that are just as good as the big chains -- or better. Not that Pat's and Geno's (and Jim's, the other leg of the Cheesesteak Triangle, which I'd recommend over Pat's AND Geno's) are BAD... but it's like choosing between Domino's and Pizza Hut when the small restaurant down the block does it better than either one.

Some suggestions:

Pizza City - Red Lion & Academy Rds.
Phillip's - 24th and Passyunk
Jimmy's All American - Ridge Ave., near the Wissahickon Rail Station
PhilaDeli - 5th and South
Ishkabibble's - 4th and South, if you like chicken cheesesteaks
Drexel Hill Style Pizza - just outside of town, Routes 3 and 320 in Broomall (get the Royal Steak)
Dallesandro's - Wendover St., Roxborough (or Chubby's, right across the street)
Victoria's Pizza - Morrell Plaza, Frankford and Morrell Ave.
Speedy Pizza - NE Philly, Fairdale and Knights Rd.
Moffett's - W. Tioga St., between Broad and Germantown Ave., near Temple University Hospital

And remember -- cheesesteaks are With or Without, never settle for Cheez Whiz (Provolone or American or Cheddar or go home instead), and anyone who puts mayo on a cheesesteak isn't from here.

Nope. They are from the South. God, they put mayo on everything down here.

Another vote for Jims and real cheese both - although the Mrs. is a Philly native and insists that the cheezewhiz is the way to go, FWIW. I think she's insane.

I'm in S. Philly every day. They both suck. Nobody eats there unless they don't know any better. Go
to Tony Luke's on Oregon Ave. (under 95) or go into the Produce Terminal and go to Norm's. BTW-
Tony Luke's roast beef Italian is the best sandwich money can buy- it makes any cheesesteak taste
like shit mixed with grease. And yes I have traveled outside PA and NJ. Food in the south is very, very
greasy-mayo-overfried tasting. California food gves you an instant case of the squirts, which I guess is
worse.

Pat's for me. But then again you are there for the South Philly feel not the taste.

All over the region - Momma's in Bala Cynwyd if they are still open.

Strictly Philly - Tony Luke's

I was wondering when someone would mention Tony Luke.

I live about 45 minutes from Philly. I've been there a few times, but I cant say I've ever had a true Philadelphia Cheese Steak. I'm going to try to plan a day trip with my buds and head down.

ON a somewhat related note, are any of the Lee's Hoagie Houses still open? YOu used to be able to get a meatball hoagie that was two foot long! I loved those things!
