This starts an unwinnable argument about who has the best cheesesteak. Everyone in Philly thinks they know where the best cheesesteak is.
I’m staying out of it.
Fact is, pretty much any cheesesteak place in Philly has better cheesesteaks than anywhere else in the world. They’re all good. But debate in the comments as you see fit.

PATS ALL DAY EVERY DAY
Pats or GTFO
Tony Luke’s, Oregon Ave. Tourist trap or not.
Jim’s on south street. Geno’s and Pat’s are for tourist!
^I never understood what this means. So what if tourists go there?
By that same logic, Jim’s is also “for tourist.” Why do you think the line goes outside and around the building? Locals don’t hang out on South Street.
Good choice, Dalessandro’s is the best.
Kyle. Maybe the problem isn’t this “unwinnable debate” over which place is better.
Perhaps the larger issue is that an overrated comedian visits a god damned sandwich shop that specializes in serving a greasy, disgusting pile of meat and cheese on a roll…..and THIS is what launches intense debate in this god forsaken town.
Bye faggot. Hope u get run over on your way out of town.
heres an idea. get the F out of our town
eat a dick dork
STEVES THE PRINCE OF STEAKS in the NE
Phillips #2
Phillips #1 Dels #2 Steves #3
Larry ‘s has the best steaks
Pizza City has the best cheesesteaks
Now that is funny!
Pizza city I’m the ne. Lol
Your food knowledge is awful
Animaaaaallll
Animal never eats. How would he know a good cheesesteak. Love that guy
Dalessandro’s is a solid choice. I may be biased as I lived around the corner, but pats/genos are extremely overrated. Steve’s is up there too
Jimmy Fallon is awful. No wonder why his show is on when everyone is sleeping.
Jimmy Fallon’s show is actually pretty funny, I’m assuming your 97 year old ass never stayed up to see it?
I’m 22 and Fallon has been a faggot for as long as I remember.
Chubby’s across from delassandros is better but for the best I’d go with tony Luke’s or capriottis
FACE
Capriottis for turkey subs (a Delaware original), Claymont Ave in Newark for Cheesesteaks (cuz DE does it better than Philly), and Deer Head for Hot dogs (another DE). Basically, DE gets no love for food, even though its better all day. The only food Philly has thats better is Dim Sum in Chinatown.
As a live long DE native, there is nothing we do better than Philly.
Tony’s Pizza in Port Richmond. Best cheesesteaks in the city. Never heard of it? Check it out. Don’t want to check it out? Go fuck yourself.
Thank you for giving me the option.
Pats and genos both fucking suck. Chunks of fat with rude dago workers
Johns Roast Pork not even close
In college, a bunch of buddies and myself did our own Cheesesteak Challenge with a point system grading meat, bread, cheese to grease ratio etc. We ate 30 cheesesteaks in 10 days. While opinions varied on the ranks from numbers 2-29, there were only two unanimous ordinals, Johns was the best, and Mama’s in Bala Cynwyd was the worst.
Although I have to say Fallon did pick a respectable joint, he choice can be defended.
Cool story bro. And for all of you fucking pussies talking shit about Geno’s and Pat’s, where else can you wait in line for 20 mins., get your skull caved in by some neanderthal four motherfucking hairy asses down on the evolution chart. Why don’t you all get a clue and just get Steak-Ums? Bitch made pussies.
Momma’s is awful. Agreed. It’s like boiled meat floating in a big blob of cheese.
You people above, except one, are clueless. Steve’s is clearly the best.
I agree with Thomas
I wish there was a like button
Wit or without is the best in philly. Even the fries are awesome
Sugar Hill Subs… Mays Landing, NJ
Sugar Hill Subs is fucking amazing, great call. But John’s Roast pork has the best cheese steak in the world.
What’s a cheesesteak? The best food is in Dallas.
Fuck Off
What’s a cheesesteak?
+1
He was in the right area, just the wrong side of Henry Ave. Chubby’s is best but Delasandros is a close second. Roxborough
Jims on South….. Steak em up…. the best. Domonic are you gonna rock subway with ryan?
LARRYS STEAKS LARRYS STEAKS LARRYS STEAKS
Someone said something to enrage me, but I’m drunk so I can’t remember what it was and don’t feel like re-reading.
That being said, Pat’s and Geno’s suck, fuck ’em. The one time I had Steve’s it was pretty good, and if I’m in the city I’m going to Tony Luke’s. Look how fucking fat that guy is, that’s how you know he makes good shit.
Baldinos – Tequesta, Florida
Geno’s and pats suck and are tourist traps but how is jims not? only difference i can see is would you rather have a monkey or a dago dripping sweat on your steak… johns roast pork easy
The answer is…,,.,..dallasandros. Pussies
The best meat is found on 12t and Pine after midnight. His name is Bruce
I didn’t realize crossingbroad.com now redirects to uwishunu.
Regardless, the answer is Subway.
I figured you’d be partial to White Castle
Can we discuss sausages? Love them long thick and salty
I love meat as well.
dallasandros is Gorgeous !
I am a giant pussy
I can eat six Chubbys at one sitting.
can someone munch my carpet?
I vote for Chink’s for racists making them change their names too.
chops city avenue has the best
I’ve always been partial to Pats and Tony Luke’s…good shit.
Pudges in Blue Bell. That way you don’t have to go anywhere near the scum of the NE or south philly.
Pudge’s is awful.
Chubbys steaks smell like Suzie Celeks pussy on a good day,
Subway
Thanks for choosing Subway. Without Subway, I would be a huge lard ass.
Fuck pat’s& geno’s. Both suck/tourist trap/overrated. Jim’s isn’t awful, but still tourist trap. For those in the know, John’s. Best cheesesteak/roast pork in town. *end of debate* if you say otherwise, you’ve never had one from John’s.
Chink’s extra American with …. In my opinion the best.
Cheesesteaks are for dumb faggots.
“Let’s put fries on everything.” Grey sky-havin’ dicklick. Have fun at your summer home in Wilkes-Barre. I bet you have a picture of Denis Bonvie in your wallet.
One thing’s for sure, both Pat’s and Geno’s are terrible. Tourist traps… Pat’s are served cool, are super greasy , they’re never hot and they taste more like fish. Geno’s is about the same. About as unique as Pepsi and Coke.
If you’re ever in the Western Burbs out towards Paoli/Exton, give John’s in Frazer, PA on Lancaster Ave. a shot. Best in the afternoon when the grill is nice and seasoned. Twice the size of Pat’s, Jim’s, or Geno’s and better meat and roll. Need try try Chink’s and John’s in toen sometime myself. http://www.johnspizzaonline.com

Grey Lodge Pub and Chink’s are the best.
Barrys deserves a honorable mention. The alpine is a thing of beauty. Dalessandros was sold a few years back and its been down hill since. Steves, chinks, Jims pizza steak, all good and Genos only at 3am or Christmas.
Where do the skinny jeans hipster metrosexuals like their steak. In the fucking asshole that’s where.
Frusco’s is the best & they have some nice white trash chicks working there
My soundbooth smells like a Dutch oven.
Not a word about one of the best boxers of all time fighting even though he’s from Philadelphia. Lol @ this fake ass reposting blog
Boxing? What are you, a hundred years old?
How wide do you think Rhea Hughes’ asshole stretches? I say 3 inches. Thoughts?
I live in South Jersey. I’ve been to Philly a thousand times and have never had a bad cheese steak in Philly. Delassandros, Pat’s, Geno’s, Jim’s, Luke’s. I’ve had them all, never with wiz because wiz is for children, Provolone or American cheese only. I’d say if you went to any of them you really can’t go wrong. It’s all made with the same meat, it all comes on a good Italian roll you can only get In the Delaware valley. It’s all good, they are all cow and cheese on a good roll. All good. We are spoiled in the tri-state area really, In Florida I bought a “Philly” cheese steak, it was shit.
If anybody is around the Bordentown, NJ area hit up Hog back deli. You will not be the same afterwards, I promise you will be forever changed. Don’t even attempt to eat a “whole” You will die slowly and painfully.
Sonny’s in Old City. Period.
We don’t need another Genos or Pats tourist trap.
I love when I’m in the airport and I see a gate hosting a flight about to leave for Philadelphia. I usually notice the following:
1) The number of grown men who find it acceptable to make public appearances wearing sweat pants, and “iggles” gear
2) The gate is always left completely filthy
3) 75% of the people are obese
More than anything, I guess I’m surprised that there are people out there who deliberately travel to that vile graveyard of the soul called Philadelphia.
Jim’s has been my ‘go-to’ in south philly for as long as I can remember. Steve’s Prince of Steaks in the North East is always worth the drive.
Pat’s and Geno’s both taste like their meat has sat in a petri dish behind a radiator in the basement. No thanks.
