What's the best place in Philadelphia to get a cheesesteak?

Well, the famous Geno’s Steaks is in Philly.  It has been featured on the show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and is quite famous.  It’s been recommended by the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and it’s a great place to go with your family for dinner.  It’s been featured on several movies, such as Val Kilmer’s The Saint, Leonardo DiCaprio’s What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, and it was the inspiration for the restaurant “Pat’s” in the TV show Cheers.

Are there any others that are considered iconic?

I’m going to recommend the next best one: Pat’s King of Steaks.  Pat’s opened in 1930, and it’s famous for its vintage look and retro-chic decor, as well as its long lines (which tend to stretch out the door).  You can get it fresh, warm, or grilled, or fried and served with cheese and hot sauce.  Pat’s has been named one of the top 25 steakhouses in the US, and the most iconic burger joint by Philadelphia Magazine.

Is there one that you consider the best?

I’d say Geno’s.  But really, if you are looking for a good cheesesteak, go to Pat’s, I’d say.  It’s good for me too because they have a lot of vegan options!

Maybe I'll just do a tour of all the famous ones!
