Philly Phraud

by tony_ardmore at Citysearch

Who are the people writing good revirews of this place/ Do they like eating shoe leather in a roll? Do they know anything about a real cheese steak? Do they know anything about how the meat is prepared"?

This is NOT a Philadelphia Cheese Steak. Go to any other deli or steak shop ( except Gino's which is just as bad). Chip steak? the meat on a steak sandwich is never, never served as a slab. It's too tough. The meat on a true steak is always scrambled, broken, stirred about.

And Cheeze- Wiz!!!! What has become of you?

I'm annoyed at seeing this place presented on TV as offering the typical Philadelphia sandwich.

Go anywhere but here (or Gino;s)

• Pros: NONE- this place is a contradiction in terms
• Cons: cheeze-wiz! flat, tough steak.

First time last night....

by palmierip at Citysearch

...and last time. $20 round trip cab fare, for a below average sandwich. And I'm not sure if all the places in Philly have this, but Cheez Wiz? Come on.

If you are down there, go to Pat's

Tried both Geno's and Pat's.... Pat's all the way.

I love the way the wiz flavors the entire steak. It should be gooey and the roll soggy from oil and cheese. The meat is flavorful enough. The only complaint is that I'd like double the amount of meat and cheese so the monster is too big to fit into the mouth. Bring my way to an earlier heart attack!

Like no other, the steaks are awesome and ordering is an experience. We make special road trips from Baltimore/Annapolis to grab PAT's steaks

Best Steaks in Philly

by madama at Citysearch

Sometimes we drive 15 miles, back roads, at 2am to get steaks & I recall they had the best corn on the cob (Jersey corn).man !!! IT WAS GREAT, if somebody here in Jax could only "match" the taste!!!

• Pros: all of the above
• Cons: NONE

Pat's vs Geno's

by e_graves at Citysearch

I recently conducted a "taste test" between Pat's and Geno's. Pat's is easily the winner. Pat's shreads its steak vs. Geno's steak slices. Pat's onions are more fully cooked and smaller pieces than Geno's. Most importantly, Pat's is clearly more well seasoned than Geno's, and uses a better tasting role. Pat's is not the best in Philly, but its better than Geno's.

• Pros: taste

Pat's is best

by jferengi at Citysearch

Pat's Steaks has a wonderful atmosphere. The air is electric with all kinds of hungry people having fun at any time day or night. The service is far superior to Geno's. I asked Pat's to cut a cheesesteak into three pieces so I could share it with friends. Pat's did it cheerfully. We went across the street to Geno's and asked the same thing. The surly counterman said, "We don't cut into three pieces." That was his whole explanation and he gave us nasty looks. The Geno's sandwich was clearly of low quality because the meat was arranged in flat slices without being chopped up and it had a slightly greenish tinge to it. Pat's is friendly, down to earth, and has good food.

• Pros: good service, fun clientele, good food

Pat's: Prince of Steaks

by zenorigin at Citysearch

Seriously, what is all the hype about? I have always wanted to go to Pat's since moving here for college. I didn't want to try Geno's because with all of its neon lights, just looks like a casino to me. So, we went to Pat's at 1am in the morning and I order "wit' cheese", and got my cheesesteak in 10 seconds. Yay, ooey gooey cheesy goodness on stale cold bread! We ordered two drinks and regular fries, and they managed to screw up that order several times (they're just too fast). I take a bite of my cheesesteak: mmmmm! Then I realized that it was a bit salty for my tastes (my bf says that it should be). I didn't finish my long-awaited cheesesteak but consumed the fries, which were sure better than McD's!

• Pros: Fast Service (duh), Open 24 Hours, Fries
• Cons: , Old Bread, Overhyped
