Pat's King of Steaks

What Comes UP must come DOWN

Bleh!! The "Loser" of steaks! 1MonthAgo I ordered their classic cheesteak, with Wiz and No Onions. The roll wasn't firm enough and the meat, although flavorful, was the worst. It was extremely tough and gristly. I have never had a gristly cheesesteak before. Maybe that was a fluke. Nope, every bite was gristly. Afterwards while driving home I my friends confirmed the lousiness of a Pat's Cheesesteak. Other cheesesteak runs by my friends have had similar results. Recently, in the Philadlephia Inquirer, the newspaper held a taste test for the area's best cheesesteaks. Guess who came dead last? Pat's "King" of steaks. I'm sure they were better. 5.50 is a lot for a cheesesteak, especially if it the worst one I've ever had. I won't eat there until you get your act together, Mr. Oliveri. Believe me, folks. Ignore those other reviews. Pat's sucks.

• Pros: Tourist place
• Cons: Bad Food, Expensive, Dirty

There are just too many places to get cheesesteaks especially in the city of brotherly love. What makes pat's so great is the meat they use to make there steaks...you just got to have one

• Pros: Open Late
• Cons: Long Lines

PATS vs. GENOS - PAT'S IS THE WINNER!

by shandlin at Citysearch

My boyfriend and I decided to put the argument to the test-I went to Genos and got a steak and he obtained one from Pat's. Side by side, the Pat's steak was fuller with meat. The true test was in the tasting. Pat's had a better meat flavor than Geno's. Now we know!
