Philly Steak Sandwich - Where
Where is the best place in Philly to have the "authentic" Steak Sandwich?

Pat's on 9th and Wharton in South Philly is a local institution. Some argue Geno's in better, try 'em both as they are a right near each other.

My vote goes to Geno's at 9th and Passyunk, right across from Pat's. Others swear by Jim's Steaks at 4th and South.

The great Philly debate goes on...Genos or Pats...depending on what local takes me out for a cheesesteak, I end up at either place. They are located on opposing street corners, too...

There are two more places that have cult followings (I am fans of both): Tony Luke's and Campo's. Their websites are tonylukes.com and camposdeli.com.

Without question, Pats and/or Genos. You should really try both (since they are within a block of each other).

Well, I had Pat's. My big question is WHY would you want one!? I thought they were really pretty tasteless and yucky.

Because it is a Philadelphia TRADITION!
Try some soft pretzels too.

Go east to Pittsburgh and get a Primanti Bros. Sandwich. Fries and Cole Slaw on the sandwich with Red Devil Hot Sauce is a sandwich second to none. Skip Philly and head to the Steel Town.
