GO TO JOHN'S ROAST PORK. If you can get there before 2:30 (Grill shuts off @ 2:30), do yourself a favor and go to John's Roast Pork. Voted best in city, it is. Really.
If not, go to Tony Lukes. And don't be afraid to get a Chicken Cutlet Italian. (Sharp Provolone, broccolirabe, longhots, chicken cutlet).
STAY AWAY FROM PAT'S AND GENO'S, unless it is after the show, and you are desperate.
1. John's Roast Pork (Before 2:30p)
2. Tony Lukes *Don't be scared to NOT get a cheesesteak.
"It's as comfortable as can be. But when you're on stage playing with Neil, well -- it's one thing to be at the zoo and watch an animal pace around its cage. It's another to be in the cage with him." -Eddie Vedder
Jim`s on South St. down near 2nd is always good, I love the constant smell of fried onions! It sticks to your clothes like glue! Tony Luke`s on Oregon Ave down under I-95 is excellent, get the roast pork with the sharp provolone with broccoli rabe, a feast for your tastebuds. ALWAYS be ready when it`s your time to order!!!!!! The time to gawk at the menu is BEFORE you get to the front of the line, these places are always busy! "Whaddya a friggin` tourist? Next!!!" Philly hospitality at its best! If you make it to Pat`s or Geno`s, and you`re tryn` to kill some time, take a walk down 9th St. through the Italian Market. It`s like you`re walking through the set of "Rocky". Small shops, guys selling nuts and fruit out of sidewalk stands, the scene where Stallone runs through the neighborhoods was filmed there, its classic.
When I travel to Philly next month, where should I try my 1st CS? I've heard of Pat's and Geno's but on a recent episode of Man v Food, he ate at Tony Luke's. Your thoughts?
Pat's and Geno's are both the most vile, disgusting, horseshit excuse for a sandwich, I have ever experienced. You can walk in to your local 7-11 and get a better sandwich. And we both realize 7-11 sucks monkey balls. Pat's and Geno's are both just pure fucking garbage on bread.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

oh my dear gosh! There's this great place in Milwaukee here that has awesome cheesesteaks! I have to go there every once in awhile to get my fix of a good cheesesteak. Kind of reminds me of being in Philly and living on the east coast. But nothing tops my homemade ones. If I have to say so myself...they are pretty kickass.
Hey Sheila, are you talking about this place on South 2nd? This place is awesome! I guess the guy who owns it, used to work in Philly at either Pat's or Gino's for a long time. Apparently he has his rolls flown in daily from Philly.

that's the place! I LOVE IT THERE!!! Reminds me of home. And to have a real hoagie roll is priceless there.
Pats and genos are better than jims and better than most. Makes me laugh reading anti pats genos like they are ticket master or creed. My fav is steves. Im from Philly and have had em all and steves is best. Problem is it's not right downtown. It's northeast Philly but well worth it.
I should take you to the place here and see how you like those.
I realize there are places in Philly, that sell a mouth watering, holy fuck delicious, cheesesteak sandwich.
Pat's and Geno's are neither of those places.
I've had both as well as some others in Philly. I actually thought Geno's was not bad...greasy as hell. It is what it is and it taste great late at night.
What I would love to do would be to sit down with a Geno's and Pat's cheesesteak and watch a video of the PJ 2006 Cincy concert with Speedy. Good times.
funny thing, I leave near Philly, have been there plenty of times and have never got a cheeseteak from any of those famous places. best one I have have recently was at Big Bertha's, the small food stand at Pagoda Golf, a driving range/miniature golf place that is near us just outside of Reading.

I believe so. Never had Tony Luke's. How was it?
They are just tasteless garbage.
I have had a better sandwich from a cooler in a truckstop.

no kidding, maybe I should swing by Philly to get him a few on the way next week?

You can stop and get me one!
TL's Cheesesteak was a really good sandwich. I kind of regret not getting the Roast Pork Sandwich. I hear that's what they're really known for.
Was 5x the sandwich.....
And that was a sandwich from the fucking venue....
Pat's and Geno's are jut crap on a bun.

have any of you chicago people been to the place on belmont just east of the red line? it's suppose to be the most authentic place in the city.
