So, my sister, brother and I want to get a good cheesesteak before the show - what's better Pats or Genos?

    Both are gargbage, and pretty much taste the same. Slight edge to Geno's. But just send half your party to Pat's, half to Geno's. Split the sandwhiches up, do a taste test.

    We love Tony Lukes-Jims was just o.k. As far as Pats/Genos goes Genos is better. But we'll be hitting tony L's

    Campos Deli on Market kicks ass
    One man stands alone awaiting
    for her to come home
    eyes upon the horizon
    in the dark before the
    darkness leaves the dawn

    I've tried Jim's Steaks on South St several times and every time I get sick after.

    If you're looking for a delicious onion-filled steak go with Pat's.

    If you are near the stadiums, Talk of the Town on Broad Street (by Packer) is within walking distance and is an unknown gem of a place... I prefer flipped not chopped (Steve's Prince of Steaks style) and ToTT is pretty good.

    Definitely worth a 5-minute walk:

    I'll just get a hoagie at Primo's in Media ( the hard roll !) or a chicken cheese steak at Ishkabibble.

    My opinion???

    Going to Geno's or Pat's, is equivalent to visiting Chicago, and going to Domino's or Papa John's for Pizza.....

    Geno's and Pat's are both GARBAGE!!!!!
