    Angelo's and John's Roast Pork are a cut above.

    Beyond that, they're all roughly the same. Especially if you've been drinking.

    Love Angelo's on South 9th as well as Tony Luke's on Oregon, but I'll definitely need to try John's sometime soon!

    If you’re going to the Philly shows, do yourself a service and enjoy  a roast pork, cheese steak and Italian hoagie.

    Even a Primos is great.  I think there is one near the complex.

    We sitting in here -- and we in here talking about cheesesteaks. I mean, listen: We talking about cheesesteaks. Not a concert. Not a concert. Not a concert. We talking about cheesesteaks. Not a concert. Not the concert that I go out there and die for and attend every concert like it's my last. Not the concert. We talking about cheesesteaks, man.

    Classic moment in sports history. 

    Can't wait to try all the Cheesesteak spots and decide which will be my winner in September.

    Dinic's roast pork with broccoli rabe is a must try.

    I've had Pat's and Geno's, both great to me. My sister lives outside of Philly, so I've had little local places by them too that are all great as well. May go for Tony Luke's and Angelo's this time.

    So, my sister, brother and I want to get a good cheesesteak before the show - what's better Pats or Genos?
    I feel that Genos has the better meat and cheese,but the bread at Pat's is fabulous. If only the 2 could be combined. Either way you go,both are delicious.

    Angelo’s is right down the street from Pats and Geno’s and 1000x better than both.   Go to Angelo’s and order with cooper sharp cheese!!!

    Pat's and Geno's are just tourist traps and highly overrated.   Jim's on South Street has really good cheesesteaks, but they're currently closed because of a fire.    Cheesesteaks aside, the best sandwich in Philly is the Roast Pork with Sharp Provolone and Brocoli Rabe from Tommy Dinic's in the Reading Terminal Market.

    I did side by side taste test of Geno’s and Pat’s. Everybody I was with preferred Pat’s. The meat was chopped up finer. Gino’s was a bit chunkier. Jim’s was also good, similar to Pat’s.

    I tried to be subtle about Dinic’s earlier, but yes, I must now insist.

    If you are looking to save one beer's worth of money and willing to walk, there are some other lots nearby that will probably be $25 or so.  Stadium lot will have plenty of parking, so no need to buy ahead.   

    Also, this won't get you the best cheesesteak in town, but on 9/7, the Phillies play at 4:00 in Miami.  Xfinity Live will get you food, drinks and and a chance to see the Phils lock up a playoff spot.  And for those that need one, there is a Geno's Steaks satellite location there.
