Wed Sep 09 2009For whatever reason, Philly Cheesesteak actually tastes better in Philly. No kidding-- whether from Pat's or Geno's or a small corner sub shop, Philadelphia has the best. Why I can't manage to find anything comparable in MA I have no idea.

Sat May 31 2008There was this little hole-in-the-wall joint next to a gas station that I used to visit...they had the BEST Philly Cheesesteaks! I wish I could have one now, but that place went out of business...and is about 450 miles away from where I currently live.

Mon Oct 08 2007OK THE BEST CHEESESTEAKS ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET IS STEVES PRINCE OF STEAKS IN NORTH EAST PHILLY, ON BUSELTON AV, AND ST VINCENT ST IS GREAT. THEIR BREAD IS TASTY AND CUT PERFECTLY AND UNLIKE ANY CHEESESTEAK I HAVE EVER HAD AND BELIVE ME I'VE HAD CHEESESTEAKS FROM THE BASIC TOURIST ATTRACTIONS SUCH AN GINOS,PATS,AND JIMS, STEVES USES SLICED RIBEYE STEAK WHICH IS TASTY SCRUMCHIOUS AND DELICIOUS FULL OF FLAVOR .MY RECOMENDATION IS (1 WIT (WITH ONIONS) BOTH CHEESES' (WHIZ&AMERICAN;) WITH MAYO (I GET EXTRA) AND AN ORDER OF HOT AND SPICEY FRIES BUT IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT LITTLE SPICEY KICK JUST GET PLAIN AND AMERICAN ON THE SIDE "THATS THE PLUS ABOUT STEVES THEIR AMERICAN CHEESE IS A SAUCE LIKE WHIZ " AND BACK TO WHAT I WAS SAYING AMERICAN CHEESE ON THE SIDE AND A LARGE COKE, I HOPE YOU ENJOY WHAT I ALWAYS ENJOY . WELL THANKS FOR READING MY OPINION OR SHOULD IT BE A KNOWN FACT THAT STEVES IS THE GREATEST CHEESE STEAK IN THE UNIVERSE.

Fri Sep 28 2007In my mind, they're nothing special, although I ate them pretty regularly at the cafeteria when I was going to college. From this vantage point in time, I'm not quite sure why. Nearly every day for lunch, I'd order the same thing-- a cheesesteak sandwich, a Coke, and a piece of German chocolate cake. Maybe at the time I felt the cheesesteak soaked up alcohol better than tuna-fish or peanut-butter. When I graduated, I never touched another cheesesteak again ever. It wasn't because I detested them, or because I had grown tired of them-- I just never thought about them at all once I left the college environment where they had been so easily accessible (and relatively cheap). Sometimes I think I should actually drive over to Philadelphia and give them a truly fair shot; treat myself to the genuine article rather than the faux NJ knock-off that I used to consume. But then I remember how long it takes to drive to Philadelphia, how generally dreary and dull I find the city to be, the relation... Read more

Sun Aug 19 2007You can feel 14 minutes taken away from your life with every one- but a well-made cheesesteak is a memorable experience. . .

Sun Aug 19 2007oh gosh... heavenly if it's made correctly. MINIMAL onions, no peppers, then just cheese and beef.

Sun Aug 19 2007It is full of cholesterol and after eating one I have to go to some generic lipitor for a better state. But, it is more than tasty!

Thu Jun 14 2007One of my favorites but, it does surprise me how many places can't get it right.

Wed Jan 31 2007No such thing as a Philly Cheesesteak unless you are outside of the Philadelphia area or at some fakey bobo tourist trap food joint. It is known as a cheesesteak PERIOD! Hot Pocket Cheesesteak? The Great Steak & Potato Company? Are you friggin kidding me!

Sun Apr 24 2005I have to give this a 4 even though I do LOVE a GOOD philly cheesesteak. Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to make it good. I like it with cheese between each slice of beef, onions, peppers, mushrooms, no ketchup!!

Sun Feb 27 2005If you want to feel like a God for a few precious minutes, head to Gino's Cheesesteak stand in Philadelphia. I promise you, that life itself will fail in comparison to those sandwiches.

Thu Feb 10 2005Just had a hoagie from benjis and it was great. I am on a special diet from doc. and he thinks they are great. I get my veggies serving of bread and of course choc. milk. I dont miss the mayo so I guess iam going to be stuck eating the best cheese steak in canada!
by hotel283
Sun Jan 09 2005Have to give it good rating on reputation alone but i think only Americans in general and Philadelphians in particular know how to make it correctly. Every one I've had in Canada was awful, I have to get my ass to Philly!!!!!!

Tue Jan 04 2005I'm Pissed i just traveled from Napanee Ontario Canada to Philadelphia Pa.. Great city, but the reason i went there was for Pat's and Geno's. Geno's was good, thicker steak but good, Pat's on the other hand sucked, i gagged on the grizzel. I was sitting at a table right beside the line up and was about to spit it out but managed to wash it down with his lrg. coke. I was not impressed! We stayed in norht-east Philly and ate at a place near our hotel, England Pizza (on Cottom ave just off Roosevelt), great cheesesteak there. I asked at a few shops how Pat,s and Geno's got so famous. They all said LOCATION Being next to the baseball and football stadiums and the night life district on the other side they were bound to be busy. staying open 24 hours.It was to much like an assembly line, no heart in it. Ill tell you what. I own a Steak Shop here in Napanee, (1/2 way between Toronto & Ottawa) AND I WILL NOW AFTER TASTEING THE 'FAMOUS' PATS'S AND GENO'S PUT UP MY CHEESESTEAK TO ... Read more

Sat Sep 25 2004I worked in Philadelphia for about 6 months and was introduced to a Philly Chessesteak by my boss. It was the best sandwick I had ever had. Here is a tip, if you want a good Philly chessesteak, order Domino's Philly Chessesteak pizza. It is surprisingly close. TO MISSPACKRAT: I have had the hot pocket version and it is decent. Try Domino's, it's closer to the real thing.

Sun Aug 22 2004Cheese steak in general is one of the favorites. I like extra cheese, onions, and peppers. One of the best.

Wed Jul 21 2004I haven't tried an actual sandwich like this before, but I've had the Philly cheesesteak Hot Pocket (if that counts). If that is an example of what a Philly cheesesteak sandwich tastes like, it would rate pretty high in my book.

Wed Jul 21 2004The Philly Cheesesteak IS my favorite sandwich ( I say this about eveything that I eat, but this time it's true, I think.). On my trip back east earlier this year I made a point of eating at both Pat's and Geno's, in Philly, (Both have been shown on Foodtv)and was not dissapointed, but if a had to choose, I would pick Pat's. The lines in front of both sandwich shops were a block long, and they are right across the street from each other, which makes for a cicus atmosphere. My son went to one, and I ordered at the other, and man, did we stuff ourselves. Here in California there is a chain that is called The Great Steak and Potato Company, that would give either one of these a run for their money. But I like them all.A five star rating for a Great sandwich.
