They're on the corner of Passyunk & 9th, and neither are worth the drive...tourist traps IMO. If you're looking for a great cheesesteak, Dalassandro's in Roxborough is the place to go.
Some other great restaurants are
Gayle and
James. Both are slightly out of the way, but after my last meal at James am convinced it's serving the best food in the city right now.
