From that website:

The other joints: Jims: can you take any steak place seriously when it's full with tourists who smother the steak in Cheese Whiz? Steve's Prince: WAY EXPENSIVE for what you get. Dellsandros: garden-variety good steak, but not at that top realm. Geno's & Pat's: I just love when people claim this to be the best. It's emphatically the WORST. (I say "it" because to me the both are indistinguishable.) Its only saving grace is that it is open all night and anything tastes great when you're stoned. Tony Lukes: steaks are very good, but you've GOT to order the pork sandwich when you're there. It is reason enough to convert from Orthodox Judaism.

Actually, this is pretty accurate, imo. Tony Lukes' roast pork sandwich with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe is the best...unfortunately it's also a heart attack on a bun.


Several years ago, a few high school students did a piece for I think the Philly Inquirer where they tried and evaluated many different steak places throughout their summer vacation. I have found that I agree with most if not all of their choices and recommendations. I will try to dig up the article online.

Edited to add the web page. The PI printed a more cohesive list of their picks and notes but it doesn't appear to have made it online.
