Pat's simply because Geno's has an English only ordering policy.

Really? Yet another reason to avoid Genos besides their tough meat and old bread.

If strictly limited to Pat's or Geno's, Pat's gets my vote, too.

But, if you really want the best cheesesteak, there are far better choices, like dhammer53's recommendation.

Joey Vento, owner of Geno's and the guy responsible for the English-only ordering policy, passes away.

Real cheesesteaks don't have that dairy-diarrhea slathered all over it. I'm Philly-born(late 60's) and no one served "wiz-steaks" when I was growing up there. Although, food was better then as well.

How hard can it be to say "Cheesesteak please" no matter what language you speak?

The point isn't whether it's easy or hard to say "cheesesteak, please". It's that a person shouldn't have to speak a specific language in order to get service. @:-)

Customers can order in any language they want.

They just may find out that they won't be served.
