Arrow Pats Vs Genos Philly Cheesesteaks...What do you prefer?

I like Genos for simply one reason that they dont chop up the meat.

Their hot sauce is amazing as well.


What do you prefer? and Why?

Check out the Philly forum for this topic; it's been covered quite a bit. Pat's of course. ^ The bread is freshly baked, love the generous portions of rib eye and onions...yum! Marries well with the cheese.

EDIT: I just tried both today. Geno's wins, hands down. Much juicier and the bread was better.

Gosh it's probably been almost 25 years (and pre-Cheez Wiz days) since I've been to either one but I still remember my preference was always Geno's.

On the contrary, "whiz with" is the ONLY way I will have a cheesesteak

You do mean "Wiz Wit," right?

Mmmmmm. It was so delicious where I can eat Philly cheesesteak. I will go to Charlie's for next time if I can have a lunch.

Pat's or Geno's? Neither.

John's Roast Pork on Snyder just west of Delaware Avenue is the best cheesesteak in town. Also, their roast pork is pretty good too. If you don't want to go all the way down there, you could do a lot worse than Jim's.
