The Penn's View Hotel's Guide to the Best Cheesesteaks in Philly
You can't travel to Philadelphia without sampling the cuisine. Remember, if you are in Philly, it's just a cheesesteak, not a Philly steak !
Remember to order with or without ( meaning with or without fried onions) & what cheese you prefer.
Example – “Can I getta provolone wit ? ” – translation
“May I have a cheesesteak with provolone cheese and fried onions ? ” FYI – At Geno’s & Pat’s you need to go to the next window ( to the left) to order drinks & fries .
In no particular order
Jim’s Steaks – 4th & South Sts (Society Hill) Chopped-style steak on soft roll, has a liquor license and indoor seating.
Geno’s Steaks – 9th & Passyunk Ave. (Italian Market/South Philly)
Whole-style steak on a crisper roll. Open 24hrs - outdoor seating.
Pat’s Steaks – Originator of the cheesesteak. (Directly across from Geno’s) Same style and hours as above
Cosmi’s – 8th & Dickinson (South Philly) Not far from Pat’s & Geno’s. Great corner store cheesesteak place. Family owned and operated for generations. Award winning Hoagies. Our General Manager's favorite.
Sonny’s Famous * – (Old City) South side of Market between 2nd & 3rd . Local cheesesteak-only place. Great cheese fries.
