NileGuide Expert tip:
If you're going to try a Philly cheesesteak, this is the corner to come to. As you wait in line to place your order, check out the competition across the street at Pat's, and prepare to say what you want when you get to the ordering window -- everything here happens at lightening speed!
Description:
- Geno's Steaks has been a key member of the famous Philadelphia Cheesesteak triad (Geno's, Pat's, Jim's) for as long as memory serves. A typical topic of conversation among Philadelphians is which one of these masters of the rib eye reigns supreme. Some say Geno's sandwiches are bigger but Pat's are better. Truth be told, any of the three do justice to the city's signature sandwich. Located across from arch-nemesis Pat's in South Philadelphia near the Italian Market. Outside seating only.

Overrated!

We tried both Geno's and Pat's, both of us liked Pat's more, juicier than Geno's so there's more taste when minus adding other stuff.

Bad Food, Terrible Service

I went to Geno's years ago and genuinely enjoyed my sandwich and the assembly-line style service. They asked you everything that you wanted on your steak. Since then, the food...
