Pat's and Geno's are garbage. Locals don't eat there. Go to a local shop and get a real cheese steak.
I know, I know. I lived in Philly decades ago. See my comment #20. The criteria for me...the shop had to be good but close. When I lived on Bustleton Ave, there was a hole-in-the-wall within walking distance. In Bensalem Township, I drove...but just down the street.
