Some posters (not me) get sensitive when you use that term and will call you a homophobe. At least they will in the Blog. And they get one of these

Lately Ive been ordering the Tiger Steak (steak, chicken, bacon) from Masterpiece Grill here in Conshohocken, pretty solid. My current favorite though is the Triple Prime Cheesesteak at the Pepper Mill out in West Chester, PA. Love it there. Dalessandro's sold and has new owners - the last time I went there it was slow, yet they had a giant pile of overcooked meat on the grill. It was gross. I just moved out of Conshy and Masterpeace was good, but weren't on any of the delivery apps. They're probably the best in Conshy. (Although the place that was there before they opened used to use Liscios rolls and Masterpeace switched to Conshohocken Bakery, which are too doughy) Lenny's Deli on Fayette used to have awesome cheesesteaks, but they have new owners and the rolls aren't as good. I moved to Willow Grove this month and have been ordering from Lee's, which is better than anything I had in my past 7 years living in Conshy
May 19, 20205 yr yeah I'd be weary if I went into a place that was slow and had meat like that waiting. its like Chinese buffet, if you're gonna chance it, make sure its busy AF. I have steves around the corner from me, so im pretty much set for my taste. ironically ill be making cheesesteaks on the griddle for dinner tonight.

I grew up in Northeast Philly, pretty much in the middle between ****'s (now Joe's) and Steve's. There was also a place called Frusco's back in the late 90's that had pretty good steaks on Frankford Ave. I think they just opened a Tony Luke's somewhere in Mayfair, last I heard.

I grew up in olney so we had to travel a lil to get a "great" steak sammich. The pat's near us on the boulevard was, well, horrible. but yeah, I have had frusco's and still go by ****'s. the best we had near us IMO was stoxys by burholme park.
May 28, 20205 yr Mike's South Philly BBQ has a good brisket cheesesteak. Has to be viewed like the Schmitter from McNally's - a specialty steak. Not a traditional sammy but very delicious. I hope they survive COVID.
June 17, 20205 yr For an out-of-towner (out-of-country, really) I feel like I've had quite a few different cheesesteaks, but still lacking the awesome "hole in the wall" experience. IMO, from the places I've ate at, I'd rank it: John's (It's in South Philly, I think they specialize in roaster pork) > Tony Luke's > Chickie & Pete's > Pat's > Geno's

Plus, they usually have cute 20-something girls in tank tops cooking the steaks and working the counter. The neighborhood has gone downhill, but you should be good during the day. (They also have a Fishtown location, but I would rather stick with the original if you want the hole in the wall experience.)

I can't believe I never bought a shirt before they caved and changed the name. I used to always talk about it when we went there. I spent a good deal of time in the Mayfair/Torresdale area growing up since my grandmother and brother lived there. In other news, they recently had to shut down because an employee came down with Corona 😞

It was asiago or some other insanely sharp cheese that should only be eaten in slivers. Tasted toxic. I'll go back but never order "sharp" again.
July 14, 20205 yr How the F has nobody mentioned Jim's on South Street? My wife has celiacs disease, and the 1 time she came back home to Philly with me, I didn't give a F and I made her watch me eat my cheesesteak, provolone, without. Jim's is way better than Geno's or Pat's (although I like them both). I've never been to John's, but it sounds like I really need to next time I'm home. Random hole in the wall cheesesteak place/story. One of my best friends went to Widener, and the exit to get there was off of McDade Blvd right before the airport on the blue route. There was this random sheethole convenient store called Liberty right off the exit. Next to Liberty was the beer distributor. When I came home from college during the summer, I would go party with him out there all the time, and we would start off the night by crushing a cheesesteak from Liberty and picking up a pony keg next door. It's better than any cheesesteak you'll get anywhere outside of Philadelphia. As good as Geno's or Pat's.

Ishkabbiles across the street is better, and they also invented the chicken cheesesteak

August 3, 20205 yr just to be clear, not saying liberty isnt any good, cant say as i havent tried one, just pointing out that steve's is better than pats or genos. and btw - eventhough i think genos and pats are overrated, doesnt mean i wouldnt eat one of theirs sammys.
August 9, 20205 yr I went after the show aired, good joint but not the best.... take my advice, light onions.... or else
