Pat's King of Steaks

If you like traditional Philly cheese steaks one has to stop by the original creator of the iconic sandwich. Remember this is chopped steak, and know how to order BEFORE approaching the window. You can find the proper "procedure" on their website if you don't know how to order or you're not too sure. Be aware... they're kind of pricey. Don't get me wrong, they're about 12 inches, however for $18-19 EACH you're genuinely paying for the name here. These are your basic, classic no frills Philly Cheese Steaks.

We are travelers on a road trip, we have visited couple of place in Philadelphia like the USS NEW JERSEY, The Museum of Art and we heard about Pat's Steak!! We stop at the restaurant and this is the best Subs we ever ate! We are going in Virginia in the next month and if we have time to stop again we will come back for sure!

The meat was sliced way too thick making it tough to eat. I prefer meat that is thinly sliced or chopped. You could hardly tell there was cheese on it and the roll tasted like it was burnt which completely ruined the taste of the entire cheese steak.They also do not provide complimentary cherry peppers like some other places do. I was not impressed with the "King of Steaks". It was very disappointing and most likely the last time I eat there.

Being the tourist I was when visiting Philly and having heard about these “rivals” I tried both Geno’s and Pats, to see which I thought was the best. I have to say I was sorely disappointed. Both are well below average Philly cheesesteak sandwiches that I have had throughout my life. If these are representatives of what the Philly cheesesteak sandwich should be like, then the city and state and all those that take any amount of pride that a sandwich has your name on it, should hold their heads in shame. Both Pat’s and Geno’s steak had no flavor, seemed steamed or boiled. Geno’s had very little cheese or onions and the bread was tough and chewy. Pat’s had good amount of cheese and onions. The bread was not tough or chewy. I do not recommend either, I would suggest finding the local favorite

I'm from Winston Salem, so this was my first time ever. I've never had an authentic Philly cheese steak, so had to check them out. Sandwich was ok, the service was fast and the crew was cool. It was early so we were the only ones there. I feel later in the day, this corner would be the place to be.
