Geno's Steaks claims to have the Best Cheesesteak in Philly. It says so right on their website. So we stopped there first to set the bar and see where everyone else faired. Geno's is open 24/7 and features bright signage that lights up the neighbourhood at night.

We recommend getting an Uber or Taxi to Geno's Steaks if you plan on going, as it is located in South Philly in a small area with not a lot of parking. People tend to just try and pull up and leave their car on the street, but at night the traffic can be slow outside of Geno's Steaks. 

At Geno's Steaks you can see the staff making your food through a glass window as you salavate in anticipation for your Philly Cheesesteak. The staff was very friendly, we even had on opposing team jerseys and went at 11:30 pm with out any trouble from anyone. Everyone is just looking to get some great food in South Philly and order a delicious Philly Cheesesteak at Geno's Steaks.

Be sure to grab some napkins as you enjoy your sandwich, especially if you order a Philly Cheesesteak with 'wiz'. The cheese just oozes out with every bite. We found most Philly Cheesesteaks with Onion and Mushrooms cost between $10-$12 USD per sandwich.

If you are up for the challenge, we recommend trying one Philly Cheesesteak at Geno's Steaks and one across the street at Pat's. If you are visiting Philadelphia for a couple days and have another foodie with you, we suggest ordering one Philly Cheesesteak with 'wiz' cheese and one with American cheese. Ripping the Cheesesteak in half is an easy task. Deciding which half you take is the hard part.
