The ONLY Gino's that should be in South Eastern PA is this one in South Philly...

Who the fuck would eat there, when Pat's is across the street?

Pat's tastes like greasy shit. I ate there one time and so much grease pured out that it soaked my lap and burned me. I then go sick afterwards from too much grease. I like a greasy steak (it wouldn't be a true Philly Cheese Steak with out it) but Pat's goes over board. I'll take a Gino's, Tony Luke's or Gooey Looie's any day. I had one from some little take out joint on 2nd street in South Philly last week and it was excellent as well.

If you wanna talk Philly steak, there is but one; Jim's.

...And I don't mean South Street (although they now make a good sandwich), but I mean the original location at 62nd and Noble.

Anything else is a mis-steak.

Unfortunately I have never had Jim's but if it the place I think it is, we drove past the one on South Street and the line was out the door and around the corner at 2pm. I may have to make the trip.

Angus beef, Amoroso roll. BEST. STEAK. EVAR.

The South Street location grill is now well seasoned, and finally making steaks on par with the mother store, but I'm nostalgic, and always like going to the old place. Besides, you don't have to fight off the throngs of people always lined up out the door at South Street.

There's a reason why there's a line there, day or night. Jim's is the finest Philly steak there is.

It may be this "bromance" thing I have been hearing of. Still, if it involves cheesesteaks, I can only condone it.

On a more serious note I saw the Pat Vs. Geno's thing on Food Network...I'd take that challenge any day! Around here Mexican food is king, but we do have one decent place that does cheese steaks called "Billadelphia." They even use Cheese Wizz and everything. Pretty good stuff, I can only imagine what a place like Jim's serves up!

Jim's is among the best sandwiches on Earth. Really.

As for Pat's vs. Genos, Hokie is fucking nuts.

Pat's is the original Philly steak. The meat isn't as good as Jim's, but the roll is ridiculous...and cheese whiz? Food of the gods.

Have you HAD a Jim's? It's been voted best Philly steak more times than I can remember.

I'd be interested to try not only John's steak, but the Pork.

Now I will say I have not had a Gino's or Pat's in well over 10 years so who know if they have changed. All I know is that the steak I had from some carry out place on 2nd a week ago was to DIE for. But then again I live in the south now so I have been craving ANY real philly steak for years. Let us know how they are!

My take on da Philly steak:

#1 Jim's
#2 Pat's (the original steak) ...but they're open 364, so when Jim's is closed...
#3 Doesn't fucking matter.

BTW, this wasn't meant to be a Steak Sandwich thread.

GINO'S motherfuckers! Nobody's heard of this shit? I'm the oldest motherfucker here?

It used to be the only place you could get Kentucky Fried Chicken in the Northeast, until they opened their own locations.

NOBODY??? The Gino Giant? The Sirloiner? The cute Jingle?

C'MON!!!

Yeah, my bro is here from Philly, and he filled me in on Steve's. Said it's not like other sammiches...that it's like chunks of steak. He also said "it's good, but it ain't Jim's".

Soooooo...with that said, I'd say that your Steak adventure still requires one more stop; 62nd and Noble.
