Philly Cheesesteaks

[Huskyforlife]

In central Philly at the moment. Looking for the best that don't use cheese wiz. Thanks.

Bit south of Central Philly but @ Tony Luke’s and Jim’s Cheese Steak (on South St) you can get your steak topped with your choice Provolone, American cheese or plastic Cheez.

There’s so much better food then cheesesteak in philly. If you must have a sandwich get a roast pork with broccoli rab at Denic’s In Reading Terminal Market.

I’d say Tony Luke’s. It’s a chain, but it’s pretty good.

Also, I second the Denic’s recommendation. The Brisket is amazing.

Third vote for Dinics.

Dinic's doesn't do a cheesesteak. Go to John's roast pork.

Not on Sundays.... closed (Mondays too).

I second Jim’s, on South Street. Provi.

I did some work north of philly a few years ago, and there was a deli that made the most incredible cheesesteak I have ever had, although I would feel it for about a day afterward.

Did Philly the other month. DiNics was good, but not a cheesesteak. Best cheesesteak I had was Dalessandro's Steaks. It's not in downtown but worth the drive.

Agreed... I stayed away from suggesting that because it’s kind of squirrelly to get to from Downtown. Their Italian Hoagie and Antipasto Salad are awesome too..

Jim's on South Street. Good steak, no wiz unless you ask for it and a decent place to go sit and eat (upstairs.) I enjoy South Street anyways.

 

[browndog319]

There are so many better places to eat in Philly. I have to agree. I haven’t been to Denic’s but I’m going to now.
Good Dog has the best burger and is just damn cool.
I love Jones for just comfort food (I’m a big Steven Starr person, though).

Deli on 4th, Conshohocken. Warning: place is kind of a dump, but the Philly steaks are awesome.

Get the Italian pork. Best in the city.

Is it pats and Genoa next to each other down town? Pats meats are better but the bread is better at gs

I grew up in eastern PA. I and a lot of my friends were always of the opinion that the best cheesesteaks were at some of the neighborhood bars and mom and pop shops in some of the suburbs.

I second this. But the OP was downtown.

 

[Zissou]

Try Federal Donuts downtown. Chicken and Donuts.

Best thing about Jim’s is they’re the only cheesesteak joint with a beer license. At least that was the case a few years ago. An ice cold
cheap High Life bottle only ramped up the cheesesteak experience.

Lived in KOP for a 6 month rotation until March and just got back to CT from a weekend Philly trip. I tried Paesano’s today in Fishtown. It’s pretty good, but not the best I’ve had.

Jim’s or Tony Luke’s for more South-Central Philly. John’s Roast Pork has a good cheesesteak too. Dinic’s Roast Pork sandwich in Reading Terminal is center city but no cheesesteak. Dalessandro’s for a bit outside the city. Woodrow’s is probably my favorite because of their Truffle Wiz but sounds like that’s not an option.
