Looks like a great American hole-in-the-wall. I would like to eat there sometime.

I’m a massive cheesesteak fan. There’s the famous rivalry between Pat’s and Gino’s across the street. Frankly I think both have rested on their laurels for a while. I was there and did the taste test. Preferred Gino’s, but there are other just as good or better across the city

Jim’s Steaks down South Street a ways is really good, and a cool place to boot..

No, you wouldn’t. Those two Steak joints are not even in the top ten Philly cheese steaks. They are tourist traps... Thanks Rocky :(

It's an institution. Almost 100 years old (founded 1930) and family-owned (Frank is the grandson of one of the two original owners/brothers). This is the place that created the Philly cheesesteak—accept no imitations. Here's another view, from the other end of the building, in calmer times:
