Mmm, cheese steak.

Just a break from big tech corruption.

The Jersey Mike’s chain does a good cheese steak sandwich outside of Philly. Penn Station doesn’t compare.

Local chain in Michigan for a real good steak and cheese sub is Tubby’s.

I’ve been to both Pat’s and Gino’s while passing thru Philly.
I personally liked Gino’s better than Pat’s.
Gino’s chopped their steak meat. Pat slices it then.
I prefer the chopped style.
However both were tasty.

Moochies in Salt Lake City does a good Philly. I haven’t been to Philly in 35 years and do not plan to visit that corrupt state.

I prefer my cheesesteak with fried onions, provolone, hot peppers, ketchup or sauce, and unchopped. Worked in Philly for 25 years and found the best cheesesteak to be at Casapullas in Wilmington, De.

Fifty years ago, there was a corner steak shop in Downingtown, PA that made the best steaks imaginable. Back in that era you mostly got your steaks from some independent steak shop in the corner owned by an Italian guy. There were no chains with homogenized, bland sandwiches.

You simply got meat, onions, melted provolone (you usually didn’t even get a cheese choice), and the fresh baked roll. Any sort of sauce was sacrilege as was the very idea of Cheese-Wiz. The chef would expertly chop and mix the ingredients on the grill to perfection and pop it piping hot onto the roll.

Used to be a super place in Rochester, NY in the 60s-70s.
Called Campi’s and my mouth still waters over it.

Dellessandro's in Philly is as good as the others mentioned. Also, it's probably closed for the season now, but the Forksville General Store was actually voted the best cheesesteak in PA a few years ago.

Big Mike's in Forksville:

Sorry, but the best cheesesteaks, IMHO are from Philly. I have had the good fortune to have traveled to almost every major metro area and I grew up in a town halfway between Philly and NYC. I have made a point to try them in any city that claims to make a "Philly Cheesesteak". Many good attempts but none are good as what I have gotten in Philly.

There is an old joke about pizza that also applies to cheesesteaks: It's like sex. Even it's not the best...it's still pretty damn good.

Jersey Mikes cheese steak SUCKS. Sub Galley or Crow Point Pizza in Hinham Ms made a far far superior product. Cheese Whiz belongs in elementary school snack boxes. Us food snobs detest chain sub shops.

Half these bozos wouldn't know a cheesesteak from a subway sandwich.

Cheez Whiz...seriously?

I lived 12 years in Maryland, not far from Baltimore. Yet, the best cheesesteak I’ve ever had was at a food truck at a gun show in Oregon.
