Pat's King of Steaks

Opened in 1930, Pat's chops its steak while Geno 's does not. Grab one of the 1,500 steak sandwiches they make daily - "wit" or "wit-out," your choice.

Visitors can't make a trip to Philadelphia without trying the famous Pat's cheesesteak . Since 1930, this iconic establishment has been making Philly cheesesteaks on fresh Italian rolls.

If you’ve never been, grab a steak from Pat’s and one from Geno’s for a taste test. Spoiler alert: Pat’s wins. Bring cash. Order wit onions and whiz . Grab some of the hot peps by the ketchup 😉

Yes, I know there are better spots and Pat’s is widely considered a tourist trap. That said, they continue to serve up a great authentic cheesesteak and it’s worth it for the experience alone.

Pepper steak wit whiz . Really delicious. Hits the spot . Super fast service , Cash only and can be hard to get a seat. Other than that I'd stop here every trip in Philly.

„Wer A sagt muss auch B sagen.“ - It kinda feels like it with Geno‘s & Pat’s. Visit 1 & you‘ve got to give the other a go top. All in all the place was rather unspectacular compared to the other two.

First window is for steak sandwiches only. Second for fries and drinks. Don't ask the first window because they'll look at you crazy, and say "second window" P.S. Cash only !!

Meat is wonderful. Cheese is scrumptious. Pat's King of Steaks is a masterpiece that you must have especially when you're in Philly. Chucho from Cali, Colombia loves it. Shit talkers shouldn't opine

The best cheese steaks in the world. There's nothing like them. Pats King of Steaks you are the best!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️Love love love your Steaks (Philly Cheese Steaks )

Awesome cheesesteak . As a first timer I preferred Pat's over Geno 's but my wife is vise-versa. Don't forget the cherry peppers .

They say the Philly started here,and from the taste of it,I'd believe it.Featured on "Its Always Sunny",this joints steaks is home to the Phillys humble beginnings.Any trip to the city of brotherly-

Best cheesesteak ever! I love the wiz wit . Just know what you want before u get to the counter. They keep the line moving fast.

Absolute best cheesesteaks in Philly. Order them Wiz Wit ! Walk from Center City through the Italian Market for a treat.

If your in Philly You MUST Come and have a Pats CheeseSteak There to die for ! You Can't say you truly went too Philly till you've wandered into South Philadelphia and stood in the Insane Line in the

These are the best steaks obviously. Don't forget to learn the secret code language or be shamed in front of all your friends as you move to the back of the line

I'm still 50/50 on the merits of a Philly cheesesteak but Pat's is truly the classic. Don't screw around with that weird, loudly advertised, 90s flames Guy Fieri hot mess Geno 's next door.

Really good! Def better than Geno 's! Was a little greasy towards the end of the sandwich but otherwise it was the best Philly cheesesteak EVER!

Always a great time. Just be ready when it's your turn to order! Onions and cheese Whiz please...

Wiz, Wit!! This is your stop for your first Philly! Atmosphere makes it!! Cash only though!!!

It’s a good standard cheesesteak Order onions with the wiz. Don’t be intimidated by the line it moves fast. $11 for a steak is on the high side. But it’s the whole Philly experience.

The older establishment of the two “feuding” restaurants , I prefer this one because their bread is softer!

Original and still the best! Avoid weekend afternoons and holidays, packed with tourists .

In local lore, Pat's King of Steaks has long been ceded the honor of having invented this delicacy (wit out cheese ) in the 1930s. Read more

Pats is a GAZILLION TIMES BETTER than Geno’s !!! Don’t be fooled by the bright lights. It’s all show.

There are two lines one for the cheese steaks one for the fries and drinks..if you have two people with you...split up!...i was done the cheese steak before i got my fires! But it was Yummy!

Great spot in Philly 😍😋. Slightly far from city center, but worth trying for street food 👌🏼

I'm an out-of-towner visiting Philly for the 1st time. Was so excited about Pat's because of all the hype. All I can say is the meat was fresh, but it was also tough and had no flavor whatsoever.

Tried Geno 's & Pat's- Pat's is better hands down! The difference? At Pat's the steak was chopped up, with the cheese whiz on top of all of the toppings instead of the bun . Much better!!!

The original and creator of Philly cheese 🧀 steak 🐮 is still soooo good!!

The first home of the cheesesteak and a true Philly sight!

Better meat than Geno 's but staff 's very pushy to move the line . Know what you want ahead of time if possible. They should put some menu signs near beginning of line .

Do the Cheesesteak Challenge - have one from Pat's and one from Geno 's and then pick your side of the street. When you order from either, just specify your type of cheese and whether you want onions .

The famous Pat's and Gino's, across from each other..1st cheese steak in Philly, rib eye meat,cheese wiz, same recipe from 1940

the best Philly cheese steak in all of Philly. line moves fast and is so worth it! get cheez wiz!

Whiz wit is my favorite!!! Better know your stuff before ordering here or it's the back of the line for yah! Best cheesesteaks in Philly hands down!!!

Pat’s King of Steaks claims that its founder, Pat Olivieri, invented the steak sandwich in 1930. Have your order ready as you approach the counter, & know whether you want your steak "Wit" or "Witout" Read more

Wit whiz ! One line for sandwiches , the other for drinks and fries . Cash only .

Being a Brit, I wanted to try a "proper" cheesesteak ; thank to my friends from NJ took me to Pat's August 2012! I cannot wait to go back!! Amazing service!

Two lines , one for drink and one for food. If you're in a party, divide and conquer. One person scope out seats, one get food, and one get drinks.

Great flavor. Breading is easy to bite through to get to the melted goodness that it holds. 2 thumbs up!

Love Pat's! Stop by every time we're in town fries are very good as well !

My first Philly cheese steak experience was delicious!

Hard to say what makes it best, but definitely very good. Ask local before going there. There may be lines

The venerable old favorite still makes a tasty sandwich , though tough to recommend over Geno 's, which is right across the street. Maybe for a changeup once in awhile.

It wouldn't be a trip to Philly without a Philly Cheesesteak ! The original home of the cheesesteak , Pat’s King of Steaks is still owned and operated by the original family!

Be sure to know how to order, the line moves super fast!

Drive around the block twice to nab great parking , and say thank you to the guys taking your order, nothing brings a bigger smile to there face when some one gives them an authentic "thank you".

Order FAST. They don't want to wait! Say: "Steak with and wiz" ("with" means onions . Say "without", if you don't want them. I highly recommend "with", though.) Don't order any cheese ! Wiz is the way!

Best cheese steaks in Philly, go for the classic "Wiz Wit "- that's with onions and cheese whiz ; there's no time to waste, so have your order ready, get it right, or get to the back of the line .
