A couple of my pals and I have decided to center our July 4th debauchery around a Philly cheesesteak tour in, where else but Philadelphia, PA. We're seeing moe. on the 3rd and trucking on down to the city of brotherly love to catch a Phillies game and cram delicious meat and cheese down our throats. I'm pretty excited. However, I could use a few tips from the Philly-based Inforoosters (or anyone else really) on places that we should include in our tour. I already know about Pat's and Geno's and we'll definitely be stopping at both of those. And I hear Jim's (at least I think that's what it's called) is supposed to pretty good too. The less highly publicized and more...uh...hole-in-the-wallier, the better, but we'll be willing to hit up just about anywhere, as we'll have enough corn in our rucksacks to keep us hungry all day.
6/18: Phish in Hartford 6/25: Phish in Camden 7/2-7/4: Nateva 7/17: God Street Wine at Irving Plaza 7/23-7/25: String Cheese at Red Rocks!! 8/17-8/18: Phish at Jones Beach 9/3: Rush at PNC
This Bonnaroo lineup is in dire need of some Rush.
Dalessandro's is considered by some, to be the best cheesesteak in Philly. It's in Roxborough. I know this place well cause it's just a little ways from my abode. There's another place right across the street called Chubby's. It's not as good, but you can drink over there.
Jim's is good, it helps that it's on South St. You can drink there too. Tony Luke's is a place I have not been, but it's also always ranked in the top 5 of cheesesteak places around here.

I would recommend going to Jims or Steaks on South for a great cheesesteak. They are both on South Street so you can eat and look at all the shops that South Street has to offer. If that doesn't satisfy your hunger then you could go to Ishkabibble for the best cheese fries out there and a gremlin (lemonade and grape juice drink). IMO Jims and Steaks on South have the best cheesesteaks. Make sure to get cheese whiz and not some other cheese or it wont be a real cheesesteak and it wont taste as good.
Also, when at the Phillies game you should try a Schmitter or Crab fries. Best ballpark food by far.
extra wiz wit, if you got to tony lukes, pats or genos thats what i always order. extra wiz is the way to go. roast pork with brocolli rabe is amazing from tony lukes. another great place is john roast pork its near tony lukes but you have to get there early because they run out of rolls by like 2 in the afternoon. they dont serve wiz there so dont ask for it but their steaks are amazing. oh and if you go to a phillies game you gotta get a schmitter, they dont sound good to some people but trust me they are
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

I agree that Jim's is good stuff, but I think the place under Fat Tuesday's has the best cheesesteaks on South Street. I thought Tony Lukes was overrated, but they do have a stand at the ballpark. I'd go for one of those over the standard concession cheesesteak.

My first and only cheesesteak experience in Philly was at Geno's, I think. I had high expectations going into it as I thought I was about to bite down on one of the greatest food creations of all times.
I must say... the cheesesteaks at my college dining hall were better than what I had at Geno's. Only a choice of one topping (onion) killed it for me, as I love my peppers and mushrooms thrown in the mix. The steak also tasted kinda dry for me, and my hands weren't oozing in grease with every bite, so maybe this was a slightly healthier choice in cheesesteak dinings.
Either way, not worth the 30-45 minute wait in line. It was good, but not $8 with a ridiculous line good. I'd say look elsewhere

You can get it anyway you like it. Shrooms, hoagie style, with hot peppers or sweet. I've eaten Pat's and Geno's and Jim's and Dalessandros is better. I'm tellin ya. They have good hoagies period.

there is a place my friends went to 3 times when we were there for dead spectrum...right under fat tuesdays (i think). they said it was the bestesttt..ive only had jim's tho soo i duno!
the place under fat tuesday is no good. its just youre run on the mill place, you can get a better cheesesteak from any pizza place you go to. if you go to pats get the cherry soda its the best and their cheese fries are so good, they scoop so much wiz in those fry holder things
