by Simon L. on Every city has one and Philadephia's is GENO's (and Pat's)... what i am talking about is an overrated restaurant that is riding on some old reputation that continues to suck in the tourists...without the hype, this place would have went under a long time ago. The biggest disappointment is the lack of taste. Without the cheese, i wouldn't be able to sense any taste but salt. Where is the flavor? I hear that they are choosy with their meat, but if thats the case, they surely chose wrong. The meat is dry and as its cooked whole and sliced, the meat stays dry. (pat's ain't much better but atleast they were smart enough to chop it up to make it seem less dry) I love food rivalries and i love philly cheesesteak sandwiches but these 2 places really aren't worth the hype. I know that avoiding these places as a tourist is like going to Egypt without seeing the Pyramids, but i guarantee that you will have a much better food experience if you avoid these 2 tourist traps. BAD BREAD, DRY MEAT, TASTELESS.
by Casey S. on I actually like this place even though the food is not the healthiest. It has a lot of history and the hot dogs are awesome. Just don't go too often!
