I just wrote a guest post about things to see in Philadelphia. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Philadelphia a few times. One time I stayed for a work assignment for 2 months. I remember the first time I ever went to Philadelphia a number of people name one place in particular to get a good authentic Philly cheese steak. My first taste and I was hooked. So I’m gonna share some of these places with you.
1. Jim’s Steaks – This is one of the first places that always comes up. They have several locations but one is on the popular South Street. Where you can also find great entertainment, many cultural flavors, and great shopping. Jim’s Steaks is said to be one of the best but expect to wait if you want to try one of these cheese steaks. I had the pleasure of trying one of these one of my first visits to Philly and it’s something I’ll never forget. You know how they say scents and flavors can take you back to a certain moment. This is one for me, it was a class field trip to Philadelphia.
2. Steak and Hoagie Factory in Hatfield, PA – When I did my 2 month assignment in Philadelphia I stayed in a north east suburb called Hatfield. There is where I discovered the Steak and Hoagie Factory. I thought these were so good that I went there about every other week. I wanted to go more but you know I was concerned about my arteries and all lol. They have other yummy menu items too.
3. Geno’s – when asking around about where to get a good Philly Cheese steak this name often comes up in conversation. I’ll be honest I’ve not personally tried it but it’s in just about every top ten list.
4. Sonny’s Famous Steaks – If you’re visiting Philadelphia to take in the history then you can stop by here while checking out the Liberty Bell. Sounds like a win-win to me.
What is your favorite place to get a Philly Cheese Steak?
I have never had anything like these cheese steaks before. This one looks so delicious. Where I live, we do not have any restaurants that serve anything like this.
Wow these cheesesteaks look good enough to eat too bad I cant but I live in PA. and I will have to find these places and try them out; Thanks for sharing.
