- Which did I like better? The original at Pat's? Or Geno's right across the street? In this video I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of both sandwiches.

Geno’s and Pat’s are both touristy spots. If you want the best cheesesteaks in Philly, I recommend John’s or Angelo’s.
I reviewed Angelo’s and Max’s on my pizza channel as bonus reviews at the end of the pizza reviews. Link to the channel in my description. Search for the Angelo’s review and Pizzeria Beddia.
John’s roast pork?
What’s the address for John’s and Angelo’s?
Never visited. There's a place here in Brooklyn called Federoff's Roast Pork, I think they're affiliated with the John's Philly spot. Angelo's just opened a Cheesesteak food truck in Manhattan. @@matthewread79
Not sure, I just use Google maps@@matthewread79
Everyone always compares the two. As a resident, I feel pat's is for tourists and genos is for residents. Both have gone down in quality because their heads have gotten big and they forgot where they came from. My last genos steak was horrible 😫 😢 personally I prefer Max's at broad and Erie instead or Jim's Steaks on 4th and south. Even the fresh works at 21st and reed comes out ahead of those two considering the amount of steak you get for $9.50. Which you can make 2 sandwiches out of
I reviewed Max's on my other CZcams channel as a bonus after my Pizzeria Beddia review. I usually just review pizza on my other channel. Link in the description of my videos if interested. I really loved Max's, better than Angelos
It's good to support local establishments. I'm a fan of provolone cheese. If you live nearby, these places are convenient, if you have a craving for cheesesteak sandwiches, and the fact that they are open 24 hours is a bonus. I remember buying cherry peppers at an Italian supermarket. They are definitely spicy. 1930. The one establishment is 93 years old, which is how old my dad will be, this year. Thanks for sharing this review. Cheers, Antonio! 👍👍✌️
Glad you enjoyed the video Dwayne, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Nice video Antonio . Like you said you got to do this at least once . God bless !
I’ve eaten at both. To me the meats have a blandness to it. Personally I like cheesesteak meats to be charred and cooked extra well done. It should still be tender though due to the thinness. I also like a homemade version of cheese whiz or another brand of melted cheese that’s better than cheese whiz. ……..A strange variation that I Ike is no cheese but barbecue sauce instead. In some rare cases, some cheesesteak places can offer that if you specifically requested it.
I put ketchup and pickles on it off camera. I also sliced the cherry peppers and put it on the sandwiches. I didn't want any on it initially because I wanted to only taste the steak and onions. I would welcome a quality wiz, perhaps made with some cheddar melted in with some sour cream.
@@AntonioonthegoWhen you get a chance, try Lillo's in Hainesport NJ and Meat Heads in Lawrenceville NJ. Trust and believe it's worth the trip.
It looks both are in a dead heat. Geno's meat look good, but Pat's bread looked better. This is a hard call. Like how Pat's had the sales tax included in the total price, wish more places would do that. Can't believe that they are open 24/7 amazing. Nothing like hot cherry peppers, cheesesteak and coffee @ 7 a.m. to jumpstart your day. Also, I heard that Philly really has some good Hot Italian Beef sandwiches also. Next time you're in Philly you might want to check it out.
Cold cut roast beef is definitely inferior to this stuff; which is basically real sliced beef from steak. I start my day at 7pm lollllllllll
I can't remember which of the two I liked more when I tried them, but I know that I liked them both. You should try one of the Philly roast pork sandwiches next time, they're so good!
Yeah those pork sandwiches are definitely on the itinerary. I have had quite a few Philly Cheesesteaks to know that these were not the greatest though. Still satisfiable.
You want to go to John's for roast pork
I figured you'd do at least one more food video of some kind while you were in Philly. Thanks to you, the first thing I think about when I think of that town is Angelo's. I was wondering while I was watching this video how many cheesesteak joints around there use their bread. Those both looked solid. I completely agree about how chopping meat up makes it dry out faster. I think it also makes it cook down more. And there are very few things I like American cheese on, but a Philly cheesesteak is one of them.
Cheese wiz is what they're built for, it's basically like a nacho cheese. I couldn't muster up the courage to choose that option. I know I should have...
@@Antonioonthego yeah, American cheese and cheese whiz really are two different things. But the flavor is very similar to me.
I like Pat's more than Geno's but both are good
I like Pat's better too.
@@Antonioonthego 👍👊
I feel like these are the standard when it comes to cheese steaks. Not the best but if want a classic 1st form Philly, go here
Just wanted to see the old places. I reviewed Max's and Angelo's on my other channel.
The answer to which is better is anyone else go to anyone else.
I liked Pat's better
How did you get from south Philadelphia to Staten Island, car or train?
It's only an hour and and 20 minutes away at most by car. I drive, I never take trains.
@@Antonioonthego okay I didn’t know how long the drive was. I think train said it was 4 hours. I thought train 🚊 would be quicker
From Staten Island, it's a breeze. I can get to Philly quicker than I can get to the Bronx.@@matthewread79
Where do you think are the best 2 or 3 cheesestakes in Philly?
Angelo's is the best and Max's
Love to give both a try but I'm in NW IL! 😩
Safe Journey!
CHOLULA!!!
They ship
@@mensa517 Thanks for letting me know but it isn't the same as freshly made.
Safe Journey!
CHOLULA!!!
side bites... you monster! 😱
lollllllllllll
I can remember in cold to eat cheesestake
& the winner is...Sugar Hill Subs Mays Landing NJ
I gave Angelo's a big thumbs up.
Wow the kid didn’t go to Johns Roast pork
That place closes too early, I lose all respect for places that close at 5pm.
I’ve eaten at Johns Roast pork. In my opinion it’s good but not enthusiastically good. I used to live in Philly and to be honest the pork sandwiches are not really a popular thing. None of my Philly friends have ever eaten a pork sandwich.
To be honest, when I visit Philly my favorite joints are the taco places
@@ramencurry6672 Max's is my favorite. I reviewed it at the end of my Pizzeria Beddia review.
Your correct I don’t think I drive that far to grab a stake sandwich
Meat Headz in Lawrenceville NJ is worth a drive. I didn't know it could get any better than all the good spots in Phila until I tried Meatheadz. Trust and believe you will be highly satisfied.
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon
Am I the only one who was annoyed he didn't clear his microwave?
They were still warm and I am used to eating cold Italian roast beef sandwiches out here lol
I'm going to guess that you are a Sagittarius.
Taurus
Pays 13-14 for a cheese steak and says they are inexpensive ones lol everyone from Philly knows better cheese steaks are about $8-$9 tops lol
I paid $19 at Max's Steaks, and I think $15 or $16 at Angelo's.
@@Antonioonthego yea that's a lot, I hear Angelo's is good though but all regular pizza shops in Philly you get a cheese steak for $8-$9
As a life long philly resident I can tell you they both suck.
Yeah, I went for the history more than anything else. Angelo's just opened up a place here in Manhattan. I think it's cheesesteaks only though, not sure.
Over priced and Over hyped
I look at them as museums.
I'm born and raised in Philadelphia PA but both places are mainly for tourists there other places way better.
I like Max's. I had Angelo's. I plan on doing more of these someday.
@@Antonioonthego also here are some recommendations dallasandros. John's roast pork cheesesteaks. Carmen's. Cleavers. Woodrows. Max's of course you already tried.
Been to Philly a few times and have not ever stopped. 🫤 would love to try them!! 😎💪
It was a nice experience.
I wonder why this no interest been done thousands of times video is here?
Here? I will occasionally review food on this channel.
