Pat's and Geno's are at 9th and Passyunk.  Another suggestion is Jim's Steaks on South St.  My personal favorite is D'Allesandro's in Roxborough, but Jim's, Pat's and Geno's get the most attention, probably because they're more accessible.

What the heck, have one from each place and decide for yourself which is best.

Philadelphia Cheeseburgers In Order of Personal Preference:

Best:  Delasandro's on Henry Avenue
2nd:  White House Subs in Atlantic City
3rd:  Silvio's in Hatboro
4th:  Chubby's across from Delasandro's
5th:  Geno's Steaks 9th and Passyunk
6th:  Jim's Steak's on South Street
7th:  Tony Lukes -Front and Oregon  Better you should get a pork sandwich there
- another Philly tradition
40th:  Pat's Steak's  9th and Passyunk

You need to get at least two cheesesteaks.  One made like they do at Delsandro's with Provolone.  The other, from Gino's or Jim's and a philly classic, oozing with cheese wiz.  Either way, order it with fried onions.

My website has pics, addresses and a short write up on most of the above. The picture of my shirt on the home page shows the fallout from a Geno's Cheesesteak with Cheese Wiz and Fried onions or, as you should order it, a "Wiz, With"

Enjoy,

Geno's or Pats in S. Phila., Jim's on South Street.  My personal favorite is Larry's at 54th St. & City Line.  There's also Dalassandro's in Roxborough. And you absolutely must sample a roast pork sandwich with spinach (or broccoli rabe if you prefer) at Tony Lukes on Oregon Ave.  The best!!
