Pat's King of Steaks and Geno's Steaks are the two most famous restaurants in Philadelphia bar none. Pat's vs. Geno's is a debate that has raged for decades now and everyone has an opinion on which they prefer. There's one thing to keep in mind though: By everyone I don't mean most Philly locals. Pat's and Geno's are mostly tourist attractions and local Philadelphians don't really eat there, unless they are entertaining out-of-towners. They are far from the best cheesesteak in Philly even if they both have the claim to being the first cheesesteak in Philly.
Still, Pat's and Geno's are such an iconic Philly rivalry, and such a well-known rivalry from foodies in general, I do think it is worth checking them out at least once in your life. Tourist destinations are tourist attractions for a reason: Because they're fun! I think it's still fun to check these two spots out, even if you know they won't be the best Philly cheesesteaks you'll ever have. Besides the historical significance of the two restaurants, Sometimes, what's most important is that you have a good time!
Is Pat's King of Steaks a tourist trap? Is Geno's Steaks a tourist trap? The answer to both questions are indubitably yes. But still, let's see if Pat's is better than Geno's or if Geno's is better than Pat's just for the fun of it!
