Today the good fellows from MeatSpin took a trip to Ninth Street and Passyunk to visit the legendary Geno's Steaks. With it's bright orange building and controversial reputation for only allowing customers to order in English, Geno's Steaks is likely the most well known cheesesteak eatery in Philadelphia. Given it's reputation we had high expectations for the quality of the cheesesteak and were not disappointed. The meat and roll are second to none and the steak is wrapped up and ready to be devoured in less than thirty seconds from the time it is ordered. Perhaps the most notable aspect of a Geno's cheesesteak is their "cheese whiz;" a melted cheese poured on top of the cheesesteak adding an extra element not offered at many establishments.
MeatSpin rating: 9.5/10
Pros: Cheese whiz is an excellent addition that should be available at all cheesesteak eateries, Great atmosphere in the heart of south philadelphia, highest overall quality of cheesesteak yet.
Cons: $9:00 for a single cheesesteak is the most expensive we have encountered, limited drink selection (fountain drinks only)
