the cookies are soft. They are overpriced but I was curious about the different flavor profiles.

what's your opinion on Tony Lukes?
the Original Tony Lukes im guessing right on Oregon ave ?
now renamed to Tony & Nicks Steaks over family issues and the IRS
I used to visit this place A LOT when i was younger, haven't recently been there in a good bit but from what I remember it wasn't that bad. Non seeded rolls i believe they use
i always use to split a Roastpork and a cheese steak from here but deff always enjoyed the roastpork more
during or after phillies games that place gets packed since its 2-3 miles walking distance
im going to have to check it out some time soon myself again
the 3 main places ill say stay away from in Philly is - Philips (used to love them but not sure what the hell happened), Genos and Pats

These are all excellent options. People say D'Alessandro fell off but I've never had an issue. I'd actually swap Johns to 1 and Angelo's to 2 because I feel the steak has more flavor at John's. Angelos bread is elite but their steak isn't as seasoned.
Wild card option is Cafe Carmela. It's out in the suburbs but the cheesesteak I had was very good and you can order ahead online.
i know the female owner of Cafe Carmela really well, deff a great recommendation.. ALL of the food is delicious
South Philly is small so we all know eachother some way or another
real good hospitality and dope family

Made some cutlets. Used a few for chicken francese. Never done it before. Got some kinks to work out with the sauce but was good.
Got inspired by scrolling through Christian Petroni’s IG. He’s always posting some fire Italian.

This is the best
Jim’s has always been my go-to. Hadn’t heard about the fire. Nice that they are expanding the space though.
Want to try Angelo’s because the bread looks amazing but definitely not feeling that wait.
Been to John Roast Pork but didn’t have the cheesesteak.
What about Ishkabibbles or whatever?
Ishkabbibles Chicken Cheesesteak and gremlin drink combo Half lemonade/half grape juice
Crazy how they are right across the street from eachother like pats/genos
You dont hear about ishkibbles much but most ppl would grab a jims steak than walk across st for fries since jims dont sell em

While you’re here, have you ever been to South Philly Barbacoa?
Was talking about Philly with a coworker last night and they had mentioned it. I looked it up and it was already on my saved list. Just haven’t gone yet.

Maybe I got lucky at Angelo’s, but my wait was only 15 minutes on a Friday at 1:00. 
You can always call ahead too.

Do people still lineup for cheesesteaks from Geno's and Pat's? Or has word gotten out even to tourists that there's better options in Philly?

I think I forgot to post in here, but someone sent us cheesesteaks from Pats from Goldbelly last week. I know they probably spent WAY too much money
Wasn’t terrible.
