At its peak in 1983, there were 52 restaurants in 12 states. There are only two other locations known to still be in operation: Clearfield, PA and Williamstown, WV. Many of the other buildings have been adapted for other restaurants. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. |

Pat's and Geno's battle it out on opposite corners of the same street. Pat's has been around since 1930 and gets credit for the invention. For those that don't know, a Philly cheese steak is thinly sliced steak and onions on Italian bread, topped with liquid cheese. For more about Pat's, see these websites: 1 and 2.
Geno's Steaks opened in 1966 - right across the street from Pat's. It has its loyal followers as well. For more about Geno's, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. For more about Philadelphia's cheese steaks, see these websites: 1 and2. |
