Weird. I literally just finished eating a cheesesteak from Pat's. More out of convenience than anything else since both Pat's and Geno's are three blocks away from my house and I was hungry with an empty fridge.
It's true neither one is really anything to write home about, but if you have to choose, it's Pat's all the way. Geno's looks like someone vomited neon all over the place and, more importantly, has inferior steaks. If it was better than Pat's the politics wouldn't really matter to me but since it isn't the "This is America, Please Speak English" sign and the fact that they offer "Freedom Fries" makes it twice as unappealing.
Pat's = better steaks, far better fries, less fanatical right-wing maniacs lurking in the shadows, etc.
But if you're near south street just go to Jim's or the little trumpeted La Pizzeria.
