Overview

Located directly across from Pat's King of Steaks, Geno's Steaks was founded in 1966 by Joey Vento and has been part of the famous cheesesteak rivalry that draws visitors from around the world. Geno's is known for its bright neon lights, flashy decor, and slightly different approach to the classic cheesesteak. The establishment prides itself on using thinly sliced rib-eye steak rather than chopped meat. The Pat's vs. Geno's debate is a Philadelphia tradition, with locals and tourists often trying both to determine their preference in this iconic food battle.
