Geno’s Steaks

Geno's Steaks in Philadelphia specializes in cheesesteaks. Founded by Joey Vento in 1966, Geno's is located in South Philadelphia at the intersection of 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue and is directly across from its rival, Pat's King of Steaks (generally credited with having invented the steak sandwich in 1933). The cheesesteak has become Philly's signature dish for the city.
