Sometimes we drive 15 miles, back roads, at 2am to get steaks & I recall they had the best corn on the cob (Jersey corn).man !!! IT WAS GREAT, if somebody here in Jax could only "match" the taste!!!

I recently conducted a "taste test" between Pat's and Geno's. Pat's is easily the winner. Pat's shreads its steak vs. Geno's steak slices. Pat's onions are more fully cooked and smaller pieces than Geno's....

Pat's Steaks has a wonderful atmosphere. The air is electric with all kinds of hungry people having fun at any time day or night. The service is far superior to Geno's. I asked Pat's to cut a cheesesteak into...

This is a great place if you like cheeze whiz and small portions of meat on your steaks. Used to be great years ago, now just living off its rep. Many small Ma and Pa steak places blow this away.

They're tasty, but a little too skimpy on the meat. You have to eat two or three, and at five bucks a pop, that's a bit pricy. Cetrainly NOT the best in Phila.

Pat's Steaks is Waaaaaay Overrated. The only reason people like Pat's is because it's open late when everyone is drunk and has beer munchies. At that point anything tastes good. Jim's Steaks is much better.
