Geno's Steaks Reviews
The food is is not good and somehow has become a tourist trap and gives cheesesteaks a bad name in Philly
We were so excited to try this place and so disappointed that we did. The sandwich had very little meat. It was basically all bread and the meat on the sandwich was flavorless. The fries were okay. I ended up ripping off half of the bread just to try to even out the bread to meat ratio. Probably the worst cheesesteak I've ever had. Unfortunately, we will not be back. Staff was great and very energetic. Arcade was fun.
I don’t know what was worst, the food or the service. Food was bland and the bread was tough. The canned mushrooms uncooked. With the attitude that the wench had you would have thought the food would be exceptional at least.

Geno's Steaks is a popular spot for cheesesteaks and cheese fries. The outdoor seating area offers a cozy atmosphere, perfect for family gatherings. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially towards children. Known for its quick service, Geno's is a favorite among tourists. The restaurant has a long history of serving cheesesteak hoagies with cheese wiz and onions. Some customers find the meat in the sandwiches to be tender and appreciate the crispy, cheesy cheese fries. However, others feel that the sandwiches can be soggy and lack flavor, with the meat tasting like cheap kebab beef. A few visitors mention that the sandwiches are overstuffed, making them dry, and recommend getting it with onions for better flavor. Despite limited parking and some mixed reviews, Geno's remains a recommended stop for a classic Philly experience, especially for those interested in the historic aspect of the city’s cheesesteak tradition.
