Now before I tell you whose cheesesteak we preferred, I’d like to make a point that my tastes buds are not your taste buds or any other person’s taste buds for that matter. So if you disagree with my opinion, I totally understand. It’s easy see why making a decision between whose cheesesteak’s are the best is so hard because each restaurant brings a little something different to to the table. But anyways, here is what our final decision was (drum roll please): Charles and I liked the cheesesteak from GENO’s the most! Surprising right? And honestly, the reason we chose Geno’s over Pat’s came down to the bread, overall presentation of the cheesesteak and customer service…
Charles and I loooove bread. As such, the one thing we hate the most is soggy bread and Pat’s bread was not toasted/baked enough to withstand the wiz sauce. This really affected our experience because we were eating with our hands and the sauce was leaking through the sandwich onto everything.
In regards to the overall presentation, Geno’s cuts their cheesesteak in half while Pat’s gives you the cheesesteak whole. As a couple who likes to share food, I really liked the convenience of having a cheesesteak pre-cut because I knew Charles and I were sharing our sandwich equally. When we were at Pat’s, I had to sit there and watch Charles take his huge man bites (compared to my little woman bites) each time we passed the cheesesteak back and forth… And the phat person inside me was upset because he ended up eating most of the cheesesteak :(
And lastly, the customer service… Charles and I both agree that the overall service at Geno’s was better than Pat’s. The person who took our order at Pat’s literally dropped our cheesesteak down onto the counter by the register for us to take while the front person at Geno’s gave us our cheesesteak by hand. The front person at Pat’s was brusque and abrupt in manner while the front person at Geno’s actually smiled and said, “Hi” when we arrived to place our order. Customer service is important when dining out and it was those personable gestures that really set Geno’s apart from Pat’s for Charles and I. Who knows? Maybe the front man at Pat’s was having a bad day but that wasn’t our problem and I don’t like having my food plopped down in front of me… Ever. And that’s that. Geno’s for the win in our books.
