Like some have said. Insanely overpriced.
Crab fries are basically fries with old bay. Nothing terribly special but they are good

I ended up skipping them for a cheesesteak because it was more filling. I ended up with a coat sleeve full of chopped onion that I kept shaking out all game. I love onion but man that was like five pounds of it, pouring everywhere with each bite!
If you skip the cheese sauce you are getting robbed of the experience

He's right though? They're fine. Just fine. No more, no less.
Would kill for some fresh-cut boardwalk fries dressed in apple cider vinegar instead.

I feel like John’s has a great cheesesteak but is a little overrated...not a fan of the string onions and had too much black pepper a few times I had it.
For me Steve’s is the best when it’s on point. Joe’s would be a tie or close second and is more consistent than Steve’s. Then Cafe Carmella is a recent cheesesteak I tried that rounds out my top 3 (sarcones roll, cooper sharp, quality meat). John’s would be a close #4 and I need to try Angelos.
It’s splitting hairs when you get into the top cheesesteaks but that’s my current feelings on the best cheesesteaks in Philly.

When I lived in DC a friend of mine used to rave about Steve's but I never tried it. Last time I was in Philly a couple years ago I finally tried it (the one somewhere in NE Philly) and it was excellent. As good as any cheesesteak I ever tried. I got a hoagie to take home with me and that was excellent too.

Last I checked, the economy lot was closed due to COVID reducing the amount of customers. So I’d suggest taking a cab/Uber instead of parking at the airport.

That's if you are getting fish and chips. If you're on the boardwalk in Rehobeth, it's ACV for the win.

Hey guys. I know this is probably asked of you all 20 times a week. Going to Philly for work, and is there any consensus on which of Pats and Genos is better? Figure I ask you
Philly locals. I understand they are both known to be tourist traps - but I’d still like to try one just to get that experience.

Why? I lived in the area for like 20 years and never cared to try either.
So many good sandwich shops around. Save some money and treat yourself to better food
