The Spataro does look good and better then the Tony Lukes, although I like the look of those onions.  I just like the beef chopped and not thin sliced!  Surprised at a 4 though, man, that is bad in my opinion!

It wasn't chopped like every other place I have been, it was very greasy, the onions were almost raw, and the beef had no flavor like others.  I was very disappointed.  I went to John's Pork first because they were ranked #1 on some lists, but they closed at 5 do to the pandemic so I settled for Tony's which was the next closest on my list.

I was amazed when we went to Philly in Winter of 2015 and both Geno's and Jim's had zero flavor!  The 1st cheese steak I had in Philly was at Jim's in 2002 and it was great.

I thought Pat's was way better than Geno's and that Tony Luke's was close to Geno's.  Jim's may have been the best I have had yet, but Ishkabibble's was pretty good too.

The Pizza Joint - Allentown, PA - good sandwich, small grilled onions, light on the red sauce, cheese melted with meat and topped with cheese sauce.  Was not a fan of the roll which was similar to a Primo Hoagie's roll.

Vince's Cheese Steak's - Allentown, PA - former brick and mortar locations now food trucks only.  They were parked at Taylor House Brewing last month.  Good sandwich but was not a fan of the American cheese used.

The one from Keystone Pub and the last one from Coraopolis look the best to me.

Oh, that looks so good.
Making me hungry, and won't be having pizza for about an hour and a half.

Yocco's hot dogs - cheesesteak (surprisingly no red sauce which is popular around here) and a chili cheese dog
Edible cheesesteak but no need for me to have to order another one there when so many other places are better.

I need a little more sauce in my chili dog...I guess I mean a little more runny!  I like the cheesesteaks that are chopped though!
