Might be good to make it a sticky so newbies who have designs on creating a cheesesteak thread will hopefully see it right up top and therefore won't create a new thread.

Default Cheesesteak and a Show at Tony Luke's

The last two times I had Tony Luke's, I was up half the night dealing with 'internal' issues ... Anyway, funniest thing I ever saw/heard at a food establishment was at the Front and Oregon Tony Luke's about fifteen years ago: The guy working the window was your typical (not that there's anything wrong with it) skinny, greasy, big-nosed, South Philly Italian neighborhood guy with the great accent and no inhibitions. Anyway, this shapely young woman places her order with him, and as she's walking away, he sticks his head out the window, looks right, looks left (the direction she was departing) and says loud and clearly enough for the next fifteen people in line to hear "Maaan, I'd hit dat right inee*ss!" And (for those of you that know what I mean) he had the knuckles going and all. Classic South Philly.

The one thing about cheese-steaks like most other foods, it's hard to pick the best. You can go to the same place more then once and not get the same thing. There is nothing rocket science about a cheesesteak, other then the guy or gal making them. I would say my biggest complaint when going to the same place, I may get more cheese on it today then I did last week.

That being said my favorite sandwich is a Reuben. Besides a Diner or Restaurant who has good one's for take out?

I know you asked about a Reuben, but on a related note, Al's Corner @Torresdale and Rhawn makes a mean grilled corned beef special. One of my favorite sandwiches in the city.


Regarding the 'best': There is no 'best,' it all depends on personal preference. It's not a sporting competition. lol
My best or favorite is whatever one I'm in the mood for at the time. Too many people waste too much time trying to convince others their stupid cheesesteak/hoagie/pizza/seafood/Italian/steak joint is better than everybody else's. I like most places ... OINK, OINK, OINK!

My buddy is visiting from England and I recommended that tomorrow he tries out a hoagie at Wawa's for the best Philly cheese-steak experience

Speaking of sandwiches, nothing comes close to a prime beef sandwich when it comes to subs/sandwiches. Now if only I could get a place that does prime rib sandwiches on a properly done baguette (the French make the tastiest bread. Period!).

Unfortunately, we can only have two stickies. This thread has been linked in both of them.

Thanks, I will check that out. When I am up that way I usually go to Shefs Pizza. They have pretty good Reubens. Not thrilled with Shefs cheese-steaks though.
