Famous Philly Cheese Steak Restaurants

Traditional Philly cheese steaks consist of thin pieces of grilled rib-eye steak topped with cheese on a hoagie bun. The city of Philadelphia is renowned for restaurant rivalries over the "best" Philly cheese steak sandwich, with each spot offering a variation of the sandwich and customers calling "wit" or "wit-out" when ordering in reference to with or without fried onions.
