NOTE: ALWAYS GET WHIZ.

And I'm not a fan of the Wiz! I'd rather have American.
Amato's is good, but not using Amaroso rolls kills that place. A soft roll makes all the difference when it comes to cheesesteaks.
And yea Ray, last time I was down there, no Yuengling.

you guys that say amatos is good are crazy. The quality is crap. They charge out the *** and only give you veggies unless you order only meet and cheese. About the only thing good there is the bread and onion rings.
Pay a visit to the LIC boys in Novato and ask them about Italian Delite. That place has the best phillys out of any place i've had them.

Lots of killer hot sauces there.
not a traditional philly in my opinion though...but still tastey.

I think it's pretty good as long as you don't just order the boring cheesesteak, you have to get the deluxe which comes with everything. But, it just shows how much I'm missing out with the good cheesesteaks
There's supposed to be a cheese steak shop being built in San Ramon. Anyone know if that chain is good?

The place is called Philly's Best. Met the owner when he first opened the FV store. He brings in the rolls, Franks sodas, Wise potato chips and makes them the same way they do in Philly.
And Geno's is where the tourists go, same with Pat's. Any small pizza or sandwich place will make you a great cheesesteak.
To the OP you should try a Hoagie. Or even a cheesesteak hoagie. Mmmmmm........
Incase you people didn't figure it out I'm from Philly. Born and raised 13 years.
