Allegedly the inventor of the (Philly) cheesesteak, Pat's King of Steaks is as much a tourist attraction as a pig out spot (as is mortal competitor Geno's across the street). At one counter they sell the steak sandwiches, at the other the fries and drinks.
I went for a plain steak sandwich with fresh onion and added (at the condiment counter) some really hot peppers and some really hot sauce ($7). The sandwich was very fresh: great bread and tender steak. The taste was good, but not remarkable. The side of fries ($3) was unremarkable.
VERDICT: 75/100
Leaving aside the history and linked touristic value, Pat's is fairly expensive yet average quality cheesesteak place.

Great blog! I've never understood the appeal of Pat's either, filling yet unremarkable food, although probably a "must" for the experience and history.
