I am going to be in the Philly area for an overnight this coming weekend. What's the best cheesesteak in town?

I did Gino's and Pat's a few years ago but have read there are better. Suggestions?

Cheesesteak - Jim's on South St

Dinic's for their pork sandwich

Both of these are top notch.

Check out JL Jupiter's channel on youtube. He's a Philly native who has eaten at just about all of the cheeseteak spots in Philly and will let you know whats a tourist trap and whats not.

John's Roast Pork weirdly has the best. I would say Jim's South was #2.

My advice. Watch a few videos and see how they do it and use that as a basis. Mark Wiens just had a decent one. But there are tons of videos on it.

It's subjective and Gino's and Pat's is just touristy.
