We are flying in Saturday and will be looking for a CheeseSteak that evening. Anything worth it in Reading Terminal Market or City Center? We are staying at the Phili Marriott Downtown.
We will hit up Pat's, Jim's and Geno's later in the week.
Thanks

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but Reading seemed like more of a lunch place, a lot slower for dinner in terms of options.

There are tons of good food options in center city.
its been quite some time cine ive been there but some off top my head
Parc
Village Whiskey, great burger and drinks
The Dandelion, my wife's favorite restaurant at one time
Butcher and Singer is a old school steak house

Reading has some decent cheesesteaks, and get you a soft pretzel while you are there. Try Hershel's East Side Deli. My favorite is their Reuben.
Though not in Center City, take an Uber and go 10 minutes to Angelo's Pizzeria on 9th street. The wait will be long but worth it. Get a cheesesteak with cooper sharp and some fried onions. Pats and Geno's aren't bad, but it's like going to Mother's in New Orleans.
Be greedy and get you an Italian hoagie and a tomato pie while you're there.
Also, around Love Park is Siddiq's water ice. they should have mobile carts around there.

Give us a trip report when you’re done. I’m making my maiden voyage there this summer.

I’d skip Pats/Genos. They’re like the Varsity in ATL. John’s Roast Pork or Angelo’s Pizzeria have the best.

Was not a fan of this at all. To each I guess.
As for steak sandwiches, a local put me on to Jake's, it was great. It was also cash only, 20 years ago at least.

I was never fan of DiNics either. The sharp cheese plus extremely bitter broccoli rabe just didn’t mesh with me.

Parc is a nice lunch. There is a Thai place in Reading that’s solid. I think DiNic’s is overrated but good.

No my experience. I thought it was terrible and gave half to a homeless woman sleeping on the street and she got mad at me.
Do Pat's and Geno's. Just one of y'all go to Pat's and the other go to Geno's and split them. Two birds one stone.
Ishkabilles across from Jim's on South Street is good.
