Where to Go to Get the Best Cheesesteaks in Philadelphia

For obvious reasons, you need to eat a cheesesteak when you visit Philadelphia. Every diner sells steak sandwiches, and every diner claims that theirs are the best, but where can you really find the best steak sandwhich?

The two biggest tourist traps for steak sandwiches are Pat's and Geno's (which are conveniently located right across the street from each other). While all the tourists go there, locals are near unanimous in agreeing that these places are not the best. Locals seems more willing to give the title of "best cheesesteak" to Jim's Steaks. Jim's is very good (we waited in line for 1 1/2 hours on Sunday afternoon to get the cheesesteaks pictured below). However, for our money, our favorite cheesesteak in Philadelphia was from Sonny's Steaks. It was very, very, very good. I think Wife almost cried as she ate it.
