The most hilarious cheesesteak place ever...deep in the heart of South Philly and across the street from Pat's, an equally famous place.Walking along Geno's, the first thing you notice is entire walls covered with police badges from every town, city, and cornfield in the country. Smack in the middle is a picture of some police lieutenant who was killed by Ali Mujahedeen or Muhammed Jafar or whoever in 1981...I really wonder which way the owners voted in the midterm elections. Geno's is famous for putting up a sign that stated: We do not serve customers who don't speak English...talk about neoconservative.
The cheesesteaks themselves are slightly dry, with no sauce. I can't say that I was too impressed. Try ordering in the Philly lingo. Default is wiz. There's wiz with/without, American with/without, and Provolone with/without. Glory to cheese wiz and onions...Then again, since Oprah, Nsync, Michelle Kwan, and various other celebrities have been to Geno's, maybe this dry rendition of sad cheesesteaks ought to be right.
