I am visiting Philadelphia from Miami with high expectation on Philly Cheese steak. Pat’s place was busy as usual with tourists like myself (holding a camera) here is my take on the cheese steak:\r
1. Bread: was kind of hard not as fresh as it should have been.\r
2. Steak: they cook the steak halfway in advance and they pile them up so steam would finish the cooking. (if you like a tasteless steak mainly due to steam cooking, then this is the steak for you).\r
3. Mushroom: they take the mushroom right out of a jar at room temperature and added to your sandwich at your request. \r
4. Green Pepper: they take the green pepper right out of a jar at room temperature and added to your sandwich at your request. \r
5. Cheese: they take the cheesewhiz right out of a jar at room temperature and added to your sandwich at your request.\r
6. You order your cheese steak and pay for it and pick it up in less than 15 second, then you have to make another line in a different window to order your fries and drink, while your room temperature sandwich is getting colder while you are waiting for your fries and drink.\r
Pat’s motto is to serve as fast as they can…quantity vs quality I would not recommend to eat at the Pat’s, just go and take your photos if you must…\r
Pros: fast service
Cons: quality of food
