Restaurant in Pennsylvania, United States
About
Geno's Steaks is a Philadelphia restaurant specializing in cheesesteaks, founded in 1966 by Joey Vento. Geno's is located in South Philadelphia at the intersection of 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue, directly across the street from rival Pat's King of Steaks, which is generally credited with having invented the cheesesteak in 1933. The cheesesteak has since become a signature dish for Philadelphia.
The restaurant is known for its distinctive appearance, featuring hundreds of bright neon lights and signs that illuminate the corner of 9th and Passyunk. The establishment operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and serves an estimated 30,000 sandwiches per month.
