While Pennsylvania may be known for quite a few foods – from the controversial scrapple to the scrumptious whoopie pies – most of us would likely agree that the most recognizable food to come from PA is the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. While you can get a Philly cheesesteak all over the United States, chances are you won’t find one that compares to Dalessandro’s Steaks in Pennsylvania.

As the birthplace of the cheesesteak sandwich, Philadelphia has no shortage of popular spots to order one. Dalessandro’s, however, has often been credited with making some of the best in the city.

Grab a seat at the counter, or grab your cheesesteak to go. Just be prepared to wait in line. The tiny eatery is so popular that there’s usually a wait.
