Nothing says Philly like cheesesteak sandwiches

Whenever Philadelphia is brought up, three things come to mind – Philadelphia brand cream cheese, Will Smith and the legendary Philly Cheesesteak - a long, crusty roll filled with thinly sliced sautéed ribeye beef and melted cheese.

Our bus rental PA customers agree that the best cheesesteaks offer a balance of flavors, textures and what is often referred to as the “drip” factor. Toppings include fried onions, sautéed mushrooms, ketchup and hot or sweet peppers. Believe it or not, consumption of this sandwich has its etiquette and you can experience it all with or without our bus rental PA services, honestly speaking.

The origin of the cheesesteak can be traced to South Philadelphia hot dog vendor Pat Olivieri who put some beef from a butcher on his grill. A bus rental PA bus driver smelled the alluring aroma and asked for his own steak sandwich.

As rumor has it, word soon got round about the charter bus driver's delicious lunch had spread, and cabbies around the city came to Olivieri demanding steak sandwiches. Soon after, Olivieri opened up Pat’s King of Steaks, on 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue, to sell his new creation, adding cheese to the recipe.

When ordering, you must answer two critical questions - what kind of cheese do you want? (Whiz? Provolone? American?) and, do you want onions?

So when asked (“Whiz wit?”), The correct answer is is “Wit” for “Yes, I would like Whiz and onions,” or “Widout” for “No, just the cheese.” For any other toppings, just ask normally.

Remember, if you don’t know what you want or have your money ready to go, be prepared to be sent to the back of the queue. This is the kind of fun and unique experience that you will never get to have in any other cities in the country, we reckon and you should experience it all with Bus Rental PA.

So, if you step off your charter bus, party bus, coach bus, sleeper coaches, passenger bus, mini bus or school bus from Bus Rental PA in Philadelphia, and crave a taste of a real local favorite, you’ll want to look for one of these places. Our charter bus drivers who know all the popular routes in PA like the back of their hands should have no problem bringing you to all of the local favorites.

Pat’s King Of Steaks grills sizzle away 24-hours a day located at the same location it’s always been (it’s only location) at 9th Street & Passyunk Avenue. Geno’s Steaks, located across the street from Pat’s, also lays claim to the origin of the Cheesteak with Geno’s founder, Joe Vento, claiming it was he, not Olivieri, who first added cheese to the cheesesteak. Just ask the charter bus driver who is servicing you if he knows where that is.

For the past 40 years, the two shops have waged a friendly competition to win the title of best cheesesteak in town, with Geno’s Steaks competing against Pat’s King Of Steaks, 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1219 S. 9th Street.
