Philly native here, if they call it a “Philly cheese steak” usually it’s not a good time. if someone compares them to Genos/pats, That’s also a red flag (only tourist go there). The biggest problem with CTs cheesesteaks and hoagies are the rolls.

That being said I have nothing helpful to add lol, I get my fix when I visit home. If anyone from Philly knows a good place I’d love to try!
