Philadelphia
A staple of Philadelphia’s Roxborough neighborhood, Dalessandro’s Steaks was founded in 1960 and quickly became a go-to spot for tasty cheesesteaks, hoagies and more. Finely diced meat and large pieces of onions are signature touches that make the steaks stand out.
It's a bit of a hike to get here, but serious cheesesteak aficionados should make the effort.
