Steve's Prince of Steaks in Northeast Philadelphia makes an awesome steak.
http://www.stevesprinceofsteaks.com/
Also, you can't go wrong with Jim's Steaks.
There are other spots, but these are my two favorite spots.
Oh yeah, when you order your steak tell the people you want:
"salt, pepper, ketchup, and mayo"

If anyone is in Atlanta, there's a place down here called Gutbuster's(in the West End) that makes a philly cheesesteak that tastes like the ones in Philly.

Contrary to popular belief, the best sandwiches in Philly are actually NOT located downtown.

Try Mama's on Belmont Ave. between City Line Ave. and Main St.
Also love Jim's and Dalessandro's.

It depends on what part of Philly you are staying. If you are staying in south Philly, no reason to drive all the way up to the NE for Steve's.
Get Tony Luke's. They make a great steak. Right there in south.
Plus Tony Lukes has a TON of other stuff too. Chicken parms, burgers, etc.

I can't believe that I haven't been to Steve's yet, and I live in the northeast. Gotta put that on my to-do list...

Jim's steaks are too dry.

Jim's on South is such a tourist trap. Never ever go there under any circumstances.
Pat's and Geno's are great, even if they are full of tourists, there's a reason. I lived in that neighborhood for years, and we'd certainly never go when there wa sa game or concert or something with out of towners, but no sense hating on it just because of that.
Tony Lukes are very good....and Tony Jr.'s in CC are pretty much the same as the original.
Steve's is great....well worth any hype people say about it.
Chink's is good despite the offesive name.
Most underrated steak is Abner's out by UPenn....in my humble opinion.
