The Original Philly's

This counter on the border of Mt. Baker and Beacon Hill has been providing Seattle with excellent cheesesteaks since 1995. And while you can certainly order a classic with thinly sliced beef on a blanket of white american, order the deluxe sandwich. It still has all of the seasoning salt-dusted beef and melty cheese with mushrooms, hot peppers, and onions, but they also add in tomatoes and lettuce for brightness and crunch. Come here when a foil-wrapped sandwich the size of a newborn baby sounds like a satisfying lunch, but don't come if you're in any kind of hurry. (Great things take some extra time.)
