Locals often engage in spirited debates over where to get a genuine Steak and have a not-so-secret rule on how cheesesteaks should be prepared. Jim’s Steaks, just a few blocks south of Independence Center, is a well-known and trusted steak shop. Established in 1939, it has die-hard fans who vouch that this is "The Place for bona fide steaks." Pat’s King of Steaks, which claims to be the original inventor of the Steaks, is another popular choice for the locals, though it’s a long walk from the downtown area.
