So sad to hear about the fire. Very thankful to have been able to visit in its original state. I can’t imagine the devastation of losing all the memorabilia that was on the walls. When you reopen, this little Californian will make the trip back to support you!

2nd stop on the Philly Cheesesteak Tour in Philadelphia. I enjoyed this thoroughly! I asked the guy to prepare it just l Iike it’s suppose to be in Philly! It was so good! I loves the energy and smell of good food! Great atmosphere while there and nice layout! Will Vista again when I return to hit up more Cheesesteak joints there.

We were told this is the place to go to get a real Philly cheese steak, and we weren’t disappointed! Their sandwiches are delicious, and they have other options if you’re not really into cheese steaks. The prices were reasonable and they make the food right in front of you.

Delicious cheese steak! Somebody told us this was the only cheese stake that worths and it definitely does. The place gets packed at lunch time so if possible, get there early. There’s a few tables outside but if you take a 5 min walk, you can eat it in a park nearby. Would recommend it for sure! Traditional cheese stake with wiz costs 10.99 and it can be shared if you’re not too hungry!

Jim’s had always been among my very favorite cheesesteaks. I’ve eaten at both locations and I love them both. However since the South Street location in temporarily unusable perhaps you’d like to try their West Philadelphia spot.

Jim’s is top 3 in my humble opinion. I finally got a chance to visit this south st location. Was thoroughly impressed with everything. The pictures and autographs on the wall were a nice touch. The steak is very good and cooked to perfection.

Jim’s is amazing. The staff is super friendly. The cheesesteaks are absolutely awesome. The line was about 10 people out the door when we got there, but the guys cooking really keep it moving. They make sure the sitting area is kept clean and they probably have the cleanest bathrooms in Philly. I can’t wait to go back.

When a place is widely regarded as the best cheesesteak in Philadelphia, it’s easy to get complacent and start to slack on the quality. Not this place. It doesn’t matter what time of day what day of the week or what month of the year, this place gives the absolute best cheesesteak. The rolls are loaded with meat the onions are grilled to perfection.

Good diner vibes at Jim’s. We stopped by here for Philly cheesesteaks. They also have veggie options like an all-vegetable sandwich on a hoagie and egg+cheese sandwiches. I thought the service was not very friendly but the bread was surprisingly good (bread really completes a sandwich, not just the fillings).
