What People Are Saying About Jim's Steaks

In Short
This Philadelphia institution is considered a front-runner in the great cheesesteak debate. That's why customers line up on its noxiously sanitized sidewalks at all hours. The steaks ooze grease, which seeps into the roll and makes the entire sandwich a mind-blowing experience. Make sure to get fried onions on top, and don't try to sound well-heeled by ordering some kind of facy cheese like provolone. Jim's famous cheez wiz will do perfectly fine.

I was visiting from LA and hadn't been in Philly for awhile and much to my surprise I've ordered cheesesteaks in California that were 10 times better than this. The workers were all rude, didn't put enough cheese whiz on my steak and charged me out the ***. If you're visiting Philly, do Pat's or Geno's, but stay away from this dump.

This was the best. I had a cheesesteak at jim's and I craved more. Then I visited pats, Pats had bad food and the didn't care at all about you. If your in phillie and you want a cheesesteak visit jim's and not pat's

The service at this dump is downright rude and indifferent. The lazy employees have an attitude problem and don't care about friendly service with a smile. Save your money and go somewhere else that appreciates your business.

The Details on Jim's Steaks

Know Before You Go:

The servers at Jim's have something of a reputation for rushing customers and barking at them when they don't fork over their cash fast enough. Out-of-towners will find themselves stunned by the rude treatment.
