Great place to grab a steak sandwich....when any of my friends are in from out of town this is where we go hands down. Sometimes you will be waiting in line, but that is to be expected....its worth the wait, trust me! This place lives up to the hype, check it out.

JUST ATE AT JIM'S

by kscotttie at Citysearch

I just got into Philly while on business, I stayed at the Omni, had a beer at the bar and asked the bartender how far Pat & Genos were from the hotel, with a look of disgust on his face, he said it was in south philly and was a decent drive. He then said that they were over hyped , over rated and I must go to Jim's, several patrons at the bar chimed in and said JIMS STEAKS! you have to try em

So I walked the 6 block in the snow and found Jims. The line was short but it was only about 6 on friday and it is lcated in a bar type neighborhood. I thought the guys behind the counter were friend and damn fast, I tipped a couple buck and the guy who took the money behind the counter genuinely appreciated it, i am guessing the constant flow of 20 somethings don't tip.

I had mine with whiz and onions and had a beer ($2.90 for a beer!)

the roll was hot and fresh, the steak was tender and moist , the onions and whiz set it off. it was delicious and certainly a great philly experience.

When I left I said , Thanks guys! they ALL yelled back Thanks!

Best Around

by SamSamSam at Citysearch

After reading the bad reviews on this site, I knew I had to say my piece.

These are the best cheesesteaks in Philly. They also have another location in Northeast Philly which is much bigger.

Anyway, they are simply amazing. Anyone who says differently doesn't know what a true cheesesteak should taste like (especially those out-of-towners)! Trust me, if you want a real cheesesteak and some delicious cheese fries to go with it, go to Jim's Steaks. You won't regret it!

• Pros: Fast service, best cheesesteaks.
• Cons: A bit expensive.

Good Steaks

by JDBKNY at Citysearch

Went to Jim's yesterday and it was goooood. Upstairs seating was a plus.

People complaining about rude employees are right but doesn't that go along with the whole experience? Fast greasy food with "throw it at ya" service.

I'm a New Yorker so I guess you could say I get the joke. Suburbanites and country folk, try not to take it personally. Laugh when a rude employee insults you, like I did and you'll have a good time and a good steak.

• Pros: Cheese steaks are awesome
• Cons: Employees are rude

This place was awful

by Lynn516 at Citysearch

When I visited Philadelphia today my friend said you must go to Jim's Steaks. I was amazed when I saw the long lines and smelled the aroma of the cooking. I have eaten cheesesteaks all my life so I feel I know a good one from a bad one. Jim's Steak unfortunately was a bad one. First it arrived with little meat.The cheesesteak was completely tasteless and so bland that I had to eat it together with potato chips just to get the taste of salt to possibly blend with this tasteless sandwich. In addition the staff were placing tomatoes in containers without any gloves.In fact I observed staff eating food with their fingers as they served customers. Not the most sanitary place.It is one thing if you come here just because you see the long lines but if you are a repeat customer and really feel this place is any good.....then you have to wonder are your taste buds awake or asleep.The whole experience has made me want to be a vegetarian.

• Pros: Absolutely None
• Cons: Taste, Price and the Long Lines

Umm??

by element13 at Citysearch

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.

• Pros: The upstairs was kind of cool
• Cons: Employees looked like they were all on work release

Amazing

Contributor at Citysearch

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

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Rude Service, Moody Employees

by niksiz at Citysearch

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.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Rude Service, Mediocre Cheesesteaks, Overpriced
