Overview

A Philadelphia institution since 1939, Jim's Steaks has been serving classic cheesesteaks from its iconic South Street location since 1976. The distinctive art deco building with its neon signs has become a landmark on South Street, one of Philadelphia's most famous thoroughfares. Known for its thinly sliced ribeye steak cooked on a flat-top grill and served on Amoroso rolls, Jim's attracts both tourists and locals, often resulting in lines that wrap around the block. The restaurant's second-floor dining area offers a unique vantage point for people-watching on bustling South Street while enjoying one of Philadelphia's signature dishes.
