Jim’s Steaks

South Street is one of Philadelphia’s most well known melting pots.

Here, visitors and residents, teenagers and adults, preppies and punk rockers, artists and attorneys, all mix happily.

The street is always buzzing, no matter if you visit on a Tuesday afternoon or a Friday night.

This diversity makes for an excellent customer base for Jim’s Steaks, South Street’s premier cheesesteak shop.

The crowds can often mean an extra long wait before actually getting to taste one of Jim’s fine cheesesteak sandwiches, as the line at Jim’s often stretches out the front door and around the corner onto Fourth Street.

However, the unbelievable smell of the grill-cooked beef and sizzling onions prove that the steaks are worth waiting for.
