Jim's South Street Famous Cheesesteaks

From the prices posted on the board, expensive, I figured the cheesesteaks were good! Nope... stay clear, and let me tell you why. The person in charge talks so fast and is so rude. He was the one taking my order, and overcharged me for extra mushrooms when I ordered the mushrooms cheesesteak. I did not order extra mushrooms, and neither there were any extra. The price for a mushrooms cheesesteak is $16.05, instead, he charged $16.65 plus the extra charge for mushrooms. When I saw the receipt and wanted to ask for a refund, he disappeared in the back, and the cook didn't speak English. Let's talk about the sandwich. It had no flavor whatsoever. Even the onions had no onion flavor. All you tasted was grease that made me so nauseous I felt like throwing up for hours after eating that sandwich. The cheese was just an afterthought. Just a little bit, at the bottom of all that greasiness. After all is said and done, we wasted over $40 for 2 nasty sandwiches and 1 soda.

It exists in the airport, so that's a win. Pretty legit, but not the best. I was happy to have it. The folks who served it were kind. Perfect fresh second breakfast , and cold elevensies on the plane. You might even get lucky and find a weary traveller nursing a food coma between meat sweats in front of the window. I would go again

I recently had the pleasure of trying Jim’s South Street famous cheesesteaks at the Philadelphia International Airport, and it was an excellent experience. The steak and peppers sandwich was a standout. The steak was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, paired with fresh, flavorful peppers that added a delightful crunch. The sandwich was served on a soft, yet sturdy roll that held everything together nicely without getting soggy. The combination of quality ingredients and expert preparation made this a memorable meal. For anyone passing through the airport and looking for an authentic taste of Philadelphia, Jim’s South Street is a must-visit.

For airport food. This is good. Wish I was more cheesy, but it well.

My mistake, I ALWAYS check the Google rating before I try something new and for whatever reason I didn't this time. I should have. I hope the Famous Cheesesteak is better in other place in Philly because this one can't possibly represent an iconic food named for its great city. It didn't taste bad..... but it also didn't taste exceptional in any way, it was bland and flavorless. I had the Cheesesteak with onions, peppers, mushrooms and provolone. How is it possible to combine all those flavors and still come up with a completely tasteless meal?

It's a good cheesesteak with quality meat but a bit underseasoned. They do chop up the meat really fine and use good bread. Would not make a special trip here but good if you're in the area.

I'm from NY and the Philly cheese steak was awesome. It was Hugh and enough for two. It's made fresh in front of you and every bite says more and yummy. I enjoyed it and will always stop in when I return to Philly. Awesome place to eat!!!

I have a 4 hour layover at the PHL airport. Since I'm in Philadelphia, I should try the famous Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, right?! I looked at the airport map and found Jim's South Street in Terminal C. I ordered the cheese steak sandwich, the server asked if I wanted peppers and mushrooms? I was under the impression it was included but it turned out it is $1.69 for each additional topping. The whole sandwich costs $17.25 after taxes. The sandwich was made fresh to order and you can see the server cooked in front of you. The sandwich was hot and fresh when it was handed to me. I took the first bite and noticed there was no taste to the beef, but I could taste the sweetness of the peppers. I ate the whole sandwich but was very underwhelmed and didn't feel it was worth $17.25.
