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.

Jim's usually makes a great cheesesteak. This airport location, however, really under-seasons the meat, so it was surprisingly bland. It's a shame, because the steak was good quality, as was the provolone cheese and the roll. The onions didn't even do anything to punch up the flavor. And, like most airport restaurants, you definitely pay for the location.

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?

$22.98 For a cheesesteak with peppers and onions would be okay if it tasted good. I don't even know how to describe the taste beyond it being bland. It was dripping excessive amounts of greese but tasted like i was eating a sponge soaked in water. Very disappointing

AT THE AIRPORT LOCATION: I’m beyond disappointed with the three sandwiches we picked up today. The flavor was absolutely disgusting—worse than the frozen Steak-umms I choked down in grade school. Every bite was soaked in grease; not a single napkin or bag was offered to contain it. The mess leaked all over my girlfriend’s purse—ruining the lining and everything inside. Worst of all: NOT ONE SANDWICH HAD CHEESE, despite being ordered (and paid for) with cheese. This wasn’t just a bad meal; it was a complete failure. I’ve had Jim’s South Street Cheese Steak multiple times in Philly. The airport location is entirely a bad representation of their product!

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.
