"The cheesesteaks served at Jim’s Steaks were fairly decent for decades. But since new owner Cortez Johnson took the helm in 2023, a cheesesteak at the renamed Jim’s West is an upgrade beyond measure. Located in the heart of West Philly, these well-portioned cheesesteaks are made with the juiciest chopped rib-eye and reliable supply of Cooper Sharp cheese. Beyond the previous controversy surrounding its revival and trademark debacle, Jim’s West is a spot that both locals and tourists should revisit immediately." - Emma Orlow
