They don’t take credit cards, and they don’t have a sign outside indicating that. If you’re not from the city then you’ll waste an hour in line and not be able to order because they don’t take cards.

Jim's South Street Famous Cheesesteaks offers a classic Philly cheesesteak experience, known for its great taste and quick service, even when the line is long. The restaurant uses good bread and chops the meat very fine, creating a soft, pillowy-like landing for each sandwich. The cheesesteak features Wiz cheese added onto the bread, steak, and onions, giving it a distinctive flavor. While the meat is of good quality, reviews mention it being a bit underseasoned. Customers have noted that the cheesesteak is fresh and juicy, with some portions being large enough to share. The restaurant is open early, making it a decent option when the main location is closed. It’s a popular spot for both visitors and locals, offering a satisfying cheesesteak whether arriving or departing from nearby airports or visiting the South Street area. Though not a place for a special trip, this spot leaves a good impression for those in the area or passing through, and many are eager to return for the experience. Cleanliness and friendly service have also been highlighted, making it a great place to eat.
