The food is tasteless and the employees are rude I paid $25.50 for the worst sandwich Ive ever had in my life and a drink. I would give 0 stars if I could

I never thought I’d have to say this about a Philly, but it wasn’t salty enough, and there wasn’t enough flavor in it. Quick service. Nice guys. Good presentation. Just not very flavorful.

Steak hoagie had no flavor and seasoning, drenched in grease and when I unwrapped the sandwich everything fell out covered in grease. Just not enjoyable go somewhere else

Cheese steak was unseasoned. Needed to add 6 salt packets and ketchup. Ordered extra meat. Looked like I got the same amount as the next guy. Barely any cheese either.

Service was 0/10. Guy took my money and walked away. Cook didn't put any care into it, no seasoning. Girl wrapping them let meat fall out and called out order numbers (I was not given a receipt or order number). I asked for ketchup and she grabbed some packets from below the counter and literally threw them on the counter, scattered in 5 directions for me to pick up.

Don't waste your time here, they won't miss you

I love jims in philly, but the workers here do not come close to mimicking the real thing. They are rude, can’t speak english and don’t make cheesesteaks even half the size of the proper city locations. Don’t judge one of these as a proper Jims sample.

This was in the airport. Great cheese steak! Fast service, very kind employees

The cashier is rude and he
doesn’t listen. I asked for extra steak and he didn’t get it. I asked for a non-alcoholic beer and gave a normal one. The sandwich was supposed to be cheesesteak but didn’t have any cheese. Last time I eat here.

eh, that was pretty disappointing. the crew were nice, serving was fast but food was barely salted. I’m not an over salt person, but that was pretty plain even for me, I can ima how bad was it for other people. I didn’t feel mushrooms, cheese and barely felt meat to be honest although there were a lot of meat. I felt only tons of bitter peppers. I saw several people complaining to crews that they need seasoning while I was eating so at this point I realized that I’m not crazy. I still ate it all because I’m not picky that’s why I put 3 stars. it also was very pricey but it is obvious because it is an airport.

I was excited to have a connecting flight through Philly so I can try their famous cheese steaks…. Sorry but if I’m judging it by this place, not impressed. I’ve had many better cheese steak sandwiches from so many others from Cali or florida, Jersey etc. was super greasy, barely any cheese and the peppers tasted sour. For the price, even at an airport, I was really expecting better. I’m willing to pay over $20 for a sandwich at an airport l, but it wasn’t the money it was the lack or service. Like a “hello” and “Thank you” would have been nice. Especially after showing a 15-22% tip options like I’m going to get some decent service. I hate writing bad reviews because I really don’t like hurting business or being negative, but I’m sorry, lately it feels like most of these food establishments act like they are owed something. I don’t know if the other places in this airport are better or worse but all I can say is that I was disappointed.

Excellent cheesesteak! You don't have to go to Philly to get a worthy sandwich! Their bun is unique, it has everything bagel seasoning on it. It paired really well! One sandwich feeds 2 people! They also have Boylan soda, so many flavors. We ordered using a computer. Thevfood was prepared in a timely manner. We will come again when we are in town. I hope it stays around. The atmosphere was clean and spacious.

Absolutely terrible cheesesteak. Do not waste your money here, even if you just need something to hold you over. Threw away my wife’s sandwich.

I ate at the airport location after many airport workers said that this was thee place to go. Let me tell ya,.. not so much! I ordered 2 Philly sandwiches, 2 orders of fries & a soda for my 2 friends & myself. $57.94!! I handed him $60. He put the money in a Styrofoam cup next to the register & gave me $2 back. Shorted the .06 cents. I believe that he is Stealing that money from the register! The food? After all that praise, 1 didn't have cheese. And both were super greasy! I have had better cheesesteaks at subway & Definitely at D'Angelos! The people behind the counter are shady & the food isn't worth it!
