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!!!

This is the best cheesesteak experience I've had in Philly. Yes, there's a line; this isn't something I would do all of the time, but it's worth planning around it for the experience. Considering the size of the line, it goes by relatively quick.

Ran to the nearest store to grab a soda, the guy in front ordered a Cheesesteak. When I seen his I had to have one and boy was it worth it!

For airport food it is a good steak roll,the steak was tender as tasty but a little shy on cheese. Seating is a shared spot with a other restaurant.

I just experienced the most fresh, juicy cheesesteak/pizza version in my 60 years. The team were smiling as the fixed the food in front of me. Cleanliness top rated!

I'll preface this saying I'm generally a Jim's fan.
Starting with the nearly 25 dollars for a cheesesteak and a drink. I paid extra for more cheese, only to watch them use the same standard 3 slices of cheese for the 4 concurrent orders they were running (I got mine last, despite ordering first ahead of the other 3). When I tried to politely point it out the mistake, they stared at me with a straight face and told me they did add the extra.
Wasn't worth the fight. Steak is fine, service and price combination makes this an automatic no for me moving forward.

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.

The cheesesteak was very greasy and difficult to eat. Flavor was ok.

Grew up in Philly near Delesandro’s. This steak doesn’t compare. No awards here.
If that was a real Philly chase steak; Philly doesn't need to brag. Chicago beef is 100% better.
High expectations but such a disappointment. Very dry meat, bland flavors and way over priced . Had to beg for ketchup. Have not tried Geno's in other terminal but walk a little and try better food elsewhere.
