Why you should go…
Jim's South St. has been slicing ribeye onto fresh rolls on Philadelphia's South Street for decades, becoming one of the city's most argued-over cheesesteak stops. The counter-service shop keeps it simple: cheesesteaks, hoagies, and fries, eaten standing at the window counter or on the go. It's a fixture of the South Street strip alongside record shops and tattoo parlors.
