Good cheesesteak spot(which in my opinion was needed on this side of City Hall.) No lines and clean! I had a regular cheesesteak with wiz. It went down too easy, dangerously easy. This place holds it’s own when compared to all the other famous tourist joints. Easily accessible from the Fairmount Station of the Broad Street Line or there’s ample parking if one needed to drive. They have a covered outdoor-ish eating section so you can sit down and enjoy your newly crafted feast.

On my way to pick my child up from SaT Review, I realized I was at least an hour early. Since time management is my forte I head to a building with bright Vegas lights nearby. Not a casino but a cheesesteak place. Amid high competition in Philly with big names like… I won’t say it, I was really interesting and curious trying this place! The workers were friendly. No chairs in sight to sit. I was disappointed to See the steaks were frozen. Anyway I had my sandwich and it was good. Not the best, but better than the those«philly big names». The fries were YUM and I wish I ordered more. I would come back to This joint but seating would be better. I had to eat in the car!

I feel sorry for what happened with other negative reviews or maybe I always get lucky whenever I’m here? I love Jim G Steak, I have tried many cheesesteak places but only this one really got all of my heart. They always gave me a lot of meat, I love how they chop their meat and no piece of fat meat(I can’t eat the fat meat) I had beef cheesesteak and chicken cheesesteak, gotta try the lamp one day too. I like seeing when they cook thru the glass, service very fast, also their fries, they are just best out of best.

Not up to par. Chopped and dried with mediocre cheese. Nowhere near the level of Pats, Tony Luke’s, and many others(including some rad food truck steaks). Get a real cheesesteak.

When you go to Philadelphia you get a cheesesteak. On a recent trip, I opted to skip the popular Pat’s, Gino’s and Tony Luke’s cheesesteak institutions and try Jimmy G’s Steaks. One of the newest cheesesteak spots to hit the Philly scene, Jimmy G’s is only a few years old. It’s located in the Spring Garden area of Philly and has a sleek shiny steel interior and outdoor seating area. This place has also fully embraced social media, with TV screens and billboards showcasing recent Unilocal reviews and photos. After devouring a cheesesteak with Cheez Whiz and onions and some fries, I have to say Jimmy G’s can compete with the best of them. The bread was extremely fresh, the meat well-seasoned and nothing beats Cheez Whiz. Check them out next time you’re looking for something that’s a little less crowded than the usual spots.

I went here when it first opened. I was blown away by the quality of the cheesesteak. It was absolutely fantastic. I went back two more times, both great. Then suddenly I went again and the steak was completely different. Now it was chopped up, instead of whole. Not only did it look different, but it tasted like ****! I gave them the benefit of the doubt, maybe a bad day?. But I went back again and the same thing. I asked what was different? They said«we changed the meat»…Nuff said! No more visits for me. However, to be fair, they have great fries!

Stopped by tonight on the way home from work. Let me start off by saying that the food was good, not great but good. I ordered a cheesesteak and pizza fries. The steak was ok, it was a bit tough. I wish they wouldn’t have chopped, my steak was very watery. I see they you’d Licious rolls which a great! Unfortunately my roll was very very soggy. The pizza fries were good. The fries themselves were very tasty. Probably the best fries I’ve had in a while. But the pizza fries lacked cheese. I was a buy disappointed in the amount of cheese. Overall the place was decent, can’t really beat 13.00 for a meal. I may give this place a try again if I’m in the area

Bad management: The owner is no good. There is a restroom right by the front door that is only for employees. He could easily have a key for paying customers to use. We traveled out of our way to visit this place and our kids had to pee when we arrived. After paying $ 35 for food, we were declined the privilege of using the bathroom. There is no where nearby to go so it was hard to enjoy our food. We had to take a few bites and rush out. The staff was very nice and they did well with preparing our food. Despite that, the owner or manager felt the need to correct an employee disrespectfully in front of customers.

Hell. Yes! I’d give this place more stars if I could! It’s what I think all Philly Cheesesteaks aspire to be. Lots of well-seasoned beef(or chicken or lamb or more!) and great bread with amazing grilled onions and mushies. Super filing at a ridiculously reasonable price! Get the cheese fries too. They’re worth it even after walking ten blocks back to the hotel before first bite. I’ll be back before departing from this trip! Oh yeah, the staff were friendly and kicked ass as well. Don’t think it goes unnoticed! Thanks guys!

Best place to go for cheesesteaks around fairmount area after late night drinks. Cheesesteak with cheese wiz and onions was delicious. They were generous with the meat they offered. They had other options besides cheesesteak such as chicken, pork and vegetarian. The fries were thick, soft on the inside, but had a nice crisp on the outside. They were seasoned to perfection. Pretty quick service. Place opens until 4am.

I came here yesterday for a cheesesteak craving I was having. The spot was pretty easy to find, and the huge BESTFRIESINPHILLY sign out front helped. I have to disagree with the best fries concept. We got cheesefries and all the cheese went to the bottom of the cup leaving the fries soggy which I wasn’t a fan of. And they were pretty thick cut so the sogginess happened pretty fast. The cheesesteak was okay. I like that it was chopped steak, I love that but there wasn’t enough cheese for the cheese to meat ratio. Also the bread was super greasy on the outside. I personally am not a fan of that. I want my bread to be fresh not freshly greased. Also, I asked for some hot sauce and it was 50 cents… I’ll be sure to bring my own hot sauce if I ever come back

2nd trip to philly… First time I tried Max’s. This time my friends and I agreed to try this place out after surfing thru Unilocal … I got the cheesesteak with whiz cheese and it was really good. The bread was fresh and soft and the steak was unchopped and served quickly. Not too pricey and the FRIESAREAMAZING. I’d recommend

I tried my very first Philly Cheesesteak in Philly here. Of course I’ve had this amazing sandwich other places, but never in Philly. I was quite happy with my order. It was quite sloppy like I wanted it to be and it offered a great meal two meals after the fact. I couldn’t finish the sandwich because it is literally huge. My friend and her husband split one alone and they were both full after the fact as you can imagine. We both got the stand cheesesteak with the cheese wiz that it is apparently know for. It was delicious and probably 25,000 calories, but I did NOT shed a single guilt about eating that sandwich. It was sexy! My friends did split some fries. I felt the fries were standard and nothing special, but that sandwich though!!! PS Patio is worth sitting out pending the weather is good. It’s cute and plenty of seating.

My friends and I were in Philly for the Made In America festival and after two days of solid drinking, it was determined that feasting on some Philly cheese steaks was a must. We are old and cannot party like we used to, so we had the food delivered. They originally said it’d be about 25 minutes but the food arrived almost an hour later. If you want to see a sad sight, deliver food 35 mins late too a bunch of hungover and cranky women. The food was okay. They have quite a variety of cheesesteaks and different meat options such as pork, chicken and beef. I tried the chicken Italiano, which was good. Their portions are huge and menu items are very reasonably priced. The fries had the right flavor but arrived pretty soggy. The delivery guy was pretty nice though and once we were fed, we were less grumpy.

Good cheese steaks, fast. I’ve never had a cheese steak from Jimmy G’s I didn’t like. Their new lamb steaks are no exception. Make it a combo with a drink and some old bay cheese fries for just a few bucks more. I’ll be back again and again.

Grabbed some cheesesteaks last night after a concert and was very satisfied with our experience at jimmy g. I ordered the chicken cheesesteak and thought it was great! Friend ordered the regular cheesesteak with wiz and also enjoyed his meal. Also ordered the old bay fries which were great. I’m sure we will go back for more late night meals. Eat it!

I was back again today and had the roast pork sandwich. It was the best I have ever had. I highly recommend it. I had the fries again too. Just love the food here.

Freaking amazing is all I have to say about this place. Late night food massive variety and the food was excellent. First and foremost they over cheese steaks chicken cheese steaks and lamb cheese steaks. Like WTF who offers lamb steaks these guys do that’s who. So you have to come check them out. I have been to a lot of cheese steak places because well I like them. So I can tell you if a place is really good or bad and this place is really really good. The steak they use is a little bit thicker then normal cheese steaks I suspect because it tastes like it is much higher quality then most other places. Even the cheese was really good gooey and stringy provolone a.k.a. the best way to have cheese. They have a nice little outdoor seating area for you to enjoy your meal and really good staff so check them out you will be glad you did.

I was glad to return to Jimmy G. s for a nice fat & juicy cheese steak last weekend. I was really looking forward to this because they are the only restaurant that posted my Unilocal review big & bold across the wall. Sadly however Jimmy G’ is not the same. My review is still there, as bold as ever, except now my review is wrong! The only serve chopped up meat on their cheese steaks. I prefer my cheese steak layered with slices of beef, not chopped up like baby food. And the roll is different and the feel & weight of their cheese steak feels smaller. What a big disappoint!

The actual cheesesteak was four star worthy, bread was perfect. However, the steak was a little greasy and my sub needed more cheese and onions. Minus a star for the slightly unfriendly and slow service and the lack of bathrooms for customers. Price is also slightly above average. The place was also deserted on a Sunday afternoon around 3. If you’re not familiar with the area the neighborhood is a little rough and I would probably not recommend making a special trip here.
