I've been to South St many many times and this is where we ALWAYS ate. My visits were long ago, so take it with a grain of salt. However, I still hear they're great. My advice is skip the wiz and go with regular or Cooper American and friend onion. Ketchup or Mayo if you prefer, but never sauce. And peppers on a cheesesteak is unheard of in Philly, I don't know why that's a thing outside of the area, so don't even think about it.

Looks like this place is temporarily closed (due to fire according to their website) as of 1/23/2004. But I need to create a 'note' to myself and my colleagues in case I need to return for Philly cheesesteak.I am sure there are better ones out there, but out of several cheese steak shops I tried (on recommendations), this place stands out.Jim's South is location is not ideal (gets scary at times a tourist) but I can overlook it make the effort to revisit here if I am nearby.

Jim's is hands down a must if you're in Philly, top notch sandwich. Been there several times and I've never had a problem or had to wait too long even with a long line.However, guy on the grill was either having a bad day or is just an everyday complete A/H. Was rude to customers in line and to the other employees. Not going to stop me from going there but someone's going to smack that dude one day.Sandwich - 5 stars, that guy - 0

Best classic cheesesteak in Philly hands down - great spot to sit and eat too. Check out the stacks of Amoroso’s boxes - you know Jim’s is legit.
