I do not recommend going to Jim's even if you are on South Street simply because of the price and the stench. Some fortunate true Philadelphians like myself know of the real places to get the best Philly cheesesteak. The best cheesesteaks in Philly can be found at Dalessandro's and Frusco's. Dalessandro's This wonderful little building at Henry Ave and Wendover in Roxborough may not look like much from the outside but produces the best steaks in Philly. The inside of the building is fairly small containing a few scattered tables and counters on which to devour your sandwich should you choose to do so before making the journey home.
Many customers take their steaks to go.
The sandwich is encased in quality Italian bread, the best for a cheesesteak. With lean juicy steak, you don't run into any stringiness like at some other places. Dalessandro's is not afraid to give you a good size sandwich that won't leave you hungry . The variety they offer is incredible. Do yourself a favor and sample one of these amazing sandwiches.
