Fodor's Review:

You'll know you're nearing Jim's when the scent of frying onions overwhelms your senses -- or when you see people lined up around the corner. Big, juicy, drippy sandwiches of Philly steaks -- shaved beef piled high on long crusty rolls -- come off the grill with amazing speed when the counter workers hit their stride; but be aware that no matter how hard you beg, they will not toast the rolls. Yell "wit' wiz" (meaning: "with Cheese Whiz, please") for major cred and extra authenticity. Jim's is mostly takeout, but there are some tables and chairs upstairs.
