   IN LINE TO GET SOME CHEESESTEAKS! Another famous Philly Cheesesteak spot in Philly is Jim’s Steaks. Open since 1939, this Philly chesesteak landmark is just as popular as Pat’s & Geno’s among Philly locals and tourists. My friends and I loved the cheesesteaks here. This was everyone’s favorite cheesesteak spot, but I think Jim’s and Pat’s were a close tie for me. We went on a Sunday afternoon, and there was a huge line around the corner.
