I'm not a local, so I won't pretend to claim that I know everything about a cheesesteak sandwich (though I have enjoyed them from BillyBob's to Pat's....), but I can say that Jake's knows what it is doing. True, the ambience in a food court isn't perfect, but the food is fresh, the service friendly, the sandwiches a great blend of standards and some novel treats, and the pricing very reasonable.
Very much worth a try if you haven't already.
Pros: Excellent sandwiches - standards and some intriguing treats
Cons: Food court is convenient, but tough to provide real "ambience"
