I haven't had their regular steaks but if you're looking for a good chicken cheesesteak this is the place to go. The sign there says they marinate the chicken which is what makes it so good. Whatever they do, it is a noticeable difference from the rest of the chicken steaks in this city. As a Philly native I would never usually go for a Chicken steak over a real Cheesesteak but Jake's has sold me on the idea of the chicken cheesesteak. The meat is flavorful, tender and juicy and they let you choose what kind of roll you want it on. The only drawback would be that it's priced 1 or 2 dollars over some of the other cheesteaks in Philly but the prices at Jake's are on par with the rest of the prices in center city Philly eateries. I'm sure its location in rent-heavy liberty place doesn't help the price either. Anyone who works downtown will tell you, to expect to spend at leat $8 on lunch no matter where you go.
Go get a chicken cheestesteak today for lunch. You wont regret it.
Pros: Best Chicken Cheesteaks in Philly
Cons: A bit pricey but normal for center city lunch prices
