My husband and I just moved to Buffalo and we live right down the street from Jim's Stakeout.... the food is amazing, fast and the service is friendly. I'm not sure I could get tired of this place! read more

This is where it all began! I used to be at Jim's Steakout at least ONCE a week (when I lived across the street). Sad, I know. Regardless, no one Jim's steakout in the city does it better! Ours is a love hate relationship. Do I want a Jim's Hot Bleu-Yes Please. Or a Diavlo? Or the Combo? OR A Frenchy?! Try them all! It's even better if you're on your way home from a jaunt down Allen at 4am. It's even good at 4pm when you're looking for a really good Turkey Sub. Try the taco in a bag, it's weirdly good. Oh and the fries with bleu cheese. YUM read more

Management was very rude, when we left after our order the owner said good luck on life to us, who does that. The owner made sure we knew he was the owner which makes things worse because of him being so rude, food was really good but will never go back to this location. read more

I love that Jim's is open until 5am. The staff are friendly, the food is made fresh and not sitting around waiting like some other fast food places. It's not fine cuisine, but they have really good fries and sometimes that is exactly what you need. They also serve funnel cake with lots of powdered sugar. This is a pretty good bet for comfort food *whenever* you need it. read more

Delicious cheesesteaks! Not much more to add. Service is what you would expect from fast food. Food speaks for itself. read more

Jim's Steakout - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Took a long walk down allentown with a friend yesterday , and we decided to grab POUTINE because he was craving it. However, I have never had one before and wasn't really up to it, and I don't really enjoy eating at Jim's. Anyways I gave it a chance, and it was actually okay not as bad as I thought it would be. I usually just enjoy my fries with ketchup only, but with gravy and cheese now that was something different for me. Guess its good to try new things every once in awhile. And trying it at Jim's was a great place, because they did a good job. I might be going for more, then maybe eventually it will be become a favorite. Service was great, although we did wait a tad bit long for our food to come. The inside is very calm, and nice looking. Allentown is just a great place itself, a lot of different people and very crowded, especially at that intersection. I loved it though! read more

It's late nite food, if all of the drinking doesn't make you feel awful this food will. Tastes fine, if you're drunk multiply that by 10 and its actually really great food. Taco in a bag is weird, but good. The real differentiator about this location is its body guard at the door and you can almost guarantee you'll get a fight anytime you're there. They definitely need the body guard. read more

best sub ever Just all round best people ever But buffalo is not that amazing but I love the subs at Jim's And I am a veggie read more

We ordered a 1/2 Turkey sub without bacon and they put bacon on it, we ordered the 5 peice chicken fingers dinner and we got 9 raggedy look'in fries, we ordered Chicken n the grass and got 2 tbsp of chicken and 1 tbsp of spinach and what looked like a hot dog bun. Wow! Management said its proportional. Not a good response! If your hungry dont waste your time at this location. read more

This place has always been a staple. I never ordered delivery before, but surprisingly fast! Amazing food, thanks all! Also, their veggie burger is very tasty especially if you order mushrooms on it, just saying cause my veggie only friend loved it too. Top notch quick food! read more

Stopped by here last Saturday night around 1am to check out how Allentown is doing. Allentown is hopping with hipster and hippies. and was a cool scene outside. As to Jim's Probably my first time in here since I moved out of buffalo. Used to eat here late nights all the time, as my friends lived in the building across the street back in 99-2003. Completely remodeled from when I remembered it, and have to say they did a good job. Nice modern look inside with good use of color. It was kinda of dingy white from what i remember. Alas I did not go here for the decor. I came here for the chicken finger sub, Jim's Bleu. No one makes one of these in Las Vegas like these guys, so I gotta get one while I am back. Ultimately they did not disappoint. Slightly crispy chicken fingers smothered in Bleu cheese, along with lettuce tomato, onion. Awww it's heaven. read more

Came in for the fries with gravy and poutine, however they use cheddar. Can't wait to get to Canada for some real poutine on my fries. Almost a cure for everything. :-) read more

Honestly I thought when I was looking into this place it was like a small business, turns out its actually a chain... so i guess this is fast food. We came in late like 10pm, in one of the wilder sides of buffalo. My father and I split the larger 12' philly. It was huge! covered with thin slices of meat, melted with cheese. It hit the spot, and I would totally come here again if I'm not worried about my figure. This is probably in a great location, with bars around ... they open late and you don't get better "drunk food" then greasy hoagies! read more

Excellent location, in the heart of Allentown. Perfect for those late-night cravings. My favorites? (1) Chicken finger sub (Jims Bleu) (2) French fries (some of the best I've had!) (3) Jims Bleu (not a mistake...it's worth mentioning twice) Other bonus? Their loyalty card which (if I remember to bring it) stacks up free food rather quickly. read more

This review is part of a trifecta of Jim's Steakout with three different locations - this review being the one on Allen St. We discovered Jim's last summer on our trip to the south when we visited a location on Sheridan Drive in Amherst and re-visited that one on June 6th. The other is located at Chippewa downtown. Backstory: During a day trip from Toronto (Mar 13/14) we happened to be going to a bar on Allen and noticed this location. Two things caught our attention - the bright neon light saying they were open until 5AM and the Sub of the Week discount. This was our final food destination on the way back to the Gulag (Canada) and we picked up four subs to go. (I also visited this place on Jun 6 but just to pick up a rewards card - see below). Parking: There is no free parking so you either need a meter or a lot. There is a lot behind the restaurant but when I went in March the meter was not working. As our main goal was a bar we ultimately parked on the street closer to that bar. Overall a medium sized establishment - full seating/bathroom. Also as stated they display a sign stating the sub of the week and are open until the wee hours (for the drunks leaving the local bars I can suspect - who of course know where the best places are to eat are [hint: Jim's]) . The Order: We ordered three 12" Philly Cheese on white and a 12" Diavlo on white. Overall we liked the Philly - better than the Chippewa location but not as tasty as the Sheridan location. The Diavlo - a case of "hot no flavor" - as such we disliked it and won't get that sub again. One thing that caught my eye - I found on a couple of the four subs that the meat was not extended all the way to the end of the bun. They load it quite a bit though so one can easily move it around. A detail point. Payment: They took VISA. Hours: Not sure of the days but open until 5 or 5:30 AM. Rewards: It was not until I was home after this March trip that I realized they offer a rewards program where they reward you 10% of the order against future subs. An amateur - learning that at this time was a huge burn. We bought 10 subs over three locations before figuring this out. Oh well. I went to this location on Jun 6th to pick up a card and used it later that day. ** Trifecta - So based on the three locations we visited, this was the middle favorite. The flavor was better than Chippewa by far but not AS tasty as the location on Sheridan. Great location - great hours though for those who do go to a bar and want a great Saturday/Sunday afternoon lunch at home with an excellent sub. Plus a ample seating to sit down. read more

Not bad. Some friends and I came here around midnight on a Tuesday night & they were still open, which was cool. The poutine hoagie fries were alright but for a location so close to canada, it was not authentic. It should have had cheese curds, not colby jack cheese. The mac and cheese bites were delicious, and the mango habanero sauce is amazing. The pizza hoagie was delicious. The pepperoni and two cheeses added to a cheesesteak was a great mix. All in all, only real complaint was the poutine recipe, and prices being a tad steep for the size of the portions. Would go back for sure. Good group environment. read more

I was craving Jim's After watching the hockey game and playing at the casino. Stopped at Jim's around 1130 last night as it was beginning to get really busy but the entire staff worked like a well tuned machine. Plus they were very very pleasant. The food never disappoints, and last night was no exception either. Besides the food being always good I am most impressed with that crew last night they were excellent; no ugly faces they moved in synchronicity. I only gave for stars because nobody's perfect but you will love it. read more

For the two days while I was on business in Buffalo, this was the spot. I had an opportunity to try all their goodies since I ate much if not all my meals here while in town. Convenient location, open til 5am for all the night owls and always satisfied my late night cravings. Some sketchy characters frequent here, but no one really bothers you. Load up and enjoy some good food. read more

This place needs a lot of help!! The staff had progressively gotten more rude and disgusting is almost unbearable!! There were 7 people cooking tonight Sunday December 9th at about 8:45pm when i came in to order a sub!! It took almost 30 mins for it to finish before i got a quick the interesting personality from on the lady cooks!! Her attitude is nothing to be desired!! Working in a corporate food industry i don't expect much from a place that has to deal with a lot of drunks but the reality is the customer service is not good at all!! Needless to say i will not be enjoying Jims on Allen anymore!! Fix ur staff!! read more

we ordered two subs from the Allen street location at 735pm on 5/31. the stinger sib had a few chunks of chicken, not full fingers. cheese on order was not provolone, and when you order for pickup, there should be more attention to accuracy as I can't come back to have you fix my order. it tastes fresh, but when corners are cut, you make customers angry. read more

simply put: got my order wrong. refused to correct it. cook was extremely rude. 20 min wait for shitty food.

Nothing more to say about Jim's except: GO THERE WHEN YOU ARE IN BUFFALO! Everything on the menu is great, prepare to be full and happy when you leave. read more

Haute cuisine it ain't. But, being a super huge, super delicious sandwich it certainly is! I had never tried one of these babies before... but upon heading to the theater and realizing I was STARVING, a friend and I ducked in for a quick bite and...... I'm hooked. I had the "Jim's Famous Steak Hoagie" and I can see why it's famous. "Steak chopped on the grill topped with fried onions, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and Jim's Secret Sauce - all on a toasted Italian roll". WOW! I gave a nod to health (ha!) by getting mine on whole wheat. It was the PERFECT sandwich! Meaty, cheesy, crunchy, gooey, and (surprisingly) not greasy. I had to eat about half the steak off with a fork before I could even close it and pick it up. SUPER YUM!! read more

I've been hearing this place has/had excellent food. I wasn't really impressed by the Philly Cheese steak hoagie I ordered. It was good but to be a philly cheese steak it was missing a lot. Maybe it was the location as I've noticed this place could possibly be a franchise. I've seen 3 of them since I've been here. read more

F-ck you, Jim. This was not a $9 sub you dick head. This shit should have been $7 max. Was it good? Yes. It was fantastic. But $9 for an 8" sub, get lost read more

"My Overall ratings for this location is 1 pathetic lonely star ratings for this location, due to lack of cleanse of inside of store and paying exactly $14.02 plus taxes for a tasteless, greasy, steak and cheese combo with very little meat inside of the sandwich, and associated with soggy, greasy, disgusting steak fries and also was over charged with a $2.50 plus tax /dep for just only a 20 oz bottle of ginger ale, along with shitty customer service, definitely will not be patronizing their location ever again if ever visting {ruff-buff} again'!!!!!!".....2-Thumbs Turnt Down to Jim Steakout on Allen St, Ughhh'!!!!! read more

My experience was horrible. A manager named "Chris" was complaining about having to work all day. And when I asked about what time they stopped serving(because I was trying to be polite). He said that he has been working all day and that it was just too late to make food, even with over 15 minutes until close. I said that I could come in and order in person within the 6am time frame. However he kept trying to dissuade me. I think that he may've thought that I was another drunken customer. It was very disappointing. I spend $40-70 a week there. I guess "Chris" must be doing a good job... somewhere? I've never met this guy, everyone else at tgis location has always been very nice. And very professional. Sorry if I don't see you folks for a while. Take care "Chris"... read more

In one of the seedier neighborhoods for sure and not what I remember from the last time I was by this place. They have expanded and cleaned it up but it still has an element feel that I wasn't comfortable with given that I am Canadian and we don't carry guns. This place is all about making money and not offering much of anything in return. Boneless chicken wings sound gross to me and the bread they use is not the quality from days gone by. I found the server to be abrupt and rude so I canceled my order and left. read more

This is the OG jims location. Food is always prepared amazing when we visit here compared to other locations. Staff is usually always friendly and despite location, it's never usually too busy during the day. I love the Jims Blue. I recommend it to people new to Jims. read more

I have been there on several occasions and since they added stuffed banana peppers I just had to try them. I was not disappointed. My peppers were done just right and the stuffing was delicious. I will be ordering them again, either with my meal or as a take home snack. If you like banana peppers you should try these. read more

First time into a Jims steakout location. Good service and a solid hot chicken finger blue cheese sub. Hot was just perfect for me who tends to favor spicy foods. read more

Jim's Steakout - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I am writing this as the third person who asked me for money is sitting in the booth opposite me shouting at everyone who walks in about paying him. The employees do not seem to care and I can barely take a bite without him trying to get cash from me. Seriously go someplace the employees give a flying frack about working at. read more

Just spent $21 and ordered a whole Stinger with nothing but steak cheese and chicken. I leave and drive home to find it is fully loaded. With foods I can't eat hence I ordered it plain. Not a big complainer but the amount of money I'm spending I shouldn't have to worry about it being wrong 30 minutes away. read more

I got a vegitarian hoagie here. I don't know what sauce they had on it but it was spicy, orange and straight from heaven. The mushrooms and peppers were perfectly stir-fried. I had to kill some time and it was a decent place to read a book and sip my Mountain Dew after downing my sandwich. I'm sure Ill be back. read more

Known for their "I see drunk people" quotes on their Jim's shirts, those four words describe the biggest part of their business, having lines of drunk, hungry people going out the door at the end of the night around 4am when people are forced to leave the bar and feed their drunken need for some great drunk food before getting home and praying to the porcelain gods that their great food stays down for them to enjoy. Now that I got that graphic tale of how Jim's Steakout became the hot spot for the late night munch fest let's get on with the review! Assuming your reading reviews here to see if this place is right for you, I'll give you an honest answer, yes it is. Jim's has a variety of food that you can choose from. My favorite sub they have is the Diavlo which has steak chopped on the grill topped with fried hot peppers, melted cheese and Jim's Secret Sauce - all on a toasted Italian roll. All hoagies come in an 8 inch or 12 inch option. In the mood for a taco or possibly a wrap? wings? other hot or cold hoagies? How about a burger grilled to perfection? that's just a short list of options you can get here. If you're on a diet or just like to eat healthy there are different varieties of salads, from healthy to unhealthy salads, or even order one of each ;). There are a few different side orders you can add onto your order as well such as onion rings, chips and three different styles of fries: regular fries, taco fries, and if you're Canadian you'll love this more than anyone, the poutine fries. There are combo options you can choose from too which will give a slight discount if you order your food in that fashion. Think this can be your favorite place where you might start dropping some serious cash here to feed that Jim's craving? Ask them a Jim's card. The card is free and you can gain points with every purchase you make. You'll be pleasantly surprised when you tally your points and get a meal on Jim's for being a great customer. I lost my card but they were able to get me another one and transfer my points, so you know they want you to get the points and get a free meal on them because that's just how they are, great people who put up with a lot of drunk people to make sure your fed before passing out. This is probably the second best location Jim's has. This location is right on the corner of Elmwood and Allen street. This was an ingenious move considering it is getting Elmwood drunks, Allentown drunks, and some forgetful drunk stragglers coming from downtown. This is one of the best ideas for a company I've seen in a long time, and can see this place blow up and expand throughout the U.S as one of the next big things. Try it out now so you can tell everyone that you had Jim's before Jim's was big when it gets there. read more

Great food and when the drunken crowd isn't being to rude the service is really fun as well. I love the Jefferson.

This was the second Jim's Steakout location I've visited and I much preferred this one. It is bigger than the Chippewa location and has a good amount of seating. I went a couple times both in the late night rush and in the day time and the staff were friendly and efficient on both visits. The first time I got my usual late night tacos and macaroni and cheese bites and they were the perfect junk food snack I'd been craving since my last visit to Buffalo. The second time I decided to try something new and got the Cordon Bleu sub. It was soooo good. The chicken finger was real chicken. The ham was delicious and ample. The bun was soft and chewy and rich. It made me seriously consider visiting Buffalo more often than the once a year I average. Love the large menu and late night hours. I'm glad there isn't a Jim's Steakout in Toronto or I'm be the size of a house. Best late night cuisine. read more

Stopped in to this Jim's Steak Out after cruising through the Slow Roll Buffalo ride this evening. Although I still agree that this is best enjoyed during the wee hours of the morning after a big night of adult indulgences, tonight after the bike ride the Philly Fries were a perfect touch! read more
