Milk Boy South Street

You can order Jim's Cheesesteaks here and avoid the long lines. Came here for lunch while visiting South Street in Philadelphia. I initially thought about going to Jim's across the street. However, after seeing the line down the street and the limited indoor seating, decided to come to Milkboy, especially since you can order a Jim's Cheesesteak from Milkboy. It was early in the afternoon, so there was plenty of seating. Came to the upstairs bar area and was immediately greeted by the bartender. She was exceptionally friendly and helpful. She genuinely wanted to know how I enjoyed the cocktails she made. Ordered a few cocktails, Fried Brussels Sprouts, Chicken Cheesesteak, and Jim's South St. Brussels Sprouts arrived within 7 minutes and the Cheesesteaks within 15 minutes, which was much faster than waiting in the line at Jim's. Surprisingly, I actually liked the Chicken Cheesesteak more than the Jim's Cheesesteak. It was juicier and more flavorful. The Jim's was really good, but I preferred the Chicken Cheesesteak. The Brussels Sprouts were very crispy and had a nice char to them. Overall, I'm glad I came her to MIlkboy as it allowed me to order their Chicken Cheesesteak and also Jim's Cheesesteak from across the street. It wasn't crowded, food and drinks were delicious, and great customer service.

Good spot if you want Jim’a cheesesteaks but want to sit down and have a drink, too. The fried brussels sprouts were nice and crispy! The cheesesteaks were solid and so were the waffle fries. I also loved the hard cider! There are a few seats on the main level and the upstairs is a bar (and also where the bathrooms are)
