The ultimate "drunk food" Best steak hoagies in buffalo. Just only eat half if you're sober, otherwise u won't be able to accomplish much after bc you'll be put into a food coma. Their secret sauce really makes it. Definitely a place u need to take out of take out-of-towners after a night drinking on Elmwood or Allen. Fries are delicious too read more

Best steak sub in Buffalo, maybe even the world. I've lived in Philly and tried several of their offerings. Jim's is different. I'd rather not compare it to a Philly steak, because I want to say it's just wonderful. Two differences compared to Philly's: 1) all ingredients are chopped in and cheese is melted into the steak and 2) special sauce. The first is most important to me, because it ties the whole sandwich together. Every bite delivers every flavor. The Chicken Finger subs are also exceptional. The sauce is great and the sub drips with blue cheese. read more

Hello, Tonight drove to Jim's for dinner because I saw that they were closing at 12pm and taking their last orders at 11:30pm. I got there before 11:30 and called the restaurant to place my order but they would not pick up the phone. I knocked on the door and asked the employee to take my order and he went to check with the kitchen to see if they could take my order but they refused (it was before 11:30). He came to ask me "Why didn't you call on the way here?" but I did and they didn't pick up... Clearly they started closing the kitchen early and did not want to work. Please do not say you will take orders up until 11:30 if that is not the truth. Then I proceeded to get hollered at by an employee on my way back to my car "I LIKE YOUR HAIR!!". I'm obviously annoyed with the cover "rules" as is, but when a place has a sign on the door to say they would take orders up until 11:30 I would hope they would at least stand by that. read more

Yum yum yum!!!! It was awesome and I loved that they offered 3 sizes because the small was perfect for me. I was in the mood for cheesesteak and that has now been satisfied! read more

I live in Miami but every time I come to Buffalo to visit my family, eating at Jims is a MUST. Literally I crave it here ALL the time. The food is consistently delicious! It is a fast food place so obviously you expect it not to have the greatest service or cleanest facility, etc...but compared to other local fast food places this definitely tops the list. A HUGE plus is that it's open sooo late. This is my drunken night craving every single night that I go out in Buffalo and make it a point to visit one of the various locations after a few drinks. Then the food becomes 5 star restaurant good ;) read more

Service was incredibly slow and the staff was rude. Order was placed at 2:07am have not recieved my order and it is now 2:42am.

This place is pretty awesome. But i feel like everything is a couple bucks more than it should be. Their chicken finger sub is what I usually get, although the stinger is amazeballs too.. both end up being around $10... Not outrageous by any means, but it would definitely taste a little more 4 star like if I got change back for my Hamilton. Their fries, dang... always piping hot, crunchy, crazy big, and coated with just the right amount of salt. Delicious. Wait times can get lengthy sometimes at peak lunch/late night hours but hardly ever unbearable; the mood of the people around you in line plays a big role. read more

I really like the Diavlo sandwich from this place. It's their famous steak hoggie with fried hot peppers, melted cheese and Jim's Secret Sauce. Because everyone has some secret sauce in them. But this review has nothing to do with that. - This is all about a junk food concept gone wrong. Something that when I first heard about it, it totally blew my mind. So much so, that I had to go and try one. It's called "Taco In A Bag" and it apparently is only available at Jim's. Go figure. - So get this, "Taco In A Bag" is a pretty simple concept. Take (1) small bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos, add ground beef, cheese, lettuce and some hot sauce. Close the bag, shake it up and enjoy. I don't think I've ever enjoyed anything more sick in my life and it sure is a sight to watch a grown man using a plastic fork to dig out a Doritos bag full of funk. Only in America. This is one of those food items that just shouldn't be, but make total sense when you look at the psychotic fast food culture we are breeding here in the states. I'm almost surprised nobody tried this mash-up sooner. Definitive hang-over cure... I'm sure it is for many at 2AM. - Ohh yeah... and Jim's also serve's Poutine Fries. Pretty bad ass! Your heart will thank you later. read more

You know I guess I should only be mad at myself I have to stop being lazy and start reminding myself to set a timer to take out dinner or use my crockpot more often cause lately I feel like I am wasting my money on bad food , between work and after school activities for the kids life just gets busy. The one thing I notice is it aeemspeople just don't put love into cookin anymore.... so we grabbed a couple of "stingers" from this location last nite and awful is an under statement it was the easiest order 2 stingers both with double cheese-oil-Mayo that's it easy peasy!!! These were the driest-most unflavored-cheapest- things I have ever saw and no extra cheese even though the charged us for it . So wit it being so close to the holidays I figure I can spend my money on gifts for the kiddies , plus I cook better then the average one of the places anyway!!! After my post I was contacted by management and sent a giftcard that was the amount of my original order it was appreciated when I write reviews I don't do it to get any returns on anything. I just tell the truth about my experience GOOD or BAD! read more

The BBQ chicken finger sub is amazing. Remember: this is fast, comfort, dead of winter, warm you up food, not a Michelin starred restaurant. That said, I love it. My brother and fiancé love "the stinger", essentially a Chicken finger sub and a Philly cheesesteak in one monster sandwich. Their fries and onion rings are the perfect level of wonderful and late night greasy. read more

MUST HAVES: That I have eaten over the many many years that me and Jim's Steakout have co-existed in close proximity to each other since I was a child.... BBQ Chicken Finger Sub (I personally prefer to take it home & toss it in the fridge for a bit, I like it the best cold! :)))) ANY CHICKEN FINGERS, any style with fries - omg, salvation is happening in my mouth right now just thinkin about it.... Poutine Fries- um I didn't even know what these were before Jim's! I've seen them other places since where cheese curds and gravy are offered over a bed of fries, but here at Jim's they don't pretend to be fancy fanc, its just nacho cheese all the way with gravy gravy and it is a mixture I never thought I'd love until I tried it, thanks Jim...you're the best! Veggie Burger - I feel this is one of the best Veggie Burgers in town, despite it being from a fast food joint like Jims! Just tell em you want it with everything on it! :) Oh it's divine. TIPS - And don't forget to tip your cashiers/food preppers in that nice little green bucket on the counter, if you do they will melodiously send you a group "Thank you!". It's alwayssss nice to be appreciated ;) read more

Usually a trip here is a good venture. Not tonight (3-11-16 @ 6:55pm) Ordered 5 piece chicken finger and fry dinner. Chicken fingers are so small they actually fit the size of my finger (I have average hands...lol), and the rushed raw fries were not tasty. Hoping this is a bump in the road. Oh well...wasted $13 tonight. read more

Photos speak louder than words can explain. The manager was complaining about someone writing a review the previous day. Luckily I got deep fried food. This place should be closed down! read more

This is the worst Jim's on the planet. The Elmwood Avenue one. My order is always wrong and the service is horrendous and slow. This place is a joke. read more

Horrible rude person with rude customer service. Charged me for two soft drinks and gave me one. Yelled at us for waiting for our food made us leave the store. Kicked me and my African American friend off of the patio and let a white man sit and eat. She got mad that I payed for my food and started yelling at her coworkers to get more change and complained about making change. Horrible experience! read more

This is my favorite late night food stop. The Stinger is my sandwich of choice! Their fries are delicious too! The staff are really great. Especially when you see how many late night drunk people they have to deal with. read more

Food is good, if you want it within the hour though you need to go there and wait in line so they see your face.

Hands down best Hoagie I have tasted. Steak or tuerkey, I don't care, delicious! I have always anticipated the piping hot fries(always crush 'em before everything else). I love the tacos, w/o tomatoes. they always make it suicide hot for me. I must admit it is a diner for the drunken folk, but it gets crowded during the day too. I find myself there for lunch and/or a late nite snack. read more

I ordered a Jim's famous steak hoagie and a Jims famous chicken hoagie from this location for delivery and received 2 steak hoagies, mine was leaking through the wrapping with grease. When I called to ask for a replacement sandwich, she said my only option was to pay for a new one and come pick it up myself. She offered no apology and then hung up on me. After a couple of below average experiences here, the rudeness I received tonight ensures I'll never be back. read more

I ordered, over the phone a chicken philly, picked up the sandwich, couldn't get points on my card because the machine was broken, drove home, put on my pj's, got on the couch, turned on Judge Judy, opened my sandwich to find its not chicken. I spent $9 on this sub and I don't eat and I didn't order beef. I called and the girl couldn't find the order but offered to remake it. I got off the couch,got dressed, closed the sandwich and the bag, grabbed my keys and walked back to Jim's and picked up my chivken philly. I asked how I will be compensated for my inconvenience I was told "we remade it". I said the fact that I'm not on my couch eating it is an inconvenience that I should be compensated for. Lashell said she is just a manager and gave me the corporate office info. Why can't the manager make decisions to keep happy customers? She could have offered a free cookie it would have been something. The manager's unwillingness to do any thing at all pissed me off and there are too many restaurants around the area the I can go to and will go to from now on. read more

I'm rating this 1 star because on Monday 10/14/19 I ordered the sub of the week (chicken finger). I ordered it with light blue cheese, lettuce and tomatoes mild. The roll was hardly toasted and it had so much blue cheese on it. It was so sloppy and there were onions on it which I told the person taking to order I did not want them on the sub. Along with the sub I also ordered a regular French Fry and a large fountain drink and the total came to over $17.00. That's a crazy amount for a special sub of the week and fries and a drink. I would have given it less than one star if I could have. The reason i didn't take it back because I was on my lunch break and didn't have time. read more

Heaven on earth at 3am on a long Saturday night filled with drinking adult beverages. I like right near this location, but if you go in past 1am expect to wait since it is always pretty crowded...especially around 3-4am. You get to watch 25 drunk slobs stuff down greasy subs while you wait which is a fun bonus. The food itself is solid...chicken finger subs and steak hoagies are their staples. The fries taste very fake and overly salted...but at 4am no one cares. When I try to eat healthy I go with a turkey/ham on wheat which is really good but I always wake up the next morning tasting onions. No matter what you eat at Jim's..healthy or not, be expected to make frequent long trips to the bathroom the next day, I have seen some people at their worst the day after eating Jim's at 4am. I have eaten Jim's for lunch before...typically turkey and ham, and it still seems to mess me up for the rest of the day. So heed the advice for the feeling the next day, but lets be honest...at 4am drunk and hungry do you really care about what happens the next day? Exactly...so grab some of the best late night junk food Buffalo has to offer and hit up Jim's. read more

I used to love Jim's but its gotten a lot worse over the years. Could be that I'm just unlucky but the quality is so bad the last few times I went. Subs are sloppy and dry. I'd rather go to sleep starving than give this place another shot. read more

This Jim's steak out location is great. I always love the food here. We got the chicken finger sub (mild) with blue cheese. Always a favorite. Lots of other places to go in this area as well. read more

It is with some apprehension that I pen this. In a number of ways, I think that Jims is a chief factor in what is wrong with food in Buffalo. It is the exact same food that's been eaten for years, fries and hoagies and chicken fingers, and yet it in all the years that I can remember this place has survived countless restaurants which I thought were more innovative, more interesting and more creative. There are too many places like this in Buffalo, places which cater to the lowest common denominator. By God do I wish there was one in Philadelphia. Reader, there comes a time in many a man's life where he finds himself awash, utterly smashed out of his gourd, and without any semblance of intelligence. In the midst of this time, he may shelter and refuge in a place that allows him a place to fill his belly, pull some of the rotgut out of his system and continue his trek back home to a bed...or right back out from whence he came. It is a noble task to survive these people, to continue on through loud shouting, slurring of words, poor tipping and an overall unpleasant customer base, all during a time of night where none sane or sober are awake to great it. Jim's does it, and does it better than any place I have yet to find. I have no idea how they make that drunk food taste so damn good, but they do it better and make better sandwiches than many places which have aims to be a high end lunch spot. It's not high cuisine. It's not even close. But there's a reason why they keep going: the serve a horde of people who no one else will serve, and give them exactly what they want exactly when they want it. And it is glorious. read more

This is my favorite place to go for a chicken finger sub!! The wait is a little long but other than that, I love this place

Delish! Huge menu and they fill the bread right up with tasty, fresh ingredients! I wish they had a location in Niagara Falls!

This place does have good hoagies. Best when it's 4a n ur drunk!!!! If ur new to Buffalo, def gotta try this place.

I just moved to Buffalo and and I have heard a lot about this chain of sub shops. I decided to give them a try. From first appearance it seems very clean inside. The staff was very friendly. I got the sandwich called the Philly, the meet was kind of fatty and chewing but I guess for a chain restaurant wasn't half bad. The fries were OK too. Nothing spectacular though. 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 location hits up the Goodbar, Coles, and other surrounding bar area hungry drunks. This location gets pretty busy from the Buffalo State and area residents, I would try to avoid it around 4am unless you don't mind waiting. If you know what the owner of Jim's Steakout looks like you'll find him at this location a lot of the time. You probably won't know who he is because he dresses the same as his employees, and he also takes order at the counter and cooks too. Pretty great CEO don't you think? 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

I LOVE the chicken finger sub! It's SO delicious! This location is especially convenient when you want a down town-ish atmosphere! Super cute little street! I love coming here when I visit Buffalo! read more

If you want to wait 20 minutes at 4am and not get your food...go here. We ordered a sub, a taco, sweet potato fries, and a cookie. Waited 20 minutes, got poutine fries and a sub. read more

went here a few weeks ago and ordered the same thing as usual. a 6' hot bleu and a loganberry. amazing as usual. WHY THE HELL DID YOU CHANGE YOUR LAYOUT MENU!?!?!? THE NEW MENU LOOKS HORRIBLE!!! THIS IS NOT PANERA!!! ugh, why does it seem like everywhere in buffalo people are trying to make everything all nice and pretty, gimme a break read more

The fact that the Allen St location has like 4.5 stars and this one has 1 should tell you that the previous reviewer is ... confused. This location lacks some of the ambience, but the food is still delicious. I first tried the Stinger here, which is basically a combination of their two subs: chicken fingers and steak-and-cheese. You'd think it would be terrible, but no, it was a giant helping of delicious goo. read more

Food is great, customer service was horrible for me. I had a cashier named Maleaka and she was the most rude person ever. Didn't greet us at all, gave us nothing but dirty looks for no reason whatsoever. Other than that, food is great. read more

I adore this place. Found it when I was walking down elmwood exploring buffalo for the first time. This and mighty taco make me love buffalo fast food.. read more

Like another poster, I too don't get it. My partner (who grew up in Buffalo) took me here after having raved about the chicken finger subs for months. I like me some wing sauce and fried chicken and sandwiches so I was very excited for the unhealthy and delicious lunch we had been talking about for some time. Now...maybe my expectations were set a little high, but the experience began with a condescending back and forth with the guy taking our order and my partner (not me, I like to keep things simple). We got the sandwiches...and eh...shredded iceberg lettuce, blue cheese and/or mayo, chicken fingers covered in wing sauce, and a hoagie...yeah..i mean, was kind of good like if I had made it myself when I came home drunk and looked at what I had left over in the fridge and obviously wasn't interested in any kind of real presentation or taste. But like fixing food when you're drunk, you will regret this sandwich a few hours later. read more

My experience at Jim's steak house was awful. My mother was admitted to the hospital because of food poisoning from either the turkey or mayonnaise. Do not get the steak sauce at Jim's steak house it tastes live vomit on steak. Finally Jim's steak out is an awful place to eat i do not recommend it. read more
