Most Buffalonians know Jim's Steakout. If you have ever been over-served beverages downtown or around Allen Street, you have probably stopped at Jim's Steakout (you may not remember but your credit card says you did)!. To be honest, it has been years since I've been there. I love a good steak sub but there are no locations very close to where we live and I never think about stopping by. We just happened to be in the Northtowns at 1:00 am and craved food, so we stopped at Jim's because it was on the way home. We ordered the BLT sub and a stinger. Let me tell you, that sub (at least that night) was the most delicious BLT I have ever had. The bacon was chopped up with the tomato and lettuce so every bit had bacon goodness. The stinger was also good, hearty and contained the grease that we needed! Will I ever go there during lunch or dinner hours without having a belly full of beverages? Perhaps I will...perhaps I will someday. read more

Was craving Jim's after being away from home for many years. As expected it did not disappoint. I forgot what a real steak and cheese sub tasted like. Two thumbs up and a must when visiting WNY read more

Jim's Steakout - Sandwiches Near Me - East Amherst, New York

Went through the drive thru just before midnight on a Saturday night and placed a $75 order. Order came out quickly (they weren't busy) but I have to complain about the portion size. I really hate to complain because I love Jim's Stakeout, I've been a customer for over 20 years but primarily at the Allentown and Elmwood locations. I ordered an 8" chicken Diavlo and packaged up, it felt light, once opened, my goodness, it looked almost empty and since we already drove off, I just ate it but I was so disappointed. I firmly believe that the original location is best but both the West Side of Buffalo locations are the better than the others. This particular order at the Amherst location on Transit, we were all disappointed and we ordered 5 hoagies, a wrap and two orders of fries. Not sure what's going on at this location but they have to do better. They have some great steak subs and this location just makes them look bad. read more

THE BEST location! Super friendly staff, restaurant is so clean and they get the order out so quick. Anytime I go here, it's so consistent and so good. That is also why I can't post a picture because I can't wait to eat it and there's never left overs! Maybe next time ... read more

I really love their 5 piece chicken finger dinner! It's great to have a warm meal cooked when it's late night and I'm finishing up work and everything is closed. It comes with yummy fries and blue cheese. read more

Chicken fingers were terrible. Cold and yet very overcooked almost like they double fried them and then let them sit. They were spongy and hard to eat. Stringy and unable to use a fork to cut them. Coating falling off and chicken underneath was black. Really awful. I want my money back. read more

Ok here goes it, my first 2 star review ever, I've made 1 star reviews before, never a 2 star. You cannot ignore the great taste of the Jim's famous steak hoagie... However ladies and gentlemen, they've disappointed me twice so far in a 3 day span. I haven't been to Jim's steak out since about last year, but when I first tried it about 6 or 7 years ago... IT WAS THE BEST STEAK HOAGIE I EVER HAD PACKED WITH MEAT!! EXTRA DELICIOUS, HUGE!!! I FELT THE SAME WAY LAST YEAR, BUT NOW.. NOW, it feels like they've gotten very cheap, by skimping the meat.. Just a few days ago I went to another Jim's steak out location, I ask for the famous steak out, and when I opened the sandwich I was pleased that there seemed to be plenty meat on the sandwich,.. I took a few bites and BAM, IM CRUNCHING IN TO NOTHING BUT LETTUCE AND TOMATOES WITH A SMALL LAYER OF MEAT ON THE SANDWICH. THEY BUFFED THE SANDWICH WITH EXTRA LETTUCE AND TOMATOES TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A NICE MEATY SANDWICH :) BOY WAS I WRONG. So today I come in, ask for light lettuce and tomatoes they did a good job there, however they were also LIGHT on the MEAT AGAIN ! What happened from last year till now!? I NOTICED THE PRICE JUMP! WHY, FOR YEARS AFTER TELLING EVERYONE TO GO THERE, WHY ?IS IT WHEN I COME BACK FROM FLORIDA AFTER A WHOLE OTHER YEAR OF BEING YOUR YEARLY CUSTOMER OVER 7 YEARS! AND ASK FOR THE SAME SANDWICH YOU GIVE ME HALF OF THE SAME SANDWICH AND UP THE PRICE? now I feel as if I should warn ppl not to go, the bread to meat ratio was more bread than meat, i never had this experience with you Jim's... Very disappointed, and now I'm hungry and want another one. Back then I could eat one at 2 and wouldn't want to eat for the rest of the day. It's just been very upsetting.. after working the fair and having to overspend on food there, then come to Jim's with maybe a 2$ price increase since last year and half the meat... and the 12" is basically 15 DOLLARS$? I can only imagine them getting an extra skinny sandwich and eating more bread than steak.... I'm appalled I don't know what's going on... I don't know what to think, I feel as if I wasted my money when I could've just went to an in out spend the same amount of money and actually be full. However I still was satisfied with the flavor and freshness which is why this review doesn't deserve a one star. I just wish someone warned me about this, and that's why I'm telling you. read more

Leslie P said it right. See her review from a year ago. Beef with hard pieces. Yuck! Ended up removing and throwing away all the poor quality beef off the Stinger sub sandwich. Never tried it. Never again. For $13 the Stinger was a big disappointment and a rip off. So much for being adventurous. So much for supporting a local chain instead of nationwide franchise Subway. I give two stars for the chicken finger sub my daughter ordered. She liked it less this time. Not as appetizing. About $12. If and when we return, probably not anytime soon, this is the sub we would get. Prices have gone up, quality down. Not like it used to be. read more

To me, Jim's feels like one of those quintessential Buffalo spots. Chicken Finger sub? Fried Mac and cheese? Yes please! If I need a late night snack after one too many drinks or just looking for a quick week night dinner, Jim's always hits the spot. read more

I ordered a cheeseburger from this location via the drive thru and it was served to me RAW! I called and let the staff know to prevent someone else from getting sick from eating raw meat. They said they got a new grill and should have checked it. Honestly, I will NEVER waste my time, money or risk my health to eat at Jim's Steakhouse again. Especially not that location. read more

Not friendly at all. They literally rolled their eyes at us when we walked in, like they didn't want our money. 5the girl with the black hair at the register was not friendly acted annoyed to even be taking our order. For the price I'll definitely be taking my money somewhere else. read more

Ordered online for drive-thru pickup. You can order for pickup or delivery. The online ordering system is easy to use, allowing you to customize what you are ordering. You can pre-order for a specific time or have your order started right away. I ordered two hot subs, Steak & Cheese and Italian Sausage & Cheese with dressing on the side and Poutine. Both subs and the poutine tasted good. The meat on the steak sub was not just shaved steak like many other places use but thicker slices. Only complaint was there was a fair amount of gristle in the meat. I don't mind marbling in steak because that is where a lot of flavor is but chewy, inedible gristle is not acceptable. For this reason I do not recommend their signature Steak & Cheese unless you run out of chewing gum. I will still go back but stick to the cold subs. read more

We've been here a few times for subs, usually hot subs. I normally get the Italian sausage sub, italian sausage smothered in melted provolone cheese and hot peppers. Their chicken finger sub is also pretty good. My husband has ordered a few different kinds but I pretty much stick with what I know I know and like. Worth checking out. 2021-13 read more

Place has gone down hill, use to be great years ago, now they don't know how to fry anything. Every time they serve soggy French fries and chicken fingers no matter the time of day. Officially done with this location. Overpriced, soggy, low effort. read more

Can't go wrong with food from Jim's steak out. Their greasy, fattening, delicious hangover food is spot on. Especially after a night of drinking and needing someplace quick and open at 2am! Everything from the traditional Buffalo chicken finger subs to chicken or steak hoagies, salads, etc. You have to keep in mind that service is going to be what you would expect it to be... It's a bunch of teenagers that are working minimum wage in long hours through the night. They arent there to make sure the customers are happy, they are there to make sure you get your drunk food and don't vomit all over the place. So for that, I will say - well done! read more

Ok so I'm only giving this particular experience 2 stars Reasons being :1) 2 stars is being generous because they will reflect the positive. And That is the amount put in the steak, Cheese, onion, & spinach Hoag was quite adequate. 2) The negative side of the rating is because of the enormous amounts of grizzle on the steak. Every other bite , I was pulling it off the sandwich. Nothing worse for me is biting into an otherwise good sandwich and having to grab Un-chewable hard fat pieces. Maybe if I was drunk I wouldn't have noticed. I hope this is fixed for future visits. I'm a strong advocate for supporting local businesses. I'll try again in about 6 months to see if the owner cares enough to read reviews. read more

Jim's is good but not great. I like them mostly out of convenience, because they're open later than most places in the area, their food is pretty good, they have a drive through, and they make the food fairly quickly. read more

Great steak subs highly recommend Prices compared to most places. Have used Uber eats for delivery

Yes they're open til like 4am or 5am or something ridiculous, but don't come in at that time, otherwise you'll see "Jim's Snake Out." He exposes himself at the same time of night, every night. It's like an added bonus for the last of the customers (literally, for them) if you're into that sort of thing. Personally I'm not. I like my guys a little younger, a little more exotic, and a little less well endowed. This Jim's Steak Out is like all the other ones. The best one is on Sheridan (near Sweet Home) and earns a 5-star rating for better-tasting food than all the others and better service. The worst one is on Sheridan near Colvin, for having the angriest owner and worst service and iffy food. The mediocre ones are downtown, on Allen and Chippewa. They're not bad, but they're too busy, too mesy, and service is iffy. This location is more like the best ones. It has pretty good service, it's nice and quiet, it's clean, it has cute decor which I took lots of pix of. I usually get the Jim's Deluxe which has everything on it. It's a cheesesteak with onions, mushrooms, you name it. It's heavy and delicious and huge. You can now get a half version or a bread roll version which is much smaller and a bit cheaper. Then they have tacos, which are like Taco Bell or Mighty Taco, but way tastier. You can compare them to Elmwood Taco on, er, Elmwood. They're tasty and well worth getting, and very wallet friendly too. $2 for beef, $3 for steak or chicken. None of them are amazing, but all of them will do the trick, but always ask for extra medium taco sauce on them. It's hard to give Jim's a 5 because even though some of the sandwiches are 5 star and the hours are 5 star, you can tell they use store-bought tortillas and ingredients straight from bags and the freezer. That's okay, for these prices you can't complain. But I'm going to keep the 5-star rating for the one location that tastes better than all others and where service goes above and beyond, and I'm gonna give this one a 4. But at 4am, in East Amherst, you really have no other option that is as decent as this. Speaking of decent. If you happen to see Jim's Snake Out, please snap a picture. It would be damn decent of you to record such an indecent escapade. And if you end up in legal troubles I'm sure you can "worm" your way out of it. You might even like the way it looks. It might make you slippery, like a snake. I mean, it might. Who knows. You never know until you try it. And on that note, I have to go jump out of a plane without a parachute. Will I survive? Who knows. I'll never know until I try it. read more

I've loved coming here since I was in highschool after a late night out. I still eat from here all the time! What originally got me was the macaroni bits oh my goodness to die for!!! I still always get a Jim's Bleu and I am never let down. The sweet potato fries with honey are amazing! Also the onion rings, whenever i'm debating on a place to quickly grab a bite to eat, Jim's is always the winner! The drive through is extremely fast, today i was in and out in 5 minutes which is actually crazy! I was also given a discount for some reason so thanks for that!! read more

I love Jim's Steakout! It's so yummy I could eat it all the time: I always get a Buffalo Chicken Tender Sub on white bread with mild sauce and blue cheese only. No veggies. It's the bomb dot com and I love the fries too. Fat, crispy ones. My only complaint is they have a rewards program (a fat credit style card) , but no one ever reminds me to use it! I go through the drive threw, no one asks me if I'm a rewards member, so I forget to use it. I eat in store, no one asks me, so I never use it and never get to add up points. read more

Love the chicken finger sub or just the chicken fingers and fries. Truly has some of the greatest fries in the area; they're a perfect mixture of crispy, potato-y, and salty. Chicken fingers are always great and that quality translates very well over to a chicken finger sub. Great sub place. read more

Jim's Steakout - 2-piece chicken finger and fries (hot) - Sandwiches Near Me - East Amherst, New York

If you live in Buffalo and have never been to a Jim's Steakout location, you truly aren't living here. I've been enjoying their food since the Elmwood location by Buff State was it. The Transit location is more centrally located for me and I'm happy for its existence. The management and staff at this location are great. They are helpful, quick, clean, and attentive. Really, what more could you ask for? Maybe a drive through when you need a 2am sub fix -- well they have that too. This location has enough seating for about 35 people. Seating is mostly hardback booths and tables with chairs. The pop machine, napkins, and utensils are in the same room, you'll never feel like you are cutting the line to ask for something extra. Bathrooms are located down a hallway, just off the dining area, and are always clean. The dining area has TVs and a few places to dispose of your trash. It also has a second door that feeds the exit, so you won't need to disturb the patrons in line on your way out. They are great for familys, small groups, and kids. The menu offers a lot of options. This is more a review about this location, check online for their full menu. I will recommend the steak sub and chicken finger sub (hot with blue cheese). Prices are great, around $10 for a full sub. They also have combo meals (drink, fries, half sub). I've never had a bad experience here, and I've been going for years. read more

Jim's Steakout - Whole chicken finger sub, side of fries, and a drink. - Sandwiches Near Me - East Amherst, New York

I've been coming to Jim's steakout for over 25 years. Chicken finger is usually my favorite. We went to the Transit rd Jim's today (6/16/23), and it was borderline terrible. The chicken on the sub was hard and not fresh. There was way too much sauce on the sub, and it was all leaked to the side. Way more than usual sauce. And they never gave me my side of blue cheese that I ordered. Without the blue cheese on side, the sun just isn't as good. Extremely disappointing, and I won't be back. read more

Ordered at the Transit Road store. My wait time was under 5 minutes. The store was clean all around and the cooler was fully stocked when I was there (7:00pm). My husband's hogie he said was "awesome" , (deluxe) while I was slightly disappointed in my Philly. It really didn't have much flavor (bland) and there were hardly any onions and peppers with it. My hogie was so full of meat , I had to eat with a fork . If it had only had some flavor, I would give you a definite 5 star. While the saying goes, you get what you pay for, our two hogies came to $ 24.25. It was pricey, but it beats the pants out of Subway down the road. read more

When I think of food you must try when you visit buffalo, Jims Chicken Finger sub is high on that list. Jims is great for lunch, dinner or late night after a long night of drinking. Easy order is a chicken finger sub, blu cheese with everything on it. If you want to spice it up a little, get the stinger which is chicken finger and steak. read more

Leave it to the suburbs to take a late night-post drinking establishment and turn into a lunch spot with a drive-thru. I'm giving this location a 3 star rating, not based upon the food because it's Jim's, what can you expect. The 3 star rating is for the service. My favorites right now are the (single) chicken finger wrap, Buffalo style and the philly wrap. These items are affordable and just the right size if you have the taste for a few different things. My other go to is and was always the poutine fries however with the shop opening on Allen I haven't gotten them here since. Usually when things are brought out to the suburbs you come to find out that service levels go up, the staff are friendly, the shop is more efficient and things just seem to go smoothly....sadly this is not case here. I come here because I work out in Getzville, so being in the Sahara of food deserts for many years I've come to find places with fast food or near another place that I visit or do business. Is my bank nearby? What about a store? A Starbucks? I need a quick hit, something that will allow me make a lunch run and come back in time as long as there are no traffic concerns. This is NOT the case for this location and actually think I've received better service downtown wither I've been drunk or sober! The drive-thru is anything but fast and the person, often an older woman is never ready to take your order when you pull up, once she takes it she's a tad short with you and even when there are a few cars or one car in front of you there is a wait. I understand this is not truly fast food but if you're going to operate a window maybe have some more pre-prepped food available? You want to keep your traffic moving swiftly and you want your customers coming back. More often than not I've seen a car or two from behind me pull away, sometimes not placing an order or sometimes they have. So my suggestion, if you are coming here on your lunch break, you may want to make sure you have a few extra 10 mins or so to spare. read more

Arrived in Buffalo late and needed to get some food. Apparently just about everything closes early in the area so we decided to come here. Reviews were decent on yelp and menu looked alright. We got our food and it was just okay. This place was busy especially the drive thru so many people must love it or perhaps settles on it since it's open late. We had cheesesteaks that were just average and lacked flavor. Staff was very nice which made for great service. Unfortunately that can't make up for subpar food. read more

It's a good choice for late night dinners when everywhere else is closed and you're super hungry! But it's by no means somewhere I would go during normal hours. Jim's has a good reputation but every time I go there, I come out feeling underwhelmed.. The menu is confusing because all the items (or most of them) sound the same from the descriptions, and they also looked the same when all our orders came out! So don't bother trying to figure out what to get! I had the Frenchy with steak, which was ok, and fries which tasted like frozen fries you get from the grocery store. Even the pepsi tasted off and bland. read more

Jims SteakOut.... Who doesn't love Jim's? Got myself a Jefferson (hold the onions) , which is pretty much heaven. Steak, Mineo and Sapio italian sausage, cheese and that wonderful sauce all loaded onto a Costanzo hoagie. Got a loganberry, I piled some fries on top (don't judge) and dug in. My only complaint is that our table wobbled. Past that great customer service, fast, clean and delicious! You can't go wrong with Jims! read more

Jim's Steakout - 12" Jefferson (steak, italian sausage, cheese, onions and sauce) hold the onions.... Heaven! - Sandwiches Near Me - East Amherst, New York

This experience was alright for me. My friends and I came here for a post-midnight snack. We ordered famous steak hoagies, sweet potato fries and onion rings. We had two orders of sweet potato fries; one of the orders were perfectly fried and the other was a little burnt. Regardless, they tasted amazing. The onion rings were delicious as well. However, the steak hoagies were not as good as we expected them to be. I can't really explain what was wrong because I don't have anything to compare it to. But, one of my friends had a stomachache and threw up a little the next morning. I found the shop to be a little dirty. They had about, lets say, 10 tables and 8/10 were not wiped down. There was either sauce or crumbs on most of the tables. That made seating very difficult. The staff should be more mindful of customers leaving and clean the area where the customers were seated. Perhaps, they don't have to clean every time a customer leaves (since it would be a hassle), but maybe every few customers. read more
