About Jimbo's Steak & Hoagies

Welcome to Jimbo's Steak & Hoagies

Located at the heart of Reading, Pennsylvania, Jimbo's Steak & Hoagies has been serving up authentic Philadelphia-style cheesesteaks and mouth-watering hoagies to our community for years. As the proud owner of this beloved local establishment, I can tell you that what started as a simple dream to bring genuine Philly flavors to Reading has grown into something truly special - a place where quality, tradition, and community spirit come together on every plate.

Our Story and Passion

When I first opened the doors at 3400 Plaza Dr, I had one clear mission: to create the most authentic Philadelphia-style steak and hoagie experience outside of the City of Brotherly Love itself. Having grown up with a deep appreciation for the art of sandwich making, I knew that success would come not from cutting corners, but from staying true to the time-honored traditions that make these foods so special.

At Jimbo's Steak & Hoagies, we understand that a great cheesesteak isn't just food - it's a cultural experience. Every sandwich we craft represents our commitment to maintaining the authentic flavors and preparation methods that have made Philadelphia famous worldwide. From the moment you walk through our doors, you'll smell the sizzling beef on our grills and witness the careful attention to detail that goes into every order.

Our Commitment to Quality

Quality is the cornerstone of everything we do at Jimbo's Steak & Hoagies. We source only the finest ingredients, working with trusted suppliers to ensure that every component of our sandwiches meets our exacting standards. Our beef is carefully selected and sliced fresh daily, ensuring that each bite delivers the tender, flavorful experience our customers expect and deserve.

Our bread comes from local bakeries that share our commitment to freshness and quality. We know that the foundation of any great hoagie or cheesesteak is the roll, and we take great care in selecting breads that have the perfect texture and flavor to complement our fillings. The result is a sandwich that holds together beautifully while allowing all the flavors to shine through.

What Makes Us Special

What truly sets Jimbo's Steak & Hoagies apart is our dedication to the craft of sandwich making. Our skilled grill masters have perfected the art of cooking steak to the ideal texture, ensuring that each portion is tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. We take pride in our technique, from the way we chop and season our meat to the precise timing of adding cheese and vegetables.

Our hoagies are built with the same level of care and attention. We layer each ingredient thoughtfully, balancing flavors and textures to create sandwiches that are both satisfying and delicious. Whether you're ordering a classic Italian hoagie packed with premium meats and cheeses, or opting for one of our signature creations, you can trust that every bite will be crafted with expertise.

Menu Highlights and Specialties

At Jimbo's Steak & Hoagies, our menu reflects our passion for authentic Philadelphia-style cuisine. Our classic cheesesteaks are prepared exactly as they should be - with thinly sliced ribeye steak, cooked to perfection and topped with your choice of cheese. We offer traditional Cheez Whiz, provolone, or American cheese, all melted to creamy perfection over our expertly prepared beef.

Our hoagie selection represents the best of this beloved sandwich tradition. From our loaded Italian hoagie with premium salami, capicola, and provolone, to our fresh turkey and roast beef combinations, each sandwich is built on quality bread and filled with the finest ingredients. We also offer chicken cheesesteaks for those who prefer poultry, prepared with the same attention to detail as our beef versions.

Beyond our core offerings, we've developed several house specialties that have become customer favorites.
