After nearly two years, fans of Jim's Steaks can finally get their cheesesteak fix on South Street.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- After nearly two years, fans of Jim's Steaks can finally get their cheesesteak fix on South Street.

The Philadelphia staple opened its doors on Wednesday and it was bigger and better than ever.

The spot's new expansions are a product of a long rebuilding process after a devastating fire.

Chopper 6 was over the restaurant on 4th and South streets Wednesday afternoon as a crowd gathered for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Then, it was time to head inside and place orders.
