Jim's South Street thanks everyone for their well-wishes and is eager to start their comeback.

The restaurant features its iconic art decor exterior and is one of the best-known cheesesteak spots in Philadelphia. It's been at the corner of South and 4th Streets for nearly 50 years.

In July, the fire department said problems likely stemmed from issues with the HVAC and duct systems.
